You're saying that the player pays a dollar each time they decide to "double-or-nothing"? I was thinking they'd only be risking the dollar they bet to start the game.
That change in the ruleset would definitely tilt the odds in the house's favor.
That was my first thought too. What's this orb pondering business everyone's on about?
Surely there's a difference between an animated movie loosely inspired by a traditional story with original songs, character designs, and dialogue, and remaking that movie beat-for-beat with just a few scenes changed for pandering.
Those are pretty awesome! Thanks, I think I can get a lot of benefit from them.
Been awhile since I've watched it too, but given that Tellarite culture revolves around things we see as rudeness, do we really know for sure that runts are seen as or treated as lesser?
Well, the OP spelled out their criteria explicitly.
these should be episodes that can work with a minimum number of sets- In The Pale Moonlight could work on a single set. It's Only a Paper Moon could work with two. DS9 and holodeck/Vic's club.
no special effect and modest-to-minimal practical effects- In both cases the episode is carried out through dialogue.
amateur though dedicated actors- This one's a little harder to quantify, so I'll leave that up to OP's judgement.
In addition, they deal with themes that are relatable without being exposed to the context of the story. Moreso It's Only a Paper Moon than In The Pale Moonlight.
Does it work now? I think I forgot to add the instance.
Sorry about that. I tried to follow the instructions given in the sticky.
I feel that privilege is a concept that should be applied to classes, not individuals. You can't just judge someone as privileged based on one aspect of their life.
The whole "punching up" concept just leads to it being accepted to make misogynistic jokes at white women, ablist and body-shaming jokes at "creepy" men, racist jokes at wealthy Asians, and so on.
Rather, I think the intent behind the joke, and the consequences of the stereotypes it reinforces, is what should be examined rather than the demographic on the receiving end.
That would be better. But I don't think there needs to be a rule at all. Some questions are more suited to Watsonian answers, some to Doylist answers, and users are perfectly capable of judging which is which for themselves. The only rule that was needed was, perhaps, a rule against low-effort responses of either sort.
I don't know if that applies to this scenario. In this game, the player is always in the lead until they aren't, but I don't see how that works in their favor.
