    LinkedIn is like a tenth as bad as others. At least it is (still, somewhat) marginally useful.

    Well the ads percentage in the feed keeps going up. And more AI generated crap. But show me a social network (that isn’t Lemmy) where that isn’t true.

    Counterpoint. If she is high enough fey, this creates so many opportunities for the DM to fuck with the player in fun and creative ways.

    Eg: spell fails, but she pretends it works. Discount applied, item is cursed. Etc. All charm spells cast by user now have inverse effects, and their feet smell bad.









  • This is a real phenomenon. Men are more attractive when they’re already in a relationship.

    There are similar psychological effects that exist elsewhere. A job applicant is more attractive if they currently have a job. A scholarship application is more attractive if you list your existing scholarships. The effect is basically: someone else found you desirable, and therefore I must also.

    The effect is so strong that it encourages people to fake it to gain the benefits.
