Chicken? That’s basically health food.
No, it doesn’t sound petty to spend your money carefully. I hope things get better with D&D.
Pupusas may be simple-looking, but they are amazing if made well and very filling. Plus they are easy to carry and store and they heat up well.
You can borrow the DVD from the library or buy it second-hand if you don’t want Hasbro/WoC to get your money. Even if you’ve moved on to Pathfinder or something else, it’s still a lot of fun.
It’s a great movie, the best movie yet to come out under the Dungeons and Dragons name. However:
The film made $93 million domestically, which is not good compared to the $150 million budget. Luckily, its worldwide total was $208.2 million, but with marketing costs, it is likely the film did not break even.

It’s often difficult to identify why a film didn’t perform well, but fan anger over the licensing changes likely contributed, e.g. see: https://screenrant.com/dungeons-dragons-honor-among-thieves-box-office-bomb-reason/
The movie could have been a huge hit instead of just maybe breaking even. Trying to rip off the core fans right before it came out was a dumb idea.
These are the same geniuses who tanked their big Hollywood movie by changing their game license just before the movie came out, right?
It wasn’t 9/11, it was the 2001 release of Slayer’s epic album God Hates Us All.
The CEO of that company supports Trump and spreads the election lies, FWIW.
I think the idea is that parts of the world will be like number 1 (with people in it), and other parts of the world like numbers 2 and 3.
That’s a great definition of science! Look at something in the world and take it way too seriously.
That’s very interesting… because in these memes, anything can be absurd except for the Saddam-9/11 link; in this way they tacitly propagate the lie that Saddam was connected to 9/11.
Over the past 24 hours I’ve seen memes about the absurdity of saying that immigrants are eating pets in Ohio. But if conservatives wanted to counteract that, they’d adopt the Saddam-9/11-meme approach: propagate memes that similarly involve absurdities but that tacitly assume that immigrants do eat pets in Ohio.
Maybe I’m thinking too much like a scientist. There’s probably already a principle something like: To spread a harmful lie, hide it in a harmless lie.
(edit: I don’t mean this as a criticism of you in particular, @fossilesque@mander.xyz ; on the contrary thank you for keeping us all up-to-date on the latest memes.)
so… I’m familiar with the meme, but connecting Saddam with 9/11 was a conservative take used to rush us into an unnecessary war, so… the intent of these memes is a little hard to interpret.
A lot of times the problem I had was that I didn’t sufficiently understand something from a week or two ago. So to clear up my confusion, the teacher would have had to stop the class and let me work through a couple examples of previous work till I understood it. (yes I’d study between classes too.)
I kind of understand the objection, though. It’s a short step from “it isn’t manly to be enraged” to “just pull yourself up from your bootstraps.” I don’t think that’s what Marcus Aurelius was saying, but I can see how someone might read it that way.
since they are by definition far beyond our technology,
There’s always a scenario like “District 9”, which involves a spaceship full of uneducated workers in a ship whose technology they don’t understand.
Is this how mermaids are conceived?
Froakie is unable to battle!
What happens if you have a Sinful Thought during “The Great Snatch”? Do you get un-Snatched? What if you immediately Repent? Do you get Snatched again? Will there be people bouncing back and forth indefinitely?
