It wouldn’t have surprised me if WOTC dropped D&D as a brand if Honor Among Thieves had flopped.

And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers “well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years”.

Didn’t they do this with Yakuza?

Although, like economic figures, this tends to be concentrated. It would not surprise me if a hundred of those clients were managing 20k or more units apiece.
- Comment on How does Ohio have stock for the new cannabis stores that just opened? 2 months ago:
Oh they fucking tried a LOT. The public at large, and a lot of the lobbying groups, kept up the pressure really well to get this through.

Haley isn’t really afraid to say the quiet part loud.
- Comment on The lion is clearly an algorithm for Persia 3 months ago:
He also claimed the war didn’t leave him with any bad memories, but he’s got a whole marsh where dead people pull other people into the bog to drown.
Weirdly totally not about the Somme according to Tolkien.

I believe the Sermon on the Mount essentially says “clothe the naked, feed the hungry, take care of the sick.”. No limits on time.
The Didoche was written in an era where Christian communities generally had little wealth and were constantly in danger of arrest or execution. This is NOT the case in most places now, and especially not in the US, which this meme is referencing.
Nobody who’s suggesting state assistance is suggesting that we “take care” of people forever, at least not under the current system. Indeed, the data pretty easily shows that if you give people a place to stay, solid food aid, and some cash to deal with bills and miscellania, they start being functioning members of society, and get jobs and start the detox process or whatever interventions they need, really quick, like within months. This has been trialed even in the US in places like Denver, and it works.
So what you’re really saying is “I don’t want more of my money going to helping other people.” Have fun being the richest man in the cemetery.
- Comment on Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died 4 months ago:
Not these Teslas, from what I understand. The type of glass they use is EXTREMELY resistant to shattering.

You forgot the parts where he drove an APC through the wrong guy’s house, and also the part about the sex slave that escaped from his house.
- Comment on PSA: Don't eat cicadas if you're allergic to shellfish... or at all 5 months ago:
Nah, this has been a thing for a WHILE. My great grandma had cookbooks from the 1910s with recipes for cicadas.

So the first one MIGHT have been a suicide. The second one got sick, went to the hospital, and sadly contracted MRSA there and died of complications from that.
- Comment on Tesla Exodus Continues As Top HR Exec Leaves After Brutal Job Cuts 5 months ago:
Pretty much this. Elon was never interested in what he SHOULD HAVE BEEN: making an inexpensive electric vehicle that’s widely available. Tesla had the tech to do so, but they were being driven to make insane decisions like moving the gearshift to a touchscreen (gee, I love taking my eyes off the road to shift gears), or making “futuristic” doors that actually cannot physically open from the inside (whoops, guess those just can’t be recalled since DOT has literally no teeth).
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 5 months ago:
Also, I think Tesla saw the way the wind was blowing on standardization. Eventually, the DOT will enforce a standard plug, and if it’s not YOURS, suddenly you have to either remanufacture the cars you’re making, or otherwise refit them to work with the new standard.
- Comment on PSA: Do not approach the wildlife. 5 months ago:
I saw several people try to go hiking like that at Red Rocks outside of Las Vegas when I was there.
It was summer. The temperature was 130F.

I BELIEVE you can gain certain tax breaks if you can prove that a certain percentage of your workforce is veterans or disabled people.
At the very least, I’m OK with it. Leveraging my autism diagnosis has gotten me a few positions in the past from employers wanting to tick those EEOC boxes.
- Comment on Whistleblower 'would not' put family on Boeing 787 jet 6 months ago:
One can seriously hope, and moreover hope that the trains are electrified. We seem to be pathologically afraid of re-electrifying rail in the US.

Considering the main oil companies LITERALLY engage in price fixing, openly.

Walton Goggins is great in everything.
- Comment on Next on the hydraulic press channel! 6 months ago:
Exactly this. Everyone working on that machine slaps their lock on it, and every last lock needs to be removed before the tag can come off. The welders might finish in half a day, but the electrical or water or hydraulic guys might need a whole weekend to get done, so this makes sure someone doesn’t say “oh the lock is gone” and make mincemeat out of some dude’s head.

This is just mushrooms in general. There are tons of copycat species that look nearly identical, like false morels, which will kill you.

Also, a good handful of the people who DO own a weapon, have no training in the weapon and don’t know how to use or handle one safely.

Don’t forget people thinking that scanlines in a news broadcast over Obama’s suit meant that Obama was a HOLOGRAM and ACTUALLY A LIZARD PERSON.
- Comment on It's not enough to touch grass 6 months ago:
Kentucky was named the Bluegrass State because it was so invasive that when settlers came into the area, they found the whole state carpeted in it.
- Comment on Why don't we hear more about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting? It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we never found a motive, and it seems no one ever mentions it. 7 months ago:
Pretty much this. I lived through the Columbine days as a middle school student. I remember being confused, even more now looking back, that nobody really made time to talk about “how do we stop this from happening in the first place”, people just seemed to assume that it could happen and we should all be OK with that.

From what I understand, he had also recently taken a serious nosedive in the finance department, and while he was still a high roller, he was not the HIGH ROLLER he had been in years before, and he seemed to regard that as an injury to his pride.

Yup, this is a hitlist, not a “prayer list” or whatever.
- Comment on Experiments with electricity 7 months ago:
Yup. Remember guys, if you open something and say “wow those capacitors look a lot bigger than normal”, close it up gently and don’t touch it. Even if it’s been unplugged for DAYS, these types of caps can still carry enough charge to hurt like hell at the least, and blow up in your face at worst.
