I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

TBF, the Bee movie made a similar mistake with Superior/Supreme court word-ology since the Writers are of California where there courts have funny non-standard names for some reason and they just took it for granted that the legal/law-enforcement system in the rest of America mirror's their own.

It's like if an indie movie comes out of Wisconsin/Illinois and they use words like "bubbler" in a school convo between 7 year olds.
(Bubbler is a brand-name... of the faucet/tap itself, as it sometimes was just that affixed to a ground-well hand-pump [no basin])
-You can technically fix a bubbler to the end of a garden-hose and still call it a bubbler, but not a drinking-fountain.

Although what irks me is if they do a scene that's supposed to be set in Wisonsin and anyone says "water fountain".
I saw my first scary movie when I was a preteen but it was an old movie with less gore and graphics compared to now.
either nightmare on elm street or Halloween. I forget which.


I gotta admit, I thought Nightmare on Elm was a comedy.
I grew up with parents that lumped older R-rated films in with PG-13 ones.
(PG-13 was a new "in-tween" hard-R films and normie PG stuff... so my parents just retroactively lumped all the old soft-R films in the same group)
-So that meant Ghostbusters, CaddieShack, Aliens [in theaters], Die Hard, The Fly, Revenge of the Nerds, Police Academy, Dead Heat, Terminator, The Fog, The blob, ... etc... heck, anything and everything John Carpenter...

Watching unrated films when 7 years old was a bit of a coin-toss, though.

Long story short, if it was a saturday night movie, I could watch it if I could stay awake and quiet.

Staying completely motionless for the duration of the film was just a thing we did.
