Which is interesting, because the point of the phrase is to imply something is so commonplace that it practically has no value. It’s so commonplace you can get a dozen of them for a dime!

So technically while the relative value of the dime in this phrase decreases, the relative value of the phrase itself increases as the dime’s value ever further approaches negligible, ever better emphasizing the point!

Words are fun.

Because they want the benefits of advertising with the power of word-of-mouth, all at the expense of free.

That they think they can get away with it is bananas to me.

Fucking bonkers. Between this an McD’s changing their ToS to say using their app waives any right to non-arbitration dispute, something needs to be done about companies trying to effectively write new laws into their ToS. This shit is beyond egregious

Sausage (at least forcemeat in casing) dates to Mesopotamia, 3000BCE.

I don’t think the innovative leap to put that sausage in between bread is a world-breaking defiling of historical accuracy, personally.

Why wouldn’t your setting have potatoes? Does your setting have Peru in it? No, no Peru? Gee, then it sure sounds to me like you get to decide where potatoes come from in your setting; they don’t have to be a “new world” food if you world doesn’t have or has a different “new world.”

Not allowing reviews on the storefront seems minor, but is in fact an aggressively anti-consumer move given the standards of the industry. They’ve got other issues too, but that one gets ignored way too often for me to not mention

My friend, I regret to inform you that you are misunderstanding the meme

It’s force of will combined with self-confidence. Sorcerers cast magic using “The Secret,” basically. They believe in themselves hard enough that they manifest power into being. That’s the idea of charisma spell-casting. It’s okay if you think that’s dumb, but that’s the idea at play here.

edit for an analogy: where a Wizard has a magic book full of spells, the Sorcerer has a glitter-dusted vision board.

second edit: added links to give context for anyone unfamiliar with relevant terminology

I only played a one-shot with the guy; it was just a fun-run kind of game so I didn’t get a chance to see a lot of character, just the one day worth of OP-ness.

Very valid. All the more reason to need something to aspire to, imo.

Bananas. I’m not saying it’s hard now, but it used to be insanely easy to pirate. Everyone I know my age had a PC full of pirated films and music just searching directly on Kazaa or limewire without having ever even heard of terms like “VPN.”

and binge nutrek shit.

I hate how all of the new Trek shows seem so intent on subverting/dismantling the hopeful and utopian world of Star Trek.

Like, at least to me, the whole point of Star Trek is that while we have no shortage of pessimistic dystopian Sci-Fi, there’s painfully few major properties that paint a hopeful picture for the future. Star Trek was always an aspirational look at humanity to me; the new shows seem so focused on being tense and dramatic that they forget they’re supposed to have that aspirational quality.

In 3.5e one of the strongest builds I’d ever seen was a hummingbird wild shape air-domain caster druid with the natural spell feat (I believe that is what it was called). They’d fly around the battlefield in bird form which gave them such insane AC bonuses as to be basically unhittable, then they’d just cast Call Lightning and Ice Storm and destroy the enemies while remaining untouchable. It was honestly insanely OP

I mean who doesn’t have dark vision these days?

5e was absolutely devastating to the torch-seller economy

This. OnlyFans is the “farm to table” of the porn industry and people feel differently about stealing from a small family farm than they do from Walmart.

Also, beyond just the guilt aspect, that same “farm to table” principle also means that a lot of people see OnlyFans as a fair and reasonable exchange with minimal unnecessary exploitation. Paying a major porn company feels scummy and gross and may make you feel complicit with the various evils of the industry; subbing to an OnlyFans can feel more like a donation to a creator who makes content you enjoy.

I’m not defending them, but this was clearly always the plan. It was obvious they intended to enter the market just under competitor prices to establish a foothold and then later charge more and reset the industry standard in doing so.

Again, I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, because it does, but this was clearly the Disney+ game plan since day 1

It has. The pandemic helped a lot of people see their value as assets in the workplace, and unfortunately the owners and rich saw that new empowerment and immediately felt very threatened, so they have declared an all-out war on the working class. The fact that so many are taking so long to realize it unfortunately means that the rich are winning this war, too

Good eyes. I completely agree with this take. Cheers 👍

The artist just didn’t paint the exterior background for some reason, but you can clearly see the light from the window being cast on both the edge of the window frame and the main visible wall

Edit: okay so I see now the “night” in the title, but still there is clearly light being cast through the window; I guess we’re going to have to assume a bright sign exists outside the window or something

Multiple light sources though. The light from the window is providing beam light, but the rest of the light is being cast by various interior lights. I’m not sure they’re perfect even with this consideration, but I don’t think they’re wildly off to the point of assuming a stylistic choice.
