4·3 days agoHe turned out to be of the “I didn’t ask to be born, so no one else should be” flavor of madman. Rare, but not unheard of.
3·5 days agoI loved working in libraries. But even after becoming a manager, I couldn’t feed my kids on the pay. It sucked. I miss it.
Every food service place in my area fired their under-18 staff. Apparently it was a manager fad to declare minors “too much trouble” and so the only high schoolers I see are bagging groceries or camp counselors for little kids. My kids are 15 and want to start working but the best job in town that allows them is serving dinner and doing laundry at the fancy retirement community.
3·10 days agoThe people who made “If the 40k Emperor had a Text-to-speech” had to give it up for copyright/trademark reasons so they moved to making World Of Darkness (Vampire the Masquerade, Hunter the Reckoning, etc.) content. Their “Hunter: The Parenting” has been hysterical so far but personally the “Norfolk Wizard Game” has me pausing to cackle like a madwoman. I have played and GMed for WoD over the years and it’s just pure gold. I especially liked the episode “1 hour of Hermetic Propaganda to Fall Asleep To”
It’s a great alternative if your rental has a gas oven and you are rightfully concerned about the indoor air pollution caused by the burning of natural gas. We can’t change the installed range so we use an air-fryer/ toaster oven on one counter and an electric induction burner on the other. We got a wooded range cover and use it as counter space for food prep.
12·20 days agoI started reporting every obvious AI image as Spam- Offensive a few weeks ago. I got more of it for a day o so and then substantially less. You generally have to be really firm with the Pinterest algorithm about showing the same content repetitively. Not just ads, any content.
I don’t love Pinterest but it’s the least stress visual feed I’ve used.
Why would it be the policy everywhere? School choice rules that like are usually only in small areas like the Delaware. Usually they indicate that there isn’t a large difference in the quality of the schools between the areas. If you tried this in an area that had a urban-rural divide like Pennsylvania or New York, the flow of students into the suburban schools would be very difficult to handle.
4·24 days agoI met my spouse in a 2003 campaign and he had also taken a Dwarf and became a troll-slayer. I started out aiming for a magic user of some kind and ended up as a soothsayer and fortune teller. That games’ character building and progression was wild. I think we played a demo of the 2nd Ed rules at our local game shop a few years later.
It’s because your friend spends more 10 minutes listening to you, sees you more often than twice a year, and is truly paying attention to your well being.
If Doctors had time to chat and get to know you, they might gain more trust. Even in countries with funded medical systems, the amount of time a health care provider spends getting to know you personally is way down.
Why would I believe a guy who spent 10 minutes with me barely listening over my buddy who I talk to every day? I’m not saying this is a good thing, but we know what builds trust and it’s not what you get in a healthcare setting.
Homeopathic practices (🤮) have great patient reviews not because they are providing better care, but because their standard appointment length is 45-90 minutes and the patient feels heard and understood in that time.
How can you say that about Emily? Ali Beardsley makes the GM cuss at least as often. :)
It’s not always bad when your GM says “Fuck you.” Sometimes we say it because you just skipped to the end of the mystery that was supposed to last a few more sessions, sometimes it’s because you use the spells I just gave you to kill my big-bad.
Mostly it’s beautiful, because you did something I wasn’t expecting and now I get to work around it in real time. It’s not truly a collaborative story until you are making my life as the narrator hard, otherwise I’m just telling you a story on rails.
4·29 days agoNono, I remember this from JPII’s death. They yell his birth name 3 times into his room and then they use the hammer to smash his ring and seals. Dude was in a coma for a just long enough for us to hope for a Undead Pope -> Emperor on the Golden Throne situation.
132·1 month agoDid you even see the earlier Popes? He did everything you say and yet this guy was liberal by every definition compared to the guy he replaced. Benedict was nasty and he knew it.
43·1 month agoThat would make it a foot measurement, not a shoe size.
Where do you live that they don’t?
I am in the final countdown of our Brindlewood Bay game that I’ve been GM for a little over a year. Next up is a Dark Age Mage game for that group.
The other night we are playing a version of Battle Bots with house rules after a couple of years of Shadowrun, originally on 1st Ed modified, later of homebrew simplifications.
We’ve also played Ultraviolet Grasslands, The Between, Blades in the Dark, and Dungeon World in the last couple of years, along with several house experiments.
The reason Nebula and Dropout work is they are making their own content. Since most anime are sourced from the Manga or Light Novel sources, I don’t see an independent streaming company being able to get the rights and $$ to make animated content to stream. Also, animation is both expensive and takes a long time so any independent platform would need 2-4 of funding after making content to be able to survive long enough to make season 2 of anything.
Cops dragged my buddy out of his car and shot him for having his legally owned pistol. How in the fuck are we supposed to resist ICE with guns?
As a teen someone repeated the myth that wearing a bra to bed can cause breast cancer, “Say no more!” said I and never did ever again.
