Did I mention I forgot my laptop with our presentation this morning, then forgot the power adapter this afternoon? I’m bad at life.

Aidan should do it. I'm sure he has plenty of free time at the moment since they're not working on a project or anything.

I dreamt last night that I was running a game where Hawke was actually also the Warden, and my players objected vociferously. #dragonage

Well this^ is a complete non sequitur.

This might be a pretty good definition of "progressive" ...

Oops ... I originally pressed the wrong quote button.
 
Hopefully my non sequitur has been corrected.

...

Progressive

A term that former liberals co-opted when they discovered that their delusional beliefs didn't fit any recognized definition of the word liberal.

These fools are frequently self-loathing, unsuccessful losers who can only feel better by projecting their failures onto their opponents.

A "Progressive" is identified by the following behaviors/beliefs:

- Knows what is best for everybody else

- Claims to be well-informed even though they get their news/talking points from the Daily KOS and/or MSNBC

- Believes that personal wealth is evil yrt they fawn over wealthy celebrities and limousine liberals

- Believes corporations and profit are evil, and will tweet about this 24/7 on their fancy iPad

- Thinks name-calling and demonizing opponents is the same as debate

- Accuses every person with a dissenting view of being a racist

- Supported Occupy Wall Street from the comfort of their living room, not the rape tent

- Drives a Prius with a COEXIST bumper sticker

- Believes in the rights of everyone, except those who disagree

- Thinks the Constitution is flawed because they can't control all 3 branches of government

- Believes YOUR success could only have come at THEIR expense

- Believes Al Gore is right about global warming, even though his carbon footprint 100X of the average person

- Thinks voter identification is racist, because it discriminates against dead people


Conservative: I believe in personal responsibility and smaller government

Progressive: You racist hate-monger

Conservative: You said you believed in equal rights for everybody

Progressive: Racist! You should die!

Gonna be at the BioWare Base, and roaming the floor like the grim spectre of being terrible at your games.

But ... where's the little pole you stick in the ground?

I wonder how much influence and power they gained...
