The best sport and I’m not being facetious. Chess boxing is incredible

I love squab

He doesn’t just want them dead, the rich want us dead. Make no mistake, they believe AI was the turning point they needed* to finally no longer have need of the labor of the poor. And they believe the culling of the poor is the best thing they can do to combat climate change (without any personal sacrifice, of course).

*And no, the fact that AI isn’t remotely the miracle they believe it is does not matter because they believe it is even though they’re wrong. And yes, the rich do believe in climate change, even as they deny it to our faces.

Yes. The goal of this administration is and always has been to hurt America at the behest of foreign interests. We have got to stop acting surprised when the people who want to hurt America, in fact, hurt America.

Fr this. Like do you people really want to have to sit through every ounce of tedium in your media? Let the writers have their shorthands, please.

Glad to help! I wasn’t kidding when I said I basically always enjoy getting to talk about music 😅

I’m about to go on a trip so I only have a brief moment to answer this, I’m sorry, but here are some quick picks without having more context to go on:

fairly obvious:

1979 by Smashing Pumpkins

Ain’t It Fun by Paramore

Raspberry Beret by Prince

Meant to Live by Switchfoot

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean

Stop by the Spice Girls

Super Bass by Nicki Minaj

I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness

Here It Goes Again by OK Go

Electric Feel by MGMT

less obvious:

Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash

All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo

Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks

Maniac by Conan Gray

Closer by Tegan and Sara

I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc

Disco Man by Remi Wolf

Them Changes by Thundercat

Cocoa Butter Kisses by Chance the Rapper

Swing Life Away by Rise Against.

I tried to not give you anything too obscure, but if these are too obvious or if you have a theme or direction to narrow the field I can think on it more and get back to you in a few days, probably.

edit:

I didn’t think too much about the first 10 seconds part admittedly again due to limited time, so some of these may be better to play 10 seconds a later section of the song if you’re open to that.

Yes, reddit admins are famously shit and famously have the most skewed priorities in history, but that still doesn’t make this cherry-picked example a good representation of reddit as a whole.

Painting the whole of reddit based on the actions of a single non-admin moderator on a religious subreddit of all things feels dishonest as hell, tbh.

I actually teach the kids in my life that intent is more important than “magic naughty words,” so they can say bitch all they want so long as they aren’t being hateful. So maybe starting from the assumption that the status quo is reasonable and has merit isn’t the smartest idea?

Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel are two of my favorite games which I’m almost always down to replay.

Borderlands 3 has solid enough gameplay, but absolutely shit all over the storyline and characters.

What purpose does holding those we imbue with power to higher standards serve? Look around at what the fuck happens when we don’t and ask yourself that question again.

And it shouldn’t exist for the regular citizen. But those we imbue with power should be held to a higher standard. There should absolutely be harsher, even stark penalties for those that abuse the power we imbue them with.

But “made up” doesn’t imply unbelievable, just not real in the specific instance. While based on very believable interaction, it’s pretty likely this specific interaction is indeed made up

Duolingo wants you to meme their stupid bird.

Please stop doing free work for corporations.

Fuck Duolingo specifically, as well.

Sounds like they’re actually similar to archetypes and I’m just dumb, tbh, but basically in 3.0+ D&D there were classes you could multiple class into without multiple penalty if your character met specific qualifications (different for each prestige class, usually ability score minimum and knowledge of a feat, spell, or spell level, but sometimes specific race or language or whatever). These classes were usually much more specialized and specific than the general core classes, but also gave your character great powers and flair in that specific niche. Or at least that’s the idea when they were well-implemented, which was not always the case, and prestige bloat is often cited as one of the worst parts of 3.0+ as nearly every single sourcebook would include at least a couple new ones (but I never saw this a problem, personally).

I’m not either, I just don’t think prestige classes were the failure. Yes, later prestige were one way power creep and bloat happened, but they aren’t inherent to the state.

That being said, I must admit I’ve only dabbled in PF1 very briefly, so I guess I need to ask for clarity - are archetypes different than subclasses? It was my understand (again, from very far outside) that that was just what PF2 was calling subclasses, and if so, that’s a very different thing than a prestige class in my mind. A part of the appeal of prestige classes to me is worldbuilding groups built of a prestige classes made up of many different classes; I love that Arcane Trickster might have wizard levels, or sorcerer levels, or bard levels, etc… So maybe I’m just out of the loop here - are archetypes class specific or they actually the PF2 class-agnostic viable replacement for prestige and I really should give PF2 a look?

Hey, whatever makes you feel superior

Imo bloat and power creep were the problem, not prestige classes. I still love prestige classes and 3/3.5 overall.
