Homeownership.
Sucks to be you, I own a home made from recycled cardboard with a nice concrete roof (they call a bridge) ;)
On a serious note yeh renter too can’t afford one doesn’t matter what I earn unless I want to go paycheck to paycheck
Get a doctors appointment on the same day.
Zero gravity dancing?
Honestly I’ve often thought it would be fun to hire a sex worker, but it’s seemingly impossible to ensure safety from any diseases, from getting mugged, and also to ensure nobody is being exploited or coerced. I really wish it was legal and regulated (and ideally unionized) in my area. It would be cool to be able to access a service like that as easily as I can book a haircut.
tryst d link will usually have trustworthy SWers to contact if you’re really interested
Usually the ones that come off as spiritually into the whole thing will be your best bet for a first encounter
Also, don’t trust anyone who isn’t asking for vetting, seems backwards but sting ops will usually skip that part while legit SWers will often demand it to make sure they’re not exposing themselves to a sting on your end.

Where I am, SWers are decriminalized, but buying their services isn’t. So they don’t need to be afraid of stings. Not sure if that affects what you’re saying.
Anyway this is all hypothetical since I have a gf right now, but I’ve spent most of my adult life single and lonely and would have loved to be able to access SW services safely and legitimately during those times.
I might be stupid, but can someone explain why sex workers are decriminalized while buying their services isn’t? I don’t get the logic behind only punishing one party involved in the transaction. Note that I’m not against sex workers at all; I’m just confused about the logic.
Dungeons and dragons. I live in a foreign country and am still learning the language. I’m years away from being able to play.
There are translated versions of the D&D books in a couple of languages, though unfortunately not very many.
Frankly though, if you can read English well enough to slowly go through the rules, that’s good enough. Because while you’re actually playing it at the table, you and your friends can be speaking your own language, no problem.
This page has some advice on how to deal with non-English speaking tables. It’s talking about Pathfinder, which is a sort of “off-brand D&D” (personally I think Pathfinder 2e is a superior game to D&D 5e), but the advice is general enough to work for any RPG.
Thanks for the link I was not aware of it and will read it.
My main concern is that I’ll miss out on what’s happening as everyone will be speaking a different language. So I will not know what the dm is talking about or what choices the other characters have made.
You should try to play with other people who speak your language, so the DM and other players can describe the world & their actions in your language, using English only for the technical rules.
For example, if your language was French, you could have the following interaction:
Player: J’attaque le gobelin avec mon «Greatsword».
DM: D’accord. Roule pour frapper.
Player: C’est un d-vingt plus mon «Strength» ?
DM: Oui, plus ton «Proficiency» aussi.
I’m using French just because it’s the only other language I can write in, but the same idea could work for any language. Keep technical terms in English but mostly speak your language.
The trick is to find a group—or set up the group yourself, out of your friends!—of people you can play with IRL, not a random group of English-speaking strangers online.
