Oooohhhhh, that makes sense.

informed dedication opinions.

Hmmmmm

How so?

It was factual and stated neutrally as far as I can tell.

You can have a job and still do the things you think you would have done as a child. It isn’t like 1/3 of childhood days aren’t taken up by school, not even counting homework.

I had so much more time as a young adult than I had in school. Except for summer break I guess.

Ewww, no. The programmer should have run their unit tests, maybe even told you about them. You should be testing for edge cases not covered by the unit tests at a minimum and replicating the unit tests if they don’t appear to be very thorough.

Choosing not to roll dice avoids needing to follow the outcome. That was a smart decision on the door knocking!

Design requirements are what it should do, not how it does it.

What, like some kind of design requirements?

Heresy!

That’s the password to my luggage!

People are pretty good at remembering the negatives and forgetting positives.

Maybe you just remember the mean ones.

I chuckled at “Trump wants to annex Wisconsin” because it is just plausible enough that he would say something like that.

The pointing an laughing at one or a few people is always assholish. A good prank involves everyone laughing together, and if it is targetted at anyone in particular they have to be comfortable with being the target.

Jokes that are aimed at a widespread audience get a pass because there will always be someone who doesn’t like something or feels foolish when they feel tricked no matter how lighthearted the joke is. So a game company announcing something ridiculous for their game needs some leeway when someone takes it personally when they fall for an announcement that Fortnite is removing dances or there would be no room for humor.

Widespread ones can still be mean spirited of course, but tricking people isn’t what makes it so.

Will do, Francis Bacon Tumminowson III of Wilburville, Kentucky!

You can’t wash with one hand like you can’t clap with one hand.

If sticking to the outcome of an extremely unlikely series of die roles is being too hard, your players are playing the wrong game.

If we can’t call them out on their bullshit then we are placating them.

Cool, cool. Let’s placate the bullies and hope for the best!

When their alt right beliefs bite them in the ass they don’t change their mind.

What kind of careful approach do you think is going to magically work? Why would any approach make anything better or worse when they won’t change due to direct negative impacts to themselves from their own actions.

How is the outcome any different when the end result is them continuing to hold the same opinions contrary to evidence?

I have changed my opinions by being exposed to new knowledge and different opinions multiple times, so I assume it could happen to other people too.
