Yeah. Genuinely not fun. Apologies if my initial comment came off as glib.

Some types of testicular cancers produce HCG, which is what most pregnancy tests identify the presence of in urine. HCG could also be used as a treatment method for hypogonadism, but supplementation of exogenous Luteinizing Hormone with LHRH would be a more direct way of both diagnosing and treating hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Anyways, if anyone who reads this ever notices something strange on their testis, talk to a doctor. Peeing on a stick isn't a reliable way of identifying testicular cancer, as many forms won't produce HCG and the negative result on the pregnancy test could lead to a false reassurance.

Grimaces are canonically invertebrates native to Grimace Island and asexually reproduce by budding.

"3K" doesn't translate to any specific resolution, and it's exclusively a thing in higher end laptops afaik. Anything from 2560x1600 to 2736 x 1824 to 2880x1620 to 3260x1834 or other totally random display resolutions are marketed under this label.

Totally unusable terminology.

Any thoughts on the seasonal addition of peppermint to grant +1d4 on all Festiveness rolls?

Wish they would have just stuck with Mega Evolutions or Z-Moves, instead of trying to reinvent the same thing every game.

Check this out: good faith criticism of Stalin coming from a Hexbear admin. We don't ban people or remove their comments just because we disagree with them. We wait til they start slinging slurs or say something so outrageously in bad faith that there's nothing worth continuing.

Letting Yagoda, Yezhov, and Beria operate and purge without accountability or oversight were three major examples of wrongdoing.

While his motivations were anti-eugenicist in nature, Stalin's backing of Lysenko's Neo-Lamarckist agricultural programs were a huge misstep which negatively impacted food security in the socialist world for decades.

Okay, there's two I'm sure you'd agree with. Now it's your turn.

Unfortunately, because Stalin didn't go to medical school as a small child and perform open heart surgery on a grandmother in Tashkent in 1912, he was required to stand down and let Hitler take over the world.

Stalin's greatest crimes were his failures to discover and implement penicillin and the polio vaccine, directly making him at fault for everyone who died of any disease or old age in the Soviet Union.
