So are the shitty G/O Media masters now just bringing in freelancers on the promise that they can plug their shit for half a post as long as something goes up on the site?  How is this not marked as a fucking ad?

Pain and disappointment should be free.

Yes, IHOP. The chain has launched a special “pizza” pancake in honor of today. Called the Pancizza, it’s essentially a massive pancake with toppings on it.

I’m seeing a lot of garbage here and very little pizza.

My 1996 Ranger with a 3.oL Vulcan engine regularly got 24mpg on long road trips. In town, she did about 19. Loved that truck, had it for 20 years and she never let me down. RIP Yellow Beast.

Oh boy, another person who doesn’t realize that we’ve been spoiled by modern powerplants and that we all accelerate much faster than we used to.

Weird, a lot of F-150 owners are reporting online of higher MPG than the EPA ratings.

“encouraged to join STEM programs”

It means that anyone who says that is a dirty communist

But like, who fixes the gutter and pays the utility bill? The owner, right?

That’s argument is great, until you realize you’ve greatly benefited from the society that was created from that idea.

That didn’t clarify anything. :)

What specifically do you mean by it? What do you think should be owned by individuals and what should not?

That’s why whenever my group sees an old women in some sort of plight, we always follow the old adage:

“Did you parents happen to own a manual transmission car when you were learning to drive?”

Our group had a GM who would always create a GMPC, but instead of being the deus ex machina to fix everything, his character was designed to get the party in trouble and distract them from what they were trying to do. A walking plot complication. And no matter how hard we tried to get rid of that character - leave…

“Let me go back in there and face the peril!”

You know what, i’m gonna kinda defend gold negotiating guy. Far too often players just want to skip negotiating pay, but free lancers in the “real world” will always negotiate their pay and expenses. If the dude had built a character that was fastidious about money and he was playing his character, then it’s on the…

I read that Hell Building story, and it was highly entertaining (if anyone’s on the fence about whether it’s worth the time investment, it is), but I’m always DEEPLY suspicious of these super in-depth post-mortems of games supposedly run years before the story is told. There’s one I’ve read that’s supposed to be about…

I’ve played a character like this before too. His name was Ublala and went to Wizarding School on a football scholarship. Detect Magic was poking something with a stick. Summon Goblin was picking up the goblin he just killed and throwing it at someone. His ultimate was “I cast Fist!”

Pass that shit over here man. You have had enough.
