Same when I got on ocd meds. Love being able to go and do a thing without compulsively making lists of every other tasks that I could be doing.

Economics is just psychology masquerading as a hard science

Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.

Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.

Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn't stop them from going up from another.

Similarly, from an engineer's perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

Especially when you're time constrained.

They could store the families in a separate underwater bunker built on the ruins of a death cult's sunken wizard tower too.

Program management system for the entire division? Excel. "Agile" task tracker? Excel. Requirements manager? Oh no no, that one's written in a word document with no version control. I have trauma. Use tools made for the thing you want to do, please.

Next up, they're going to go scream at the girl scouts on the corner that they're being exploited

The 14th is a reconstruction amendment btw, it wasn't drafted or ratified by the founders.

The room is pitch black, you're relying on dark vision, and you just failed your perception check. I can definitely see this happening outside of bad DM'ing, and I think the PC being sus of a blank room in an otherwise dangerous dungeon could also be in character.

If they were able to meet the actual up/down metrics for the subsidy, I don't see why they shouldn't get it. But they weren't able to do that, so they don't get the subsidy.

I feel like it'd make gift giving more difficult, but more meaningful- you would have to give people actually customized things, something you made or something you think they need that they haven't noticed. Harder, but shows more thought than giving generic-consumer-item#528

I know this is a meme, just made me think

For middle incomes in the NCR in DC or MD it's usually cheaper to get the same thing in VA, on an income tax basis alone.

So simple and so tasty, just started making these recently.

Feel free to remove if this isn't quite a cocktail enough. Thought this was the community of people who'd be most likely to want to give it a try.
