Again that's not how nukes work. If one goes off and I'm in the burn zone Im getting scorched regardless of how close it was.

How do you think the burn zone is determined?

I have stepped on legos before and never had this traumatic experience that people on the internet seem to have.

Hasbro used to be content to let WotC do their own thing because they were reliable money year over year, but at some point they decided to squeeze them for every cent they could.

Sure and I know that recently they showed that WotC is basically the only "division" of hasbro making any money which is maybe where some of this is coming from.

But I think it just is usually used to try to limit the culpability of Wizards and a lot of people who play the game never played in a time period where WotC *wasn't* owned by Hasbro.

Hasbro bought them and wants quick profit.

Hasbro bought them 22 years ago.

It reminded me of some jalapeno lemonade I had one time which was pretty good.

I've only had it in the cans though.

Though often times the easiest way to tell an AITA is fake is when there's an "update" post.

I feel it isn't fair to judge a persons actions from over a decade ago. A lot can change in that time.

idk I kind of feel like if you honestly believe that abortion is murder, "I paid for a hitman and never suffered any consequences for it" is kind of a weird position for him to be in.

In presidential debates, people seem to structure their answers so that only the last thing really gets addressed (because it's the most outrageous or something) which means that it's easy to slip a bunch of misinformation into the middle.

I feel like a lot of AITAs are too boring to be fake.

I got my PhD in math.

As much as Im a fan of Jon Bois, I found that video somewhat insufferable due to them basically poo-pooing special teams as an unimportant thing that shouldnt matter.

Sorry that theres three phases to the game, guys.

You can't neglect special teams, but I think that the worst special teams unit hurts their team less than the worst offense or worst defense does.

The best offense scored ~16 more points than the worst last season. The best defense gave up ~12.6 fewer points per game. The difference between the best punt returning team and worst punt returning team was ~8 yards per return. The difference between best FG kicking team % wise and worst was 22%, which comes out to about 1.2 pts a game on average.

Obviously you can't just reduce things to a new numbers, but special teams is a distant third in importance.

Streaming services have really cut into the "let's go see a movie, what's playing?" entertainment and that's where romcoms got a lot of their traffic.

Why not both?

It can be both, but one is more interesting of a conversation than the other.

Shady because of preying on gambling addictions, etc. or shady because you think it's rigged or something?

Their music is bland and boring and quite frankly isn't very good. The reason they are THE hated band is because they were probably the most overplayed band of the early-mid 00s on generic radio.

Yeah basically they were basically just good enough to persistently be on the radio, but not good enough for anyone to actually say they liked them.

overwhelmingly the kids who went to camp were going to bible camp ("vacation bible studies" they called it VBS)

yes i grew up in the bible belt.

i think rich kids did go to non religious camps tho just not where i lived

VBS for us was just a week of activities at our actual church, but I did go a "bible camp" once at a lake. Not really worth it though (as a child).

There's usually a buffer, but $10 might surpass that.

40% of America has no stock investments at all and 1% owns 70% of the wealth.

Also of the 60% who do have stock investments, how many of them are actually directly affected by the day to day ups and downs of the market?

it's not a different medium, it's the same mediums just using AI.

I meant music vs visual art.

I don't really understand the reply. Different medium of art, but when I'm like "Wow I wish there was an orchestral suite featuring the music from <insert musical>", I don't think when I don't find anything that anything I would produce by sitting down and "making it myself" would fulfill my desires because that ****'s hard.

If competition would naturally force wage above minimum wage, it wouldn't matter that we had one.

I've always thought it was weird that some people don't consider your inhibitions to be part of your personality.
