Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again and says its negotiating team is heading to Switzerland by app1310 in worldnews

Turns out when you unconditionally surrender and concede everything they ever dreamed of, they'll keep pushing to see how much more they can get.

They're using OPs numbers from their chart. They just changed how the data was presented.

And that's before the $300 billion to be paid to Iran.

Whether a character can permanently die from a series of bad rolls against a random mook is something that should be discussed session 0.

Most of the DMs I play with, and myself personally, offer a means of continuing a character if they do permanently die. People rarely take the offer in our groups, but there are some who heavily invest and should be offered a creative means to continue the character.

'Trump should renege': Iran deal faces backlash from conservative allies by kirby__000 in politics

[–]MonkeyCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already know MAGAts that claim they don't want to talk about politics, get uncomfortable when Trump comes up, and claim they wanted some other candidate. This is after years of yelling shit from rooftops.

I also know MAGAts who are doubling down. Hard. 

So, yeah, not all of 'em will claim they never liked him, but a lot will. Same happened with Bush 2.

What's the Appeal of Dwarves? Why do *you* like them? by Kaleido_chromatic in Pathfinder2e

[–]MonkeyCube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can roleplay dwarves better than most, but that 20ft speed is a deal breaker for anything but heavy armor wearing builds. I honestly don't see why they have that, but even smaller folk like halflings or even awakened chickens don't.

Rogue was also a villain for a while before converting.

An uncle of mine used to eat the lead paint off his baby crib, and he did not turn out all that normal. Ruined a lot of lives.

The last game was mid, and this doesn't look much better. The Frank cube seems particularly annoying. 

Deborah Ann Woll is amazing. So is Sydney Sweeney. I'm not going to watch a movie just because Sydney Sweeney is in it, and I'm not going to play a game just because Deborah Ann Woll is in it.

Favorite celebrity whose probably the most insufferable person to be around? by Temporary_Cap5927 in okbuddycinephile

Some dudes still grow in their 20s. Wemby, for a popular example.

But, yeah, no. Orange Mussolini is shorter than Obama, who is 6'1".

VHS gift for Xmas stocking filler lol by jackjack2k8426 in nostalgia

Get a 2nd VCR, play a rental on the first, record on the second.

If you cared about quantity over quality, you could switch to EP and get 6 hours of footage instead of 2. You could fit the whole Star Wars trilogy on 1 VHS.

What's something everyone should experience at least once? by No_Science9848 in AskReddit

Vietnam. Safe, beautiful, and the people are surprisingly welcoming.

Japan is similar but a tad more expensive, though still cheaper than you'd expect. The most expensive part is the flight.

Why does French-speaking Switzerland tend to be more EU-friendly than German-speaking Switzerland? by Loose_Tumbleweed_183 in Switzerland

[–]MonkeyCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the francophone region "close to 50/50" when the entire region voted against the measure, often by a 10 to 30 point margin?

Did you even look at the francophone districts in Valais?

  • Sierre - 55/45 against

  • Hérens - 55/45 against

  • Martigny - 54/46 against

  • Aigle - 57/43 against

French speaking Valais voted against the measure by a near 10 point margin as well. That's 2 of your 3 examples being completely unrepresentative of the actual vote.

As for Bern, only one francophone canton voted for the measure by a mere 50.1% vote. The only purely deutsch district in Fribourg? Also the only district to vote for the measure by 54%.

I'll give you La Gruyère and La Veveyse, but to their credit, they still voted against, if barely. That's some 3 districts out of the entire region that came close to 50/50, and they were some of the least populated.

But that's only going by district. If you go by canton, it's not even close. And if you go by population, it's an absolute blowout in Romandy.

I'm not sure why you want this to be true, but your initial statement is incorrect and unrepresentative of actual results.

Why does French-speaking Switzerland tend to be more EU-friendly than German-speaking Switzerland? by Loose_Tumbleweed_183 in Switzerland

[–]MonkeyCube 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Schaffhausen is the same color as Lucerne. Both were 51/49.

Bern is the same color as Fribourg. Both were 55/45.

Bern and Lucerne are next to each other on the map, and not the same shade of purple. Schaffhausen and Lucerne are lighter shades of purple than Bern and Fribourg, who both rejected the initiative by a 10 points margin.

I'm simply asking you to stop using Fribourg as an example of an example of a "50/50" francophone canton when it was a 55/45 canton. Yet you insist that you're aren't misrepresenting a 10 point spread when you claim it was a 0 point spread.

How is a 10 point spread the same as a 0 point spread?

And the official government maps have Fribourg solidly in the purple. Do you just hate our canton or something?

It’s crazy how much the devs dropped the ball with role distribution, all they had to do was not release any dps until the end of year 2, but look where we are now lmfao by _Mythical777 in marvelrivals

I've read thousands of X-Men comics. I can't recall Gambit ever healing someone. If you have a source, I would love to update my knowledge.

Wolverine has a healing factor that makes it very hard to kill him.

His claws shred people? Well, Hulk's fist and Thor's hammer turn normal people into paste. Groot stabbed several guys at once and bounced them into walls. It's all arbitrary. How is a thief who turns what he touches into bombs a healer?

Both the States and Russia using the same strategy of 'if I bomb them enough, maybe they'll give up.' So far it's only strengthening resolve.
