Actually, like most sitcoms of that era, it was filmed in front of a live studio audience, it's not a canned laugh track. The reason it lasts just long enough to overlap audio is because the actors wait for the laughter to die down before continuing. The whole point of the laughter isn't to make it funnier to the viewer, it's so the actors can see how the jokes land and tweak their performance, it's constant feedback. It's done for the same reason comedy has an audience even when it is a filmed special.

The DC to convince the hangman is 5, the DC to convince the head guy is 20. DC stands for Difficulty Check and it is the number you have to pass or meet on your roll + bonuses.

Autism

It's also worth pointing out it's not a mental disorder, it's a developmental disorder, it just tends to also have co-current mental disorders. People with autism are not automatically mentally ill (not that there is anything wrong with that).

If you can talk your way out of it in person the account isn't frozen, at most it is flagged as potential fraud. Most bank fraud departments have first line fraud detection analysts in a call center where if the system detects fraud that department are the only ones who can remove the account freeze and if they get even a whiff of suspicion from a "customer" calling in to get the freeze removed it gets pushed up the line to specialists whose whole job is to do deep investigations into accounts to catch potential fraudsters. The first line might have you get in person to a branch for ID verification but the fraud department are usually still the ones who have to manually remove the freeze once it hits the work queue.

Putting an account negative like that on purpose is an easy ticket to the bank being audited. Hell doing it on accident would probably get the bank audited.

Well since pokemon legends arceus tells us that the shrinking to go in the pokeball is done by the pokemon and not some technoscience in the ball, they could just change size and get out

Maybe cause most archetypical examples people can think of are going to be from Hollywood and that pushes a muscled bodytype but the reason women are attracted to them is every reason but the bodytype. Look at the descriptors again, they are all based around the vibe.

This whole thread is dudes missing the forest for the trees.

Yeah it doesn't actually matter which way you take it, just that it is consistent. Won't actually help your liver more either way since the stuff that can harm your liver is actually one of metabolites of the medication made when your liver turns it into usable estrogen not the medication itself.

People worried about their liver should be doing patches or injections if possible.

This is like the backbone of a lot of hip-hop and EDM. It's been a major thing for a while. You are probably just noticing the the full range of songs that do it because they are current, over time the bad and average ones will be weeded out and fall from memory and the good transcendent ones will be remembered just in time for you to notice it with a new decade of music.

Because something about them triggers the shrinking pokemon can do, and if a pokemon doesn't want to get in the ball it just doesn't get caught

Said game also includes a mechanic where you can get big versions of the pokemon and there is gigantimax in sword and shield where they become kaiju sized
