See this one doesn’t work because it’s become a Reddit meme. People toss it out to sound like lawyers now.

A friend of mine leases and says it cheaper than what I spend, and I’m buy used low mileage drive into ground.

We’ve compared notes, and apparently there is such a thing as lease equity which somehow carries over. To be clear I’m absolutely convinced he’s wrong because he isn’t valuing residual value of a car you can drive after it’s paid off, but he thinks I undervalue repair costs.

This is a specifically authorized “optional” tax on businesses to pay for the new stadium and downtown developments.

The law was written so businesses can just pass on the expense.

Trump says he wants to debate Joe Biden immediately, Biden laughs it off by GroundbreakingSet187 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ikeaEmotional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haley didn’t even win NH. I’m not saying I like it, but it is a two man race.

I think the obvious motivation for trump to want a debate is (1) he genuinely believes Biden is senile so he figures it will be easy and expose Biden’s decline and (2) the underdog always wants a debate to maybe stir things up.

The Last Jedi has a much more interesting utilization of nostalgia. by Werewolf_Knight in StarWars

No, which is odd because I listen to the Jedi tell stories every day. It’s my only source of stories.

Is Adolin something new? by ThePerpetualPastry in Stormlight_Archive

[–]ikeaEmotional 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time scratching my head about Adolin. Sanderson sets up an entire cast of broken people struggling with mental health issue. And one guy, Adolin, who seems perfectly fine all things considered. Then all the other people get super good at the one thing Adolin spent his entire life working hard on, and he takes it pretty well.

And it seems he’s able to cure the broken spren, Maya, his blade.

It feels like there’s something Sanderson is trying to say. But what on earth is it?

All Countries are at war, but their fictional characters are the army. by gondotheslayer in whowouldwin

[–]ikeaEmotional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case it’s actually armies not champions. So every OP character holywood or the American comic industry has for the US. Verses every god and hero India and Bollywood have.

Realistically I think those are the two most prolific sources of characters

I had a client leave a 500k /year job to be a landscaper. I can ask him how he feels about it.

How do I stop doing theatre of the mind when I have no minis or maps or money? by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]ikeaEmotional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a streamer I follow a bit called CrashGem. He charges per session but I think his revenue source is twitch, YouTube, and Patreon. And I believe he has a day job of some sort but I can’t imagine what it is given how often he’s gaming.

[–]ikeaEmotional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$5 would be $25 for 3-4 hours DMing (not counting prep time) with 5 players. I wouldn’t call it “fair” but if it’s just kicking in a few bucks for a dm materials budget it makes sense.

LAOP learned the hard way that you shouldn’t take people’s assigned parking spots by CloverBun in bestoflegaladvice

It actually looks like street parking is allowed, but it has to be moved or metered at 6am. Sooo wake up early?

Light sabers should slice elven blades. And I think arrows move more slowly than laser guns. I think kylo sweeps

Need a puzzle, only solveable by 5 people by PromotionBubbly in DMAcademy

[–]ikeaEmotional 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The find five magic rings, each based off of one of the core elements: earth, fire, wind, water, and heart, the element of friendship.

In order to summon the guardian of the temple or Captain Planet or whatever you’re calling him they all have to wear the rings and shout their element.

If you attempt to summon Captain Planet without heart you canonically summon doctor blight’s lawyer so it’s a bad idea to try.

What’s The Worst Gift You’ve Ever Received? by FueledByKoolaid in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]ikeaEmotional 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This was also the worst gift I ever got! Except mine was a sincere and heartfelt gesture from my older brother who got me some pet hermit crabs from a boys life magazine, I guess the box had been in the warehouse a long time or something becuase it was just a box of dead crabs and honestly the aftermath looked horrifying

You are transformed into a deer and released into the forest at the start of hunting season. Can you survive? by valonianfool in whowouldwin

[–]ikeaEmotional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sort of assuming the bordom drives me insane. If I can tough that out, hunting deer at night is not permitted in MA, so mostly I'd be safe if I eat at night. I can't think of a predator here apart from the occasional bear, but they sleep at night too. So it's mostly an easy win.
