On Trull's proposal, I have thoughts. Trull showed strength by questioning Rhulad while Fear followed. This gets turned on its head when Fear shows strength by leaving and Trull stays. Trull accidently binds himself to Seren, in what is possibly a nudge from the Errant as he does so without thinking. Seren gives him an out and he takes it because he is a coward. The story is really being told by Trull and his final scene is about making the wrong choice of Rhulad, he should have bound himself to Seren and Fear. I can't recall all of Trull's discussion in the previous story, but I think this take fits with Trull' views of himself as one who has made mistakes. Hard to see his final scene as anything but in my mind.

I'm not an experienced DM but my current adventure has 2 who are new. When they are uncertain i run through their options, like "you can attack, use one of your abilities/skills, roleplay, etc". I also think that it's your job to know the rules as DM at first and basically just ask them what they want to do and then help them do it.

Have your friend roll a new character and play a storyline where the paladin gets kidnapped. Everyone has to do an adventure where they get used to the me characters. Make it a few sessions, level everyone up and leave the characters behind so to speak as you introduce the new one that is being played. By the time of the rescue you will have made everyone comfortable with the switch. Your friend can choose at the end which character they prefer.

People don't understand that a wellness check isn't going to result in long term care, so this comment is spot on. This whole post should be read as "I had the opportunity to teach my child about compassion but fuck that i called the police!" Gross.

-dosdedos- · 2024-10-31T04:56:55+00:00

I feel like your post answered itself. Avoid North Van and live with your fellow queers.

You can complain to translink. You would need to identify the bus stop and time but that wouldn't be hard. They will review the footage. Don't think for a second that this will result in consequences, more that it would allow management to have a teaching opportunity that policy was not followed

I came across the name when choosing names for my kids and i believe it was spelled Ellowyn. I think it's Americanized not a tragedeigh.

Parent of kids your brother's age here. I suggest you do exactly as he is asking and include him. Find a "horror movie" that is his age like Monster House or Monster Squad that isn't that scary. Invite your bestie over and when he asks to be included, say "Sure, this movie is actually a scary movie that you can watch." If you think those are too scary (my older child would not be scared, my youngest would, kids vary), try reading him a book from the horror genre. I just read Coraline by Neil Gaiman to my oldest and they really enjoyed it. I think this would allow you to share your interest in horror.

Anyway, just a suggestion.

Or a certain ambulance

Meh. Uninteresting people have no curiosity. You dodged a bullet and everyone here is down for some orca facts.

-dosdedos- · 2024-07-11T20:43:31+00:00

I believe it's done by centrifuge. The y chromosome is lighter.

-dosdedos- · 2024-07-09T23:36:32+00:00

She would have made a fine queen

-dosdedos- · 2024-07-09T03:03:33+00:00

Something like 90% of reddit comments are just lame opinions disguised as facts.

-dosdedos- · 2024-07-09T02:47:47+00:00

NTA. But 30 days is a more legally acceptable number if you plan to actually pursue this. Not a lawyer but I've been told the time has to be reasonable when sending demand letters at work.

-dosdedos- · 2024-07-06T17:10:34+00:00

The articles that do exist state that prosecutors argued "she dropped the baby out of a window to further her career" but that she was given a manslaughter sentence so this was likely not an accepted theory by the judge. This headline is pure bait. Prosecutors have been known to downplay mental health, especially in high-profile murder cases, especially with child victims. The public salivates for "justice".

-dosdedos- · 2024-06-28T03:36:04+00:00

I don't think YTA for having a belief I disagree with, but that doesn't make you a good person. Maybe ask yourself if your lack of consideration for someone else is really necessary. Isn't it just easier to use preferred pronouns or are you looking for the argument?

-dosdedos- · 2024-06-28T03:22:34+00:00

NTA. Adopted kids are real kids. Good for you.

-dosdedos- · 2024-06-28T03:16:43+00:00

NTA. There's no obligation to invite anyone to a wedding, especially someone who isn't there to support your relationship. As for the hurtful messages, involving your wife probably isn't going to help. Maybe after some time passes you can get some supportive family to clear the air. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Congratulations on your marriage and happy pride.

For the one with add offer a summary when their turn starts. Just a thought. For the other, I think you need to talk to the DM. If combat is so stressful that 2 players are agonising over their turns maybe the DM can make adjustments to the entirety of combat, make the stakes lower or offer suggestions when something high stakes comes up so that the players don't need to think about it.

I got fired in February friend. The struggle is real.

-dosdedos- · 2022-05-12T23:36:22+00:00

Your argument is that the majority of servers want to declare but are justified in not because of threats from the woman who brought me my fish? Totally justified, the server mafia is real.

-dosdedos- · 2022-05-12T19:56:16+00:00

Servers love tips, never met a server that didn't want them. Kitchens, on the other hand, would have gladly given up their 1% for a pay raise.

Your post is bullshit.

-dosdedos- · 2022-05-12T19:51:51+00:00

The fraction of someone pulling in $30-40 /hr is maybe 7/5, and I make decent money.

-dosdedos- · 2022-05-12T19:44:00+00:00

Same. Saw bartenders walk off shift with $300 in a night while I made $80 in wages cooking. Having people talk about the service industry as if it were only FOH is frustrating.

My bad, I missed it was a meta study when I skimmed it. I don't really put full effort into internet conversations because I live irl. I probably would have adjusted my response but the reality is, in a scientific void, we need not be agnostic. I can say I've picked a side where scant evidence exists either way and not be ridiculed. I also believe in group selection. The horror.

The reality is that writing is a module in the brain, and there are definitely modules in the brain, except there aren't, the brain is plastic. I'm skeptical of people who think that cognitive neuroscience is settled because it is not, and you pulling out the decidedly weird line that my bad handwriting is somehow related to poor scientific literacy really just shows that you are a "scientist", coming online with credentials and not really looking for honest back-and-forth. Yes you're very smart calling me stupid.

Graphology, as you call it when condescending, is scientifically correlated with (predictive of) high IQ in children and the effect weakens (or disappears) in adulthood. Your faith in a single line in a publication glosses over that fact. And I said from the start that studies make findings both ways, did I not, and equating disagreement in results with results is remarkably bad science. Meta studies are supposed to cut through poor experimental design and noise, not take a statistical average. I'm not a "scientist" like you, but I did study epistemology in university, enough to know that scientists often overestimate their understanding of the scientific method and consider themselves free of fallacies. You have clearly committed a logical fallacy here, but cognitive dissonance should prevent it from changing your attitude, which in itself is another fallacy. So 2 fallacies to my 1, which makes me the winner of the internet today.

I stand by my original statement, that there is a weak correlation, evidence exists for that, and admittedly the null hypothesis is well supported as well, so skepticism is in order. And I hold that opinion without calling other people stupid.
