kebab will always be my top choice, unless shawarma is also an option

ha! that shit is too good to edit

women do tend to live longer than men, so maybe we could see a 91 year-old AOC on the ballet in 2080…

I promise there’s no scoffing here! I love my analog bidet, and am always on the lookout for an upgrade, if the price is right. Especially if it can be fitted to a standard american toilet.

Happily taking recommendations, if you have any. The features you listed sound refreshing, relaxing, and somewhat intimidating. Which, to be clear, I’m into.

what’s on the app? profiles for different butts? live feedback from a down-under camera? AI stool analysis?

rock and stone!

that applicants name? Albert Einstein

it’s very easy to enter wrong numbers on a calculator, but you need some basic reasoning and familiarity to know when an answer is off, and you need to start over

or a watch!

we have always been at war with Eurasia!

there’s a word for that… terrorism.

also follows with their sense of extreme conservatism, religious fundamentalism, and anti-globalism/hyper nationalism

and then when it gets too hot down there, all of the snowbirds migrate out and start an insane summer spread for the rest of the continent

I’m finally over the feeling of going into comment sections thinking “there’s too many bots, no reason to try adding to the conversation”

reddit had no middle ground between new posts that get buried and overinflated posts that have a thousand regurgitated phrases plastered all over it

pretty sure the spam calls and emails to the poor saps only talk about “saving america”

then they’re free to make up whatever it is they think that means

Kate Beckinsale agreed to star in the film for scale if she would be allowed to wear her “lucky hat” during filming, and Bright agreed.[1] On her first day of filming, the producers demanded that Bright tell her to remove the hat, and Bright refused, as this was the only reason she was in the film for a low salary. Arguments between Bright and producers persisted during filming.[1]

but more importantly:

Matthew Bright conceived the film when he was 18, as “a raucous comedy about little people fucking each other”.[1]

the wiki for this movie is wild

my personal rule is to only lay a trap that has clear potential to be discovered in-game, with a context clue, and not an ambiguous “roll for perception” out of nowhere.

randomly dropping an anvil on a player is a dick move.

telling players they’re walking through an active construction site of a new smithing conglomerate, with an unfinished forge 10 meters above them, at least sets the tone and let’s them know caution is a reasonable option.

also sets up some weird intrigue that could easily turn into a sidequest.

I had a sort of opposite problem the last time I ran a campaign. my players came into the game super paranoid, probably from reading stories about tricky DMs, and it made my life pretty difficult.

I did set up traps and misdirection, but only when there were exactly enough clues to figure it out. I learned that the major problem with that method, is that what’s obviously a clue to me wasn’t always obvious for them. so, I was thought of as a tricky DM. then, after I softened up, my sessions looked too easy and obvious.

honestly, it’s just a really difficult balance. I eventually got it to a good place for everyone, but everyone really does have a preferred level of deceit, and it isn’t easy to cater to a group of 5 with varying levels of expectation

I had a DM once, and they made a weird lake in the middle of the room that we were trying to pass through.

turns out, the lake was full of fish. specifically, herring. more specifically, they were red herring. boy, did we feel stupid after 20 minutes of that nonsense.

it’s reminiscent of the iTunes shuffle at launch. the shuffle was truly random, so with a large enough user base, some people were annoyed that the same artist might get played multiple times in a row. it’s a possibility in true random generations, but it felt wrong, so they fixed it and made rules for shuffle so it seemed more random
