But this is not the “About this account” tab, which doesn’t expose your city, email, or device type. It looks like a document on a pastebin-style service (it has voting and report options, number of views, etc.). So how did they get the additional info?

Edit to add: My gut says “they made it the fuck up to discredit someone they dislike on the internet.”

I licked several of the Switch 1 carts and I can’t taste whatever they’re using on them at all. I feel like I’m missing out!

I was playing RE1 on PS1 recently for the first time, and it just put the important things in important-looking locations. If you enter a room with a desk in it, and the desk is in the center of the frame because of the fixed camera position, you should probably press X on the desk. It also has no HUD elements on the main game screen, you need to open the menu to check your health or ammo. Very rarely it uses a sparkle to call attention to an item that is important but too small to see clearly.

Maybe realistic graphics and free camera movement were a mistake. /hj

The Culture seems like the obvious choice. You can be whoever you want, do whatever you want (or not do much of anything, if you prefer), live as long (or as short) as you want… There are no downsides, really, unless you object to living in a society where the Minds are so vastly more intelligent than humans that you’re functionally their pet. I can see how some people might find that unsettling.

Maybe. It’s because “weapon attack” is the verbiage they settled on for hitting somebody with something that isn’t a spell (spells make “spell attacks”). They could call them “weapon or unarmed attacks” but that seems unnecessarily verbose when 95% of them are going to be made with a weapon. You might think that for hand-to-hand combat you could simply refer to “melee attacks,” but “melee” is a specifier that can be applied to spell attacks too, so it’s out.

So the current situation is this: a rule can simply refer to all “attacks,” or it can refer to “melee” or “ranged” attacks, or it can refer to “weapon” or “spell” attacks, or it can use both specifiers (as in “ranged weapon attack”).

So if you want to fix it, you need a word to replace “weapon” that could include unarmed combat but excludes all spells. “Physical” might be good, but has some edge case problems: if I have a psychic “blade” that attacks your mind, it makes “physical attacks” despite being a non-physical object. If I have a spell that physically throws a boulder at you, it’s pretty easy for me to remember that I should make a spell attack roll, but if you have a feature that defends against “physical attacks” you might think it should apply against the boulder when it doesn’t. “Martial attack” might be getting at the right thing, but it sounds strange, and for new players who might be new to RPGs “martial” and “melee” are both uncommon words that kind of sound similar, and that might cause confusion. (Also “martial melee attack” sounds more natural than “melee martial attack,” but then it has the opposite word order from “melee spell attack” and that’s weird.)

There may be a perfect word out there, but in the end they decided “weapon” was the least confusing, despite requiring the caveat that attacking unarmed is a “weapon attack.” And so everywhere that the rules say “attack with a weapon” instead, it is to specifically exclude unarmed attacks, although I admit that it’s not always obvious why they want to do that.

The ones that say “when you hit a creature with an attack using a weapon”? Your DM is following the intended rules. In 5e, your empty hand can make “melee weapon attacks,” but that attack is not an “attack with a melee weapon” or an “attack using a weapon.” Unless that changed in the recent update, I haven’t read the 5.5 books.

the obligation to retain the original product logo (Section 7(b));

the denial of any rights to use the copyright holder’s trademarks (Section 7(e)).

Uhhh is it just me or is it impossible to follow the first requirement without violating the second one? The logo requirement seems engineered to make sure that you can’t actually fork the project: if you include the original logo, they can hit you for trademark violation, and if you don’t include the logo they can say you violated their license terms.

I wash graphic tees and other printed clothing inside out because I was told it does less damage to the image. No idea if it actually helps.

Oh that’s unfortunate!

If you’re on a podcast called Critical Drinker maybe calling a show “shit” is just the expected level of banter. I’ve certainly leveled harsher criticism at better media while drinking! And while sober, to be honest.

This kind of seems like a nothingburger.

I would tell people it’s about my love of mate.

Low function day. I am supposed to be finishing cleaning my room, but by the time I did laundry and went shopping and made lunch I ran out of energy and had to lie down, and that was the end of that plan.

This is bad because my roommate is very unhappy about the state of my room, which is abysmal (the mice that live in my walls shit on everything and it stinks), and I would like to fix it so that he feels better about it. I tried to hire a maid service to come clean the apartment, but the one I contacted said they wouldn’t come out if we had mouse droppings, I guess because of the risk of sickness. So the plan is to get things clean enough that I can tell them the mouse droppings are cleaned up so that they can come out, but obviously I struggle to clean which is why I needed help in the first place… I wanted to get it done over the weekend but the weekend has now ended, so we’ll have to see if I can get it done tomorrow.

Unfortunately it has been long enough that I don’t remember the details, but about 10 years ago my roommate made jalapeño-infused ginger beer and it was intensely spicy; several people tried it and I was the only one who would drink it. And I’m pretty sure that fermented for way less than 2 weeks. If you’re considering using jalapeños, I would be VERY cautious about how much jalapeño you add.

Let’s see… when I was 4 I got a Sega Genesis for my birthday. It came with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Granddad took me shopping to pick out two other games for it. I picked Sonic the Hedgehog and Ms. Pac-Man, and both were bangers. The Genesis port of Ms. Pac-Man had a bunch of alternate modes with different mazes.

I became a big fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog games. I got Sonic 3 for my next(?) birthday, and Sonic and Knuckles the Christmas after that(?). I was convinced that Lock-On Technology was going to be the future of video games!

Also my recollection is that Sonic 2 wasn’t actually packed in with the system, Granddad had to fill out like a rebate form to claim it from the retailer and it came in the mail. It had a NOT FOR RESALE sticker on it which I now understand meant “only for use in the promotion, don’t put this on the shelf” but as a kid I was very confused about what peril would befall me if I sold it to someone else.

Not particularly, no. Unless doing the things I want to do, and not doing things I don’t want to do, counts as principle.

A letter sent on October 15, 1860 from 11-year-old Grace Bedell to Lincoln:

Oh I’m an idiot. I thought they were mad at the cathedral.

From NPR:

Over the years, Webber learned how to write, fish and hunt. Videos on a YouTube account believed to belong to Webber show him firing guns using his upper arms. He wrote in a 2023 Today piece that he “even taught myself how to drive by racing go-karts.”

I never understood being grounded. When I was a kid, we just snuck out anyway because what are they gonna do, super ground us?
