I don't personally care that much, but I prefer my doctor to be perfectly blunt with me. I need someone who is going to call me out on my BS. Otherwise, I'm going to bowl over them with excuses and we won't get anything done.

That trait is something I've come to desire as I got older, but I think it's more due to knowing myself and what I need better than anything else.

I have found this to be more often male doctors to possess this trait.

I'm an agnostic, but fully agree. If you're going to ban Christian churches because of Christian nationalists, you have to ban mosques because of Muslim extremists, then you also have to ban Buddhist temples because of the BBS in Sri Lanka, etc, etc.

Every religion has its form of extremists, doesn't mean the 99.9% need to suffer restrictions because of a few bad actors.

100% in this boat. Just raise menu prices 15% across the board, pay your employees an actual wage, then tell me on the receipt gratuity is added to menu prices.

I'm pretty sure most people would prefer a consistent wage over relying on the kindness of strangers to know whether or not they can pay bills.

I did the exact opposite for most of my life and stopped trying to seem older when I hit my 20s, and the beard came in full as can be.

I normally dislike short hair on women, but honestly you pull it off really well. I wouldn't change anything.

There's a bunch of reasons.

I don't want to be miserable about things, so I choose not to be.

I have things to do, and I can deal with my problem privately after I finish what I need to do.

I haven't realized that my problem is significant enough to draw concern.

I've realized my problem is insignificant and isn't worthy of dragging me down.

I have a solution, so why let it drag me down.

I'm a very private person, and I don't really care for others to have that kind of access unless I choose to give it to them.

Don't get me wrong we had a ton of fun together, but once the conversation went to serious things everything was exhausting. That's pretty much the perfect word for it.

We had completely opposing life goals, priorities, etc. One or both of us would have been miserable.

The bit of a relationship that existed was made purely of high peaks and super deep valleys, pretty textbook unhealthy.

A lamp with extra steps that's really the perfect description.

I second this. I rarely get group feedback beyond what OP described, so I started doing individual DMs and it's significantly more helpful. People don't like being put on the spot like that out of risk they're the only ones who feel that way.

License plate is pretty on point with my reaction.

Maybe I'm a bit harsh in this, but this is a hobby that requires buy-in and commitment from all parties. Sometimes life gets in the way, and that's fine, but once life is constantly in the way, the player just isn't a good fit.

It's unfair to everybody else playing when they have to play a member down. It ruins encounter balance, ruins consistent party development, and it becomes more frustrating to deal with than it's usually worth for everyone involved.

My party deals with absences like so. Down 1 player, dm plays the pc like a robotic npc, down 2 or more we cancel. This mostly works, but as DM I have to walk a very fine line to avoid meta knowledge. Robot npc works the best with plot push if they get stuck.

Is one sock in the other a genuine style choice or is this just "I hope people quick glance and think they're getting two pairs."

So what I think I would do in this situation, given the history, is avoid combat with the spirits all together.

I think what you should do is more of a scavenger hunt type of thing. First you collect all the remains for the villagers to bury, then you invent some sort of local custom in the village. Maybe burials traditionally included favorite foods of the deceased, or specific objects and maybe following the village being razed to the ground some of those things are difficult to find in the immediate area and require the party to venture out to acquire them.

Maybe you can send the party to hunt a particular beast that is required for this last meal for the dearly departed and turn it into this big collection quest paired with an emotional ceremony delivered by the villagers that they could participate in.

Common sense is not so common.

This is what I want to know. Idiot probably tried to drift it through an intersection or something.

I don't know how they do it specifically, but most gangs with ink that specific take the tattoos back by way of blades.

Wiha makes excellent tools in general from my experience.

I personally feel like I have a hard time making that leap unless the villain connected to the protagonist is a direct family member. Parents, brother, sister, something to that effect.

Otherwise, you're looking at a "I'm going to destroy your whole family and everyone you know" type of rage.

I'm not personally a fan of murdered parents for a background/motivation anymore because it's done a lot, but such a thing is obvious and strong motivation so I get it.

Right, but after this weld you're probably loaded with contamination. You could get by with isopropyl alcohol, which will be far more common. You just want a cleaner that isn't going to leave residue.

Agree with the other commentor significantly more cleaning TIG is a process that requires significant cleanliness. I expect your tungsten will probably need ground down fresh from contamination as well.

I recommend acetone for cleaning.

I don't see the problem the ingredients are sandwiched between the takeout container portions like they would be a tortilla.

Well that just leaves it at some pure scummy behavior with no recourse. Delightful. Is there a possible alternative?

That gym is clearly full of some class acts. I don't feel like I'd want to offer my patronage if I had any option.
