  • Yes Brave Sir Robin turned about and gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

  • The rules state that you either die or fall unconscious when you have 0 hit points. The definition of "unconscious" in Appendix A specifies that you are incapacitated AND can't move or speak AND are unaware of your surroundings.

    EDIT: Maybe I shouldn't assume you're talking about 5e. I have no idea about 5.5e or any other edition

  • Lol @ the prices written on the spine of the book, in the upper left corner

  • OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS ONE.

    I remember going back and following literally every single possible story path and never making it to the planet Ultima. And then going through page-by-page until I actually found it.

    That's wild, this must have been about 20 years ago. Thanks for reminding me of a childhood memory.

  • Yeah I was really frustrated that she wouldn't answer the damn questions

  • No. At least not in this community. If you follow multiple news communities on Lemmy then you're going to get some overlap, of course.

  • This may be true for married couples who started dating when they were teenagers. Since you brought it up, I'd be curious to see what proportion of the couples in the study fall into that category. I have a hunch that it's a pretty small percentage, though.

    While it's true that there is some stigma against (e.g.) a college freshman or sophomore dating someone who's still in high school, I don't think many people in their right mind would object to a 2-, 3- or even 4-year age gap once both partners are at least 20.

    EDIT to add: I don't think 17-year-olds being afraid to date 15-year-olds even registers on the top ten reasons "why people are increasingly lonely." Your take comes across as very high school-centric.

  • the postage stamp sizes windy into the or of the article

    huh?

  • By "illegal," do you mean the player is not allowed to choose the race for their character? Or do you mean the race is outlawed within the setting, i.e. Orcs would have no legal protections and are persecuted by the law?

  • tl;dr

    The central bank adjusts interest rates and other aspects of monetary policy in order to meet economic goals. However, there's always a lag between any adjustment to monetary policy and the desired effect on the economy.

    Unemployment and inflation are inversely correlated. The more people that are employed, the faster prices rise, and vice versa.

    Right now the Fed is trying to fight out-of-control inflation rates. The methods required to do so will inevitably lead to higher unemployment, and due to the aforementioned lag, there will be a short period of time in which we see higher unemployment and inflation, before we see the desired effect of lowering the inflation rate.

    To note, the author expects an unemployment rate of 0.3% above target and describes it as "minor" stagflation.

  • hmm

    Readers added context

    The edited video, released by Zelenskyy’s office, gives the impression that Graham made those two remarks uninterrupted and sequentially, when they were actually clipped from different parts of the conversation.

  • The full article is absolutely heartbreaking to read. I hope the Yang family finds peace and healing.

  • A constant problem with autotldr is that it uses pronouns which refer to someone who hasn't been mentioned yet in the abridged article. It makes it look like Biden "has encouraged a growing and well-organized conservative backlash" when that makes no sense. In the original article, "He" actually refers to Donald Trump, but autotldr skipped over the sentence that introduced Trump's involvement. Similarly, "That finding" does not refer to the major survey mentioned in the previous sentence.

    Honestly I hate this bot and I downvote it every time I see it. This sort of thing is easy to catch when it says something wildly out of character like this. But the same thing happens all the time in ways that are not-so-easy to spot, and wildly misleading to readers. And the pronoun thing is one tiny example. This bot might as well be selecting sentences at random, for all the important context it omits.

    Just read the original article or skip it. Please don't rely on a program that butchers the original article for the sake of making it shorter. This is the kind of thing that makes us lazy and vulnerable to misinformation.

  • Good. Let's do everything we can to prevent enforcement of these unethical, discriminatory laws.

  • Total Party Kill - i.e. every member of the adventuring party dies.
