We need to signal boost this, if true, because that is an egregious waste of someone’s time and a theft of their due compensation.

Eh, I need my alone time and being at the beck and call of someone stastically likely to be a douche is not how I’d like to earn my living.

But I’m also not having a good time right now, so beggars can’t be choosers.

How did you even find yourself in that “industry”?

I don’t think being a ye olde big blonde rapist is gonna help someone handle a Sidewinder missile.

I have to congratulate them on making an actual masterpiece of a comic. Extraordinary

What? Does this make sense or am I unwell?

Why would the angel say “be not afraid” because he wants the predator to chill out and…eat them? Are angels piloted by suicidal, parasitic organisms forcing them to be eaten in order for the predator to spread more parasites?

I’m capable of expecting a bunch of unreasonable things! I’m great at it!

“*Video game piracy is not stealing” is closer to a statement I can get onboard with. A trivial example to disprove the former statement is the classic, seafaring pirate.

But a more salient example would be pirating music. If you have a pirated copy of an album such that you don’t need to buy another and don’t stream it from any official sources, you are materially and negatively impacting that artist.

Edit: it came to mind after I posted you might hold the position “I haven’t taken anything from them and I wouldn’t have bought it regardless of my pirating, so I haven’t deprived them of anything.” A position I’ve seen a number of times and fundamentally disagree with. Not trying to be rude but I’m not going to engage with that particular thought experiment.

You know, I can’t fault them for it. They gave it a try and decided the land wasn’t their bag.

That is not always the case, from my experience

There was a black guy that was allowed to do multiple crimes and even live! Clearly fiction.

Long live Doug Judy.

Fuck, I’m ready to try anything at this point.

…the rest of that resume must be absolutely insane. Or he’s applying to be a businessman.

I’m out here with a Master’s degree and 3 years of work experience and I’m not even getting a first call. Shit’s tough out here.

Could be a subclass. However, it should just be an ‘is’ method which is passed the array of [young, pretty] as input

Yes, and that would not be currency. It might be useful to think of this as a tiered system.

‘Trade’ is a top-level idea, an exchange between entities. On a tier below that, i.e. a closer specification of ‘trade’, exists ‘barter’ (trading goods for other goods or services) and ‘money’ (trading some representational, notional item for goods/services). ‘Chickens’ as a payment is a further specification of bartering, while ‘currency’ is a further specification of ‘money’ (being ‘money’ defined/in use by a specific power/state).

Yeah, how did they commit this to anywhere that would hurt?

Yes? That’s why I asked for accounts so I could try to understand?

Try engaging with people without looking for “gotchas”.

How do they look and act even somewhat like children? That’s a bad take

I need to see some accounts of this, the reasoning behind this. Because it is unfathomable.

Bruce Wayne is a billionaire philanthropist, but I’ll give you Peter Parker in the timelines where he’s not working on the cutting edge as a scientist.

The question isn’t “why would they have rumours?” but “why would the party be privy to them?” If you’re famous, these rumours float around by themselves but why would the party be asking about the other members? Again, unless they were somewhat famous or already knew each other.

The sticking point is the word “rumour” or “dirt”. Rumours are thinking that build up slowly, like dust in a corner. It almost sounds like you’re saying players should form impressions of the other party members which…yeah, that should happen when they get described.
