I think that's common now. It's at least the same where I live.
But way back you could smoke anywhere in a restaurant, etc. even on planes, at one point.
Ah yes, the four passions of the dwarf:
- Mining
- Brewing
- Smithing
Homophobiaagressive celibacy
Remember when they didn't have smoking sections, you were allowed to smoke anywhere?
Wait, what criticism?
I've never heard anything bad about it, I just never got around to reading it (it's not really my jam).
You're gonna end up with an empty feed real quick 😭
I don't think I've ever read it, tbh... But growing up in Atlantic Canada, she is inescapable.
Anne of Black Gables
copilot prompt
Anne of Green gables, as a goth. she standing before a large summoning circle, with a small bloody ornate dagger, attempting to summon a demon. behind her are altars covered with candles and occult memorabilia. her expression is wild and dangerous. very dark background. intense atmosphere.
I'ma be honest, the little I know of black metal fashion comes from Vegan Black Metal Chef, but as always, once I got an idea in my head I couldn't let go of it.
I bet a group can make someone truly beautiful and creative, together
I wasn't taking about new fields. I was talking about resource partial updates (eg PATCH, or commonly the U in CRUD).
If you just want to update a single field on a resource with 100 fields, rather than GETting the entire resource, updating the single field, and PUTting whole thing back, just do a PATCH with the single field.
Likewise if you're POSTing a resource that has nullable fields, but the default value isn't null, how do you indicate that you want the default value for a given field? Do you have to first query some metadata API? That doesn't seem ideal, when this existing pattern exists
Imagine you're writing a CRUD API, which is pretty common.
If null attributes aren't included in the payload, and someone does an update (typically a PATCH), how do you know which fields should be nulled out and which should be ignored?
I agree for many cases the two are semantically equivalent, but it's common enough to not have them be equivalent that I'm surprised that it causes arguments
For many uses it is semantically the same.
But for cases where you need to know if something was intentionally set to null or was simply not set, the difference is enormous.
Ah yes the difference between "unset" and "intentionally set to null", the bane of API devs who work in languages that don't inherently distinguish between the two.
I love when an API takes a json payload, and one of the json fields is a string that contains json, so I have to serialize/deserialze in stages 😭
I really tried to get it to generate Mac from the film Mac and Me, but it just wouldn't
What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?
Horror movies, extreme sports, thrill-seeking, it's all weird.
Edit\ Changed the title and added an extra line to make it clear I'm talking about the fear response, and not specifically about extreme sports
Not to count my chickens before they hatch, but I think I've decided my next contest theme, if I win one in the near future

I know FNAF is a "kids game" but putting it next to the Care Bears seems a bit excessive lol

Unexpected Astronaut!
What could possibly be unexpected, unusual, or surprising about astronauts or the situations they find themselves in?

It's bullshit that the opposite of "impeachable" is "unimpeachable" instead of "peachable"

Now that isekai has firmly established itself as a subgenre in western storytelling (although it has always been there in some form), it got me thinking about what to call the subgenres of isekai itself.
If isekai itself is being transported to another world/universe, and reverse isekai is someone from another world being transported to ours... Then what do we call someone from another world being transported to another other wold? Or someone from our world being transported to another time in our world? Do these have names already?
Setting aside if we like or appreciate isekai, if they don't have genres names yet I thought it'd be funny to come up with our own. What do you think we should call all the sub-subgenres?
This cow is clearly a boss, IDC what you say.
Scientists couldn't find the head of the starfish. Turns out, the entire thing is head, it's the body that is missing.
I had an idea for an offensive consumable item, and I figured I’d share it and get some feedback. Its power scales with the user, so it should presumably be pretty rare. on consuming, it casts a spell, but I didn’t want to make the spell separately so I’m just describing the item as though it was a spell too. it perhaps tries to do a bit too much, but I thought it wouldn’t be the same if I took away any particular aspect.
#The Martyr’s Evil Eye
- range/area: self / sphere 5ft + 5ft for every level of exhaustion sacrificed
- duration: instantaneous
- damage: necrotic / remaining caster HP + 1/3 max HP for every death save sacrificed
- save: CHA save for half-damage
A black marble with faint green swirls, that seem to move when seen out the corner of the eye. With a willing sacrifice of life force and stamina, the marble cracks open and a necrotic aura radiates out, quickly obscuring those within the sphere. Flashes of green light from within briefly silhouette nightmarish creatures. The aura expands out, reaching its maximum size, before popping like a bubble and exposing the haggard survivors and withered bodies of the dead. The fragments of the marble turn to dust.
Item must be in contact with the caster. All creatures within the radius of the sphere, including the caster, take damage equivalent to the caster’s remaining HP. The caster may increase the damage by 1/3 of their max HP for every death saving throw they sacrifice. All creatures, except the caster, take half-damage on a successful CHA saving throw. Radius of the sphere is 5ft plus an additional 5ft for every level of exhaustion sacrificed.
The item is for self-sacrifice in a moment of desperation. The more you sacrifice, the more damage is dealt, but the lower your chances of escape and survival. Sacrifice more of your own life force to deal more damage to each enemy, sacrifice your exhaustion to deal damage to more enemies. If you sacrifice all 3 death throws, or all 6 levels of exhaustion, then you’re instantly dead, but you deal the maximum damage to maximum enemies.
I thought that an item that always killed the user was kind of boring, so i included the part about death saves. I included the part about exhaustion so that even if the unconscious character is immediately healed back to consciousness, there are still lasting repercussions that make rejoining the fight or even fleeing difficult. Plus it fit thematically - health for health, and effort/exhaustion to cover area.
I also imagined the exhaustion bit as a ring, where you could increase range/area of a spell by spending levels of exhaustion.
What are your thoughts? Its kind of mechanically complicated, but I didn’t know how to simplify it without losing something too much character.
