Oregon trail
Barbarian: I’m just saying, if the game was more like the old dos games back in the day, we’d move a lot faster.
GM: Alright, we can do that. Roll a d20.
Barbarian: *rolls* 13.
Gm: Congrats! you have died of dysentery.

#Oregon Trail #anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #(though Oregon Trail is in that uncomfortable place) #(where I was just old enough to remember *that* I experienced it) #(but not old enough to remember anything *about* the experience) #(not a pleasant feeling that) #(but in any case I’ve heard enough second-hand dysentery jokes to get this one)
cosmic-llin asked: You are invited to share five facts about yourself and then copy and send this to 10 of your favourite followers.
1. When my laptop became incapable of supporting its own monitor’s weight, I made a harness for it out of a loop of string and a keychain loop. The keychain loop is to make it adjustable: I can make the string shorter or longer (tilting the monitor forward or back) by winding more or less of it into the keychain loop. The harness won’t stop it from slamming shut if you tilt the laptop too far forward, but mostly it works pretty well.
2. I am enjoying having a hematine ring again way too much. You see, hematine is magnetic, and the aforementioned keychain loop is attracted to magnets. Thus, I’ve ended up playing around with that a lot. I’ve also been discovering just how many everyday objects respond to magnets. (Unfortunately, metal spoons are heavy enough that you can’t actually lift them with the power of a single magnetic ring.)
3. I am a Jew born on Sunday, and am therefore free to choose my own destiny. Yay loopholes! …oh god, maybe being born a Jew on Sunday destines you to enjoy playing Hunt the Loophole.
4. I don’t really like cake, and outright hate frosting. For about as long as I’ve been old enough to have major input into the decision, my birthday cakes have been made of ice cream, brownies, or both.
5. I have an entire bookcase filled with the products of the many, many art workshops I’ve participated in over the years. (Okay, so it’s a fairly small bookshelf: seven shelves, but each only 12” by 9”. And a couple of the things on it are dolls and other things I didn’t make. But it is full, and almost all with my art.)

I actually have heard of people (who don’t live in commercials) throwing big menarche parties, of varying levels of embarrassment.
My family didn’t do anything this big, but I did get a necklace and a trip to Olive Garden (I chose the restaurant) for my menarche.

What the fuck is this bullshit and why was it recommended for me?
It’s not like men are involved in the creation of the baby or anything.
I mean shit, I understand that pregnancy is an extremely strenuous thing on the woman, but that doesn’t mean that a dude can’t be proud of the fact that he’s going to be a father.
Hmm. Weird how someone would want to be considered a part of the pregnancy…
There goes all of my respect for Mila Kunis.My goodness, women like this have some fucking nerve. Good luck Ashton.
Please stop.
Pregnancy is a very dangerous time for cis-women. Until cis-men are capable of nine months of pain without the ability to take painkillers, followed by hours of one of the most painful experiences a human can undergo, I agree with Mila Kunis. It is your child. Not your pregnancy. You don’t get a fucking medal for sticking your dick inside someone and impregnating them, you get a child. So no, you don’t need a fucking spotlight highlighting your months of work and pain and the fact that you can potentially die trying to bring life into the world when you have not undergone any of the physical effort.
Things you can expect during pregnancy: Anemia, urinary tract infections, constipation, mental health conditions including intense depression, hyperemesis gravidarm (basically when persistent vomiting is more than just morning sickness and requires hospitalization). Not to mention there are dozens of infections that can cause serious problems. (x) (x)
Oh and the fact that 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriages which obviously requires hospitalization for the pregnant woman and causes a lot of emotional trauma.
Or that you can’t consume alcohol, most types of fish, you can’t expose yourself to hot water (or any heat, really), or get an x-ray. You cannot eat lunch meats, raw sprouts (radishes, alfalfa, etc.), soft cheeses, anything unpasteurized is out, as are foods with raw or undercooked eggs. And caffeine can lead to miscarriages, so say goodbye to coffee, teas, and chocolate. (x) (x) (x)
About 2 million pregnancy losses occur annually in the U.S.; 6 million babies are born. 25% of pregnancies are lost.
14.5% of pregnant women will experience at least one pregnancy complication.
11% of women are diagnosed with post partum depression.
(x)
800 women die because of pregnancy-related problems in the U.S. annually. (x)
Labor can last for 36 hours or more. You’re in a room full of strangers, who are all seeing your vagina, your blood, your shit, your piss, and your agony. It’s common for tearing to occur during the delivery (x) and after the baby is born you still have to deliver the placenta (essentially an organ).
Pregnancy is terrifying, dangerous, and uncomfortable. None of you have the right to shit on Mila Kunis for telling the truth: You do not deserve the spotlight of your wife’s pregnancy. So get over yourselves. Yes, the father CAN be proud, and he should be. But it’s not his pregnancy. He is not the one who will endure it.
It is not weird that someone would want to be involved in their wife’s pregnancy. It is weird that you have the fucking nerve to lose respect for someone reminding you that the father is not the pregnant one in the picture.
So please, stop.
Today in male entitlement: now women ”have some nerve” if they remind men that they are not, in fact, the pregnant ones.
Okay, so fathers are allowed and even pressured to feel proud. How then should they express this pride? “My wife and I are having a baby” is forbidden (see first GIF), so what’s permitted?

“Everyone has sex,” said the incubus.
“I’m a sex demon. I know.”“You must have the wrong address,”
Scott said with a shrug.“I don’t have the wrong address,”
the incubus snapped.
“I am attracted to surges of passion.
You must have been doing something
that drew me into your bedroom.”“I was doing concept sketches,”
Scott said. “Here, look.”Original work Infernal Passion by Ysabetwordsmith
