Joints got creaky so I started exercising. That was about sixteen years ago now and it has made a world of difference in my life and the adventures I can experience and enjoy.

I love the little wobble when she does kitty physics in her head before jumping.

Ads. I was born in the 1900s so I’m used to it.

Agreed, it also makes me wonder how long could the country go without a president.

I think we need multiple solutions with provisions for temporary lodging being part of it. It’s not ideal but with rent so expensive it’s inevitable people will be forced outside.

Sometimes I venture out into the larger pool of All but I don’t usually stay long. Too much seeing stuff I filter on purpose.

Good, it should not have passed. I’m all for doing something for the unhoused, but this isn’t the solution.

Growing up brown skinned I was not allowed in some of my white skinned friends’ houses because their parents thought I would steal stuff.

I made a nice loaf of bread that we’ve been eating this week.
SW: 209 lb - CW: 191 About five months ago my doctor put me on semgultide because I’ve spent years at pre-diabetes and was struggling to lose weight even with regular exercise. I have not found this drug to be a magic pill - I still need to track my CICO daily and exercise. I pushed to stay on the lowest dose till I hit a two month plateau because I am leery of relying on just the medication to manage my diet. I am well aware of most people’s experiences with getting off the drug and gaining weight again, so I am trying to treat this like a push in the right direction but not a long term solution. Anyhow I’m also just posting cause I forgot I subscribed to this group and I also want to see it active. If you’re in the US - happy Labor Day! I hope you’re off work today.
About six months ago I talked to [@Ashyr@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/u/Ashyr) about home brewing games set in Ancient China. Last night I finally debuted my game - The Scroll of Hengdian. If you like CDramas the name may be familiar as Hengdian Studios is where many series are filmed. My game is based on the [Castles and Crusades ](https://trolllord.com/castles-crusades/)game system so I could leverage the [Codex Sinarum](https://trolllord.com/product/castles-crusades-codex-sinarum/). The codex goes deeper into the actual history of China than my game does, but it is still very useful for this setting. My TTRPG is xianxia-based so I created a new 'cultivator' class for all of my players. The differentiation really comes with the clan and domain choices that give access to magic based on elemental aspects and creature choices. I borrowed heavily from the Codex Sinarum to develop the Qi abilities for my characters since that was the heaviest lift for me in terms of developing a new class that is a blending of fighter + wizard/cleric/illusionist. My players chose a blend of human and spirit based cultivators which gives me plenty of nuggets to develop additional qigong abilities. In terms of content, my players are starting as young cultivators who have met at a sect that has invited them to cultivate and achieve their first level. I also took a random suggestion I saw a while back about creating a Star Trek TNG "Q" type dragon character (Die Lan Zi - iykyk) that occasionally comes around to mess with the party.
He’s here to ask for a bite of my sammich.
