I can also behave _my_self

Fucking CERN needs to hire this man, he created an entire sun in his kitchen. They've been trying to contain nuclear fusion for decades and my man does it by accident in a pastry.

They should be. But they aren't.
Which is especially egregious with the terrible investment in public transportation. You want poor people to stop speeding? Give them a decent alternative to cars.

Flat fines mean it's only a crime for the poor

If you have enough experience to make your own custom adventure for your players, I'd recommend that, so that you can easily adjust it to suit your players needs and preferences, as you go.

But if if you're not comfortable with that, then probably just use the campaign that comes with the d&d starter pack (lost mines of phandelver or something like that).
It's not an especially amazing campaign, but it has a decent mixture of dungeon crawling and roleplaying, and the story/encounters are simple enough for beginners to understand. It's a safe bet to ease players into TTRPG.

You could also try a totally different system. I hear good things about Blades in the Dark. I've never played it, but what I hear sounds like it avoids overwhelming new players.

Elevators exist to give enough time to load in the next floor.

Naw dog
He's an emo hedgehog

So you're saying that Wario is alternate universe shadow the hedgehog????

Nobody is arguing that Freud was right.
They're explaining why Freud named it the Oedipus complex.

I agree with them. Just because Freud was wrong doesn't mean his reasoning for the naming wasn't consistent with his beliefs. He believed that the ignorance allowed Oedipus to express the internal desire that would otherwise be inhibited.

He was wrong, but that explains why he named it this way.

I mean, if you're serving over http, that is the port for it

 

I had never really heard of him outside of wrestling until the memes, and since then his movie career has actually been on a pretty impressive trajectory.

 

Theme

Try to recreate a classic exploitable meme using AI!

I'm gonna switch up the scoring a little for this challenge, so be sure to read the score section:

  • Most ambitious: the most complex meme or the meme that I (a layman) feels would be very difficult to describe via prompt.
  • Most recognizable: the meme is the easiest to identify, and is the most accurate to the original
  • Do not include the name of the meme in the prompt: the challenge is to find a novel way to recreate the meme, not just get the model to spit out an image it was trained on. You can use words that are in the name of the meme, but avoid telling the model to just make the meme.

I really tried to get it to generate Mac from the film Mac and Me, but it just wouldn't

 

What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?

Horror movies, extreme sports, thrill-seeking, it's all weird.

Edit
Changed the title and added an extra line to make it clear I'm talking about the fear response, and not specifically about extreme sports

 

Not to count my chickens before they hatch, but I think I've decided my next contest theme, if I win one in the near future

a large green pear with a large mouth. the mouth is open, showing large blunt teeth, and a tongue. the pear is on a meadow with small hills, on a sunny day. oil painting

 

I know FNAF is a "kids game" but putting it next to the Care Bears seems a bit excessive lol

 

Theme

Unexpected Astronaut!

What could possibly be unexpected, unusual, or surprising about astronauts or the situations they find themselves in?
