That's like several months of food. Or years worth of video games. That's so expensive. Even if I was a big fan of the sport, I wouldn't be able to justify spending that.

There's some broken nonsense in conservative world views.

Perhaps chief among them (no pun intended) is the idea that hierarchy is good and natural and inevitable. Flowing from that there's the idea that different rules apply to different people. And the famous "in groups to protect, out groups to bind" thing.

So things like welfare are abhorrent to them. That's messing with the hierarchy! Some people need to be down in the gutter. Without the underclass, then everything falls apart and all their auffering was for nothing, and their sense of self can't handle that.

None of those who watched this man die and did nothing to help him deserve to be just out and about enjoying life.

"Please run the formatter so the checks pass on the PR" is a perfectly fine and polite statement. Some people act like they're being attacked.

I've known some cool unitarians. The org can collect a lot of upper middle class white people, but it's also the first place I really learned about LGBT rights in the 90s (I'm getting old) and other social justice stuff.

Considering how you are behaving here I find it extremely unlikely that you are widely regarded as pleasant. Really. Go read your post again, where you escalated all the way to "go fuck yourself".

Furthermore, your post is foolish.

First, an ad hoc change of rules to benefit the players is fudging. You should talk about it with your table because groups are different, but many people feel strongly about it.

Second of all, in my post I suggested that if players like being able to interrupt big spells, they could either add a house rule to cover that, or change to a system that does it out of the box. And you're blowing up over that?

Third of all, not every table is the same. Some tables would enjoy the wreckage of "wow we really shouldn't have bunched up like that. Well, I think I'm going to roll a rogue next because evasion sounds nice".

Your post is garbage. You're mad at some imaginary "evil GM" story in your head.

My friend spent like 10 hours perfecting parrying to finally clear the dlc boss.

I got a big shield and the antspur rapier. Took about 5 minutes. Poke, poke, poke.

Someone should stop him.

They should also be forced to pay a year's salary to everyone who applied to a ghost job. (That's a job that's not real and they have no intention of filling)

Unemployment lasts a limited time, and this doesn't address the problems with hiring companies dragging their feet or having ghost jobs.

They really just say whatever in pursuit of their goals. Conservatives should not be taken seriously. They're dishonest, cognitive hazards.

AI summary of toilet paper (startrek.website)

This is the bad place.

It's fucking toilet paper. I don't need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.
