Why waste the oil? Turn it into gravy, or mayonnaise, or store it to sell to a recycling center that will turn it into biofuel.

Republican Voters Against Trump have been running veteran billboards for a while. The DNC has been running billboards calling him and anti-union scab.

I think the chicken angle hits a bit different though, a lot of people write off everything trump says as just talk, and many attacks seem to get ignored as slander, but the fact he's unwilling to debate is a plain and uncontested fact, one that makes him look weak.

Eh, back in 2e Polymorph worked a lot like True Polymorph does in 5e, in 3e it was called Polymorph Any Object. I think a lot of players just call it Polymorph, even though there's a level four spell with the same name, especially if the context of the situation makes it clear which spell is being used. At least that's how it goes at my table, but every group is different.

Only if it's the 4th level version, which is impermanent anyway. 9th level polymorph has rules for objects: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/True%20Polymorph#content

True Polymorph can turn people into objects.

Whiteness, at least from a racist perspective, isn't really about skin color, it's more like a club for 'approved' ethnicities. There's many Italians with darker skin than Mexicans, but Italians are considered 'white' and Mexicans are not. Same for large parts of the Middle East and Asia.

Romani are white skinned Europeans, but they're not 'racist approved', so they make up rumors they're actually from Egypt and omit them from the White Club.

The determination for what counts as white is highly inconsistent. Before the 1700s Germans were not considered white. Before the 1800s Irish were not considered white. For a time in the 1900s Finnish people were considered Asian (while many Finns were striking for better working conditions, what an odd coincidence). Italians weren't considered white until about a hundred years ago. It goes on and on.

The article is about events in Canada.

It’s gotten to the point where incel just means “a guy who believes men and women should be equal”.

No, that's not even remotely true, and it's not what your previous comment was saying either.

Incels are essentially misogynists with a sexual fixation. Like classical misogynists tend to be more occupied with women having jobs or holding positions of power, while incels tend to be more upset about women's sexual habits, but both are preoccupied with hating on women they deem to be misbehaving.

I think the part of your previous comment that gave the most 'incel vibes' was the bit about women begging for attention after 'hitting the wall' in their 20s. Maybe you intended it as a comment on women who regretted not taking relationships more seriously in their 30s, but it came off as a sort of fantasy where the women who transgressed your model of how ladies should act get their just desserts.

Then why does going faster also make it easier to balance on something without steering, like a snowboard?

My assumption is that when you're standing still relative to the ground you can fall in many directions, but once you start moving momentum limits the directions you can fall to the ones in line with your motion. So the faster you're moving the fewer directions you need to worry about.

Worker bees are all genetically diverse, but the drones are masculinized clones of the queen. The queen's flying dicks.

They explode on penetration, breaking off from the drone, causing him to die soon after.
