It doesn’t sound fair to me. Why don’t they sell the info of the management and higher ups only ,if that’s the case? But no. As always, those who are most vulnerable always get hit the hardest and first.

If this is food porn, it’s very niche

I don’t know of a platform that specifically caters for this. Would be interested to see what others suggest. I’ve found opportunities locally at game stores, Discord, through meetup, and also through Reddit (apologies Lemmy but there is not enough user base for a city based ttrpg comm here).

Meetups is good if you run a regular session and are open to drop ins Discord and Reddit or some forum styled website would be better to fish for interest in something, but people’s schedules and priorities change so you will have to ask regularly. Not much you can do about this. I don’t see this as the platform’s fault, rather the nature of what you are trying to coordinate.

If discord messages fading too quickly is an issue you can create channels for the different games you are trying to run, or give each GM their own channel for whatever they’re pitching, and pin a message in each so they don’t get buried into oblivion. I have joined servers that use this system, not for ttrpg admittedly, but this functionality solves that issue.

Fortunately last time I saw my doctor I saw her type everything herself as I spoke.

I would rate it a 4 out of 10 stars but some people say I have really high standards

Where in the world is the photo from?

The traps there are brutal

If you read the article it will summarize very succinctly everything wrong with it. It is illegal for a variety of reasons in some places (Europe, California) it’s wasteful, it means 4 fucking GB of data unrequested which can be a problem in metered connections in many places. 4GB. This model is not essential for chrome to function as a browser at all, and in all likelihood unless you use it for generating text then you probably are not even using it.

Yup it’s exactly as the headline says once you read the article. No clickbait. Also is a thorough and readable post, long but easy to understand even for someone who isn’t very tech savvy such as myself.

I guess I have to figure out how to uninstall that now

You will get answers as varied as people. Some people think buying a gift is a sign of a transactional relationship while others think they can’t possibly show up without one. Some people just send a card via mail and others gather the whole family. There isn’t a standard.

In my case the whole family gathers for a home cooked meal, but occasionally we’ve done lunch out. We bring a gift. It’s like a birthday sort of.

Agreed 100%.

I was expecting to see some charity fundraiser news or something

Thanks. That looked sick. I never used it obviously but I can see why people are sad to see it go

OOTL. What’s Monochrome? The word being so common and I presume its lifespan being so short I’m not getting any meaningful results when searching

I like this one, take my upvote

I’ll shoot in the dark…

Arson. Someone is setting on fire either the cereal crops or grain silos. On the surface it could look like gang wars or factions fighting each other (sorry I don’t know if your setting has medieval government style or if it’s more contemporary, but you get the idea).That could be sinister on its own, but maybe the arson is the means to an end (maybe someone needs a gargantuan amount of cereal ashes for a ritual or something…). The factions could be aristocratic ( one Marquis against another) or of production type (winemakers aren’t doing well, so one unscrupulous winemaker decides to play a dirty move against the beermakers).

Other sinister reasons… A mysterious disease or condition that only attacks beer makers and/or cereal farmers, if they’re local. Turns out there is some mad scientist/alchemist among the beermakers, and is using the people around him as test subjects for his poisons or diseases.

Both these reasons would also come with a short supply of beer though. And if you affect cereal you would also see shortages in many other things that use cereal. Perhaps it’s safer to have something affecting the beermakers themselves and not so much the cereals.

I’m not sure if this suits or what other things you would be okay with, for example, would an increase in beer demand be okay? How much magic in this? How crazy is too crazy? I guess it’s easier to think of inflation as a generalized thing, not so much specific of a single product in an area.

Some people keep a lot of meds and cosmetics in their fridges. It takes space away from food in the fridge and it’s gross especially with creams and ointments. Would be totally understandable for someone in the household to suggest something like this if that were the case.

That message would make prime trolling material. Just imagine digging a bottle with a message inside, and then that’s what it says. Hehe

I guess what I’m asking for is an ELI5 of the mechanisms involved, which I figured were understood from the comments.

I already understand that not everyone can bypass something like this, in fact it’s likely I couldn’t either. We also agree that nobody should in the first place. I see anonymity as a right

It’s the mechanism apparently being impossible to be cheated on what I don’t understand. Or maybe I’m just hopelessly confused.

I should have replied under the post instead of under your comment, but it was your comment the one triggering the oh wait what moment for me, sorry. Don’t feel like you have to give me an answer if I’m not making any sense

Can someone ELI5 this for me please? I’m clearly not getting what’s going on
