This is the reason I treat Reddit as read only nowadays, just in case.

That said, here is not perfect. I have been banned from four communities on ttrpg.network for, from what I can tell, liking a plausible-looking post that turned out to be a bot.

Spending 6 months of your life in prison is not insignificant. Incarceration is a serious punishment.

I think this guy needs to consider the difference between invisible and intangible.

If I pay for an invisible hotdog, I still expect it to taste delicious.

Or an uninhabited island that becomes full of cannibals.

Don’t forget being able to treat women like property!

I didn’t expect John Farnham scholarship as part of this topic, but I’m into it.

My warlock was a dandy with a fey patron who would buy a new outfit whenever he had a chance to spend money. It was a fun character.

As someone that age, “old but not very old” is an accurate reflection of how I feel.

Please define social media for me, because it seems like everyone’s take on it is “a website where you interact with others”, which is way too broad and I would say that applies to the entire internet then, which is a slippery slope.

That is effectively the definition from my understanding. Lemmy, Reddit, and similar boards are social media because the content is primarily user-generated.

It probably feels like the entire internet because it’s where many of us are spending most of our time.

The perception that it’s primarily powerful men is a distortion from the Epstein files. Those are the ones that can traffic victims maybe, but more often sexual assaults on children are by people known to the victim, like family or friends of family.

Which one has the greedy attitude if the parents decide “only one of our children gives a shit about me, the rest suck” and chooses to leave it to one child?

Are the greedy ones the other children who say “screw that, show me the money”?

Or is the greedy one the child that says “I sacrificed economically and personally to do unpaid domestic labour, now I’m getting paid back for my kindness”?

The FBI calls in its crack paranormal investigation team. The team consists of four plucky detectives and their dog. The dog is not forensically trained in any useful way, but is more of an emotional support animal for one of the team that struggles with addiction. It also talks to a limited extent.

The team investigates a haunting; revealing in a twist ending that it was the janitor in a costume all along.

…found my baby eating with some other man.

This is mine too. It’s a cute, fun movie. Yes completely over-the-top stupid, but that’s part of the enjoyment. I think a reason I liked it when everyone else seemed to hate it was that I didn’t have a Nintendo as a kid, so I wasn’t saddled with an expectation of what Mario should be.

Autism as a diagnosis is relatively new, but people would have always had traits that would be thought of as nowadays as autistic. As an example, Rube Waddell was a professional baseballer in 1897 who was so fascinated by firetrucks that he would run off the field mid-game to chase them.

Mine is similar. A barrister once told me that you should be nervous before an important event like an interview or court appearance. If you aren’t, all it means is that you aren’t taking it seriously.

The joke is rape. Ghost rape, but rape.

Do you mean no as in yeah nah, or nah yeah?

Making a movie is a team effort and everyone that say otherwise is an asshole

Sure, but why not in other industries? I assume at some point this became an issue that was resolved by having comprehensive credits, what was the problem it was seeking to solve?

I’m not complaining, I’m wondering why no other industry feels it’s necessary to do this.
