    To be fair, a lot of them are children. But also some adults. It’s more common than you would think.

    Plus we now have a new category of dum-dums: “But the app said it was edible!”

    Again, I don’t want to imply that eating wild mushrooms is inherently safe. Just that it’s not difficult to learn how to do it safely.




  • Well at a certain point you have to take responsibility for your own actions. I’m just saying it’s not hard to learn if you actually have the right instruction, either from someone who does know or from quality guides. The issue is as a beginner, you may not know what that looks like.

    By the way, most poisonings happen when people just eat random things without even attempting to identify them. So it’s not like they died from the deadly false button mushroom or something. They’re just morons.

    Not really. Criticism of her positions, including on Gaza, is valid. But the VP has almost no power. And there’s really nothing to be done about grocery prices at this point. Falling prices are generally considered to be very damaging to the economy and would likely cause worse problems. And there’s not really any mechanism by which the executive branch could achieve this anyway.

    Inflation is now 2.5%. That’s pretty normal. So there really isn’t any food price issue to solve at this point. The real question is: how will her policies affect wages? And what’s the plan to address the housing crisis which in my view is the real problem that is hurting people right now.

    They definitely don’t all look the same haha. I’ve picked and eaten thousands of mushrooms without issue. Most people can learn how to do it in an afternoon with proper instruction (not on your own though, there is real danger if you don’t know what you’re doing).








  • This one’s not quite CS but oh well. Spell check - After a series of unfortunate accidents at the magical university, all novel spells must be submitted to the administration in writing to ensure their safety before first casting.

    Root access - Access to the Underdark druid communication network, which is transmitted through a continent-wide system of interconnected tree roots.

    Command: Line - A creative use of the command spell that forces an affected creature to spend their turn forming or waiting in an orderly line.

    Neural net - The system of control used by an elder brain to control and coordinate illithids under its influence.


  • The actual word means one who conserves customs or structures in a given society, against those who wish to change them.

    However, it’s worth noting that republicans no longer match this definition on most issues, since they seek a radical restructuring of society. They are practically a revolutionary party at this point, albeit not the revolution leftists like to talk about.
