You're marginally less likely to roll a 7 with a single weighted die.

My reasoning: if you use your weighted die, whoever you're gambling against might figure it out. Now they're pissed, they're gonna give you the beat down. But you're packing, and OH SHIT YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO HIT HIM IN THE HEAD YOU WERE AIMING FOR HIS LEG SHIT SHIT and now you're serving jail time for manslaughter and dice aren't allowed in jail, thus you won't be able to roll any 7s for a while.

Once something is posted publicly, there's no "privacy" about it. Disappearing messages and stuff like that doesn't really help. There's nothing to be done about content scraping (which has been going on for decades).

"Listen honey, mommy raised you pretty much on her own because the patriarchy normalized men not contributing to the nurture of their family, and now mommy is one ring stain away from a total mental breakdown complete with arson, okay?"

Brainwashed by what, MTG? Is it the Jewish space lasers again?

Samurai Jack. I still enjoy it as an adult (an interesting case study in storytelling using a minimum of voice/narration).

I got so pumped when foghorn memes were a thing for a week or two.

I'm 37 with two young kids. I don't play as much as I did before marriage and kids, but I still find time. Mainly in the evenings when everyone else has gone to bed (though that's also time I might put toward other hobbies).

I also have a weekly time set up with some buddies, which is especially great since social time also took a big hit with having kids.

My left monitor is placed more directly in front, while my right monitor is more angled. I generally use the left as my "primary" and the right as the "secondary", though they're identical otherwise.

They're helpful to determine the general community's take on something, even if there is little other engagement.

And if I'm being honest, getting upvotes is a sweet hit of dopamine. But I try to keep things in perspective.

I'm a senior with a good boss, I pretty much just ignore it. And fortunately, at least in my company, most people have done that (especially with the safety critical stuff). But management still has a way of making your life miserable when you stand your ground on this kind of thing, so it's also common to just tell them some bullshit and go about your job.

Any instance can simply say, "we're full". But it's up to the instances themselves--it wouldn't make sense to impose an arbitrary limit, because each instance has different capabilities.

But normalizing instance membership limiting seems sensible for a network with this model.
