That one in particular is a bomb waiting to blow. Is this link to a webpage or to a malicious download? Who knows! Guess we'll just have to click on it and see if anything starts downloading.

Using file extensions for your TLD should be a big no-no for a lot of reasons, that being one of them.

Honestly you could probably get away with just "Sarge" as a nickname. Won't help much on official documents but it might make conversation a little more comfortable.

I disagree. I see it that Will is the ability of a particle or system of particles to affect change in the universe around it and alter the course of destiny. If we could know the current state of every particle in the universe, we could accurately predict the future, if nothing was then ever acted upon again. But particles possessing Will can alter their environment and effect a ripple of change that could then mean the entire prediction falls apart.

The next big boss fight after Wallclimber had me hard stuck for about 7 hours until I eventually built a plasma monster, 2x plasma cannons, 2x plasma mortars on heavy legs. I was really sleeping on the AOE DOT damage, those plasma cannons are better than I gave them credit for. Great for clearing trash mobs too, one shot and you're done. They carried me well on my 8 or so runs farming Wallclimber to get enough cash to get all the heavy armor parts I wanted.

The boss in question had a pulse shield that was ruining my day and after countless attempts of taking down the shield with the pulse rifle or sword and then doing fuck all damage afterward, I decided to just run plasma and deal mediocre damage to the shield and decent damage to the healthbar. It worked out fine. Plasma isn't my first go to weapon to break pulse shields but it does the job well enough, better than bullets.

Tl;dr everyone try the plasma rifles if you haven't

Worse: X AE A-XII Musk (only named this because X Æ A-12 was not acceptable to California regulations due to having non-English characters both in the form of numbers and of Æ), and later, another named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk (nicknamed "Y"). Both of these were with Grimes. Both of these are the official names given to these children, that is what is written on their birth certificates.

However, they were also preceded by around 8 other children with different women given much more normal names, so it's unclear how much influence Grimes had on the decision making here. X AE A-XII in particular though I will definitely attribute to Elon because his fixation on the letter X extends back decades at this point.

Incredible, DefinitelyNotBirds coming in with the unprecedented triple down! Unsatisfied with being proven wrong once and being made a fool of once, DefinitelyNotBirds is now making a fool of themselves in order to even the score. Amazing stuff, folks. Tune in for the next round of methposting and see what happens next!

You know, fair enough. Taking the guy at his word given here in that interview, props to him. Generally non-racist pretty wholesome stuff. Granted, I haven't actually listened to his song, but if it's topping charts and I haven't had it forced into my earholes yet I'm confident enough that there isn't anything too egregious in there. I've read that he's had some problematic opinions regarding Jewish folks and been dropped from some networks for it but I haven't seen those myself. Oliver Anthony, I may owe you an apology for calling you a racist, so I'm sorry about that. Now just don't make me regret apologizing.

God, they're so close to almost having a clue what's going on. The class consciousness is right there, it's just within reach. I would almost fully agree with this guy if he wasn't such a tool and a racist.

If only the R's were capable of observing information that wasn't packaged and fed to them as propaganda we might be on the cusp of a grand change here. Frankly, we're pretty close to being on the same page. We all know the government is corrupt and our money isn't worth anything. I'm just personally not on board with letting the christofascists destroy what's left of the crumbling infrastructure and then call for the literal imprisonment and execution of LGBT folks in the name of "freedom".

But God, they're so close. The truth is within grasp.

"I act and speak exactly just like this other group, but I'm sick and fucking tired of people assuming I'm one of them! I walk like a duck and I quack like a duck but it should be obvious that I'm not a duck!"

New? Rasputin would like a word.

Oh fuck yeah, funny turtle man dropped a new video? Brb, going to watch this and then question my entire existence for the 64th time

Animated undead, with a few very rare exceptions, don't contain the original soul or any of its knowledge. So no they wouldn't be able to tell you anything, unless you were conversing with something like a lich or a death knight.

As far as I know you also can't charm a corpse, or a disembodied spirit. You get the answers that you get. So if you're planning on killing a guy and questioning him afterward, make sure he doesn't know you're the one responsible.

Luckily the spell text of Speak With Dead states that if the corpse doesn't like you then it doesn't have to tell you shit. They're usually not too keen on having a pleasant conversation with their murderer. The party gets up to five questions to ask but the answer to all five of those questions could just be "Fuck you, I'm dead" and that's totally legal.

Brother I fix cars for a living. It's literally not my job to investigate and I couldn't if I wanted to. We have people for that. It's long past time to hold them accountable.

You mean you peel your pizza before you eat it?

My ex girlfriend's mother once started a fight about this at the Thanksgiving dinner table. I don't know how many of them are out there, but they definitely exist.

Am millennial. I was taught not to believe anything that anyone said on the internet anywhere and to never tell anyone online a single detail about your irl life, and I had to learn how to figure stuff out myself when my parents weren't watching. It's a skill that can be learned, it isn't inherent to millennials, though granted we all had a lot more fucking about to do with our devices in our time so it makes sense that most of us picked it up.

Nowadays my parents readily believe all the crazy shit people write on the internet about politics and suffer from identity theft because they give their data to just anybody, and kids don't know what a file explorer is or how to read an error message without instinctually shitting their pants. What the fuck happened?

I feel like for a brief, beautiful span of like 5 years between 1998-2003 everyone was all mostly on the same page with tech stuff, and then we got left behind in the valley of sanity while the two generations adjacent to us melted their brains. But I was less than 10 years old during that mythical time so what the fuck do I know, I was mostly busy playing Donkey Kong and learning times tables.

If your net worth breaks a billion dollars, you will garner this sort of criticism nearly no matter what you do with it. Bill Gates, at least recently, has been just about as close as you can be to a model philanthropist, and people still spit on his name regularly.

A few things that help though, would be A) paying workers higher than the federally mandated minimum amount that you can legally pay them without running afoul of labor laws, B) Reinvesting profit back into the company instead of paying yourself a gorillion dollar yearly bonus while the rest of the employees get a 2.5% cost of living raise, and C) donating to charitable causes or human rights groups.

But some CEO's (I won't say many, but definitely some) do all of these things and still come under public fire. Realistically, if you actually manage to hoard enough money to become a billionaire, you've already abandoned your morals. No human being needs that much money. By all means profit from your innovations and rake in enough to live a comfortable life off them, but when your take home pay for a month is 12x what your next best paid employee makes in a year, you're a motherfucker. Doubly so, when said employee is the one with boots on the ground and all the CEO is doing is signing papers and looking pretty for the shareholders.

In my opinion, there should never, ever ever, be a discrepancy of more than 5x the amount your lowest paid employee makes. If you're paying people 25k a year to do the work that runs your business, the guy at the top of the chain of command shouldn't make more than 125k. If you pay your guys 100k a year, sure, take home 500k a year if you've got the profits. Live comfortably. But when a company makes record breaking profits, turns around and cans half their staff, then pays the bigwigs a million dollar bonus while everyone else gets next to nothing, yeah, fuck you, fuck your product, and fuck your shareholders. If you look around there's been quite a lot of that going on recently.

I guess my point is, the act of dishonestly hoarding the money in the first place is what makes us hate the rich. If you made that money fair and square and you deserve it, man, more power to you. I don't think anyone is upset with Dolly Parton even though she's worth an estimated 650 million US dollars, because she sweat and bled for that money and hasn't taken to lording it over everyone else just because she can. Bezos invented a website and then rode it's coattails into the realm of the obscenely rich without hardly ever lifting another finger for it. So did Musk. And the better-than-thou attitude they get about it makes it so much worse.

Not all the rich are bad people, but for the most part, good people don't become rich. Not like that. It takes a certain amount of gleefully taking advantage of your fellow humans to get there. That remorseless exploitation is what we hate.

You're gonna need about 30 of those giant D6's if you want to actually make an attack roll.

It definitely was. The Vietnamese kicked our asses but that's because they knew how to use their terrain to their advantage. America had not fought a true guerilla war before that time and especially not one on enemy territory.

But Joe Podunk and his huntin' guns are not going to be holed up in a foxhole surrounded by punji sticks for two weeks. Special forces would just drop a missile on his F-150 and call it a day.

Realistically the only way an American rebellion doesn't get crushed within minutes of forming is if the armed forces fracture and it blooms into a federal civil war. Then all of us are well and truly fucked much more than we are now.
