I assume this is because they're primarily based in the cities? What are mask etiquettes like in Texas now?

Most of the men I know grew their hair long this year. I've got mine at its longest ever and I'm planning to let it keep going for another year. My conditioner use has quadrupled and I used a straightening iron for the first time the other day. Anyone else?

Be mindful of the difference between queer spaces (specific, tangible, dependent on queer plurality,) and the queer "community", an unnervingly large and disparate coalition of perspectives. The former can be invaded and ruined by people who are just looking to feel included. The latter is very flexible and you're probably doing fine on community standards.
Edit: alt comment: you sound like you're this close to coming out! Forget about how you might come off and just be queer if you're sincere about these considerations. (Unsurely recounting one's own history of attractions/non-attractions is central to bi life!)

I think I am aiming for deliberate stall points where the game gives contradictory or too-vaguely-scoped instructions that force players to house rule the game back into function -- infrastructure for how the group should progress in the face of ambiguity is a focus of much of the deck (and it is indeed meant to be an in person game, for analog negotiation.)
Hmm...

I'm working on a card game that would arrive to your home without a rulebook, but I'm having a comprehensibility problem. Below is some basic rules text for this game. If you had enough time to decipher the below, do you believe you could understand its meaning? Are there any words which are too obscure?
Join a game by selecting a central objective from among its currently apparent contests. Catch a turn from wherever to start playing then describe your plan aloud to the group. If anyone agrees that your plan is valid (legal?) then they can accept you into the game as their second. Anyone else who wants to join at this point may also join/rejoin as your teammate.
Contests are tensions between two scales which can be described by consensus. For example, imagine I'm 1v1 with Ah while you are on a team with Bo and Ci against Du. Imagine Du sees that the tide is not in their favor, and decides to jump ship to the other game. They may do so at any time by admitting they want out of their losing position and describing which team in the other game they would like to swing over to join (My team or Ah's.). Bo, Ci, and you are left in the boat without an opponent. This may cause a crisis (see "Crisis Card").
Farewell, I am off to prepare lunch for a child.

Maybe the ending is underwhelming compared to the book's (Stephen Black is well acted but underdone) and of course the adaptation is very condensed, but I don't think you would be disappointed. I was charmed!

I mean you were nice but you've already answered the question you asked when you suggested that a Trump vote could be meant to protect themselves, their loved ones, and the country. What else is there to the topic besides a call to "reveal and explain yourselves"?

I did not vote for Trump, in fact I am an enthusiastic constituent of AOC's and I share the sentiment of most of the comments in the thread that the thread is probably not a good idea. I started to compose a response to you, then I thought I would just rephrase u/turtle's mother's complaints, but then I realized I don't have a point to make by doing so -- especially given that we do not yet know the outcome of the election. It is, I think, telling and concerning that we are still wondering "what are they even thinking?" and seemingly hoping that someone might just render their opinions up for evaluation.
Has anyone here played Dyson Sphere Project? I picked it up yesterday and it seemed similar.
