I have once warmed my balls.

It matters to sponsors. Big companies pay money to have their name slapped on everything, and then huge amount of marketing to ensure the max audience size means many more eyes in the sponsors crap. The NFL makes a killing on these sponsored events, so they will drive up the engagement wherever they are. And since sports matter to many Americans, this needs to REALLY SUPER matter.

I agree, who cares about teams picking players except for the players?

I am asking this more out of curiosity than criticism, but how would you deal with someone who is emotionally unavailable, shows signs of childhood abuse, but treats you pretty fairly?

I didn't even think they got the humor right. Watching episodes without the laugh track shoes the jokes are just a group of bullies being bullies to each other.

It's kind of a mixed bag question. But the big question is why is there such a huge emphasis on monsters in the first place? There are a ton of monsters in all editions of d&d, so why aren't there monsters discussed in Tolkien by the characters like this? There were a few, and either a large creature from the depths of hell that only struck one place, a giant spider who was content to be in her home and not be bothered by Hobbits, and an army of orc/goblin hybrids. In a d&d game, we are supposed to be attacked by several monsters, all different types, at any given time.

My Linux journey was pre XP, I was still in 98Se edition and my Linux disk didn't have a working GUI on it.

 

I was watching some RPG YouTube, and of course there was talk about Monsters. And with the recent OMG CONTROVERSY with the newest Monster Manual, I got to thinking about something that is more inherent in D&D and in fantasy games in general, why so many monsters? I've played various other games, and read many books, watched many movies, but it seems that fantasy games, with D&D leading the charge, seem to have more monsters than any other medium in the genre, or other genre's in particular. So yeah, why are there so many monsters?

I will put my pan on the stovetop at the highest level and use that to dry. Then I'll wipe a couple of layers of oil with a good paper towel. Usually does the trick if I wash it within an hour or so after cooking. But if it goes in the oven, it is upside down. No oil will pool that way.

I'm from Detroit and our zoo sucks. You would think with how much ticket prices are that it would be better.

By far, one of the best zoos I have ever been to.

When asked, I usually tell people that I vote Dem because it's as close to my anarchist ideals as I can get. I would consider myself a social-anarchist, in that I feel laws shouldn't be written around societal structures and ideals. Society and culture changes, and I shouldn't be punished because some dude generations ago decided that something was inappropriate back then. It isn't now, and shouldn't be codified that way,

Wrong agenda. It doesn't matter who on the political divide is right or wrong, the agenda is the ad money and continued viewership.

Dude, Cheetara from ThunderCats had it going on!

 

I had the thought that the only way to really fight against large corporations and billionaires is to compete against them. Start your own business. Amazon relies on third-party sellers more than anything in their business. So start a business and sell your items there. Don't have anything to sell? People are a creative bunch, make something. Find a local producer of something and make a partnership to sell on an independent web site.

 

I want to start a stream with some of my friends and other players trying to play these games. So I wanted to get a list of them before starting the stream. And they don’t even have to be good.

 

I haven't played since before Wizards started pushing Commander, at that time called EDH. I felt the Standard Format was a perfect setup to keep the game fresh and innovative while still making money, and the Legacy Format was perfect for the people who had cards that are no longer in Standard. I think the Commander Format killed a perfect system, and Wizards/Hasbro are just trying everything to make money and keep the game mostly unplayable with the licensed tie-ins.

 

First time making a pot roast, even after the cat knocked over and shattered the wine bottle overnight. Wife reminded me that we had a bottle in the pantry.

 

I have five.

 
 

Mine is that the Disney+ shows should not have any impact on the movies, that they should just be on their own.

 

Mine is that Discovery should have been a series taking place in the Picard era.

 

Mine is they shouldn't have made the sequel series without George as a consultant.

 

Actually, I watched two episodes. Once I got past the cut-corners animation, bad character development, the writing and dialog was just the worst ever. I thought I would watch through all the episodes and then pass judgement, but I barely made it through the second episode when the thing hatched out of it's cocoon, can barely speak, doesn't know anything, and everyone is asking, "Are you an Ancient?" And in the middle of a fire-fight too. I had to turn it off at that point. I can't believe I watched it.
