I won for the first time several months ago and I'm still amazed at how quickly progression came after that. The next few times you win you may not make it back up with the amulet, but once you do almost every time you make it past level 10 or so you'll make it all the way down and back up again.

In other words, keep it up!

Heard some people at my work complain about a change enacted 5 or so years ago. They blamed Obama.

When we had field trips in early grade school, this is how they served the supplied PB&J's. I guess it kept the jelly from soaking into the bread while the sandwiches sat in a cooler for 4 hours.

I have heard that washing the shirt inside out and making sure to hang dry it helps, but I haven't had the patience to find out

In my coffee. Haha. I weigh out the amount of coffee I need before I grind it. That said, I also exclusively make cold brew, so I'm typically making enough for a few days.

I thought my cat was strange for this same behavior. I should have known he wasn't the only one. He will borrow under the blanket himself if I don't have an entrance for him. Or paw at my leg until I make him one.

If it was a publicly available Ethernet port, it was likely for public use. The fact that she thought it was malicious speaks to ignorance on her part, not yours.

I was actually just thinking about that the other day. As far as I can tell, people tend to fall in to one of two camps:

1. Make the character look as much like (a potentially idealized version of) yourself as possible
2. Make the character look nothing like yourself

I always make my characters completely different from me, so they often (maybe 60-70% of the time) end up being women. My friend always makes them look as close to himself as possible.

I think it comes down to different styles of roleplay. I'm myself every day. Why would I want to be myself but Cyberpunk? My friend, on the other hand, wants to imagine himself as being in that world.

And then you have the third camp of people who make their characters horny or humorous, which can be fun to do occasionally but I cannot imagine doing regularly.

A lot of the tiny critters responsible for decomp are aerobic, though, right? So once the air in the suit ran out they'd die, too.

I think a legitimate concern for that one is what do you define as a disability worth terminating the baby's life for. Some would likely abuse it for eugenics.

Making friends on sites like this can sometimes yield invites. There are also usually communities specifically dedicated to giving out invites. And if all else fails, some trackers have open invitations (either time-limited or with some kind of interview).

A common method is to get your feet wet with an easier to get into private tracker and use the invitation threads in it to get into the ones you want.

This is hilarious, or at least would be if it were an ironic thing.
