Did I miss anything?

Cops are usually chill and laid back, but they get tired of the monotony of their job sometimes and appreciate the use of erratic, unpredictable movement when interacting with them. They also like someone who is proactive, so instead of waiting for them to ask you for your licence and registration, just jump right out of your car as soon as they step out of theirs and pull your wallet out of your pocket as quickly as you can for them. You’ll never have an issue with the cops again after this.

We Americans are very paranoid about things we think are “too good to be true” (don’t know if that’s a phrase everywhere). This may be looking too deep into things, but I honestly think our country’s history of taking advantage of less informed peoples has influenced this - we know what happens when you take the bait, so it’s best to just accept the norm (ie paying your own metro fare) vs risk finding out what happens if they come back looking for what they “gave” you.

I actually sat and thought on this for a second. If someone walked up to me and tried to give me a $100 bill, I’d probably ask a few questions first, mainly, “what do you want?” If they seem genuine in that they just felt like being nice to someone (or even if I got the “social experiment” vibes), I’d probably take it, and ask if I could buy them something small with it (like, if this were outside the grocery store, ask if they wanted some snacks or a drink or something).

I think if I were in a group setting, someone approaching the group trying to give us a $100 bill would probably would be quickly closed out of the circle, and everyone would get quiet and look away until they left, at which point everyone would talk about that weird guy trying to sell us something.

I honestly love it when such profoundly misinformed statements are put forward with absolute authority like this.

a single history

You know that half the country went to war with the other half, right?

a single government

In California, you can order weed through an app and get it delivered to your front door. In Idaho, get pulled over after picking up for the month, you’re a felon.

a single language

Single official language sure. At my work I’m the only native English speaker and a majority of our customers are foreigners who speak little English.

This could vary depending on the situation, but as someone who works in healthcare in the US (pray for me), it doesn’t really matter if you’ve got proof of traveler’s insurance, unless I’m able to bill them directly and get a paid claim for it. In every case I’ve dealt with traveler’s insurance (admittedly not a ton, but these things are usually handled similarly across the industry), I’ve been instructed by the insuring company to bill the patient/ client, and that the client will be submitting a claim.

If it’s something relatively inexpensive like medication, you’ll probably be charged at the pharmacy, pay out of pocket and get reimbursed.

If, God forbid, you need to stay at a hospital, or dare to mention the word “ambulance”, you’ll be given a bill for $1 million, which you’ll forward to the insurance company. They’ll handle paying the hospital, then follow up with you on any kind of copay you’re meant to be left with.

Oh yup. Just checked out their Instagram, this is definitely the best one but the other comics are a good start (looks like they only started doing comics earlier this year). I hope they keep the art style consistent, its hilarious.

Thankfully they only placed tariffs on covfefe imports.

I didn’t like that ☹️

I’ve been staring at it for a minute now but it’s still not clicking for me. I guess I’m not racist?

1. You’re having an important argument with someone and you’re resorting to Reddit for an answer

2. You think having updoots on a Reddit thread matters in a real life argument

3. You want to manipulate an already trashy and biased mediation tool by artificially inflating your position

4. You openly ask for help in doing this with seemingly zero self awareness

If this is real (and I hope to God it’s just a shitpost) it’s insanely pathetic and abusive. You should not be dating.

I see, I missed that tidbit of the conversation. My bad.

I don’t see myself caring if Hasbro tries to require a “subscription”. Like I said, none of the gaming I’ve done with DND has been through any legitimate channels they offer, I’ve got the PHB and DM guide on my phone and all the games I’ve played are either homebrew or stolen PDFs that work exactly the same way a “subscription” would.

I have been interested in checking out Pathfinder, but honestly don’t care enough to push my friend group towards it. If anyone approaches me with a PF game I’ll join, but not going out of my way to find one.

so I would hope that they would want to switch just to get away from Hasbro.

I’ll say this as a relatively newer player, I don’t care about the company that made the game when I’m trying to find something to play. As a player in 2 campaigns and a baby-DM for another, I think the only money I’ve paid that hasbro would get anything from is a Nolzurs mini I bought before I started making my own.

I’m not saying that people shouldn’t look outside of DND for other RPGs, there’s a ton of other great platforms out there, just trying to offer some perspective. I don’t think the average DnD player really gives a crap about Hasbro (again, not saying they shouldn’t care, just that they don’t), let alone have a desire to change platforms based on the manufacturer.

This reads like someone in the comments of an Onion article mad that someone would spread false information.

It’s a joke, g. Throw some dice and make up some bullshit RAW of your own, it’s fun.

Energy drinks are counter intuitive.

This argument is ignoring that energy drinks a. have the same caffeine (usually more) than the coffee you offer as an alternative, b. don’t generally use sugar as a marketing term promising energy, and rather c. tend to offer sugar free alternatives to come across as healthier

Shit. You’re gonna make me go back to reign.

I switched to Redbull because of the lower caffeine content (I feel like it’s starting to effect me with jitteriness and anxiety but still need it to function (yay undiagnosed ADHD)) but that orange creamsicle was sex in my mouth and when I was able to handle it that 300mg felt AMAZING.

I might just have a heart attack at work tomorrow.

Huh, no shit! It’s been a year already.

I think that means I’m getting old.
