The joke being that autumn is called fall and the feywild is a hyper literal world so they were probably going to take fall damage.
A similar one I used to see a lot on Reddit was Europeans saying racism is bad except when it's against Romani people. Like people would unironically just say shit like "no, they're actually all bad."
I'd be upset about the tone, he's speaking a little condescendingly in my opinion, but the reality is that arranged dates have been a thing for a very very long time. It's not embarrassing.
It sounds exploitative because it is exploitative!
"Refuse to get a job" lol. Listen, I've dealt with my state's unemployment insurance claim website and it's awful. Anyway they're gonna implement people proving they're "not refusing to get a job" is going to be poorly thought out and half baked which will inevitably lead to people not getting healthcare.
Fuck no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test
Between the 1850s and 1960s, literacy tests were used as an effective tool for disenfranchising African Americans in the Southern United States. Literacy tests were typically administered by white clerks who could pass or fail a person at their discretion based on race. Illiterate whites were often permitted to vote without taking these literacy tests because of grandfather clauses written into legislation.
What's annoying and nobody seems to grasp is that even if the tax was on the foreign producer instead of the domestic consumer, the end result would be the same thing. They wouldn't just eat the cost lol.
Microsoft's much-heralded Word app was storing documents as unencrypted DOCX files leaving them viewable by any malware.
So, don't mistake this as me telling you you're totally wrong, because you definitely do have a point and it gets under my skin too (that's why I believe licenses like AGPL and, dare I say, SSPL should be used), but many of these companies actively contribute back to the open source software they're using.
Pirate? No, no... A privateer!
Folks who are confused by this, your body doesn't detect when you're low on oxygen, only when you have too much carbon dioxide. That's why exhaling while holding your breath helps you hold your breath longer (to an extent). Nitrogen doesn't caused the sensation of suffocating while still depriving you of oxygen.
I disagree with capital punishment but have always wondered about this for stuff like assisted suicide.

I fought for getting a 4/5 rating at an old job and gave lots of examples. Their argument was that I didn't deserve it because those were just expected. I pointed out my work compared to others in my team and was told that it compares across the company, not the team. I kept causing a fuss about it because I was so angry about it and finally my manager said something about the bonuses has already been communicated and people would be angry to get less. I was confused because I didn't want more money, I was just offended they said I was performing on average when I was going above and beyond every day. It was also really embarrassing to me. If they'd just said the rating doesn't affect anything except your bonus I wouldn't have even cared.
The whole thing is all BS.
