1:1 my custom class Alchemist at lv 3 lasts 4 rounds against a Cleric at lv 3. The Alchemist's damage output was OK with all his buffs up but the cleric laid down a damage-dealing concentration spell and then just used bonus-action heals while keeping the damage output up.

I really find the hatred Brie Larson gets kind of wild. Like all she's done is be a pretty woman who has openly and publicly said that she doesn't particularly care about the opinion of male fans. They're so enraged she insists on not being just a doll for them to project their fantasies onto.
Having enjoyed the CAPTAIN MARVEL movies just fine, I do not understand why actress Brie Larson was — and continues to be — so passionately hated by a loud minority online. Like, I think Mark Wahlberg is a lousy actor but I’m not campaigning for his failure like this, it’s weird and misogynistic.

Politicians in other countries affect us. Like. Let's be honest. Mark Carney is a craven and ineffectual coward whose entire playbook consists of two moves: interest rate manipulation and austerity. The official opposition is even worse, consisting of a pack of crypto-nazis and a separatist movement
Insulting politicians in other countries is actually very healthy, it shows that you take an interest in the goings on of the world.
Every time I see an American curse Wes Streeting my heart grows two sizes. Thank you. I hope Kyrsten Sinema inhales and accidentally swallows a poisonous insect.

Also Chomsky lost his debate with Foucault in 1971 and it wasn't even close.
Jeffrey Epstein was developing a series, moderated by @lkrauss1.bsky.social, to bring scientists and celebrities together. The first season would include an episode where "Woody Allen talks about the human condition with Linguist Noam Chomsky."

It seems like the Democrats have become a machine that makes two things: Milkshake Ducks and an extra set of obstacles for moderately progressive politicians like Mamdani.
maybe I’m just a simple folk who sucks dicks for a living and not a big time politico insider but i’m not sure this is it folks

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Of course, in Germany, those scions of Nazis who the West German state allowed to proliferate are now Israel's biggest fans.

Yes. This is very likely and is not a tinfoil hat suggestion.
maybe this is tinfoil but i think a lot of these places that are "transitioning to AI" and downsizing accordingly are doing it to mask dogshit metrics and make them look less bad than they actually are

This whole "genetic study of Hitler" is using the devil's tools to damn the devil with the devil's words. The evil of Nazi Germany was not the perversion of a single evil person.

So it turns out the Ostritch Farmer grifters' legal challenge of the cull was being funded by some weirdo American billionaire.
I, for one, think it's bad when Americans try to interfere with our politics even in obscure ways and for eccentric reasons.

So I've been watching a bunch of Anime lately because basically that's all that Netflix ever adds to its lineup that is at all interesting for the last few years. The latest ones I looked at were Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. I bounced off Demon Slayer hard. I don't really get the appeal.

Just drew up a test character of a full custom D&D class I created.
The idea is an int-based gish whose powers are largely derived from ritually casting buffs on themself with a few elements drawn from Artificer and Warlock. No spell slots. Everything is either a ritual cast or a spell-like ability

flat out lies. these tech ceos take regulators and the masses for fools
![“If you want to know how a model will behave, the only way of doing it is to run it,” Mensch also suggested. “You do need to have some empirical testing, what’s happening. Knowing the input data that has been used for training is not going to tell you whether your model is going to behave well in [a healthcare use-case], for instance. You don’t really care about what’s in the training data. You do care about the empirical behaviour of the model. So you don’t need knowledge of the training data. And if you had knowledge of the training data, it wouldn’t even teach you whether the model is going to behave well or not. So this is why I’m saying it’s neither necessary nor sufficient.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:26hkfmtr7jrchexamh7hk6rz/bafkreibp7oaeovg7xt43dlk3qtmkft6irldgf44tz75sbaiqvoqdq4kpjy@jpeg)
