Indeed. Riker needs to back the fuck up. Also, where's that human sacrifice?

it was classified as a deadly nightshade

It's worth mentioning that while this seems insane to us now, it probably made a ton of sense at the time. The key is that tomatoes are in the same botanical family, so the plants have a lot in common. For example, here's what black nightshade fruit looks like:

You might see something that and think it resembles a dark tomato. Hundreds of years ago, people looked at a tomato and saw a red nightshade.

I often wondered about this behavior. Every so often I would see someone go to their car in a parking lot, sit down in the driver's seat and just... go nowhere. Engine is running, music is on, driver has a 1000-yard stare. It's so far removed from my own experience - I never do this - that for the longest time, I couldn't wrap my head around it. Somehow, the phrase 'after a long day' made it click. So thanks, OP.

Apartment living also showed me that some people just hang out alone in the car instead of in the apartment. That I can understand as some units can be downright claustrophobic if you have a big family. Want privacy? Get a car payment I guess. :(

I misread "mystery over" as "mystery solved" instead of "mystery about".

Holy cow is this messed up.

"Might makes right" authoritarianism has no use for it. Why bother with getting people to like you when you have all the guns? Besides, these troglodytes are a pretty unlikable bunch in the first place - it's simply not how they navigate the world.

That man is a menace.

I don't even know who the hell this is.

I had a dusty laptop running a homelab for you, and figured I should show something nice on the screen. Then, I typed in my password like an idiot. Not gonna put that online. :(

not to mention their absolute laziness over the term.

Creatives almost always lean left, often far left. It's not just lazyness: they literally can't get anyone good to invent stuff for their whole... thing. That's why the campaign optics and merch are so basic, and why they keep using everyone's music without permission.

Point in case: "make america great again" was originally a slogan that was used during the 1980's. That in turn is a knock-off of (the modestly clever) "Make Britain Great Again" from the 1950's. "Lazy" doesn't even begin to describe all this.

 

With the rise in popularity of Anime like "Delicious in Dungeon" and "Campfire Cooking in Another World", I wouldn't be surprised if people are honestly giving a "cooking bard" character a shot. I'm intrigued myself, but am curious if the RaW for this bard college works in practice. Is anyone out there playing one of these?

 
 

I used to really enjoy sites like this. I know there's joke accounts on Twitter and other sites here and there, but I haven't seen anything lately that has the whole site as one big running gag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A_comedy_website

A Q&A website is a website where the site creators use the images of pop culture icons, historical figures, fictional characters, or even inanimate objects or abstract concepts to answer input from the site's visitors, usually in question/answer format. This format of website, most popular in the early 2000s, evolved from the much older Internet Oracle. The original progenitor of this type of site was the now-defunct Forum 2000. The Forum 2000 claimed to have run the site by means of artificial intelligence, and the personalities on the website were called SOMADs, or "State Of Mind Adjointness pairs". However, later Q&A sites usually dispensed with this pretense, with the most extreme example being Jerk Squad!, on which the administrators of the site provide many of the answers.
