The one where ISIS exists and attacked Moscow's Crocus City Hall theater in March. IIRC the Taliban and ISIS aren't best friends because ISIS sees them as resting on their laurels and wanting to stabilize their control of Afghanistan rather than expanding and building an Islamic State.

you also get exp-boosting earrings that work until the max level of the previous expansion, and a unique minion (little pet to show off)

it's not 'early access' in that way, it's just that if you preorder you get access 3 or 4 days early

doesn't seem like such a bad job

  • low impact
  • low stress
  • gossip with your coworkers if they're chill
  • if they're not, podcasts/ebooks/flatout watching shit on your phone

She "claimed that she didn’t know the bag belonged to him." 🙄

She intended to pour water in someone else's bag several times over a period of months in a targeted harrasment campaign, it's fine!

this has to be satire

Assuming this is real, this is probably some shit he used to do when he was a kid, maybe with his parents or older sibling or something, and he still occasionally does it because of nostalgia or habit. Maybe he only just then realized it was weird for an adult to do. I'm really reading a lot into this, but that was my first thought is all

That's why I use "site:reddit.com" instead of just adding "reddit"

Yes. In the story the elf here, Frieren, is travelling on foot with humans across the continent they live on. Frieren often wants to stop at towns they come across to rest, or study something local, or wait for favorable conditions, for anywhere from a year to multiple decades. The humans with her constantly have to remind her that a decade is like a 7th or 8th of their lifetime, even if it's only a few moments for her comparatively.

Not to defend the social security number system (because it's terrible for unique identification of individuals and when it was created it wasn't even intended to be used for that purpose) but you're not supposed to carry it around with you all the time. It's supposed to be in a drawer/safe/fireproof bag with the rest of your important documents, and only brought out when you need it.

Currently there is no rule for when a vote is over, or when the vote is tallied. I propose we allow 24 hours from post creation to allow everyone in the community to have a chance to see and consider a proposal and vote. After 24 hours from post creation, the 'polls' would close and the votes can be tallied. Any votes cast after 24 hours would be invalid.

Edit: some good points made, I withdraw this proposal
