Bad news about purple
Is that not grape?
Leeeeerooooooooooyyyyy jenkinnssss
Oh, I want my plot armour. This makes me angry. You’re not gunna like this. As a Barbarian being angry makes me rage, and raging makes my character interactions and dialogue extremely one dimensional.
I hate this i hate this website
My name is Ian Serr T’self Protagoneest. My personality is chaotic evil. I have no character flaws. My gold is mine I won it fair and square in a tavern brawl. Everyone loves me, even the fair bar wench said she would happily accept my patronage again. If you won’t make this armour for me, I’ll be forced to bully the DM into letting me make another persuasion roll.
Best I can do is two gold, three silver and a dirty 14 on a persuasion roll
Ukraine is flatter than me on Estrogen

Me, a lvl six barbarian walking into the orc blacksmith: uhhh can I get… some uhhh… plot armour thanks?
From Aus. Here it essentially depends on the context and adjective proceeding the word and can be substituted for ‘person’,
slur discussion including censored ableist slurs
i.e… good c* means ‘good person’, funny c* means ‘funny person’.
Calling someone a dumb c* may mean ‘oh you silly billy’ (endearing/condescending) or ‘you f-ing m*ron’ (insulting) depending on context, more likely the latter.
Overwhelmingly it used in this manner by men to refer to other men.
On its own it is almost certainly negative.
You would not use it in polite company
It is not as widely used as some people would like to pretend online (though it is heavily used by some)
:god-i-wish-that-were-me:
It took him a long time to get to what the issue was, that he only starts to think about how to explain the error well-into the repeated calls. It’s like he thought the issue was so self-evident that he doesn’t start to refine and break down his explanations of why it’s wrong until too late. Keeping things within one unit (rather than swapping between $/¢) as you suggest may have been better, but after two hours on the phone he sounds like he’s already at his wit’s end. It’s really frustrating, so if you do have the time it’s worth listening to
spoilered slur in initials
It was a different slur, not an ableist one >> “C U Next Tuesday”
Fair, but I’m more likely to have a cup and water on hand than a pizza
Yep that’s how I’d explain it too, maybe with a cup of water so they can see it doesn’t get back to the same level when adding 50% of the remaining 50%
I’ll share the vid, it’s quite long. Apparently this all went down seven years ago but I only watched the video recently

Essentially:
Man calls up Verizon and asks what the roaming rate is.
Verizon rep tells him verbally it is “zero point zero zero two cents” per kb
He confirms it’s “zero point zero zero two cents” per kb and asks them to note that on his account
Verizon rep writes it down on the account as $0.002 (i.e. zero point zero zero two dollars).
He is charged for his usage, which comes out to something like $75.35 for his usage, which is one hundred times more than he expects.
He calls up Verizon and asks them to explain. He confirms that the quoted rate was 0.002c
They say yes, it is zero point zero zero two cents, while they are looking at a written rate of $0.002.
He then spends hours trying to explain to multiple reps that just because the value is after the decimal point, it doesn’t make the units into cents overall, you still have to look at the quoted unit, which was written down as $0.002 i.e. dollars
The reps do not understand the difference. They repeatedly multiply his kb total by $0.002, while saying that it’s ‘zero point zero zero two cents’ and arriving at the $73.35 total and telling him that it’s the correct amount.
If it sounds like it should be simple, yes, it is as simple an error as you think and yes the reps repeatedly fail to understand $0.002 isn’t the same as 0.002c. it isn’t that they misread 0.002c as 0.2c, their system units were always in $, and they for whatever reason think that $0.002 is ‘zero point zero zero two cents’
He is eventually given 50% off his bill after it goes up the chain He complains again, then his bill is waived.
Partially relevant: I watched this video the other day about some guy who was quoted 0.002c per kb for Verizon roaming data charges, but was charged $0.002 per kb. He goes through multiple excruciating customer service rep calls repeating the same basic point that they got the units wrong in the calculations, and none of them understand the error, including the refund team. Essentially they see ‘figure after the decimal point’ means we are now dealing with ‘cents’, not .002 of a dollar, so they repeat that he was being charged 0.002c despite the contrary.
Long way to say, I am not shocked in the slightest by ‘fuzzy maths’ being used for percentage reductions
Lmaooo that’s kinda cute though, call it a snot rod
TIL as well I always thought it was figurative not literal too
I fucking knew it. There’s a tech reviewer whose stuff I started watching recently, and I noticed that the audio in his recent videos were choppy/bubbly, like, almost unlistenably so, then in a video he released yesterday he mentions that he’s using an AI software to ‘level and clean up’ his audio. Insta unsub. I’ve unsubbed from podcasts that do this too, the audio is so distracting and artificial i hate it
