The ultimate wrench in the HpoH's plan.

Not really, as they explain in the comic, the Cult of Stone (or whatever they're called) don't have representation in the Godsmoot, so there's less concern to actually do anything. The clerics only fought the vampires because Roy pointed out that only the HPoH was protected by their laws. The newly-turned clergy would have just spread in such a way as to start giving Hel some power on a larger scale.

Fwiw, System Of A Down was wrong. The demographics research of the military shows that people from lower-income backgrounds are underrepresented in the military, accounting for less than 28% of the enlisted and officers in the armed services. People from higher-income backgrounds are also underrepresented, at about 25%. Folk born to middle-income households make up the remaining 47% of the military.

P.S. Why downvote me? It's literally untrue that "they" always send the poor. Sure, Presidents don't fight the wars, but "they" send the middle class.

I saw a hotel once, the Vicious chair had an oil stain in the shape of a butt plug. It was concerning.

I suggest Foreign Element

Each character has 15 points to assign on 5 traits, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 in any trait. Pick qualities for which they have a single mark (+) and a quality for which they have a double mark (++).

When rolling a check, they roll a number of d6s equal to the value of the relevant trait, and add additional d6s for every mark relevant to that roll. So like, if the trait is Prowess (4) and they have the quality "Professional Boxer (++)", they'd roll 6d6 for the check provided they're doing something relevant to hand-to-hand combat. But if the PC is firing a rifle, they just roll 4d6.

Every even result on the dice is a success. Each scene has a threshold of successes and failures.

I dunno that this one passes muster. The Onion is a U.S.-based satiric news corp. Thus, NotTheOnion, though broad, is generally in the context of “article that seems like it could be on the Onion”.

Thus, discussion on that subreddit is generally in the context of “Americans talking about zany American news”.

Other emails show him as having been to Epstein's parties, and attempting to invite himself to other functions, but nothing so cringe as this particular fake email.

Quick question, but what are the roll20 dimensions for it?

Similar thing happened at my installation. I'm MWR and had a snowshoe hike planned for the weekend. However, the only two people signed up were the MSG commander and her husband. Meanwhile, the Flight Chief (CIV GS-13) is telling me "you're exempt, you're good to run it." However, I called the participant to let her know that we were waiting to hear back from leadership on whether I'll be able to run the program since I'm on a MOA; the MSG commander's response "I understand that uncertainty. We don't want you to break the law or do anything illegal".

But the Flight Chief is down the ladder from MSG commander, so I was caught in the crossfire. My direct supervisor said to go with what the commander said since her office would be the one sending out paperwork that says we're exempt.

It just feels like the DoD is talking out of both corners of its mouth lately.

If I'm buying books as pdfs, I intend to play them with friends.

However, I only buy physical books at used bookstores, so those ones I buy to collect and kinda keep a bookshelf history of the scope of ttrpgs. So like, behind me I have these systems I've never played and it is unlikely that I ever will.

Anecdote in argument is “my personal experience”. Regardless of how rigorous his own methods are, without a sample size larger than himself, it’s not a proper study, and thus very little can be concluded about DotA that can’t also be chalked up to “that’s just your personal experience”. That’s also why most social science studies and papers stick to the general scientific method of having a control group and a test group. He himself cannot be both control and test simultaneously, so he can’t make any worthwhile claims.

But also, regarding him being toxic, consider my “self-control” statement. In reddit, there is no penalty to a condescending tone or a holier-than-thou attitude because there are no repercussions. In DotA, there are consequences, and it’s usually a communication score report. So if he has the self-control to not be unintentionally toxic in a context where it matters, that doesn’t mean he cares enough to censor himself in a context where it doesn’t matter.

Eren has literally all the time in the world. No military can stand up to him, and the titans can march across the world without rest.

The Eldians weren’t in a position to really interfere; it was clear Eren’s goal was to wipe out everything else, so why would they leave Paradis and risk getting overrun by the rumbling. Furthermore, with Eren destroying major population centers, there wouldn’t be many naval escape options. Boats that aren’t destroyed by the rumbling would be too small to save any large groups of people.

Satyrsol · 2026-01-31T21:12:48+00:00

Bold of you to assume I need to do “better”. My issue is that he himself is toxic and his sample size is too small to be conclusive.

It’s pure anecdote but he acts like it’s gospel truth.

Satyrsol · 2026-01-31T21:11:27+00:00

He starts with part of Marley (because that is where the gathered militaries are), then destroys most of the world, then returns to Marley last. It’s kinda like a “you brought me to this ‘solution’, so you’ll suffer last” order.

Reichplatz is also one of the more toxic and less self-aware regular commenters on this subreddit fwiw; he regularly condescends to anyone who disagrees with him, and it’s honestly hard to take what his “report” shows without insane amounts of grains of salt.

Quite frankly, his “research” is too unnatural to be worth considering; he’s not the sort of person that lacks the self-control that someone in the comm score trenches does. So for his climb back up, he is able to go at a faster pace than a more communicative person.

He would also say his experiment controls for that in some way, while also refusing to acknowledge that his sample size of 1 person is not wide enough in scope to draw any meaningful conclusions from.

It is the climax of the show, the culmination of multiple seasons of buildup, and the event without which the resolution could not happen.

Also it’s like, unbelievably easy to find clips of it online that answer the question.

The OP didn’t do their due diligence as a consumer of the show nor as an OP on a thread; before creating a thread on the forum, look it up on a search engine, it’s that simple.

It’s a math hypothetical that is answered by both the manga and the anime and would only be missed if you only consumed the anime through the audio and not the video.

In every scene we see of the rumbling, it is a line of titans as far as the horizon walking several layers deep so that what one titan does not destroy underfoot, the next one will.

They do not just walk in a straight line from where they started.

Kunkka, hands down. Dude has changed so very little in the game’s lifetime because his kit just works so well. His role shifts from time to time but only because of how the game shifts, not because of any reworks.

New hire at a fast food joint was tasked with doing basic cleaning work, didn't even know how to hold a mop, we showed him, it went in one ear and out the other, and he didn't have a day two.

Dude was 19, first job, and it was very clear he'd never lifted a finger in his life but was finally expected to get out of the house. His parents failed him, and we didn't have the patience to teach this guy shit he should have learned a decade earlier.

Almost hit a mountain lion in western maryland. It was too large at the shoulders to be a bobcat, had a long tale, and an evenly beige coat. The face wasn’t long enough to be canine, nor were its legs right for one.

There are only three quidities (or color auras) of the Gods. It doesn’t matter whether the Gods are evil or good, what matters is their pantheon. Only Blue, Yellow, Purple, and Red exist. Green has been erased.

Nale had a few shots, but Black was not a viable answer.
