“Alphas” should understand that their time is up when a Beta appears.

Lemvotes will show you who’s voted, and which way, on any post or comment. By “brigading”, are you thinking of activity over more than one post or comment?

To be fair, if that thing ever got off the ground, it probably would be safe from enemy fire, as they’d be too busy laughing at it to actually shoot it.
- Comment on laughs in 12 hours, while still driving through texas 3 days ago:
Google maps says that journey would currently take 14:45, presumably at a legal speed, and while that’s long enough to split over two days, you probably can do it in one go. It’s not speeding that’ll get you, but tiredness.

It casts a touch range spell, the somatic component consists of switching it on and applying it to the spell’s target in the right way, and the result is typically the target squirming around and making happy noises. They have disadvantage on all checks for 1d12 rounds.

Ah yes, thank you, it was, indeed, bertstrips@lemm.ee. It looks like they tried to move to !bertstrips@moist.catsweat.com, but it’s been a year since anyone posted there.
RIP lemm.ee, it was an excellent server, and my previous home.

I think the idea is that a light colour tends to make the room look bigger and “fresher” than a dark one. It’s also definitely a lot easier to paint over than a “Teal Ripple” feature wall. Neutral colours and basic but nice looking furniture also means a potential buyer isn’t put off by the current occupier’s decorative tastes.

The better quality stuff has quite a thick ‘wear layer’, with the effect all the way through that layer, so they don’t lose it too quickly.

We used to have an entire community filled with these sorts of Sesame Street memes, but I think it vanished in one of the early server deaths. Is there somewhere they still exist?
- Comment on What can I put on a street lamp to stop the light in one direction? 1 week ago:
Talk to your local council, or whoever looks after lighting in your area, they should be able to put a shade on it tgst blocks light from hitting your window. It might take sime effort to persuade them, but it’ll be the best solution.
Failing that, or in addition, as others have mentioned, blackout curtains do wonders.

These are mostly code words designed to keep those pesky foreigners confused.
Pavement comes from the latin root “pavire” meaning to tread down. Vehicles drive on the road, a word which may stem from a proto-indo-european root meaning “to ride”. If there’s one thing we like more than tea, it’s tradition, and millennia old words really scratch that itch. Besides, only crabs walk on a sidewalk, or do you lot all shuffle along like you’re trying to get through a narrow gap?
Windscreen is, again, perfectly logical when you consider that in the 14th century “screen” referred to a barrier that might be used to block draughts. If it was a good enough word 700 years ago, it’s good enough now by Jove!
I must take exception to your description of a jumper being a shirt. A jumper does not open at the front, and so cannot possibly be compared to a shirt, whose defining feature is the opening, typically finished with a placket on each side, unless it’s a tee-shirt, but it’s too chilly to wear those here, so we don’t talk about them. The garment you are referring to is, of course, a cardigan. Both the jumper and the cardigan do share the trait of being a made of a heavier material, or knitted, often by your Granny, out of heavy wool.

Oi! Knock it off bruv!
I’ll have you know that the u in colour is very important. It nake the other o sound more like a u. Furthermore, check is a perfectly good word, but you cant pay with it. For that you need a cheque, and you can’t pay with those in most places now either. You car would have a bonnet and a boot, but a lorry would only have the former. Decending in a lift is no more unexpected than doing so in an elevator, and it significantly fewer letters too.
Now, having sorted out these minor linguistic quirks, would you care for a nice cup of tea and a chat about the weather?

He didn’t say anything about dealing with them, that’s an optional add-on.
- Comment on Flock Offers Employees Buyouts as Customers Flee 4 weeks ago:
Flock has done its part in soaking up public anger at pervasive surveillance, and can now be left to fail. Companies like Axon will step in to the breach, be slightly less obviously awful, and receive much less public pushback.
This isn’t going away until the very governments that benefit from it pass laws against it. For there to be any chance of that happening there has to be even greater public pushback.

Belle didn’t mind a bit of rollplay to spice things up, but she was not impressed by Beast’s suggestion of how she carry out her investigation. That wasn’t standard issue equipment at all.

I will never understand why we go through the motions with these things
There is no obligation for you to “go through the motions”, others chose to do so for things like “fun”, and as a form of socialising. Rather than making a pointlessly sour comment, you could easily have ignored the post, likely making both your, and everyone elses, day better.

A bigger screen can make many tasks easier. I’d quite like to be able to see a decently large terminal window and a keyboard at the same time for instance.
- Comment on Poole Old Lifeboat Museum shuts after protesters target volunteers 5 weeks ago:
During the incident, the RNLI said it also helped to ensure the safety of anti-migrant protesters who had entered the sea off Portsmouth.
Shouldn’t have bothered. If they don’t want lifeboat services, they shouldn’t get in to situations where they need them.
- Comment on Wait, you mean workers *don't* love the automatic dumbass machines that constantly threaten their jobs? 1 month ago:
Indeed. Whilst I very much hope that people are turning against using LLMs, that’s not what this chart shows. As you allude to, it’s just the sentiment of reviews mentioning AI, of which a large number are probably complaining about the results, rather than expressing opposition to the use of LLMs.

Regardless of your status at parties, I actually prefer your wording, it seems to scan a little more easily.
- Comment on CAH at it again 1 month ago:
The problem is that Höcke probably looks at that and thinks “It was a good start”. People like that feel no shame for this sort of thing, and want more of it. It could be a powerful message to others though.
- Comment on Knife horse 1 month ago:
It is a horse made of knifes, in the shape of a knife, that wields knives. It has difficulty getting through screening at airports.
- Comment on Rich ppl live longer 1 month ago:
I’m not a horse person, but having been around several, my understanding is that horses don’t joke about that sort of thing. They take it very seriously indeed.
That, and, as the previous commenter said, get spooked by a rogue crisp packet, their own shadow, or the fact the sun has come up again.

Just got to rig up a lever to the trigger and you might even stop the car before impact. I imagine that’d give the bike a bit of a shove too, so maybe you need one on the other side too, to balance the forces.
