I drive. I like driving. I have apparently always liked the car -- as an infant my parents would throw me in my car seat and drive up and down the road to make me fall asleep -- though I am very, very, very much not a "car person".

I still didn't get my license until I was 18, though, because learning to drive was very stressful for me. But once I got a handle on it, I think I've become rather good at it.

scmstr@lemmy.blahaj.zone If only. He seemed to have no idea that it was a inappropriate.

I had only found out about the history between the GM and the player after the previous session, where I noticed the GM being kind of weird towards this player. It turns out, he was being weird because he had just learned that she started dating this other guy at our table.

I got brought up to speed after that session -- including the fact that the player had asked others to not intervene, and to just let her handle it -- and then got the front seat experience for the... well, the thing.

The campaign did not survive long after that session.

blurntout@lemmy.ca Oh, no, that is... not the kind of cringe I'm talking about.

The GM was infatuated with one of the players, and forced a romantic/sexual encounter on them, in front of their partner. It was super uncomfortable.

Heydo That's true, but we also don't measure galaxy rotation by watching things move. The rotation rate of galaxies is incredibly slow on human timescales. Like, the Milky Way rotates once every 100,000 - 150,000 years.

Instead, we're looking at differences in redshift from one side of the galaxy compared to the other. A rotating object -- assuming it's axis of rotation isn't perfectly facing you (i.e. you're looking straight down its north/south pole) -- always has one side that's moving toward you, and another that is moving away from you. The side that is moving toward you will be slightly blueshifted compared to the average, while the side that is moving away will be slightly redshifted. Finding a galaxy that isn't rotating means finding a galaxy that doesn't have this red/blue shift pattern.

The wizard should have been doing that while the Warlock was arguing with the GM about the number of spell slots they had left.

rumschlumpel@feddit.org I will give it to dansup, Pixelfed is really well done. Easy to use, very inviting, not particularly bogged down by trite engagement features nor people clutching at pearls over which server to join. You upload your pictures, post them, and the comments and likes roll in. It's a really solid UX, with a very supportive -- if not overly chatty -- user base. I'm not at all surprised that it's managed to maintain a significant audience.

Lexam Same. I was 41 when I put the pieces together, but I'd been ostracised most of my life, and only ever seemed to make friends with rhe weird kids or the adults wity ADHD.

Then my step-son was suspected of having ADHD, and a few searches later Google/YouTube seemed to put the pueces together for me.

msbbritain@lemmy.world The issue us that it breaks with the established systems of "reality" without explanation or cause. It's an arbitrary deviation from the established and shared understanding of how things work, with the only available explanatiin being "because I said so, so shut up and don't question me".

It's one thing if there's the equivalent of the Conceal Spell feat and actiin from Pathfinder being leveraged here,but tbat comes with both a build tax and an action tax. If there's no price being paid, it's a little bit of a "fuck you" to the players.

okamiueru@lemmy.world That's not actually what anyone has said. They said that NTs subconsciously use context clues and fill in gaps, making assumptions about what you're asking if it's unclear to them. No one has said they'll undoubtedly infer that you mean something else.

There's a big gap between the two.

You seem to be inferring what others are saying, and that inference differs from what they've actually tried to communicate.

JohnnyEnzyme What I mean is curating their communities, ensuring they have mods for them, shuttering any that are inactive, and finding other sites they can partner with to split community loads.

You know, actually taking responsibility for the social network they're running, rather than treating them like some sort of natural phenomenon that just suddenly sprung up on domains they purchased.

okamiueru@lemmy.world So, believe it or not, "would you recommend this product" isn't generally a proxy question. They're actually trying to determine if you might be a a marketing vector, and/or priming you to recommend the product to others.
