Oh yeah. This one is easy actually!

It says:

Our manuals are set to use badtranslator for our translations which we then have OpenAI format.
And we put less effort into the product quality itself.
Someone is keying your car. Go stop them.

Said it before, I'll say it again. Newsom is just Trump but with actual charisma and enough brains to actually hide the crimes.

He's not who you're looking for.

Find someone else.

Hey, if you find it anywhere let me know! I've been trying to show a friend for like 3 years, but the... privatized media site of ethically dubious means i stumbled across it on its long dead.

We could reclaim Elba for it's intended use...

How bad were your neighbors gutters that these guys just pulled up and went "yep! That's the place!" and went straight to work?

Yeah, i also saw some dipshit saying that "the bomb missed its target! The real target was 1/4 Mike Northeast!" or some shit.

You don't "miss" into the same spot twice either.

Yep. We're about to net ourselves some post-WW1-Germany scale reparations and we deserve it.

Not saying it's going to be that bad. I'm saying that's the STARTING point and we'll be lucky if it's not much, much worse.

Dammit. I have to choose ONE?

Then I'm gonna have to go with the BBC Dirk Gently. Because I'm literally the only person I know who is even vaguely aware of is existence.

But Sanctuary gets an honorable mention.

Gonna guess this is about the Claude of the Gaps argument? Pretty sure he blocked me.

By prep here i mean tell her ahead of time you want her to really think about them and bring them to the interview. Dont look at them until then.

Those are the stories she's going to find important to tell.

(Also 5 was an arbitrary number, obvs. Use discretion based on her personality.)

Hmm.. been a whole since I've done one but id start with part of the interview prep being "think of five life lessons that are the most important for you to pass on to your family."

Make the interview about how SHE learned those lessons and why she thinks they were important for her to share.

Look man, gotta recruit that new Robin SOMEHOW and more people are watching for kids getting pulled into b unmarked black vans lately.

Fun fact: the @effinbirds.com guy did a thing for his sweartrek profile on Twitter where he recaptioned the whole TOS episode "Spock's Brain" as "Spock's Dick".

Man. Resistance didnt get nearly the love it deserved. My fave on ps3 is probably Uncharted 3, but this is Def top 10.

GOOD. Bring back ratings that matter! It's ok for a thing to be ok!

"The sequel trilogy? The worst movies ever! Marvel hasn't made a watchable film since Endgame! NuTrek SUCKS!"

Bitch, I'm gonna strap you in a chair and make you watch Meet the Spartans on a loop til you regain some perspective.

Sadly no. I do DEMAND this of him. But I EXPECT him to cave at the slightest pressure. Because that's who he is.

I think they did but were lying about the reason. They were just stuck on hold in customer service hell.

The amount of pacing i do? I believe it.

*sigh*

No. He didnt lie. A lie is saying something you know or believe to be false. He's just an idiot and a piece of shit. He genuinely believes this is what deescalation is. He's just wrong and stupid.

Either way, unfit for office

They do. Unfortunately the ads of that sort that I got were idiocy like entire episodes of Ben Shapiro and Epoch Times bullshit.

Which is why i adblock.

The trick is knowing WHEN to fudge. Not if you should.

I used to be a no fudging hardliner. But learning to fudge WELL undeniably led to players enjoying the game more.

Since then I've learned that the best DMs just dont ask for rolls they might need to fudge and never stat their bosses.

Player trust to tell the story > player trust on rolls.

I prefer to imagine that that really is what is like. The delivery driver is just stopping by on their 10 minute break from battling hordes of ninjas that are out of sight just around the corner...

All pizza guys everywhere are fighting a secret unending, interdimensional war we never see.

Dunno if i can say that ONLY id love it, but ive been kicking around an idea for a kinda prison break style series set in a penal colony that got cut off by the burn. (I was thinking Tantalus, but not sure.)

Probably a combo of good idea of layout if the area, known likely military targets, social media and common sense.

I see something like this, the first thing i do is think "what's over there worth attacking?" And check to see if anyone local is talking about whatever places come to mind.

Wait are we attacking Iraq too? Or typo? Because I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm hoping for typo because shits stupid enough.
