It’s obvious you are an independent author of D&D materials with a desire to contribute to the community.
At the same time, it would be nice if you noted anywhere in the post or especially the title that you are advertising D&D materials for sale. It’s fine if you make money off your creations, but irksome when it’s not clear that it is advertising, and also when any post perpetuates the idea that D&D is the default, or only, system.
Bojack Horseman’s title sequence is an absolute triumph. The transitions are wonderfully surreal and perfectly executed, and the soundtrack fits it perfectly while being an amazing piece of music on its own.

Supply chains, worker wages and the price of energy has been blamed for the current bout of high inflation. But central bankers around the world are starting to clue in to something consumers have been aware of for a while — corporations just aren't afraid to raise their prices anymore.
This is leaving out that a mile away from an impact that creates a 50-foot crater is in no way safe. Anyone know someone who could do the math on this?
And meaningful penalties. Sick of financial “penalties” (read: operating costs) for corporate malfeasance. Not a fan of the carceral system, but while we have it, let’s give some of the shitbags doing harm at industrial scale a taste of it.

That heavily depends where you are, what your support looks like, and of course, what your internal resources are. The point of coming out is both to live your life authentically and to improve all LGBTQ+ people’s safety and fulfillment by improving visibility and thereby acclimate the rest of the world to our existence. I don’t know if it was always a “celebration”—certainly for many of us it has been a fight—but it’s still worthwhile.
Each of us has to evaluate our own risk factors. If coming out of exposes you to more danger than you can sustain, then don’t do it. I have been assaulted (without real injury), been called names, and had death threats. I don’t like those things but I don’t regret being out.
Typically it takes ten years from onset of bag symptoms until getting a diagnosis. There is no cure, but the syndrome can be managed, especially with early treatment. Please help raise awareness

Text of the story for people with non-superhuman vision:
‘It was about the third season. They finished my makeup around 7. I was going over to Stage 16 where we shot the cave scenes. I walked down the long alley between the stages. As I turned the corner I could see way up the other end of the alley another person walking towards me. It was just sunrise. We got closer and closer. Were about 10 feet from each other, and I realized it’s Robin Williams, who was on the lot doing The Birdcage. He sees me and goes, ‘Oh my God, Mr Neelix!’ Then he does this whole routine about what it’s like to be a chef in outer space. The eggs are floating, the pancakes are getting too big!’ a Robin Williams shtick. I had a private performance for like a minute and it was really funny. Then he came up, gave me a big hug and said, 'I love your character, sir.’ Such a sweet, sweet man, I’ll never forget that.
It says something about the current relationship of large corporate apps and users when Slack makes an update - of particular annoyance is that the search bar at the top basically eats the entire border now making it impossible to move the window around unless you make the window sufficiently large - and my immediate thought is “this must have been deliberate in order to make sure Slack takes up as much of my screen as possible.”
It’s hard for me to think of a legitimate reason for how massive that search bar is and why it is so damn close to all the edges at the top making the window virtually immovable unless you greatly expand it.
The basic measure is “accuracy”: the percentage of moves that are the best move for that position. Computers are, as you would expect, inhumanly good on this measure. Better than the best human players, who will have “inaccuracies” even in their best-played games. It makes spotting cheaters pretty reliable and easy. Niemann has been busted for cheating online repeatedly, and analysis of his in-person play bears the same hallmarks.
What’s next is more studies. We know basic income works, we know the four-day work week is better for everyone, and many other things that improve life but run counter to the conservative “suffering is virtue” narrative. They won’t get implemented until we have real democracy.
