The "kept disappearing during their shifts" part implies it did not happen during break time, or at least for one of them

Good God. That's horrible. I'm so, so sorry.

Instructions unclear, from now on voting for the hottest candidate in the election

I think going AWOL to fuck when you work in the ICU is a few extra levels of bad. Putting peoples' lives at risk to get laid? I'm not surprised, I'm just disappointed

Briak

Fellas, is it gay to avoid having the shit kicked out of you?

I don't know if the data says more or less people gamble now than before

I've got some "fun" data for you:

Nearly 130,000 Ontarians now show signs of gambling problems, compared with roughly 43,000 in 2018, a tripling of the number of people who meet the criteria of gambling too frequently, losing money and struggling with addiction.

[...]

AGRI researcher Carrie Shaw says the research is "brand new" and significant, showing that six months after Ontario’s private [online] casinos opened in 2022, the number of problem gamblers in the province climbed while dropping in the rest of Canada.

[...]

A study published in the September 2026 American Journal of Preventive Medicine found a dramatic jump in the number of people with gambling disorders showing up at Ontario hospital emergency departments in distress.

A March 2026 study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) found a 95.5 per cent increase in men and boys making gambling-related calls to ConnexOntario, the province's 24-hour mental health and addictions help line, over the last decade.

All of the above. In fact, to be safe, don't do anything ever.

Serbia's election is a blow to Putin, which by extension is a blow to Trump

Briak

Just for further notice, of course

Man, I really need to get back to playing this. I played for a couple hours but couldn't really get the hang of the controls so it went away to my "postponed until I have the time and energy 2gitgud" list

Briak

But you can grab a beer with him after.

And it'll only cost you a buck. Oh wait.

You know, Gangrel likes to live a "gothic lifestyle" (he watches hockey)

Thanks, it does. Gonna hit the blackjack table again, I knew I was missing something!

Briak

No, NO!!!

"So his codename is Havoc. Isn't that cliche?"

Over half my life i've been trying to beat this blessed game and I finally did it, on a bad race/class combo I did as a joke.

My first ever victory was with an orc wizard that I also made as a joke but turned out to be surprisingly strong.

Congrats! I think the only real thing I dislike about ADOM is that when you eventually win, it feels like finishing the best book you've ever read, and you're left wondering "ok, what now?"

Briak

Damn it. Guess it's time to reinstall!

Briak

Oh good, I LOVE a crowd!

Briak

It's not irrational at all.

This crop makes it look like he has a massive scrotum

Fuck the Eagles, fuck the Panthers, let's go Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp

Please, when ukraine/russia war broke out, how many companies and representatives of companies got fired for supporting ukraine and their ukrainian coworkers?

How many opera singers held up Ukrainian flags during the curtain call of their performance? Please, if you can, find me one example.

Edit: Thread now locked, thanks mods. Anyhow, the example below is completely different from what I asked for. An orchestra deciding officially to wear lapel pins during their performances is completely different from a single person acting alone to disrupt the curtain call.
