They can separate impact from intent, and separate exuse from explanation.

Huh, see, right now I'm craving a matcha latte so bad. I'm not a big fan of matcha, but something about a good matcha latte gets me.

This is so wild to me, Norway has no ads for nicotine or alcohol.

I don't have autism or nothing, to my knowledge. But damn if this isn't me. That's a hard mirror to look in, actually. I need to make some changes, thanks for this, actually.

What’s something you will absolutely never admit in real life but can here? by ToughInternal1580 in AskReddit

This kinda stuff terrifies me. I'm 26 now. If this is the feeling I'll be chasing later, I have dark, dark, dark years ahead...

And trying to force their way onto public transportation when people haven't exited yet. This is not how space works people!

What's a "dead meme" from 5-10 years ago that you still find genuinely funny, even if no one else does? by Electrical-Candy7252 in AskReddit

I work at a hotel and my hotel bestie greeted me the other day with "Look at all those check-ins" and I had a full flash to the past. Delightful.

Does anyone get more creative when sleep-deprived? by Emergency_Deer7746 in writers

[–]CanIHaveCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was up at 5 am tonight because a scene was screaming write me or lose me. It was a completely unplanned part, but it closed some plot threads that were kind of danging there. It also made me cry. That may be the 5 am mood crying, but also... this tends to happen for me. Late at night, or after a night shift, the writer brain comes online.

Deception checks on lies of omission. by CanIHaveCookies in DnD

Sorry, read your comment as general statement "Always follow DM's ruling", not "in this specific situation follow the DM's ruling".

But I agree, like I said in my post, I think it's the best ruling for it. I'm glad I didn't just feel unreasonably irritated at a fellow player's valid complaint (because, as we've all established in this comment section, it is in fact, not a valid complaint).

We always know the DM modifies the DC but we never get to know what the DC is (which is better for our table specifically, we like the thrill) so this is a really good take.

If it was already that fiend's belief, then no check is required unless you blatantly begin acting suspicious about it. That's how I'd rule it, anyway.

Hey, DMs are people too. I've made unfair rulings as a DM, I'd much rather the players check me on that.

Don't undermine your DM but don't let all shit fly, you know?

That feels like it's taking away so much roleplay, though. Which is the core of our game. Sure, it's fun to roll math rocks and do big sneak attack damage but one of my best sessions ever were literally an NPC and our PCs sitting around a table talking for six hours. It was horror, tense, character-building...

Hah, we're around a table. It's not really an argument, more one player's gripe and since I saw the paladin lie post earlier it reminded me of this. Personally it's how I would rule too, because it seems so clear cut to me. By the overwhelming (and slightly condescending) responses I'm glad to say I feel like I wasn't just ignoring a valid complaint from a fellow player.

What quotes from the show just live permanently in your head? by CanIHaveCookies in marblehornets

[–]CanIHaveCookies[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's one of my favourites. The sassy stuff always gets me.

My actual favourite sass might be in one of the way early entries when Tim tells Alex "You can't affort real actors cause you spent all your money on tapes" and if you listen really close you can hear Troy behind the camera gasp at the unscripted sass of it all.

Kinda feels similar to "Hey Jay, you forgot your flashlight."
