    Why was writing invented so few times throughout history?

    From what I’ve seen, writing was independently invented somewhere between 3 to 6 times. With so many languages and linguistic communities, why have so few independently invented writing?

    Without getting into too much detail, I experienced an incredibly traumatic event a few years ago. My biggest fear is having that event happen again.

    That is very clearly not what I’m saying. That’s not transphobic, but constantly talking about it and shouting how disgusting you find trans bodies and how you’d never fuck them is transphobic. Nobody online cares about your sexual preference; it only matters to your sex partners.

    Who the fuck cares if someone isn’t into trans people? We’ve heard it a million times. It’s transphobic because 9 times out of 10, the person saying it isn’t just neutrally expressing a presence they happen to have; they’re saying it because it’s a more socially acceptable way to talk about how disgusting they find our bodies.

    Here’s another one: Capitalists want to pay their workers as little as they can get away with. But they want workers to spend as much money on their products as possible.

    So any given capitalist will underpay their own workers for short-term profit and expect workers to spend extra money on their products. But those workers’ employers do the same thing, so those workers don’t have enough spending money left over to buy their products. At a large scale, this is not a sustainable system.

    Not quite. Brits don’t pronounce the R before a consonant, but the vowel will be more similar to the vowel in “paw” than in “ash.”

    No more than one level in any class; can you make it work?

    Note that this is subtly different from the “one level in every class” thing; this is about taking your levels one at a time, starting from level 1, rather than a fully-finished level 13 concept. Could this be at all viable? What order would you go with?

    Infinite isn’t synonymous with all-encompassing; the decimal expansion of 1/3 will go on forever (0.3333333…), but it’s never going to contain a 4.

    If I am, the dream is indistinguishable from real life, and is therefore not relevant to me in any way, shape, or form.

    Is it just me, or is the ranger capstone still fairly underwhelming?

    Like, I know it’s better that it was, and it’s probably quite strong mathematically. But… just getting to add extra to your attack and damage rolls doesn’t feel very cool flavor-wise or mechanics-wise. I’m a 20th level character; I want a power that makes me feel like some kind of demigod. Not something that just makes number go up. I think it stems from a lack of class identity in the base ranger: nobody, least of all WotC, can quite decide what it should be. If your idea of the ranger is focused on having a pet, then an ability that helps with fighting monsters isn’t very good. But if you are a monster hunter, then something that boosts companion animals is useless. So what’s the solution? Given that so much of the ranger’s identity comes from the subclass, I think the ranger should take a page from the paladin’s book (er, chapter) and make the capstone ability a subclass feature.

    What's the oddest thing you've ever done in the Sims?

    I realized my parent sim was going to die before his child grew up, so I had him build a Servo to become the child's new caretaker after his death.

    I guess I should get this started - what is your favorite spell in D&D 5e?

    I'm not asking the most powerful, but your personal favorite. Mine is Bigby's Hand; it's hilarious and I love it. (And since Mage Hand isn't concentration, you can have them both active at the same time and make them high-five!)
