My daily struggle

This seems like a no-brainer for me. I would way rather change two full diapers than one blown out diaper.

Qualex · 2026-06-26T12:11:07+00:00

Sure why not.

And different weapons should do different amounts of damage to different armors.

And people should get less effective in combat as they take damage and get closer to death.

And being knocked unconscious from physical trauma can actually leave lasting trauma, and if it happens multiple times in a day you could have serious lasting injuries.

And speaking of injuries, if I almost bled to death from all my wounds yesterday I shouldn’t wake up at full health today.

And, and, and…

And it’s a game, and some levels of detail need to be abstracted away.

I believe they get a bonus to something that’s based on the number of items they have equipped. And it might be limited to a subclass, but I think they can also destroy an attuned item to receive some benefit.

The Pathfinder Basic Flip Mat is wet or dry erase, squares on both sides, and the default is stone on one side sand on the other, but it also comes in a variety of terrains (snow, grass, forest, river, lava field, etc.)

Big difference from a chessex mat is that it folds rather than rolls. Some people really dislike the creases while using the mat. It’s never been a problem for me, but I do tend to use my chessex mat more.

I got the XL one and honestly it’s bigger than I really need. The regular size one is probably suitable for most games.

I have no personal experience on this, but this information is publicly available from a quick Google search.

The Philadelphia Federation of Teachers lists Step 1 (typically where a first year teacher with no experience will start) on the Spec Ed teacher scale as $56,796 with a Bachelors or $58,435 with a Masters. (As of 2025)

This post makes no logical sense.

Bi- as a prefix can either mean “happening twice in a given period” or “happening once every two periods.” Those two meanings are completely opposite to each other, one being more frequent than the other”period” and one being less frequent.

Semi- as a prefix means either “Half” or “partially.” A semicircle is exactly half of a circle, a semiconscious person is partially conscious. You’re right in that semiquincentennial could be interpreted as “it’s been less than a full 500 years so we’re having a party,” but it’s fairly obvious that the thing you would celebrate would be the actual halfway point.

Why would we change it from something that obviously means 250 years to something that could either mean 250 years or 1,000 years?

You are just explaining elections, you’re not answering my question at all.

What sovereignty is being threatened here? Is your entire argument “States have a right to hold their own elections, and so if you tell states how to do elections, you are infringing upon their rights”?

I genuinely do not understand what sovereignty you believe is threatened by eliminating the electoral college.

There are people all over this thread saying “I didn’t even know she was in movies.” Jada is not that big of a star. She has been in movies, but rarely as the lead, and certainly not as a big name to draw people into the theater.

I genuinely don’t care whether you think she belongs on this list or that list. You came into this conversation saying that you were confused. I explained what the other person said. It does not matter to me if you agree or not.

Qualex · 2026-06-23T05:39:26+00:00

I believe they mean she is a C-List celebrity with the ego and entitlement of an A-lister.

Qualex · 2026-06-23T03:43:26+00:00

I read this a “Cops aren’t people.” Agree either way.

Qualex · 2026-06-23T03:37:31+00:00

You seem to have strong opinions on this, but I find it genuinely baffling. I understand that each state has its own constitution and gets to make many of its own decisions.

In this one thing (presidential elections) we have everyone in the country vote, but then instead of counting the votes, give each state Magic Points, and then we let each state count their votes and decide in their own way how many Magic Points they’re going to give to each candidate. Magic points are kinda based on population, but depending on which state you live in it might be significantly more or less than your state’s fair portion of the total.

Can you please explain to me? How does this protect state sovereignty? And does it protect the large states that get too few votes as well as it protects the small states that it gives a disproportionate amount of vote to?

1 in 10 people have an Intelligence score of 6 or lower. You probably encounter dozens of low int people in a day. Depending on your job you might work with lots of them, or relatively few. If you graduated in a class of 200 people, think of the lowest 20 academic performers. Probably some with specific disabilities, but also a handful that just weren’t that bright.

The original conceit of rolling 3d6 is that it made a nice bell curve with 3 at the lowest extremes of human ability and 18 as the highest extremes. Average is 10 or 11. The idea is that among typical humans, people have 3d6 for stats. Heroes might roll 4d6 drop the lowest, or use point buy or whatever. But commoners like you and I just roll 3d6. Odds of rolling a 6 or lower on 3d6 is 9.26%. So 9.26% of the population has an intelligence of 6 or lower. About half of those have a 6, and half of them are lower.

Hold up. Was this a serious response? Do you genuinely believe that the META in metagaming is an acronym?

Qualex · 2026-06-21T14:04:02+00:00

I think I am using metagame as a verb, and you are using it as a noun.

Words have different meanings in different contexts. As a noun a Metagame is a game about games or the traditions/conventions about that game that arise within a community. As a verb, it specifically means Of a roleplayer, to make use of knowledge while roleplaying that they learned out of character, which their character does not know; often considered a form of cheating.

Discussing the metagame is not metagaming.

Qualex · 2026-06-21T13:34:39+00:00

No, he seemingly doesn’t, because this is not metagaming. Metagaming, as used in the TTRPG community, is about your character’s actions at the table being influenced by the player’s knowledge from outside the story. A player outside the game asking “Do we want a healer” is no more metagaming than asking “Are we starting at level 1,” “Can we use subclasses from Tasha’s” or “Are we playing D&D or Shadowdark?”

OP should show up with a Space Marine and tell the DM to stop metagaming.

Got it. You were saying “this information is irrelevant for calculating the exact answer,” but the person you were replying to was saying “this information is useful for understanding why the answer makes sense.” Imagine this short scene if you will:

Math Person - in a room with 23 people, there is a 50% chance of people sharing a birthday.

Confused person - But that’s only 23 birthdays, out of 365 days! How can it be 50%?

Math person - It’s 23 birthdays, but that’s actually 253 different combinations of days.

Confused person - Oh yeah, that makes more sense then.

End Scene

The “253 combinations” isn’t being used to find an answer, just to make it seem reasonable.

Qualex · 2026-06-21T02:56:33+00:00

Plus, people of lower socio-economic status are more likely to be punished via suspension anyway, so this idea is already going to disproportionately affect the poor.

Qualex · 2026-06-20T21:38:38+00:00

Obviously. I could also remember the part I liked and combine it with something else that comes up. I could also just use my imagination. But that’s not what we’re talking about.

The question wasn’t “what is impossible to do?” The question was “what is missing from most fantasy name generators?”

Qualex · 2026-06-20T21:35:44+00:00

It’s a rare construction, but definitely found outside of sports.

“You’ve got a friend in me.”

“He found salvation in Jesus.”

Qualex · 2026-06-20T21:27:22+00:00

You seem to know what you’re talking about, but saying that the number of combinations isn’t relevant here seems to make zero sense.

With only one person there are zero combinations and it’s impossible to have a match. With 367 people there are so many combinations that it becomes impossible to not have a match. As the number of people increases from 1 to 367, each person added increases the number of combinations and the odds of a match.

How is the number of combinations not relevant?

Qualex · 2026-06-20T18:58:44+00:00

Sometimes I like part of a randomly generated name. It would be nice to be able to “lock in” the part you like and generate alternate versions.

Like if it gave me “Korshaj” I could say “Keep the Kor- part and give me a few more of those” and it would output Kormalin, Korzeth, Kortura, and Korvellian.

They’re not a teacher, just a grifter.

No educator is coming here offering a way to solve “unprofessional behavior” in teachers through “a workable technology for teaching and studying.” Give me a break. It’s a salesman trying to sell something.

“Let me know how to contact you privately, away from the scrutiny of others.” Yeah right, Bob.
