    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I mean, I'm looking at at least a three hour drive to get anywhere that would have a "cheap" flight. Cheapest flight I can find from the nearby airport is like $1k round trip

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Apparently it's a twelve hour drive to Vancouver, which is about how long it would take to get to Los Angeles. I could think of worse ways to get the medicine I need

    I will say, being a depressed, diabetic trans woman has me on the one side being like "boooooo big pharma" but on the other side like

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It rules* being diabetic because it's damn near impossible to get a hold of diabetes medication because they keep being sold as miracle weight loss drugs so everything I actually need to take to survive are massively expensive and out of stock so people can keep selling magazines. *it does...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Did hell freeze over, or did a ragebait thread actually get derailed into talking about a legitimately interesting discussion about rpg game mechanics?

    The original Harry Kim really doesn't get to get promoted :(

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Every once in a while you see something like this and you just have to go... but how is it a scam? Recently I got a phone call from a local credit union saying that my account had a past due balance and that I needed to go in to the nearest branch ASAP to correct it, the problem of course being...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Can we also talk about how the real, original Miles O'Brien is just straight dead? And he straight gets replaced by a version of him from two and a half hours into a slightly different future? And the writers (through Julian) are just like "Just don't think about it"? Does this never get brought...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    The problem is that the character is still being penalized within the gameplay function of their primary ability. Especially when in 3.5 where your Halfling Barbarian has a worse chance to hit, has a smaller bonus to damage, and has a lower damage die to begin with. And hitting things, really...

    Especially when he otherwise acts completely uncomfortable about the idea of being romantically/sexually connected to either of them in the normal universe. I mean, power/workplace dynamics in relationships has never been treated at all seriously in basically any iteration of Starfleet, so...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    We're almost through the first three seasons of our re-watch (we never made it past season 4 our first try through, mostly because my wife was spoiled on what happens to Jadzia and got so upset she crashed out; she's committed to getting over it this time around). Some scattered thoughts: We...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    The problem of stats and especially stat penalties is a game design one. Saying that Halflings get +2 Dex means you are encouraging players to make specific choices (ie, Halflings makes great Rogues!); while saying that Halflings get -2 Str means you are actively discouraging players from making...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    It's frankly a crime that Dugnutt still isn't in the Hall of Fame

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    My favorite is when you get a million likes from one person in a single thread, and you look and the thread is like three years old. Usually it's due to a necro but sometimes it's just very strange

    Fun fact: they are already the same people. They're also the ones who did the bullying in the first place.
