I don’t think money has any effect on it. Some billionaires are willing to keep to themselves and roll in their money pit. Some billionaires try to buy the white house and publish a book with their face on it. If they don’t care what people think, they’re wasting a lot of money on something they don’t care about.
Okay, my conspiracy is that this is a conspiracy by Elon so people think he’s an evil genius instead of the bumbling, idea-stealing moron with an inflated budget that he really is.
The only reason Bluesky isn’t more active is because it isn’t as active, which is becoming less of an issue by the day. And I STILL see activists gathering on twitter.
No, they can be all those things at the same time. Heck, it helps to be all three.
It was narcissism that made Musk want to buy twitter, but stupidity that made him think it would stop people from mocking him. And he came up with naming it X, so that’s more evidence.
The only reason the world didn’t realise he was an idiot sooner was because he had enough money to buy the ideas of smarter people.
If you REALLY want shenanigans, have them make an int or wis saving throw with DC 2 to remember nobody is up there holding the rope.
There is an appropriate xkcd for this.
You know, he’s something of a scientist himself.
Nobody said 8 was better than 10.
Doesn’t matter. If they lose all advertisers, they shutter the channel. And if all channels have been shut down, the industry has died. Which they would rather let happen than give up any profit by giving people free stuff.
And at some point, the execs cash their last bonus check, give the company to some poor intern, and fail upwards to a new industry.
Nah, it’s still not free. They’ll charge you a monthly fee for that TV (only $10 a month for a $400* TV, so convenient!). A higher tier of subscription lets you turn off the banner ads. Through a menu in the TV settings that they mislabelled, and it tends to get hidden behind the banner ads. And with every weekly update, it turns back on.
No. This is capitalism. Executives would let their entire industry die before letting a single dollar of profit elude them. If less people watch TV, they just cut the budget of the shows they produce. They will never be desperate for you to stay.
(Assuming young students, since you said “all classes”)
How likely will a teacher be able to control a class of a hundred? Will any student that needs attention to handle their education ever receive it? What happens if an incident occurs and the teacher needs to leave to deal with it? If a child leaves the room crying, does the teacher abandon 99 kids or leave a child crying?
How long will it take for the class to give presentations? How long will it take for the teacher to mark tests? Do you imagine the teachers will be fairly compensated for the added workload, or do you think it’s a cynical ploy to hire fewer teachers?
So, in short, it’s a terrible idea. Zero out of ten. Criminal neglect of children, inhumane work conditions for the teachers, and just shit logistically.
“My hair’s getting a bit long, and my fringe keeps getting in my eyes. It can’t be that hard to give it a little trim, right?” 5 minutes later “…I’m going out for dinner in just over an hour. How quickly can I get to a hairdressers?”
There is exactly one ad that worked on me. It was a poster for a bottle of Oasis that said “you’re thirsty, we have quotas, let’s help each other out.”
Not even 1d4. It’s just 1 + STR, which is standard for an unarmed strike.
I was enchanted by the game the moment I saw how it was played, I loved it as soon as I started playing, and I was captivated as soon as Ash’s plot played out. At one point, the game said my life’s philosophy in plain text, and another person said it was dumb and pointed out the flaws in that philosophy.
How good are the characters? As soon as I learned you can exhaust dialogue trees, there was not a soul I didn’t wander next to to hear more dialogue.
How good is the soundtrack? I have learned how to play I Want To Be The Hero on ukulele.
We already have the term “virgin” for people who haven’t had sex. The reason they made a new term is so the “involuntarily” part makes them a victim. See, it’s not just that they aren’t having sex (which they TOTALLY deserve, btw), but they’re being actively denied it.
It’s a term born in anger and a need to blame someone else. If you don’t feel that need, you don’t use the term.
I once had a character play a changeling who swapped places with someone, then forgot they were a changeling. So naturally, I had the rest of the party meet the original without her. That was a fun reveal.
Why would a campaign not need a tabaxi journalist?
I don’t think nazis are the ones that decided the gay pride colour though (it was purple). I think it was someone else that decided.
Also in Japan, if someone refers to themself with their own name, that’s seen as childish or arrogant.
If your first person pronoun is the same as someone referring to you in third person, then you are referring to yourself in third person every time you refer to yourself in first person. And since the idea of a first person neopronoun is exceedingly rare, most people will only think of you as speaking in the third person.
