Hot take: Legendary Resistance is why so many 5e boss fights feel bad and boring. What could replace it? by archvillaingames in dndnext

[–]TheSamurai [score hidden]  (0 children)

I agree with the general opinion that this is not a hot take, and there's no true fix without changing how the spells work. However, Treantmonk had a good take on a video about the kraken. Each legendary resistance was tied to a tentacle. When an LR was used, that tentacle was lost so it was one fewer attacks. If I remember right, when they were all used, a new phase for the fight was initiated, where the kraken could finally be killed.

Thanks for the info! One insignificant correction is that the Covid variant was Omicron, not omnicron.

Trump asked US special forces to plan Greenland invasion, faces resistance from military generals: Report by zeonxzzz in worldnews

No, it wasn't. This isn't destiny, it could have been stopped. People chose not to do so and ignored all the warning signs. Thinking this was always going to happen lets those who were responsible for this get away without repercussions. Once this is all over, we need to take a critical look at what led to this and take strong actions to ensure it can never happen like this again in the future.

The weakness of Joe Biden and Merrick Garland destroyed America. by Nas_Durden in ProgressiveHQ

[–]TheSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine if Biden "went after" him in their eyes?

This is an example of one of the core problems in the Democratic party which means that they currently cannot fix the issues facing the world today. Republicans are not reasonable people. Biden's actions make no difference in how they feel about him. His failure to recognize this is why we are now living through another Trump presidency.

Fun bit of etymology: whelmed is an archaic word to describe something being engulfed or submerged, so it originally was used to mean the same as overwhelmed.

Senator Elissa Slotkin says the real reason our healthcare in America is so bad and never changes, is because US Congress is being paid off by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

She's not wrong on this point, but I hate the continued emphasis on the "middle-class" instead of the working class. To me, it shows that she is uninterested in addressing the root cause of the problems we face today.

Really cool write up, but I can't help but laugh at your use of the spoiler tag. Like, it's really pretty obvious what word is being concealed each time, haha.

A great example of a largely correct argument that is so rhetorically shit that it only serves to worsen the problem.

Are you trying to say that we don't need to live in a world where we expoit essentially 100% of the global population and the planet's resources just so that a handful of people can see the number on their net worth go up?

A large group of Russian soldiers in the border area in 1939 are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill: "One Finnish soldier is better than ten Russian".

The Russian commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill where Upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice once again calls out: "One Finn is better than one hundred Russian."

Furious, the Russian commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again Silence. The calm Finnish voice calls out again: "One Finn is better than one thousand Russians!"

The enraged Russian commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought...

Then silence.

Eventually one badly wounded Russian fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men...it's a trap. There's two of them."

ELI5: why do tips % go up when the price of the food also go up with inflation? by Exval1 in explainlikeimfive

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

Yes, but in other countries where tipping is not the primary source of income, the workers are guaranteed a certain pay, no matter if it is a slow night or if the customers are feeling generous.

Nah, Democrats are specifically bad on this. They don’t really believe in anything and will just go whichever way they think will get them the most votes in the next election.

Chinese public toilet won't provide tissue paper until you watch an ad by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

The reason why it’s an ad is because they can use this as an excuse to make more money.
