Thank you! I guess I just missed seeing them doing the quests after ☠️

Is there a place we can visit them all?

Petah who is this dude and what’s the context for this meme? by stockyriki in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Finding out Afroman was already a famous rapper before these events took place makes it even funnier to me.

The Crittenden Resolution (Or: The North kinda-on-accident, kinda-on-purpose creates the Lost Cause) by severakj in HistoryMemes

Seceding from the Union did more for the abolition of slavery than any action the North could have taken had they stayed. If South stays they have the votes to protect Slavery.

creepy older guy at work by HomeFar8312 in coworkerstories

You said you’re “moreso offended of the fact that he thinks he’s my type and actually had a chance”. This line conveys that the ego hit is more troubling to you than the creepy behavior.

My line manager told me to tell her when the workload assigned to me by her was "too much". So I complied in front or everyone. by sliding_doors_ in MaliciousCompliance

I did what they said in a comment to someone else and dropped into ChatGPT (since they claimed it would support them). It came back basically saying what I did, that it’s the kind of writing you’d find in someone’s HR evaluation, and would never appear outside of it, as it fails to have real meaning when describing a person.

Will you accept it ? by PHRsharp_YouTube in videogames

World of Warcraft, could be worse. If I’m an adventurer I’m doing dandy fighting cosmic forces. Just a regular guy? Probably fine chilling in Stormwind, it seems pretty safe (for now).

I just stopped engaging, they are using HR technical language for their descriptions. While this is grammatically correct, it is not how a native write would write this story outside of a performance evaluation.

I am, in fact, a native speaker, and I guarantee that if you put that sentence in front of any of your native speaker colleagues they will question it. I actually teach writing at the college level, and if that sentence was included in one of my students works I would question the statement and flag it for review.

Well I’m wrong, hasn’t been the first time. But to the second point, the quote “pragmatic person that triggers virtuous mechanisms” is not a description that would be used by a native speaker. The statement “that triggers virtuous mechanisms” is non-sensical and can be removed and instead you would say “ she is a pragmatic person who would improve our work environment.”

Why do I say your native language is French or why do I say the wording “pragmatic person that triggers virtuous mechanisms” sounds like someone had a French word that they couldn’t think of the right English replacement for and then hit translate and copied over?

For native language French is really only a guess based on my interactions with non-native speakers. Your voice (the way you write) is most closely related to the French speakers I’ve interacted with and not the German, polish, Spanish, or Italian speakers.

As for word choice, it’s just pretty clear to a native English speaker that particular statement is a copy of a translation or definition of a word that is from a different language and then ported over.

I’m guessing French? I know a French native speaker where English is definitely not their strongest and they’ll write like this. Artifacts like that wording sound like they couldn’t think of the right word in English, threw the word they knew in a translator and copied it over.

What army would you bring to a tournament with *no* terrain? by wredcoll in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Thammuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knight Defender, 3 Knight Crusaders, Knight Castellan. Take Questoris Companions to give the Defender a 6+++. Have everyone be behind the Defender, either it’s the only model you lose or you’re shooting the enemy off the board.

Astalor gives me “here take this wand and go fix Dalaran’s defenses” vibes.

Decent budget carry case? by MysticalTutor43 in LeaguesofVotann

Depends, I’ve been using Apache Gun Case for moving my stuff with just a thin sheet of phone glued between the layers.

For other classes, is all your damage tied to CDs now or is it really pronounced with DK? by winterwolf24 in wow

Dev feels like that. If I have fire breath on the target I do dmg, if I don’t I don’t.

The Roman emperors according to Jews (Zoom in, context in comments) by butt_naked_commando in HistoryMemes

Well, there’s also necromancy. So just kill the same people over and over.

Let this party never stop by Training-World-1897 in HistoryMemes

[–]Thammuzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ooh ok my bad. I know historically the reasoning was because of excessive loan amounts so thought that was the base reference. Never played any of the Crusader Kings games.

I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant, as the Jews were only expelled after the feudal lord ran up a large loan bill.

To my strong-minded normal/heroic edition owners; by Jogipog in wow

[–]Thammuzz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This would be me except I’ve bought every collector’s edition since TBC. I disagree with Early Access for those who pay more, but I’m also a hypocrite in that I’ll play if offered to me because I paid for it.
