They were, until humans became part of their environment.

The same congress that has threatened government shutdowns and can barely choose a speaker? Wtf, are they mental?

Ever tried to clean a pizza stone? Pretty sure that magical fire is supposed to be hotter than the 400 something degrees my oven gets to in using one.

And it doesn't set off the trap when it comes through, because why?

It's tidally locked to earth. Earth isn't tidally locked to it. Happens slowly due to gravity and differential mass. Relatively stable satellites end up tidally locked given the time. Pretty sure lack of water/liquids/atmosphere hastens the process.

Describing things well, putting some thought into world building and just thinking through responses to player questions doesn't hurt either.

Also, exactly which part of questioning the DM twice and sending a familiar in first was reckless in this scenario?

And don't even tell me 'maybe they scrubbed the room after each time.' Have you ever seen a pizza stone?

Are there marks left behind on the floor from the fire and dead animal? Yeah? So, you're telling me this 30x30 foot stone room with a flame trap has never been set off before? My familiar is the first creature to die in there? Whoever built it never tested it? Because burn marks on surfaces would have been something special about the room... Now, give me back my familiar and DM better.

Wow.... So, Kevin gets done so dirty he doesn't even make the photo, and Stanley is the alien security guard....
TOBY!!!

Remember when people who employed fascist rhetoric, incited riots at Capitols, tried to destroy democracy and kill a sitting Vice President were considered terrorists by everyone and weren't to be negotiated with?
Pepperidge Farms does.

Even then, only in a shortsighted, politically deceptive manner. Taxation driven by sales in a thriving hub with free transit also pads the budget. But, taxes are unpopular and people like sports teams and arena shows and overpriced shitty beverages. They give the bigger dopamine hit.

A few of the best books I've read I just didn't finish because I didn't want that closure on the story.
Plenty of bad books. Didn't finish those either. But, they'd usually get put down sooner and not really thought about, later.

And, they act like stadiums are going to"drive economic" activity instead of creating dead zones in cities.
You know what would guarantee increased economic activity?
People being able to easily get to jobs and shops.

Look up how to quickly disconnect the batteries before you go hunting, so you can do that before you get them home.

How are they supposed to make the unimaginably big number go up ever faster if they're not taking all they can from everyone at once?
It's an optimization problem. Their fiduciary responsibility and raison d'etre is to solve it.

peanut butter

Average forefinger and thumb grasps about 1-1.5 servings of spaghetti. Pasta in general, any shape, 1 pound serves 4-6.

"Pro-life" is the biggest lie ever. They're death cultists who just want more blood to spill for their imaginary blood god.

Honestly, i've always approached this question the reverse of how it's posed here. Pretty much every store brand whatever is just fine.
But, picking a few fancier versions of things as exceptions is nice sometimes.

Lately for me, Kingdom aged organic cheddar and Kerrygold butter have been my indulgences. I don't eat much dairy, so they last me a long time. They're loaded with flavor. And, it's just nice to have a few things that feel special.
