In ages past I made a very similar wallpaper you can get printed if you want:

that if one wants to argue hard, it’s best to start with some politeness where possible.

Wow, you’re a real fucking peice of work - you’re going to complain about people being impolite while running interference for a genocide? I’m not even talking about the post, I’m talking about your comments in this thread - equating Israeli society falling with the genocide of the individuals who make it up? Really? They can just fuck off back to europe where they belong, while they are actually genociding palestinians in an attempt to destroy the country entirely. Accusing others of wanting to do what your side IS ACTIVELY DOING, right now, as we speak, is exactly why you don’t get civil replies; there’s no reason to be civil to genocide supporters. You’ve done nothing to deserve civility. You’re just complete fucking scum.

The genericness makes it easy to grasp, which can be good for people who don’t or haven’t engaged much with fantasy. It also means the setting doesn’t matter much to people’s stories, allowing them to put whatever they really want in it. It’s just a whatever world for them to plonk adventures down in.

Yeah, it’s named after the luminiferous aether, the invisible medium light waves were theorised to move in. Turns out photons just do that instead.

Ok, why aren’t the papers already full of those stories then? Old people die all the time. If the stories are guaranteed regardless of the governments actions, why are you bothered about the optics at all? They’re going to be the same no matter what.

Are you honestly proposing that an increase in cold related deaths beyond expected levels during a cold snap is more likely to be explained by thousands of OAP’s just happening to forget to turn the heating on, rather than them not being able to afford it?

people just don’t forgive or forget easily (especially if there is a cold snap and the papers fill with stories of pensioners dying because they can’t afford to turn the heating on).

This is a really sketchy phrasing of “if Labour cuts kill pensioners”. People remember when government policies kill their family members, it’s not just a matter of optics.

Couple of small issues with that idea: can’t hide from the big fiery sauron eye, and nazguls on pteradactyls.

I just want to be absolutely clear here, to make sure that you fully understand the question, because your answer suggests you don’t: It’s not couple of weeks a year, it’s just a couple of weeks, right at the start, and it’s not a holiday, you have to look after the baby at its most helpless during those extra weeks of leave. Are you sure that you consider a few extra weeks of looking after a child to be worth 18 years of looking after the child? Like I’m not doing a silly hypothetical where I ask if you consider yourself more or less likely to consider having a child in future, I am asking you, personally, if you will be having a child and raising it should men recieve more paternal leave.

Would you honestly take on at least 18 years of responsibility for another human being in exchange for a couple of weeks off work? Do you seriously consider that an incentive?

who thought that getting a cheesy splatter film director was a great decision?

Honestly on paper that sounds pretty good, Borderlands should really work as a bit of a campy gorefest. Just… not Eli Roth.

This is completely standard, Paizo have always given the rules for free and made you pay for the stories and lore.
It’s not even a starter set, it’s the playtest, so you already need to be familiar with Pathfinder 2e in order to use the rules. Definitely not a place for a group to test the waters, they’re looking for serious dweebs to obsess over the maths and mechanics so they can refine it - the playtest adventure(s) are just playgrounds for them to do that it.

Israel has been in open breach of the 3rd Geneva convention since 1948. Nothing they’ve done has been legal under international law.

Use Kelvin then, 314°K is a way bigger number

Using spices doesn’t mean making spicy food, especially if you’re using spicy to mean containing capsaicin. They are mostly used to enhance the main flavour of the dish, they don’t need to be overpowering.

And sure it adds umami, but if that’s all we wanted we could just use the fish sauce it’s based on. The spices add additional flavour that add more than just a generic umami flavour profile. Garlic is umami too, but that’s not its entire flavour.

Kinda funny that foreigners always bring up baked beans as an example of us not using spices when we bake our beans in a spiced tomato sauce. And then we cover them in Worcestershire sauce, which is largely concentrated and fermented spices.

Like we do actually have loads of foods that don’t use any spices - butter pie, sausage and mash, smoked kippers - but people seem really attached to the appearance of baked beans.

The political alignment is entirely relevant to Miles O’Brien.

…you think the Ukrainians are lying about losing one of their own jets?

“We’d urge members of the public to alert police if they see any of these stickers and to not scan the QR code."

Scanning the codes is said to send the user onto a website where it appears that cannabis can be bought and delivered.

I thought they were gonna be some kind of malicious code delivery thing, not warning people that they actually work
