Things I have learned in 4 decades of DMing:

1. There is no encounter that cannot be cheesed by creative players

2. Same creative players will also party wipe by doing stupid things like trying to run on lava

It’s basically impossible to accurately scale encounters beyond astrology and good wishes. I’ve seen a party of 6th levels get wiped by seven starving goblins in a tower.

you can create shortcuts of web addresses and it’ll open that address in your default browser

If you have astigmatism or greatly different lens prescriptions per eye, it may be very hard for it to work.

If you do have astigmatism, you can kind of ‘squeeze’ or scrunch your eyelids down to compensate as you cross your eyes, and it may work better without glasses and closer up

Some people it just never works with

There will be no truly unbiased jury, this is way too public and polarizing

Fucking CB radio featured Luigi and that’s an impenetrable subculture

The world would be so much better if they stopped being so concerned with what other consenting adults are doing in private.

You have just figured out 40% of GOP insanity right there.

“How does he get to be a pretty woman when I cant? Well I’ll show him!” (the misgendering was intentional and hypothetical to make a point, mods pls)

I think the more complete question is: Is sexual repression common among conservatives the root of their infantile lashing out against LGBTQ+?

And if I were there for Diogenes’s chicken caper my eyes would have been a-rolling…

Philosophers of that era spend a lot of time drunk.

I mean who the fuck dies from laughing to death at a donkey eating figs?

Science is only one facet of life where definitions are important, and arguably not even the most daily impactful.

Also science is one of the few arenas with any real interest in a rigorous epistemic framework so that same concept of advancing definitions doesn’t work with social values, political situations, and most media where definitions are changed or co-opted for convenience and leverage rather than objective rhetorical value.

Pretending they do leads to things like ‘we will become more progressive over time as a society’ being accepted as truisms of human nature instead of the long-term efforts of hundreds of thousands of highly motivated and violently targeted individuals working to better the world for people they will never meet.

So yes, rigorous definitions in science is important, and thankfully we have developed many useful frameworks to ensure that no matter where in the world scientists share knowledge that it can be held to certain standards of rigor and objectivity

Literally no other facet of life has that same kind of special protection.

there is no definition that someone can’t fuck up, that’s the point of this exercise, not to find a perfect definition

But as usual 70% of you miss it

It wasn’t funny when Diogenes did it and it isn’t funny now but it keeps getting reposted anyway and we have to pretend it is

I’ve always found it very useful to find the capitalist shills like this early in threads like these to block and clear the air.

Amazing what happens when you actually apply game theory and observational data instead of doing whatever makes the rich richer quickest

Don’t put cats food dishes near their water dishes, it isn’t a mystery

And I am aware of zero of them so welcome to my blocklist unhelpful person

Not that anyone cares this is almost impossible to read on desktop

It does have a certain liminality I admit

fuck…
