Give them an earlier time. If they find out that they’re given an earlier time and get salty about it, they have bigger problems.

At one of my LARPs, we use German for Dwarvish. Given that somehow, Dwarves are a niche race, German language proficiency doesn’t come into play with a frequency that would, say, make accents relevant. However, in discussions with someone who is quite linguistically and culturally in tune with German speakers, we now can’t agree on whether we’d have the accent be Swiss, Austrian, Bavarian or Ruhr German

Okay yeah, that complicates matters. A lot.

Send committed sluts to gather the materials. No need to worry about losing your virginity if it was gone already to begin with 😜

So basically beef sausage pigs in a blanket?

I stumbled into a thread the other week of someone who tried to argue that basically, there exist non-invasive non-native species, as well as native invasive species.

Eh, no buddy. The Venn diagram is a single circle. Everything inside is native and therefore not invasive, and everything outside is invasive and therefore not native. Invasive === NOT native.

Sounds like Chinese tattoos on Americans who’ve never left their home state.

As a .world user, if you read this, it’s back up ^^

It’s cursed, that’s what it is!

That fails to consider that if people speak of “an invasive species,” they’re almost certainly using the botanical definition of that word, which boils down to “a species not native to the ecosystem where the speaker as found it,” and where native species are species that exist within an ecosystem without ever having had humans show up in said ecosystem.

Just because you like that plant being there does not mean said plant stops being invasive.

And if an organism has existed in an ecosystem for millennia, long before any human ever set foot there, then it doesn’t matter how annoying it is, it is a native species.

Put them on a boat and let them style the vessel, so it’ll be flamebuoyant

I’m certain a fair number of people have learned some basic chemistry from Dr. Doe…

I’m pretty sure that invasive === NOT native.

Chuck Testa in 2026. Who’d’ve thought…

Looks like the joke flew over your head…

But to indulge your more serious angle, yeah, it’s well thought through. And if your source is the one I think it is, that one also packages in that “NATO Phonetic Alphabet” is a bit of a misnomer.

It’s not a phonetic alphabet, since it doesn’t type out what sounds one must make to pronounce words correctly. And the main devs weren’t NATO, but ICAO. NATO was just gonna adopt it and issue some feedback for improvements.

Perhaps we could make an argument for carcinization applying to naming as well? What if anything we can’t place could end up getting named something related to crabs?

“It’s 16:59 and some seconds and I need to run in less than a minute! We’ll call it a somethingsomething crab! Now I need a beer and I’ve got a train to catch, see y’all Monday!”

Tbf, a 32 would hit almost anything. We literally had this at one of my tables the other day.

DM: does a 32 hit?

ME, THE FIGHTER: WHAT‽‽ That’s about twice what you need to hit! How high is its attack modifier‽

DM: And it wasn’t even a crit. I only rolled a 19.

To be fair though, I was bluntly tanking a bloody Roc, if that was what was gonna kill me, I’d be like “yeah, that tracks.”

Absolutely bl- cursed. Though I probably would have suggested someone make it if it wasn’t here yet.

RP: (Lay On Hands) ah, making progress!

The abstract suggests that happiness is a statistical anomaly, and in its final lines they suggest that “One possible objection to this proposal remains–that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.”
