Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

But for everyone else, mash that ignore link and move on. This is a quality of life decision that you're in charge of and being mad at people who, for whatever reason, intend to spend all of their time posting AI-level responses on every pizza forum, is a self-inflicted headache.

You could absolutely take the folks on your list, feed them to an AI, and get a chat bot to replace them.

The first one could practically be replaced by a macro from 1997.

No. It just makes you someone who really, really, ought to go play, and talk about, games you actually like, rather than wallow in your discontent.

Great point.

Except ... maybe that's the way they actually are, and it explains why they aren't playing games.

It's my experience that when people complain about how bad all the games they have played in the past are, there is always one common denominator to their stories of woe.

We have a test case here that suggests that there aren't dozens. There are maybe a handful of people at most.

Sorry, but your numbers are wildly off. I stand behind the dozens figure.

Dozens of people are loudly proclaiming Domino's evil, mostly because it is. Most of them are on my ignore list because they're insufferable despite being right.

Dozens of people are loudly proclaiming Domino's is perfect and beyond reproach. All of them are on my ignore list for being so utterly blinkered.

Smash that ignore button for all of them. There's no point responding to any of them.

Haha you said the quiet part out loud

While I have criticisms, such as with the 2024 phb, I think airing them would just lead to an argument that I really don't care about.

Exactly. Enough people have a zero tolerance policy for even mild criticism that any at all will utterly derail whatever conversation is trying to happen. Makes for a boring echo chamber, but the alternative is worse.

I was at my LGS this weekend to play M:TG and there were some 2024 PHBs in stock, so I thumbed through them. They feel much thicker than the previous book, and I really like a lot of the art.

I am looking forward to this debate!

Handful, or dozens?

I expect that we will get into a full definitional war over "handful" (more than a couple, but less than many?) and I further hope that we get a full rundown of "dozens" in the plural form - does that mean more than two dozen? Is there a limit on the dozens? Does dozens include a baker's dozen?

Does yo mama play the dozens?
