  • For those that don't know

    Step 1: roll up a half orc barbarian
    Step 2: wield a great axe
    Step 3: roll a natural 20 on an attack

    Now you use the three dodecahedrons!

  • Do you know that your body behaves differently when voluntarily being underwater while holding your breath and being held underwater while holding your breath knowing the person isn't going to let you breath again?

    The negative side effects of the latter kick in way before you start to run out of oxygen.

  • Voluntarily having that happen is confusing at best.

    Knowing it is going to happen is terrifying, because the person knows why they are slipping away.

    Like the difference between choosing to be underwater and someone forcing you underwater. The latter is going to feel like drowning immediately because of anticipation.

  • That is what they pretend it is, but sales like that are intended to be FOMO to convince people who were reluctant to buy 'just in case because it is so cheap'. Like not even someone who balks at the price, just someone doesn't want to risk changing their mind later.

    That is how companies entice people to buy things they were not even interested in before the sale.

  • While I am the same way with games, there should be a clear distinction between owning something and access to something with clearly defined limitations.

    Some shows I watch once, but I am rewatching Futurama for probably the 20th time or so. Sometimes it is nice to revisit familiar things.

  • The hypocrisy of conservatives isn't the worst thing they do, but it is the most frequent and annoying.

  • Using logic any practices including hairdsyles that are commonly used by members of a race are covered under racial discrimination, but then what seems obvious to me gets argued against by conservatives with word vomit.

  • In this case, it is because jury nullification was originally used by racists to give white murderers a pass for killing black people.

    Yes, jury nullification can have positive uses, but also terrible ones.

  • In general, no.

    When it supports to defend itself and to drain Russia's military capabilities through attrition, YES.

  • Hard disagree. It is their job, amd while not doing their job could affect me, that does not make it my job.

    If I will get grief because them not doing their job holds me up, then I blame them without any hesitation, because otherwise their job would become my job if I tried to make up for them.

    This assumes people are individually responsible and it is not a group effort where I should be helping them and they will be helping me. Then it is a shared job.

  • So frustrating when the "auto complete" aspect of modern car windows means I cannot easily get the window half way closed or only a crack open. But I must be in the minority on that.

    I love driving with all the windows open about 1/4 or 1/2 open when the weather is nice, and that has included cars I owned and various rentals over the years. All of the cars I have owned or rented for the last couple of decades require pushing hard enough to have a kind of 'click' feeling before it does the automatically all the way open or closed thing. I'm sure some car maker has a setup that makes it easy to trigger the fully open/closed accidentally though.

    Does it not work manually if you only push it slightly on your car?

  • It is cut locally at the point of use by offloading the pollution and energy generation elsewhere. EV battery production as it is currently practiced is terrible, but also very far from where people actually use them.

    They are net positive for sure, but only because of the potential for using less pollution energy generation instead of burning fossil fuels to move.

  • Get some sleep!

  • I think one of the reason many people who struggle with small talk is because they take these conversations at face value.

    The thing that bugs me the most about people is that they can't just say what they want or do the things that clearly convey what they want most of the time. The main approach to social interaction is testing people to find out if other people match whatever they were taught was the 'right' way to do things and then judging the shit out of anyone who slightly strays from that expectation.

  • The worst part is that in the rare cases that the cops might possibly be held accountable beyond qualified immunity, juries also like to give them a pass because they l can relate more to a sad cop's excuse of being afraid more than some corpse that can't speak for themselves.
