which is easy to disable (unless changed since I played the last time) if you're fine with playing offline

That's survivorship bias.

There was a time when humans built wineries everywhere and hoped to attract vineyards.

Nowadays, you only see those that attracted one, as all other wineries gave up centuries ago

Yes, but it's a bit hard to get; even in countries that try to improve trans-care rather than reduce it.

There are just so many therapists; the waiting lists are sometimes simply closed because they stretch years.

For many people, these hormones mean the difference between a livable life and extreme dysphoria, depression and suicidality.

If they could get them on the regular way, they would. But the regular way is often full of problems. So some people have to fall back to just do it themself.

I even heard of doctors who do some medical checks under the counter to ensure everything is done as safe as possible (but aren't able to prescribe hormones themself without prior psychotherapeutical indication)

So; your point would be valid in theory, but unfortunately for many trans-people, it's the only way to get their possibly life-saving medication.

Why are people so surprised?

There is money to be made, and we're not used to seeing cashcows beeing left alone

Didn't check the sub in the screenshot, didn't we?

My parents made me regret coming late by being disappointed at me, not by threats.

Why is the wrong version always the one that is posted.

The (in my eyes) correct (and iirc original) version is:

  • Git commit
  • Git push
  • Get out*

*as someone pointed out (and I remember it as well, but thought I rembered it wrong and corrected it, shame on me in this context) the last point may be originally "git out"

The important parts are paint and maintenance.

Give a commie block a fresh coat of paint every decade or so and they can look good (though I just don't like flat roofs. But that's personal taste.)

But while a somewhat run down european style house can still have some charme for longer (guess I'm biased here) a run down commie block in gray and with cracks in the facade will quickly start to look depressing.

And as they are often chosen for cost reasons inside capitalistic environments, they are often neglected.

So, the problem is not commie blocks, but how they are maintained. And as often we tend to search for the extreme examples if we (dis)like something.

Hi,

I want to play some d&d with two friends soon; and the role as dm came to me. (we would want to increase the group size if the first few small adventures run good)

My experience in rpgs is limited to maybe 5 runs (Shadowrun 4th Edition) and a few adventures (two if which I was GM) in "Das Schwarze Auge". But both now over a decade ago.

One of the adventurers in the group has a bit of experience and shouldn't be a problem; the other adventurer (my gf) has never played any rpg before.

I ordered the core rule set (player,master,monster-handbook) bundled with xanathars (and a dm-screen). On top of that enough dices and the book "candlekeep mysteries"

Do I need anything else? Any tipps for preparation? How important is the tabletop aspect i see popping up here in some pics?


edit:

Thanks for all of your tips!

Ich zitiere mal meinen Vater:

"Ich bin Baujahr 42. Natürlich wähle ich Konservativ. Nochmal zerstören die Grünen nicht unser Land.

Das war dann auch schon das Ende seiner Erklärung. Und ich überrascht denn eigentlich würde ich meine Erziehung recht links-liberal nennen ...
