D&D characters are capable of superhuman feats even with standard stats, so I'd estimate mine pretty low.

Your comment made me wonder if there was any such place where you could go and have pizzerias everywhere.

I couldn't find anything like an entire plaza of pizza (though it wouldn't surprise me if that existed somewhere) but I did learn that apparently Buenos Aires has the most pizzerias of any major city in the world. So if there is such a thing as a pepperoni piazza, I'd guess Argentina would be the place to check first.

Shattered by someone...or something.

It makes me sad because this used to be the kind of story one might be able to tell in the US, but no longer.

Happy to see that stories like this can at least still be told somewhere. Wishing Canada all the prosperity it needs and deserves to continue championing the cause of basic human decency.

What makes a pizza a granny pizza?

Good catch. I linked this post in the comments of that other post you linked, and it looks like the moderators have since removed the post entirely.

There was another one linking out to that same site (maybe the other post you saw as well) which I recall had an extremely misleading clickbait-y headline. It also seems to have been removed, so at least mods are staying on top of it.

Does Lemmy have the ability to automatically block/remove posts leading to certain domains? Seems to be a common thread of these accounts trying to promote this one "news" site. Though I don't imagine this sort of thing will stop at one site.

This "news" site appears to be artificially promoted using vote manipulation:

Though Trump started that "nearly a decade" too.

I think it's unfair to say that the US is what dictates the direction and usage of the English language. It contributed, sure, but it's not because of the US that English is so widely-spoken in the first place. We have Britain to thank for that.

If the US ever adopts a second language to use for trade, it will be Spanish, just by virtue of who its neighbors are and how many native Spanish speakers live in the US already.

It's basically a reflection of global power. Before English had that standard in Europe, it was French. We still describe such languages as a "lingua franca" even in contexts where that lingua isn't franca anymore.

Esperanto isn't anyone's native language by design, but it meant that there was no major global power which necessitated its use. So it fell by the wayside, which is why English is spoken around the world instead despite being such a poorly-constructed option.

That's optimistic. The handlers are probably still at (or even orchestrating) the briefings.

Ori is very good.

Would recommend playing Ori and the Blind Forest before Will of the Wisps though, the plot might seem a bit confusing if you don't.

Even then, though, this shit doesn't fly here.

Shouldn't have happened at all, but at least the hotel fired the shitfucker and tried to make this right, while in other parts of the country this behavior would have been celebrated.

Don't know who the heck downvoted you or why, but thanks for the info!

I seriously think it is only a matter of time before ads end up in textbooks issued to schoolchildren.

I can imagine it in the US at least.

Chapter 3: The Indian Removal Act

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed into law on May 28, 1830, by United States President Andrew Jackson. The law, as described by Congress, provided for an exchange of lands with the Indians residing in any of the states or territories, and for their removal west of the river Mississippi. Tribes such as the Cherokee were forcibly removed by the United States government in a march to the west that later became known as the Trail of Tears.

Fuck that is dark, what is this from?

Then why the heck we call them gray matter?
