In engineering ethics class yesterday one of my classmates said piña coladas should be considered a fundamental human right
Naturally, another classmate suggested that getting caught in the rain should be a human right as well
Then the first classmate admitted he didn't actually know what a piña colada was
Do you know why drop % worked years ago? Because they werent RNG dependant, they were random drops. Random back then actually followed a set average, so you would approach the average (and actual drop chance) if you killed said mob often enough.
What we have these days is a horrid system because average no longer applies to it. You could kill a mob a thousand times and never approach the average on its common drops. That is why people complain about RNG.
i'm trying to understand what they're trying to say, and failing
i think they thought that random numbers in MMOs used to not actually be random but make sure that the drop percentages would actually track or something?
I'm beginning to suspect that the show's true purpose is to create unlikable characters, each unlikable in their own way, and then find different ways to hurt them for the audience's amusement.

A mysterious option showed up in my Avast scan settings after the last update
I'm tempted to try it out but I don't know if it's safe...

Any grammar nerds around?
I have a professor who likes to remind us that certain assignments are to be done "in pen"
So, people saying "Glinda the good is evil! Why didn't she tell Dorothy at the beginning that her slippers could take her home".
So, in the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the good witch that Dorothy meets in munchkinland when she first lands in Oz is not Glinda the Good (of the south). Dorothy meets the good witch of the North, whose name I cannot remember.
But North-witch doesn't know that the slippers can take Dorothy home, she doesn't know what magic they can do or if they can do magic. (The only reason Glinda the south-witch knows at the end is because she has a book that writes down almost everything that happens in real time. She doesn't have the time to read everything, but she can use her book to learn almost anything she needs to know. Things just need to be brought to her attention first.).
As for "Why didn't the good witches free the munckins and winkies from East-witch and West-witch respectively", North-witch answers that herself in the book, she says that when she was younger, she would have been powerful enough to defeat east-witch, but now she is old and all she can do is stop east-witch from invading the north, and grant magical protection to as many munchkins as she can.
As for "Why didn't the Good Witches use magic to take Dorothy home". DOrothy asks that, but no witch is able to do that. North-Witch tells Dorothy to go to the Wizard because the Wizard originally came to oz from Kansas in a hot-air balloon, and is the only person to have ever made it between the lands of Kansas and Oz.
As for "Why didn't the good witch use magic to protect Dorothy from the beginning". She did. She gave Dorothy a magic kiss on the forehead as a protection charm, which is why the flying monkeys were unable to kill her (West-Witch sent the monkeys to kill, not capture).
Glinda learns about the slippers after the Wizard's balloon goes off without Dorothy. After Dorothy is stranded, the people of emerald city tell her to go to Glinda. Dorothy consults Glinda, Glinda consults her book, and the rest is history.
At no point do the good witches lie to Dorothy, manipulate her, withhold help or information, or do anything less than their best to help Dorothy.
Sorry, it just bugs me that characters who were nothing but helpful and kind in the books get remembered as being cynical manipulators withholding crucial information.
Yeah, he's a jerk who deposed the king Pastoria of Oz and collaborated with a wicked witch to hide the princess Ozma where nobody, not even Glinda's book, could ever find her. His potions are all basically placebos, and the emerald city isn't even green,he just makes everyone wear green glasses, ostensibly to protect them from the glare (The peopel of Oz really are quite innocent and gullible).
He kinda reforms in some of the later books, and accepts that he has, in fact, been a very bad man, and needs to not cheat people.

This actually makes a lot of sense. Also, I remember that the Good Witches had already expended a lot of power in their youth defeating two of four Wicked Witches who ruled the four cardinal dominions of Oz, the two remaining in the East and West being particularly nasty.
It also has a curiously strong LGBT following for the simple reason that it is about being an outsider who goes on wondrous adventures, is accepted in this strange new land, and yet still manages to return to one's place of origin and be accepted once more. That is a powerful fantasy for some people. And, well, really sad.
The ASPCA refused to allow the horses to be dyed; instead, technicians tinted them with lemon, cherry, and grape flavored powdered gelatin to create a spectrum of white, yellow, red, and purple. They had to be prevented from licking the colored powder off themselves between takes.
considering what happened with the Witch and the Tin Man, this is probably for the better

and is accepting of people she meets, however unconventional or ostracized
on a more superficial level, the movie has a lot of camp which appealed to gay audiences of the time, and of course there's the image of the rainbow
Judy Garland actually wound up being something of a gay icon

You know The Hound of the Baskervilles is as much Watson's story as it is Holmes's, seeing as how Watson does a great share of the detective work himself

Couldn't have timed it better if I tried.

And...that phrasing seems odd to me?
Surely it'd be more natural to say "in ink"...

Mostly because emerald green is my favourite colour.

I think a former Wicked Witch of the North/south (defeated, and with very little power) is the one who collaborated with the wizard to hide Ozma.
Nothing wrong with that, really.
