DoorDash likely has that service fee and might even charge you more per item too (not to mention charging the restaurant as well). Thus they hit both sides of the transaction from their insidious palace of middleman devilry.

If only we could hold accountable those whose findings were so off base, grounded not in reality but instead serving their interests in perverting reality to serve their ends.

Hmmm. It seems the responsibility falls more in the last 25 years than the previous 250.

I wonder if the founders envisioned the country considering corporations to be people and equating money with speech.

Hard to maintain a healthy democracy when such forces are running wild.

It seems intention and reality are taking a break again.

More than three or four unless the characters are memorable or strategically introduced in a way that doesn't overwhelm?

Do all thirteen dwarves show up in the first chapter of The Hobbit or is it just Gandalf and Bilbo? (Walks away to go check.)

Funny how knowing radically changes your perception of the situation. I hope this makes things way more manageable for you.

So it goes sometimes. There's always tomorrow (as long as you can avoid the errands).

If what I read in The Other Slavery by Andrés Reséndez is accurate, 100 million might not be exaggeration.

Huh. I think we may be living in the time of the orc.

They're like the wizard class in the original Everquest, transcendent killstealers so good you love to hate them. And by hate I mean training half a zone's worth of mobs onto those cloth-wearing ne'er-do-wells and then dancing on their corpses. Ahh, vengeance thy name be Petty. #PartyLikeIts1999

I think someone's love of Bowie led them to watch The Labyrinth and then make an album.

That's right. When I play a game for four to six+ hours straight, I'm clearly building my ability to focus. Yes. No negatives here!!

Damn. That's the spicy meatball.

I guess this means there's hope for you. I think I'm the level of pale where people just assume there is no hope.

That beats opting to fight a duel with a dagger against a rich jaka-lay-lee with a saber because you want to shame the pompous jerk for insulting your party

I saw Demon Hunters pretty close to the new Superman movie. It was annoying having people try to say Superman was good when Hunters was refreshingly great. On so many levels.

The ice cream one has more character. Though I'm not sure you should take advice from someone dressed as Gandalf.

Gideon the Ninth fantasy novel

Gideon the Ninth fantasy novel

Looking for a fantasy read that’s playful and fun and absurd? Check out Gideon the Ninth by Tasmyn Muir.

The characters are interesting, pacing keeps things flowing and mysteries cropping up as the plot unfolds are satisfying.

I'd join you but I'm too busy playing Dispatch for the fourth time (I'm trying really hard to blow off Visi and go Team Mandy). I really need to get off this train--but avoiding grading essays is a full-time job on the weekend.

I got two seasons in but after a while, the writing just seemed uninspired.

Why watch a TV show when you can play Dispatch instead?

I thought this early and often while playing this great, character-rich, story-driven game, where I truly cared about the characters and so I give it a worthy recommendation (check out review on my blog [link in bio]). #VideoGames #Dispatch

What can or should fantasy do as a genre? A little while back I read Jonny Thompson’s “Why Tolkien thought ‘sub-creation’ was the secret to great fantasy and science fiction” and had some thoughts. Check out my blog (proximalpress.com/sub-creation...).
