But to go mad with watching, nights and days,
To stand in dread of thieves, fires, runaways
Who filch and fly, — in these if wealth consist,
Let me rank lowest on the paupers’ list.
[An vigilare metu exanimem, noctesque diesque
formidare malos fures, incendia, servos,
ne te conpilent fugientes, hoc iuvat? Horum
semper ego optarim pauperrimus esse bonorum.]
Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 1, # 1, “Qui fit, Mæcenas,” l. 76ff (1.1.76-79) (35 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]

I think of the great JD Salinger quote from his recurring character Seymour Glass:
“I'm a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.”
Whenever I'm actually in a good mood for no apparent reason, wondering if I'm manic or having some other insidious problem rather than just sleeping a full night and not being too sore and doing and enjoying things I like.

Because I can run a #solarpunk story with #DnD , with #cyberpunkRed, with #paranoia and even FATAL.
I just admit that I will be working without the main design philosophies of those games, often against them. None of them were written to tell the stories I want to tell.
As I said, we had multiple examples of people running non-violent D&D 5E - often with just single skill-checks.
It's just not what I want

" I no longer see almost anything real on my Instagram Reels anymore, and, as I have often reported, many users seem to have completely lost the ability to tell what is real and what is fake, or simply do not care anymore. "

@ricardoharvin I'm so sick of that argument. No, it doesn't.
Take it from someone who has had mental illness and who is on the spectrum. It's one of the biggest stigmas in the world.
Also, words have several meanings depending upon discipline - and in #psychology #racism is an umbrella term for #paranoia and #narcissism - which are huge problems nowadays. Both NPD and PPD are rampant.
You don't want to deal with that? You don't want to deal with the source - and that is pissing in the wind.
MORE: (looks at him: takes him aside: lowered voice) Have I your word, that what we say here is between us and has no existence beyond these walls?
NORFOLK: (impatient) Very well.
MORE: (almost whispering) And if the King should command you to repeat what I have said?
NORFOLK: I should keep my word to you!
MORE: Then what has become of your oath of obedience to the King?
NORFOLK: (indignant) You lay traps for me!
MORE: (now grown calm) No, I show you the times.

When did you first start worrying for humankind?

My latest post concerns the moment that I became uncertain about the survival of a species, thanks to an otherwise typical bus journey.
Please do comment with any similar experiences you have

Not *all* of his F'ups are intentional.
My father has #Dementia. I see SO much of his behavior in T****. Simply making stuff up when he simply can't remember (then attacking those who point out his mistake as being "out to get him".)
The #paranoia (he never LOSES anything. It's always "stolen".) Can't separate fact from fiction.
I would NEVER let my father manage ANY responsibility in his condition (no matter how small) let alone run an entire country.
Consistent with Friend Computer's instructions, all Citizens will shortly receive a message requesting to understand what they got done last week.
Failure to respond will be taken as a request for termination.
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.
Suffering leads to Communism.
Happiness is mandatory.
The highest praise you can receive is to be considered productive by peers and superiors.
Other traits such as "kindness", "empathy", and "patient" are irrelevant inefficiencies.
You are only as valuable as what you do.
Troubleshooters are Red Clearance,
Internal Security is Blue.
Trust in Friend Computer,
It knows what's best for you.
