My dad has had flu-like symptoms ending in a lingering cough that went away for about a week before coming back with a vengeance. He finally got diagnosed last week, parainfluenza RNA. Maybe look into that? Lot of people been sick with something flu-like lately.
He’s also not contagious and the doctor only gave him an asthma puffer because he was having trouble breathing recently but mostly he’s just been taking cough mixture to reduce the symptoms.

Transition earlier.
Try to get away from my abusive parents.
Do certain things to meet my best friends earlier and convince them.
Stand up for myself more.
Spend more time with my grandparents.

I’ve thought about it a lot

It was about a futuristic world where the world and technology were intertwined and people would change how they looked, often becoming part animal or whatever, but then the technology goes down (I forget how) and everyone has to adapt to the real world and learn to live in it again

I appreciate your response and the other person who replied to you is right as well, but I wanted to add that I can “appreciate” Bible stories the same way I can appreciate other myths or legends, many of which the Bible stories originated from. I love mythology, it fascinates me, especially seeing who borrowed from who, but that doesn’t make them real or worth worshipping.

I read the Bible. I started asking questions about things in the Bible that didn’t match science, I loved science (still do), but nobody wanted to answer my questions, they’d just get mad, so I started seeking information elsewhere and came across atheist or ex-religious sources who answered the questions I had. Those sources also helped me realise the damage that had been done to me mentally, which I’m still working on overcoming.

She doesn’t mind. She meows in reply or comes running when he does it, and he doesn’t do it very often.

My partner named our cat Lana because he wanted to be able to scream “LAANAAA!” like Archer

When I was still being taken to church I won the door prize at youth group (church for teens) one night during a special event we were running (some thing to encourage people to invite their non-believing school friends and show how “hip” and “fun” they were, there were raffles and video games alongside our usual “live music”, skate ramps and bbq). The prize itself was a mobile phone. I was so happy because I didn’t already have one, but ultimately my parents decided I couldn’t have/use it until I got a job to pay for the credit. I did eventually get a job at KFC and was able to use the phone.

Another time I was visiting NZ with my parents and we were touring the base of a mountain and the guide was like “guess the height and whoever gets closest wins this pen”, I won but my mum made me give the pen back because she thought I’d cheated somehow? Idfk. Still a bit salty about the pen.

My 2yo cat likes to lay on the carpet and pull herself along instead of walk

Huh. I’m only a few episodes in but it seemed promising so far. Oh well.

I know they don’t do it out of malice. I even sent them the meme as well. They’re (mostly) a good group, but it would be nice if they roleplayed in character more. I think a few of them are pretty new players though, which probably affects that.

I don’t often self-insert. This character is probably the most self-insert I’ve done in the 10 years I’ve been playing D&D and most of that is incidental (him being raised in a theocratic city was really just because the addition made his story more fun). The gender thing would just be nice, and it’s a pretty minor aspect of what your character is, I would think. Besides, I think there’s always going to be aspects of the player that leak into the character, even if you don’t start off that way, it’s the nature of the game.

I’m not out to them, or most people in my life…

IGNORE ME!

This brought back memories long buried…
