One of the biggest joys of social media is seeing a friend post "looking forward to eating a good sandwich tomorrow", and then later follow this up with "I had the sandwich, it was good" You sure did, friend. The plan went perfectly. The obstacles were surmounted. A small victory for the ages

What you think DnD is: fast paced action with swords and spells swirling around each other What it actually is: a fight against a lvl 1 rat has gone on for 40 minutes, mostly consisting of a heated debate about whether critical hits mean double damage or instakill. the rat would've died either way

Inside of you is a severe overpopulation of deer. Somewhere along the line, the wolves disappeared. Your inner ecosystem is in severe disarray. Trees that should be used by beavers to dam rivers and create wetland biomes are eaten at an early stage by deer. The deer are everywhere. So, so many deer

People get confused by Bourdieu, until it is pointed out that the question he tries to answer is "how come these people, who have never met and never talked to each other, still tend to look alike when they inevitably show up in the situations they show up?" there's no conspiracy; it just happens

It's a story as old as time you infiltrate a cult that claims to have access to supernatural powers, because they have free food, and then they catch you and subject you to their lethal ascension ritual to get rid of you, but you accidentally survive and gain powers, so now you run a small cult café

Fundamentally, it's criticism declaring its autonomy. A well-written critique which lays out its case using all the tools of the trade, arriving at a logically coherent conclusion, should not be a priori refuted by an annoyed author taking five seconds of their precious time to say "no it isn't"
