that's what libreddit and the like are for. Reddit (for now) just has too many old questions that were answered really well and in depth, or just were the only real findings when looking for answers in small areas.

Lol, don't feed the troll, matey.

Because the idea of lawful/chaotic NOW draws from the dnd heritage, which has watered down the concepts to 'follows laws' and 'breaks laws' and sadly, most of these pictured assholes 'follow' the laws because their kind got to write the laws. Trump is basically the only exception, and is also basically the only one who is questionably a billionaire.

Huh. I actually haven't seen any mention of that since the community for reporting it / sympathizing/fantasizing about it shut down. Are people still getting them?

I start considering price, value, but also have to consider if it’s a garbage product or not, oh hey, do we need dried noodles

Yeah, none of that is bad, but when my partner decides that it takes five minutes a product for each decision, I get annoyed. If you can't figure it out in five seconds, the differences are obviously not a big enough deal.

Lol, I don't even have a map in my head. I walk the same route every time, because I get the same items every time. If I want variety or spice in my food life, I can go to a restaurant once a month. The rest of the time food can be as bare, repetitive, and thus simple as possible.

The biggest problem with d&d axes is that people try to pick an alignment and then have their character's actions come from it (and the resulting frequently induced cross-table talk with the eye-rolling phrase "a lawful/neutral/chaotic good/neutral/evil character wouldn't do that! You're X/Y, so you wouldn't do that!").

No real person has every action fall within one of the outlying boxes' bounds. Actually 'moving' yourself from the neutral spot is (supposed to be) beyond most mortals.

A throwback to a series of books that (almost) no one talking about the D&D alignment axes (the axes came from the ideas of the books) knows of anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric_of_Melnibon%C3%A9 There are actual gods/forces of law and chaos.

It's why he's not a billionaire. Zing!

And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

I'd like to point out, 'proper' jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is 'up to a year,' but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.

Wait... isn't ~1,000 per 100,000 much closer to 1% than 2%?

It's still mind boggling, not trying to minimize it.

Dehydration is a common cause for cats to be 'ill' and brought to the vet,* so it could be that their piss reeks because they are having to concentrate it so much in the first place.

*source: a dimly remembered conversation with a vet friend when I asked her why she was adding water to the already wet food for her cat. She said her cat could never be encouraged to drink enough, so it was her way of staving off the annoyance of giving iv fluids to her own animal someday.
