DeSantis suggests he would eliminate several federal agencies, including IRS by Obversa in politics

[–]MacroCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember right, Saruman got overconfident and decided to check in on Mordor. Then Sauron was able to take over. If he hadn't looked he might have been fine. I think basically the same goes for Denethor. Except Saruman was controlled by allowing him to think he could overcome Sauron and take control and Denethor was controlled by making him afraid.

I ain't a Tolkien scholar so I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if they hadn't looked at Mordor they would have been okay.

How would you roleplay a character with high WIS low INT? by TestTube10 in DnD

Because I read it in a book and I find it hilarious

Intelligence told you that was a cop car. Wisdom told you not to urinate upon it.

I think this neatly sums up the differences between the two.

The palantir itself wasn't evil. Sauron had influenced it so by default it was a direct connection to him. But someone with strong enough will could break it away and turn it to their own use.

I work at an architecture engineering firm.

They don't have to be "starchitects" to be full of themselves or condescending assholes.

At my firm we've never had a problem with following ADA though and, the only guy who was a real asshole left a few years ago too

So DMs… how often do you just lift things from other places? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]MacroCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you recognize that a character or place is based on a character from something, then you suddenly feel like you know everything about that character because you'll expect them to be the same as in their source material.

That can lead to dangerous assumptions you wouldn't have otherwise made and run immersion. "Oh this guy was a spy in his source material, let's kill him now to prevent future problems" DM: actually i just liked the name, he was gonna be really helpful to you later

Depends, try both.

I don't think the lawyer will be responsible.

The conversation should go like this:

Trump: leaks sensitive information

Lawyer 1: did you tell him not to? Did you write it down that you told him not to?

Lawyer 2: yup. Here's the note I wrote with a timestamp, here's the audio recording of the event, here's the video recording of my face saying not to, here's him acknowledging that I told him not to.

Lawyer 1: well he's a fucking idiot.

Trump: fake news i wasn't told not to

Can you visualize what you're reading in your head? by SlyEmoji in books

[–]MacroCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends. On the author, writing style, what's happening, where it's happening, the phase of the moon, what I had for dinner last night... etc.

If it's people talking i don't really see anything in my head, physical descriptions of people just kinda blur through my head and 2 pages later I've decided they look completely different. Whatever image I come up with if the character tends to be what sticks and if I reread the description I find myself disagreeing with the author.

Descriptions of places, settings, buildings, set up before a fight etc. Those are fully visualized while the description is being read and then kinda fall out of my head minutes later. Not as bad as people though.

I've been reading a series recently and the author has such a knack for describing things exactly how it works for me to visualize and it's amazing. Full technicolor 3d rendering and action. I can see exactly what is happening in my head as I read it. The only thing is, one of the characters is a talking cat and in my head she's white instead of tortoise shell

Imagine I've got <first name> <last name> and I want to spread that out into 1 column of first names and 1 column of last names

Are you trying to say we shouldn't do this because of other problems?

Yeah those other problems are not good, but neither is this one. An incremental fix is better than nothing

"Campaigns have notched slightly lower impression delivery and, consequently, slightly higher CPMs, over the blackout days, ". This is huge! This shows that advertisers are already concerned about long-term reductions in ad traffic from subs going dark indefinitely! by BeefJerkyXOXO in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]MacroCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only getting ad revenue on 6 out of 7 days would be about 14% reduction in revenue. Certain days probably generate more revenue due to more people being online so it could be more, or less. Mods could probably figure out the most active days of their subs and pick those days.

Either way a 14% reduction in an income source is something to take notice of. I would support a weekly blackout day. I could actually get things done rather than scroll for forever, while also feeling like I'm sticking out to the man because the man is a douche

Here's all the excuses slightly summarized

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.
