On a more personal note...

  I've added a bunch of weird dice to my collection. I have dice from one sided Moebius dice to twenty sided dice and everything in between. Add to that some d22s, d24s, d26s, d28s, a d30, d34, d48, d50, d60, d100 and the colossal d120 to round out the set. I also have a set of specially marked ten sided dice that can be used as percentile, a d1,000, a d10,000, a d100,000 and a d1,000,000. Another set of ten sided dice generates numbers from .000 to .999. Most of these dice came from The Dice Shop. The Moebius dice are found at Awesome Dice.
  Plans for this year's Gen Con are underway. The four day badge has been purchased and the hotel room reserved. This year, I had to wait 9 hours and 4 minutes before I could reserve my room so once again I'm out in the boondocks. I've been paying down my credit card and shifting money to my Simple and Serve accounts. Next month is a five check month so I'll be able to shift more money into them. My state and federal tax refunds are also going towards Gen Con.

Trump & his fucked up, gullible followers

  Our Dipshit in Chief got to view France's Bastille Day parade and has decided that he wants a military parade of his very own. This arrogant orange haired prick wants to waste money by having the military parade around in front of him in a display of military might. This self aggrandizing shit is the sort of thing you see in dictatorships like Russia, China and North Korea, not here in America. Thankfully, the military and many government officials see this for the moronic idea it is and don't want to go along with it.
  On a different note, it seems that we have more proof that Trump supporters are fucked up, brainwashed and gullible people. An Oxford University study showed that 96% of Trump backers are sharing junk news from sites like Breitbart, InfoWars, the National Review and Hannity.com and did so more than all other groups combined. Why are these sites allowed to spend this filth? Surely the First Amendment of the Constitution's freedom of speech protection doesn't extend to the lies and disinformation being peddled by these sites. Couldn't what they're peddling be regarded as defamation? Yet these sites and the tabloid rags being sold in stores continue to publish truly moronic and sensational conspiracy stories that Trump supporters swallow like they've been carved on tablets by God Himself. It goes to show you how truly stupid some people are.
