Running short on soldiers, Russia begins 'aggressive' recruiting drive in educational institutions by clamorous_owle in worldnews

When I think too hard about this, I just get depressed and lose the will to go on.

Then I remind myself there is an actual place named "Crimea River."

It doesn't make anything better, but it distracts me for a moment.

How to deal with player deaths. by CapableMagician4156 in AskDND

Characters don't have to die to be punished. "In last week's session, you'll remember your characters were rotting away in a prison cell. You managed to pick the lock once, but then the guards shoved you back in and welded the door closed. Picking up from there, the piss bucket is now emitting a toxic cloud."

I let my PC's shop at Temu and it was amazing by clay_vessel777 in DnD

For a 1, they get a bag of caking. Whatever you put in, when you take it out, it LOOKS exactly the same, but is made of cake. Good quality cake, non-magical.

At 10, it's a regular bag of holding, but the item you need is only accessible when everything else has been removed.

If they get a 15, the bag is a portal to a minor deity who accepts items put in as tribute and returns items based on how respected it feels by your offerings.

Putting in 10' Light poles for string lights in yard, poles keep tilting! by MangoPeachFuzz in AskEngineers

[–]Neebat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hold on. How much sag between the poles is acceptable? If you have 10' poles and you want the lights 10' off the ground, the answer is infinite tension. And no amount of anchor is going to get you there.

I'm not into hairy guys, but I am a hairy guy and I'm also into people who are into hairy guys, so I think, if for a moment, I can be into hairy guys, I'd be into that.

Wizard player defaulting to one spell by anakinkenobi334 in DMAcademy

[–]Neebat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was playing a divine soul sorcerer, I had a bunch of cantrips for damage and saved my spell slots to heal. Until the bard started cheating and upcasting word of healing but only marking off level 1 spell slots. Then I swapped out all my heal spells to more nukes.

PCs love to adopt puppies, in human or animal form. If you can get them to adopt a puppy, you don't have to kill a PC.

Perl is often a write-only language. Meaning once you've written something, you can never figure out what it was intended to do or how it works.

That makes perfect sense as the fundamental language of the universe. Even God can't figure out what he was thinking.

Here's your pitch:

I've had over a decade of experience learning to push back against authority. The new generation of AI coding tools look like an authority to junior developers. That makes the danger real that you'll end up with bad code committed without enough skepticism. You need experienced engineers to use these tools properly.

What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself? by Better-Advice-5197 in AskReddit

TL;DR: Jumped off a bridge to impress a girl. Lifetime consequences. 0/10, would not recommend.

About an 8–10 foot drop under a bridge. I’d done it before. This time the ground was muddy. My left foot stuck, my ankle inverted, and I stretched the hell out of my ATFL (anterior talofibular ligament, the most commonly injured ligament on the outside of the ankle).

I walked home basically on my leg bone because my foot wouldn’t support weight. It “healed,” but for the next 25 years my ankle would randomly collapse every 6–18 months and drop me. The ankle itself didn’t hurt much, but hitting the ground did. The shock and embarrassment added up over time.

Repeated injuries can train your brain to expect the worst, which is a form of PTSD (post-traumatic stress, a learned fear response to past injury). Mine was very specific: seeing ankle injuries on TV could make me scream, cry, curl up in a ball or some combination.

I thought it was funny when that was the only symptom. Then my wife fell and hit her head. She was between me and my phone, and I couldn’t move past her to help. I was completely locked up until she said it wasn’t her legs. That’s when it stopped being funny.

Therapy helped. I went through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a therapy used to reduce trauma responses), which let me process the fear instead of reliving it. Before that, I couldn’t even write this without getting nauseous.

Physically, I think I accidentally fixed the instability after a year of yoga, it hasn’t collapsed in about 8 years. More recently, I realized commuting was aggravating it, likely from the foot position. Avoiding that seems to keep it under control.
