A Wizard upvotes precisely when he means to.
This is what I tell people who ask for IT help all the time when they say it was working a minute ago. That is in fact how the shift from working to not working tends to go.
As a matter of fact it does say colonel on my uniform.
honestly they're kinda scrungly but I think that gives them a lot of character. I think they're neat
Keep also in mind: for a panic response, all you have to do is kick it off. Once it starts, it's not going to quit easy. All the parts of his brain that are aware or able to discern that it's not real are in the back seat until he can shatter the illusion or get enough breathing room to calm down.
The puzzle also breaks when the lie/truth tellers are the ones who propose the riddle; it should be given by a third party, or ideally simply written down nearby, such as on a sign.
Tragically, it is easier to see things in hindsight and harder to fix them once they're entrenched. Even if you managed to stumble into looking directly at a 50 year problem, if you're only 5 or 10 years into it and things are still pretty good, many people will dismiss your assertions that the 50 year problem exists, or assume that it won't be as bad as you claim. Once 20 or 30 years have passed, you now have people who are full adults who only know life under the conditions of the problem.
A few other bits and bobs could do it. Power Word: Kill, if they have less than 100 total hp. Some monsters, like Shadows, can do damage to your ability scores in addition to regular damage, and since that isn't any type of damage or a condition, there's no immunity, and any stat reduced to 0 kills you. That's tied to their attack, so they'll need to crit for it (crits ignore AC). Ghosts have Horrifying Visage, which can age you to death if you fail a wisdom saving throw.
They've been given a playbook to dismiss and ignore the fascist assertions; so poking a hole in their mental image of him in a way they're unprepared for is smart!
Hank Green was right. we deserve the chewy decimal system. I wanna know where my god damn snacks are, and if they're not where the system says they're supposed to be, then I get to stop looking!
One of the most aggravating lessons of life I've learned was how powerful the ability to just decide to do shit is, and then recognizing that we can't always guarantee we can use it. My advice? Use it whenever possible. Gets easier and better with practice.
Path of Exile, and it looks like he's playing a righteous fire build. Bottom left hand corner is the health globe and flasks, top left is buffs. about half the screen is behind the desktop, but I recognize that UI. On top of that, the left vertical monitor has the passive skill tree pulled up, that's probably a plan/guide for his build.
IMO The perfect description for him is "comedy sniper". Man just feels on the wind the exact spot and moment he wants to take his shot and gets outrageous amounts of funny with minimal time and words.
Depends. It's always been a real problem, but some places get it worse than others. There's been a strong push to get people to wash regularly and wear deodorant at gatherings which is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If you find a convention, tournament, or local game store that is willing to seriously drop the hammer on people over B.O. and general hygiene, it makes a huuuuuuge difference. And, unfortunately, some places can't be bothered. in those environments, the smells get absolutely rancid.
Leprosy is a bacterial infection, so under proper conditions and care, a pet armadillo has nowhere to get it from. Just avoid wild ones which may be carrying the bacteria generationally throughout their population.
The particular issue I have with the second panel is I feel it treats rates of loneliness as the only meaningful factor. Most social issues are everyone's problem to some degree, but different social groups can have different degrees of exposure, harm, readiness, adaptability, etc. There's way more complexity to the issue than fits in a 4 panel comic or these social media comment boxes.
ATTACKED BY TWEES gets me every. single. time.
It's also veeeeeeery obvious which places you haven't painted yet, especially when working with lighter colors like off-whites or beige. I use a similar trick in image editing to catch spots that are unintentionally transparent
We dunno. Nobody comes back from the event horizon of a Tonularity. Not without becomin' a Tony themselves, anyway, and as we have established, Tonies aint no snitches
He either willfully misrepresented or never understood the entire movement, start to finish, and gladly established himself as an opponent and outright *enemy* of it right from the beginning. Attempts by members of said movement to reach out to him to clear up that misunderstanding or open a dialogue have been walled out and removed from his platform. He wants it dead. But that's immaterial now; the drama isn't worth fighting about and whatever damage he did has been overcome. We move on.
He usually just fights with Zazmoze, so it's understandable that Simon is only stocking a bunch of single target spells. Still bad form though- the greatest wizards know how to improvise their way out of situations they are not prepared for.
Corpos simply can't fathom a person would put in a lot of blood sweat and tears because they care about something.
And in case anyone's wondering if the Casinos are an anomaly: nope. He's failed in show business, airline travel, vitamin supplements, restaurants, prepackaged food, BOTTLED FUCKING WATER, and more! Shit you could never believe a man with an (inherited) real estate empire's funding could never possibly fuck up- he has fucked up.
Popping into the NYTimes article, it seems to source the chart to FactSet, a financial data website. Said website may not have had the data mapped to this chart going back farther than 1986. That specific data might not exist, or it could be very hard to find, it is over 4 decades old after all. The 1973 comparison would instead be made from a known single low point which would be easier to find than 6 months of data. Just some educated guessing on my part.
You could probably do Marin Kitagawa from My Dress-Up Darling without changing up too much.
I really wish companies only needed the data for how good treating and paying employees well is for productivity. Sadly, we've had that data in all kinds of different forms for longer than I've been alive. We can only conclude that they're willing to sacrifice that productivity and profit for something else. Something that they can only get by treating people badly. And that it matters to them more than the money.
Signing, unfortunately not - but you can always let other people know about it, stay informed and speak up! The more people who know about it, the more potential signees can get their name down on it.
Alas, voting with your wallet mostly doesn't work, because almost nobody's tracking the 'votes' that aren't yes, and if a product becomes non-profitable, they might just axe it and find something else to do (or shut down the studio). As long as they capture enough of an audience to be profitable, the reasons of non-buyers don't factor in very much, and there are LOTS of competing reasons even if they do pay attention. It can work, but usually only at large scales which is hard to mobilize.
It can go either way; 'abysmal' just means 'very bad' (or very deep, but that doesn't work in this context) so failure rate being abysmal means very high and success rate being abysmal means very low- whichever makes the situation bad in context.
Oh come on now, it can't be that expensive, it's just a bath mat.
