Might be worth checking !thelyricsgame@lemmy.ca if you like that kind of puns/images/challenges

Out of curiosity is it May be later if I meet a nice artist but bla blabla or it’s gross and disgusting?

Are these a normal things in the US or just a movie thing? Because we didn’t have that

Story time? Seems so crazy

Went to public school, so no uniform, nowadays, even the weird all girl catholic school in my hometown ggot rid of uniform, but some right winger are trying to bring it back in public schools

Block Lemmygrad, hexbear, and may-be even .ml if your instance doesn’t

Don’t browse the c/ starting with politics/worldnews and similar

Keep on relax, cool, communities. places like !foodporn@lemmy.world, !jukebox@sh.itjust.works or even !imageai@sh.itjust.works should be pretty safe compared to !world@lemmy.world

Completely free of desire

Nanannanaa nananana nana freed from desire

Now I have that song stuck in head for the day

Useful for what?

As a kind of joke, look at these senior citizen doing tai chi in the park, while many 80 years old can’t walk without a cane. Looks like pretty useful.

Judo or Aïkido will teach you how to fall, which may save you a visit to the ER if you slip on the street, and pretty useful again.

It’s also a fun way to exercise and stay in shape, so again, it’s useful

This is what brought the pirate bay guys in jail, why the scihub girl is seen as a criminal by the US, and what caused reddit founder Aaron Schwarz suicide

In democratic countries, each candidate/party has the same right to speech during election campaign. So stuff like short clip for each candidates and either multi party debates or second round (where applicable) debate

IMO, the big American bias in heroic fantasy RPG including D&D is how empty (most) settings are. If you travel (nowadays by car) in rural Europe, you’d find village every 5-10km, turns out that people walking to their field don’t like to spend more than 1h commuting. While on some high fantasy map, you have like 3 day of walk through a dangerous forest, or an endless plain without much settlements.

Also it’s worth mentioning that many European major roads/highway have been built at first by the Roman, and have been modernized through history. So again, middle age wasn’t as empty, salvage as many D&D settings. Which indeed looks more like frontier era US.

Getting people to pay for digital media in the era of mass piracy (Spotify, Deezer, Netflix)

Starting a taxi company by ignoring frauding all the regulation related to taxi operation, ( Uber)

Tons of pseudo science like energy therapy which are not much different from straight up witchcraft.

A thought also for real estate developer who buy land in high-flood-risk area, and still manage to sell the houses, these ones also should be in jail

Randomly drawing citizen. Sure politics require some training, but it can be done on the job

Also, countries with proportional votes tend to force politicians to talk with each other more than countries with single representative per district.

Limiting elected official mandates to one or two. If you couldn’t do something in 10 years no reason to think you’ll do it latter

A quick search tell me that in Belgium the minimal wage is 2000€ sauce before tax.

So yes one million is above a lifetime of work for many persons, definitely rich

The whole political discussion about Internet media licensing, like a 10-15€ tax to finance artists while making piracy global. In the end we have the same except it’s financing Internet millionaires over artists

A lot of pretty classic but good advise, There is already a discussion on PvP, but here are two cool ones

Don’t overprepare. I have an inexpensive egg timer. My partner hates its ticking sound. So I use a watch instead. 30 minutes for a session. That’s how much I give myself.

That one is the biggest killer, beginner GM carefully think about tonight tavern, the innkeeper has a name and a description, the bard is going to tell a story about missing kids, there is even a menu for the night. Except that the PC are like There something weird in that town, May-be their food in poisonous we shouldn’t stay too long in the tavern, you’re right let’s camp in the wood and keep watch Tons of stuff prepared by the GM end-up in the garbage (Or for another session). So keep an outline, and as the author said, everything is a bonus.

Keep the game running and review rules after.

Looks like one of the most basic advice. May-be you forgot about how black-smithing works (To take the kind of rules you won’t use any time). But at the end, just find an appropriate skill/mechanics and problem is solved. May-be you missed a point and were too nice/harsh, but at least you didn’t spend 15 minutes re-reading a rules.

Be consistent and predictable.

This is IMO the best way to fix 90% of game planning problem, session occurs at a fixed date, not matter who’s there. Worst case, you do a board game, or have a drink. but if you wait for everyone to be available, you won’t play much

Countries have been “temporarily suspending shengen agreement” for tons of reason without putting the EU at risk. I remember being stuck in trafic over 1h when crossing the French border in the summer 2016, where between a football cup, and the terror attacks, the police was “checking the border” ( to be understood as, police kept only one lane open on the highway, and even as setup a tent and a parking so they can “randomly check” some cars.

I also remember covid time when travelling within EU was involving a lot of paperwork.

Not sure what’s happening right now in Germany, but it’s not the first nor the last time, that the open-borders are suspended.

Welcome here.

Not sure what are reddit friends for anyway. And in general the point of a new account is to see fresh communities/person. I don’t think you can import reddit to lemmy anyway

What about spicy oil? It’s at least how I see it served, but may be there it even more traditional
