Agreed with @Jaesten, that was a big 4th problem.

Ugh, “Chaotic Stupid” characters are the worst. At that point, it’s just up to the DM to say, “No, I don’t care if that’s in character for your character; you are no longer playing that character because it’s making the rest of your party miserable.”

That’s fair enough. I think you’re onto something with fear of rocking the boat. If you already have a small subscriber base, you risk losing your last reliable source of income if you branch out and alienate them — especially since limited reporting resources means doing, say, investigative work comes at the expense…

As a small-town reporter, might I suggest subscribing to your local newspaper? The daily paper I work for is doing great work with a news staff of two (I’m talking actual investigative journalism) but there are some stories we just can’t do to their full potential when we’re a small staff covering an entire county.…

I have that problem in Chrome, but clicking the lil (i) in the corner of the video will take you to the twitter post.

I’m hoping for some kind of angler fish situation, where the males are tiny and latch on like parasites. Just for something different.

It’s way easier to eventually recreate plumbing infrastructure than to come up with an alternative for bees.

Plus, IMO, it balances right on the brink between realism and cartooniness without falling into the the Uncanny Valley. That’s a feat in itself, though presumably not one that can be credited directly to Spielberg.

Maybe not feet, but I can remember many a study hall and sleepover where girls spontaneously started a shoulder massage train.

Back before church-related trauma kinda ruined Christian music for me, I enjoyed early Randy Stonehill. Larry Norman produced his (third, I think) album Welcome to Paradise, which has some real bangers.

This Suffrage Cook Book (1915) has a recipe from Jack London. Yes, that one. It’s also chock-full of Instructive Quotes and has an absolute whiz-bag introduction (written by a man, of course). Some excerpts:

My two love Mr. Vulcanbookworm and I. Mulder, especially, is always ecstatic to greet me after work and in the morning. He likes to put his paws up on my shoulders and groom me while purring at the top of his lungs. (That’s him in the pic, after he forgot to put his tongue away)

I like the Oatmeal Scotchies recipe on the back of the Nestle butterscotch chips bag.

He looks like Cool Guy

If you’re doing stovetop mac, you can get a skillet going with some panko, olive oil, salt and pepper until golden brown. Then, pull off the heat and quickly mix in some grated parm. Sprinkle that crunchy, salty goodness all over your mac’n’cheese, and the rest keeps well in a baggie to go on top of the next day’s…

LW2: Someone telling you that you have to earn their trust back is a huge relationship red flag. Often, abusers will use a minor or even simply perceived breach of trust as an excuse to put controlling, restrictive requirements on their partners — for example, making the partner show them all their communication with…

For the first Hobbit movie: Giant tupperware of “lembas” (simple scones), bag of popcorn, sour gummy bears, giant thermos of hot tea, apples and cheese. The movie was disappointing, but our feast was not.

JKinda like the famed Edo-period He-gassen scroll?

I mean, this is a world where male German soldiers grew a boob on one side from drilling too hard with their guns. Anything’s possible.

That’s totally understandable, and it sucks absolute ass that ex put you through that.
