Merkel-Raute intensifies

rare non-horny Extra Fabulous comic

“white” is an increbibly malleable category, anyway. At one point, the Irish (who are generally even lighter-skinned than the English due to higher percentage of gingers) were considered non-white. Nowadays, most people would consider Italians and Spaniards white, and there’s quite a few hispanic people who both look white and consider themselves white (due to being descended from European immigrants). There’s a similar dynamic in India, southern Indians are often darker than ‘black’ americans while many north Indians could pass as southern europeans.

It would still be quite the sensation if we found Manatees in Scotland!

Kind of iffy to post this outside of that context, IMO. Maybe some of the other works from this author are more obvious, but it’s really hard to recognize this one as satire if you don’t already know it.

Gotta switch it up sometimes.

It’s not that they " can sort of smell drugs", they are extremely sensitive to any trace smell of drug. Your linked article confirms that:

Dog-handling officers and trainers argue the canine teams’ accuracy shouldn’t be measured in the number of alerts that turn up drugs. They said the scent of drugs or paraphernalia can linger in a car after drugs are used or sold, and the dogs’ noses are so sensitive they can pick up residue from drugs that can no longer be found in a car.

Search so thoroughly that you would even find the tiniest crumbs left on someone’s shoe sole and that 44% “success” rate would probaby jump up considerably.

Though the false positives that are mentioned in the article are also an issue, but probably less so if you’re regularly doing the rounds at airport waiting queues.

I’d assume they’re just doing the rounds with drug sniffer dogs. Those dogs have crazy sensitivity.

If you’re traveling somewhere with extremely restrictive drug laws (e.g. Singapore), you can be sentenced to prison for drug particles on your shoes. i.e. you can accidentally have forbidden substances on you.

I suppose we have pumpkins, too. At least this holiday is pretty fun, even if no one actually celebrates it here (there’s little chance it gets adoption here, where I live we even have a hard time getting into carnival, even though that holiday has native tradition).

Anyway, late August christmas sweets are way better than any Halloween-themed food or drink.

That’s interesting, what did the original use instead of kobolds?

Sounds more like Monopoly: Social Democracy edition to me. Though either way, you’d need to add a tax for the rich to explain the $300.

oof.

Unless the character expects to end up in some kind of hell …

I had to stop consuming caffeine for health reasons (exacerbates my digestive issues). I found that it actually makes a fairly big difference, depression tends to sap your energy and caffeine counteracts that somewhat.

Thing is, if you’re trying to bite someone to death the neck is the most natural target (vs. bending down to take a chunk out of their stomach or trying to open the veins in the arms). The difficulty is more in actually getting in range, which realistically would get down to grappling in a fight.

Probably different types of infections you can get from that.

LOL, that’s amazing.

Also, d4 is the damage of a dagger, which is a weapon made specifically to kill people and has a ~25% chance of killing a commoner (who typically has 4 hp) in one hit with just the rolled damage.

Maybe you just don’t rent in the kinds of places that have shitty landlords.

Vivec?
