No, the problem is that Santos is both the Queen of Wales and the capital of Uruguay, so there's a level of diplomatic immunity involved.

This guy is an idiot. I don't have anything against LGBTQ people, but when it comes to medical stuff, you're biologically male or female, because it matters for the sorts of health risks you might be susceptible to.

I taught my cat how to speak. Now he doesn't shut up.

I also "taught" him to tolerate being cradled on his back like a baby.

The best part is, while researching that rupture point, I found an academic paper comparing the relative squishiness of various animal eyeballs. Science!

Here in the United States, an ESA is a separate classification, distinct from a Service Animal or pet. You go to your psychiatrist with a mental or emotional problem, such as PTSD, and one of the things they may do is give you ESA documentation. Essentially, they prescribe you a cat or whatever.

ESAs usually are not restricted by species or breed, nor do they require any specific training, but the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) doesn't have the same protections for them as for Service Animals. Businesses do not have to allow them access, for example, no matter how loudly Karen shouts. In practice, though, business owners really don't want to fuck with the ADA, so they'd rather let fake ESAs in than risk getting in trouble over a proper Service Animal.

My understanding, however limited, is that "property" means something different in this context. Essentially, it means things like real estate and businesses, things that make money. You can own food, clothes, a TV, watches, a car, whatever you want, as long as it doesn't make money.

If you wanted to start a business, you probably could, and you wouldn't need to pay for it. The State would own the business, and you would be paid to run that business. This absolves you of all the risk associated with it, and you get paid more than a grocery store shelf stocker because you're doing a harder job, and thus demonstrating greater ability.

This is false. Republicans don't always lie. If they did, literally nobody would believe them.

What they do is actually far worse. They tell just enough truth to make their lies seem believable. That's why they end up being dangerous: because they're believable.

I know you don't believe them or find them believable, but enough people do that they keep getting elected.

It's hardly comparable. That's a whole pound of cholesterol you're missing out on.

[-] Spuddaccino@reddthat.com 12 points 1 year ago

That makes sense to me.

Everyone has a type, even sleazeballs that hit on people they're delivering food to. They're bound to find some women that don't appeal to them.

This is solvable.

First: don't tie transformations to the moon cycle. Every night they roll a Wisdom save, and the DC increases each time they succeed. If they fail, they're a bear/wolf/whatever and go around being a jerk that night. They still have a sense of when their time is coming up, but not exactly when, and they also don't pester you asking about the moon every night. Transforming in town is Bad News, no matter how nice a bear you are, and this means you can never really be sure you won't.

Second: enemies aren't stupid. If their weapons aren't working on this guy, get him out of the fight some other way while we go punch his friends. He'll get real annoyed that enemies just keep using crowd control on him, and his friends will get annoyed that they're getting creamed because damage isn't being spread out as far.

These two things together means that there are real consequences for not seeking a cure for both the characters and the players driving them.

She hasn't started play yet, we're having our first session in a few weeks, but I don't really see her being a raccoon, although not for the reason one might think.

She has a custom subclass based on Circle of the Moon that expands her wild shape list to include certain monstrosities and aberrations, but restricts her spellcasting abilities a little further. The specifics aren't important here, but why be a raccoon to eat a little trash when she can be an otyugh and eat all of the trash?

Actually, yeah. She's currently wearing a shop banner held together with some fishhooks. I've been calling her the Dumpster Druid.
