I’d laugh if it’s a “congrats, you made it through, now go do whatever you want, reality is infinite so it’s all there somewhere” and the religious ones pick the lamest afterlife where they just sit around singing and not sinning, following a god that they fully believe is jealous, arbitrary, judgemental, and authoritative. But he loves you and proved it by making his own son one of you and then making him get horribly murdered, which, by a technicality, means that you’re no longer doomed because one time a woman wanted knowledge even though she was told she can’t have it!

How would an oppressed people even have a chance of overthrowing rulers who could read and control their minds?

Nude wrestling.

Though, based on some research I’ve done, nude wrestling is hottest when they start clothed but need to remove the clothes from their opponent as part of the match.

The charged ones would likely have little trouble finding their counterparts. Especially the positrons, maybe electron shells would prevent anti-protons from getting to protons.

I’m curious how stable anti-neutrons are in a matter world (and how free neutrons behave, for that matter). Does anything stop them from just joining the first atom they happen to get close enough to? And how long before they get close enough to an atom if they do, in say Earth’s atmosphere?

DM: “So you’ve all been traveling for several weeks, anything you want to add about what you’ve been doing on the way?”

Player: “Uh, I spot check?”

DM, sighs, “Okay, roll for it.”

Player rolls an 18.

DM: “Along the way you notice the hidden chest and find a latrine shovel. Anything else you’re doing?”

Insert 5 minute argument that it should just be a normal shovel and therefore it shouldn’t be limited to just digging latrines.

DM: “Now that that’s settled, you can add your normal shovel that isn’t a latrine shovel but can still be used to dig latrines to your inventory and answer the question if there’s anything else you did, or maybe dug and then filled with something other than the dirt you just dug from it before filling it with the dirt you dug from it?”

Player: “Oh, I know! I listen! Uh I rolled a 6 :(”

DM: “You don’t hear anything and you all die from burst bladders and ruptured colons!”

Insert 5 minute argument about which one, since it was unlikely that each of their bladders and colons burst simultaneously.

frezik claims “only Siths deal in absolutes”

Statement itself is an absolute

Therefore frezik must be lying, mistaken, or Sith. Or exaggerating. Or quoting. Or this whole thing is just a hallucination.

I think that covers all cases. At least the most common ones.

Call him, “Sir John Lennon, officially knighted by Queen Victoria in 1988”, or “88” for short.

I’d think most animals would have developed the ability to see that illusion because it’s not based on seeing squares but on identifying something that is partially occluded, or at least identifying that it is all part of the same thing. If some grass or branches between you and another animal means you can’t see that there’s an animal behind it, you’re going to be at a severe disadvantage whether you’re trying to eat that animal or it’s trying to eat you. I’d guess that capability evolved before mammals.

Though could “Eldritch horror” mean “something horrifying to the Eldritch” rather than “a horror that is Eldritch”?

Though I’ve never read Lovecraft, so I don’t know the full context of how he uses the term.

Makes me wonder how many kitten’s first pounces coincide with a heart attack in their target and result in a kitten that thinks it’s very powerful and could kill a human if it chooses to pounce again.

Potato famine is a misnomer because they were producing more than enough food the whole time, but the British cared more about taxes and landlord rights than whether the people were starving.

Yeah does this mean Brazil is less corrupt than the US?

Shit if the left could recruit emus, it would become unstoppable.

Yeah, that’s true. I should have said “at least” but I thought that things were relatively stable under the Ottomans. Though I suppose “relatively stable” is a pretty low bar with how it’s been since they fell.

Their presence in the Middle East did keep the British out though, at least as far as I know.

Oh that must be the knife missile Robert Evans was advertising for a while on behind the bastards. I was picturing something more like an explosive missile with knives around the explosive.

It’s just a series of “find out” phases in response to the previous ones and has been since like the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

Took me a bit to realize this comment isn’t pro-Israel.

I mean, if someone would abort a baby just because it’s a girl, they are probably better off not having a baby anyways. I don’t get why you think making people have babies when they don’t want them to the point of deliberately ending the pregnancy is a good idea, no matter the reason for wanting to abort.

They are going to need to draft more soldiers if every single status report requires one be sent the the Gulag.
