... also not how you hammer things, no. Don't... try not to do that. Gratuitous structural damage is bad for organic beings. At the very least, hammer through someone else's thumb.

That's not how you hold a candle D:

Though I guess if you managed that you have a future in the BDSM field.

Think the states do it as something like at-minimum 1/16th native american to count? So at least one full blooded great-grandparent, something like that. There's a way of checking, in any case. Technically qualify for the various benefits in place for someone of native american descent, m'self. Some variation of Creek, iirc.

Personally though, yeah, I differentiate between native in the sense of pedigree and natural born citizen, if only to show a little respect for just how badly europeans and their descendants fucked over the pre-colonial natives. X generation American is a bit different from a Native American, basically. Possibly a bit like the germans and their WWII stuff, except we actually pretty much did pull off genocide and kept the land we murderdozed of the original inhabitants. Probably take another few hundred years before that mess really wears off the social consciousness.

Yeah, sorry, I'll still have to pass on that. XD

You miss a verra' unique taste sensation... but fair enough. Despite liking, I can't really recommend anyone drink it. Kinda' terrible for you. Just a titch.

Actually kinda' sad the reflux these days means I can't really drink any without having a horrible, horrible couple days. I miss it a bit...

E: Also, hello again Az-whatisit. I remember your gif thingy! You seem to have been gone for a while, so welcome back.

[...]but is addiction to iced tea, which is not bad[...]

True facts*: Iced tea -- tea in general, but particularly standard sweet iced tea -- is contributory to one of the major types of kidney stones. Also bad for a few other things, iirc. Tea's got some good stuff going for it, but it's also got a non-nonexistent amount of bad, and your usual sweet (iced) tea is about the worst of it in general circulation.** So... actually kinda' bad! Sorry

**As compared to stuff that's not in general circulation, like soda tea.

Everybody who keeps a phone gets it, it's called phantom ringing/vibrating.

... who keeps a phone and experiences the phenomena, anyway. This... whatever it is, is something I've never experienced, in any form, even when I kept a phone on me pretty much 24/7 for a few years. Video game binging laughs -- I've played 2-3 days near non-stop before and... nothing like what described. Closest is maybe some dreams involving video game stuff, but there's been pretty close to zero correlation there between play time and appearance in dream, with that. Or perhaps music, I guess, but I get semi-intrusive music recall from pretty much gorram everything, and again is something that's not particularly correlated to time exposed.*

*One of the biggest perpetrators of intrusive music remembrance that I've experienced is Peter and the Wolf, which I was exposed to maybe 20-30 minutes total when I was in my early teens and proceeded to intermittently get hit by it for the remaining... well, ever. It's been well over a decade now, though it's cut back a bit since I actually found the song and listened to it again.

Possibly a high automation game of Distant Worlds. Similarly, I think some of the paradox games can be played like that (via intrigue or whatever, my computer can't run any of the ones I have well enough to play much, so I don't know for sure), even if not precisely optimally.

Also a few AoS maps back in WC3 days that could be played like that, by not engaging with your heroes and just doing base maintenance and whatnot -- fairly unsatisfying, but possible. The Majesty games, perhaps. Very distantly the Ogre Battle line of games (all two of them, in english ).

S'far as I'm aware, you're going to find a few things that are kinda' similar to what you're looking for if you look at it sideways and squint a little, but something really fitting that description... just doesn't exist. Definitely nothing very well developed.

Peak nightmare, hahaha, silly LW. Peak nightmare would hermaphrodite spiders.

Wait, wait. No, some sort of cross between hermaphrodite spiders, bedbugs, and weevils. There we go, maximum nightmare.
