    I would call that resourcefulness, and make productivity a function of resourcefulness × efficiency.

    No, he didn't do anything to touch the economy until 2017 with that tax scam for the wealthy. And we saw the results of that with the Trump slump of the second half of 2018 - where he then bitched at the Treasury to reinstate quantitative easing (which built us up for the inflation shock post covid). But none of those had such crazy results as tanking the global economy overnight.

    I always enjoyed browsing 'new'. Both here and on that other site you might know of. Personally i dont like the bots here. They just clutter the timeline IMHO. I visit 'social media' for a feed which is pre-curated by humans. I'd rather use RSS if i wanted a constant stream of news articles without curation by others. The problem i see on lemmy is that in rare cases the bot posts still get user engagement which i miss out on if i just outright filter the bots out. Its nothing i lose sleep over and the situation as is... is alright i guess. But if i had anything to say and had a choice i would outright ban them. But tbh i didnt think through the consquences.

    That time I ate way too much cubensis and was molecularly taken apart and put together again by the void, that was fun.

    I feel like I should have provided context, but I more wanted vibes. I'm making a rpg with 5 classes, and I am dead set on the only spellcasting class being the Wizard. So, the clericish class has to have some other role. Settled on something closer to a Bard as the main thing, where you can make an Inspiration pool of d6s that your party can scoop up dice from to add to their attack rolls and skill checks. Most of the obvious stuff that would normally belong to clerics, druids, warlocks, and paladins is all bolted to the sides and corners of the alignment chart. I'm looking for how to flesh out the meat of the class, the core stuff that everyone gets. If you're curious, these are the 5 classes: Fighter: A mix of Fighter, Barbarian, and historically accurate knight stuff Apostle: Depending on your alignment and choices, either a Cleric, a Druid, a Paladin, a Warlock, or some mix of all four Ranger: In addition to normal ranger stuff, this is also the Spy class. Xia: Cultivation genre stuff like shattering bones with your guitar, riding your flying sentient sword, and summoning demonic spirits to fight your enemies. Also, punching real good. Wizard: You have a big ass spellbook which you copy spell scrolls from, and if you do really well you can start forging magic artifacts in your wizard tower.

    As a dude, I want to believe that it's less than it is because that's just wholly unreasonable that women have to put up with that.

    https://www.fda.gov/food/guidance-documents-regulatory-information-topic-food-and-dietary-supplements/milk-guidance-documents-regulatory-information Bro, there's regulatory guidelines on how much hepatitis can be in plasma before they have to throw it out. Don't have opinions on things you don't know anything about, there's blood, bugs, and shit in your food and everything is not based on the question "is there any" but "is there an unsafe amount?"

    Worth is largely contextual no? eg, if you're offering it to a drowning man, that jar is worth less than nothing. But hopefully that jar had good parents that built up its esteem, so that in any context it has the greatest gift of all: self-worth.

    Its impossible for me to subscribe to a youtuber because I don't have (and don't want) a Youtube account. I understand Youtubers get more visibility with more subscriptions, but I just don't want to be part of the algorithm. I can close my private browser, and any algorithm infection is wiped clean from my view.

    As a non native speaker, it really irks me when people mix up "brake" and "break", specially among car enthusiasts.
