This child who came to my house tonight is literally the funniest human being on the planet. She complimented me on having both lollipops and mini Three Musketeers available because "a lot of houses these days don't give you a fruit flavor option." She was very solemn about this.

Imo what will make or break Hades two is Melinoe's personality. If she's cooler or more level headed or more competent than Zagreus I am NOT interested. I want them to have to have been separated at birth bc Hades didn't want everyone to know that he had not one but TWO cringefail bisexual dweeb kids. I want their sibling dynamic to be this picture:
and Melinoe is holding the gun.
Guys, stop being crap to creators. You aren’t hurting Amazon. You’re stealing from writers.
This is an extremely frustrating trend to watch happen. Indie writers already work so hard, and there's nothing they can do. Amazon doesn't give a damn, they profit either way.
Please download Libby if you want access to free ebooks that were legitimately purchased by a library. Hurting people like this means they can't afford to write books.
I’d also recommend Everand, in case Libby doesn’t have the books you’re looking for (although you can always use the app to request your library get said books) it’s not free but it’s half the price of an audible subscription and you get full access to its library of ebooks and audiobooks

you forgot to identify the pink one
11. Is a Ruger GP100, based on the scalloped section behind the cylinder and wooden insert in the synthetic grip
12. Is a S&W Model 10 based on the proportion of the size of the cylinder to the trigger guard, fixed notch rear sight, narrow hammer, and small grips that do not fill the upper portion of the frame behind the trigger guard

Okay but no like–if you’re a sessile organism (i.e. one that does not move), you still have to be able to adapt to changing environmental conditions, including potentially dangerous environmental conditions like fire and drought. Plant behavior, then, is a whole growing behavioral ecology field that studies how plants do change their behavior and physiology in response to their environment–without ever moving on a scale humans can see in the moment. (There are also sessile animals, like anemones and bivalves and barnacles, and plant behavior often pulls from studies of the way that these sessile animals respond to threat and danger by changing their behavior, too.) Trees, because they are long-lived and will therefore experience a wide range of environmental conditions in their one spot before they die, have to be particularly adaptable to change.
So what does it mean for a plant to change behavior in response to a threat? What’s going on with that ethylene gas? What’s the threat?
Well, acacia trees (not Arcadia) are infamously dry, prickly, nasty little trees that aren’t worth eating to most species. They have one big predator: the mighty giraffe.
Pictured: an acacia’s worst nightmare. Oh, it might look louche and unassuming, but giraffes eat fucktons of acacia by preference! And they particularly enjoy snacking on the flowers–the plant’s reproductive organs! What’s worse, acacias traditionally protect themselves in Africa by getting too tall for herbivores to reach and leaves growing enormous thorns all over themselves at lower levels. Giraffes, those bastards, circumvent all those lovely spiky thorns through being tall enough to just casually lean over them and snacking away. The WORST. Even if the acacia puts thorns all over itself, not just at the top, giraffes will cheerfully snake through the thorns using their long, prehensile tongues.
So what can an acacia do to combat the giraffe menace?
Different species try different tactics. Several species, especially bullthorn acacias, carefully feed and host aggressive colonies of ants to attack giraffes and other predators to drive them away. The ant colonies also often helpfully attack all of the competing plants within a radius of the tree, freeing up resources for the host tree.
But more commonly, acacias respond to getting bits eaten off itself by pumping their tissues (especially the tender leaves and shoots) full of tannins. That’s the nasty thing that makes red wine, black tea, and coffee taste so bitter to many humans… and taste interesting and astringent to others. At high enough concentrations, tannins are lethal. Acacias are good enough at producing tannins that they’re sometimes farmed for the purpose. But tannins aren’t cheap, and if there aren’t any herbivores around, maybe it’s better for the tree to put more energy into making new growth. It’s best not to waste them, after all. So plants keep them in reserve and only start really shoving them into the foliage when those bastard giraffes (or other herbivores) start damaging the plant’s growth. That damage triggers ethylene emission, which is an important stress hormone in plants. The ethylene coursing through the plant triggers release of the tannins with which the plant hopes to drive off or kill those bastard giraffes.
Well, wouldn’t it be great to know when that bastard giraffe might be coming before it eats all your nice delicate shoots and precious flowers? That way, you could get a head start on producing your tannins and minimize the damage that the fucking giraffe can do before you either drive it off or kill it. So acacias–and other plants–have ethylene receptors not just for their own hormonal signaling, but also so that they can smell the ethylene produced by other trees getting currently eaten by hungry giraffes. Remember, those leggy fuckers move, so you’d best prepare for them before they can get to you. Plants being able to communicate with one another about changes in environments before any given plant actually has to fight the giraffe allows them to adjust to change on the fly even without being able to change location or position in response to circumstances. Because the ethylene is carried on the wind, then, giraffes will actually move farther distances to graze on acacia trees, especially trees that are upwind–and therefore haven’t had a chance to prepare for the coming of the giraffe before it starts tonguing away.
Anyway that’s how I just spent an hour rolling around in bed composing this reply instead of getting up to take my meds. *fingerguns* those bastard giraffes strike again!
it’s absolutely valid in context but the phrase ‘giraffes and other predators’ sent me a place
to an acacia tree, the lion is a gentle, perhaps even benevolent source of tasty tasty nitrogen droppings, while the giraffe is a fearsome hunter
what I’m saying is that everyone needs to take a plant’s-eye view of the world some time just to get some practice stepping out of our anthropocentric perspective and reflecting on what utter bastards giraffes can be

astarion having ultra shredded abs is admissible if boring because he's a mentally ill ken doll gymrat on peds, wyll having muscles is logical because he has a sword and shit even though his arms are stupidly thin and he would not be on a low body fat % like that (75kg wtf?). gale though? who does nothing besides cast spells and try to hump your leg? him and halsin can only be saved by this mod
the way this game insists on using their one same shredded asf body model for absolutely every human man gets completely preposterous sometimes because wtf is this
Oh, no that one makes sense. Elminster is canonically shredded, he had levels in fighter in older editions where multiclassing was more prominent. It was often noted in debates over which iconic D&D wizard would win in a fight that Elminster's best hopes for victory versus the likes of Raistlin or Mordenkainen was to create an anti magic zone and just hit them because he actually had a positive strength score.
“Average wizard is actually muscular under the robes” factoid is due to statistical error. Average wizard needs help to move the couch. Elminster, who took levels in fighter and wins wizard duels with his fists, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
I had a Terry’s Chocolate Orange once in an airport 10 years ago (they’re very hard to come by in the US, I’ve never seen them sold anywhere else) and I think about it everyday.
So what you’re saying in the replies is that they are sold everywhere and they’re just hiding them from me every time I enter a store.
So what you’re saying is some sort of evil sorcerer put a curse on me to make Terry’s chocolate oranges totally invisible to me.
Attempting to obtain the orange by other means is not working.
My mother just told me she bought me a chocolate orange one year for Christmas and put it in my stocking over the fireplace and it MELTED BEFORE I COULD EAT IT. I’m starting to think there is an actual curse on me and this is no longer a joke.
