The absolute worst people are being emboldened-- and normalized-- in every sphere of life in the last several months, it seems.

I say "arrive at", speaking as an American. Only time I've heard "arrive to" was among students of English language, fairly early in their studies. Preposition errors are a pretty common sticking point. If you only hear it online, it might just mean whoever is writing it is not a native English...

Now I'm trying to imagine what some online nutball's allcaps ranting would look like in uppest case. Just thinking about it makes my e-ears bleed.

Just yesterday, I saw that film for the first time ever. The way the little girls just yell at everything with happy, reckless abandon made me chuckle. Lots of sorely needed warm fuzzies.

"creativity-adjacent" 🤣 Although... May as well point out the non-satire kerfuffle that hit the news recently: https://futurism.com/fantasy-novel-ai-prompt-copy-style

My current hat is a shapeless, faded blue bucket hat with a wide-ish brim and a hole in side. It keeps the sun off my neck and out of my eyes. I've had it for seven years, which is the longest I've managed to hang on to a hat. When i was younger, they tended to go missing on travels, presumably...

Aww. It's like infernal acne.

What a mess. I've really been hoping this would sort out in a good way. I'm not interested in CSIO, but I wanted to feel okay about getting the Caverns of Thracia OAR when it gets into shops. However, reconciling my desire to support Jennell Jaquays' legacy versus propping up this guy doesn't...

"The Super Strawberry Cheddar Cheese Three Wolf Moon is Almost Here: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!" I mean, how do I get by in life without that??

So I don't actually misread it, but whenever i see the title of that thread, my brain tries to morph it into a famous lyric... "Fireball and lightning, chromatic orb is frightening me! / Galileo galileo galileo figaro. . . ." ...or something. And then i spend the next hour trying to get that...

Not long, less than a year. I started with basic D&D in 1983, and becm stayed my main thing til end of high school. But in my first few years, we also played some James Bond, Star Frontiers, Marvel, Indiana Jones, maybe a couple others. Plus some of us were big into Star Fleet Battles, so we...

A lot of pop science articles (and even researcher PRs) are notoriously bad about sensationalist headlines and overstating the importance of results, no thanks to our click-hungry online media environment. Anyway, here's a few non-paywalled articles that go into a little more in depth on that...

Just a little OT quibble, but... That 99.7% number applies to the certainty that astronomers have detected a particular pair of molecules in that world's atmosphere, not that life exists there. Where those molecules come from* is an open question not addressed by that research. * Life is a...

pecan . . . baklava . . . ? . . .

Only if the baguette is really, really stale, i think?

.... But if I assaulted someone with a baguette, I'd get deported, right?

Fate Accelerated uses "Approaches" that, in that system, serve sort of like the Abilities in D&D and modify a character's actions. (Except they're about "how" a PC does something rather than what specifically they do.) Those might serve as starting point for your personalities: Careful, Clever...
