Str 17 Dex 7 Con 6 Int 15 Wis 6 Cha 13

Starting stats. I’m a large guy and just naturally strong. Low dex, I can’t do any activity involving balance other than ride a bike. Con is low, I get sick and when I donit hits hard. Pretty high Int, computer science and gifted. But sabotaged by failing out of college more than once. Cha is ok, I’m an introvert who be engaging when he wants.

Now in my in my 50s Str is down. Int is down, or maybe my Wis has come up enough to realize my Int isn’t as high as I thought.

To summarize, “I have a POV that almost no one else has. Why is everyone not naming things the way I see them.”

BSG is an interesting example. I’m in the middle of a rewatch. Yes on the Earth aspect.

But the opening credits always mention that the cylons have a plan. After the show was over Ronald D. Moore, the show runner, admitted they made up that line because it sounded cool. There was no cylon plan. Disappointing as that part of the show’s mythology was teased and I would have liked to know more.

Us olds call this a burnout.

Not we, the Daily Beast is one overly dramatic headline away from a tabloid.

15-25% usually 20%. I have worked for tips so I get it.

My wife tipped 25% at an ice cream parlor last night. Which I thought was ridiculous considering he just pulled three pints out of a freezer behind him.

It’s too many places now.
