Taking the general lesson to the specific application can take training. Not everyone will understand taxes just by reading. Look at how many adults now a days don’t understand tax brackets as a good example. Tax brackets are something that is fairly simple to explain and yet we have a good portion of adults who don’t understand them and will insist they get less money while getting a raise.
My first sentence isn’t bogus, you just happened to understand the general lessons and apply them to the specific application. Other people find that challenging.
Kids should learn about taxes and other important life lessons. However musical studies help kids a lot. It improves memory, hand eye coordination, increases grey matter in their brains, improves fine motor skills…all sorts of benefits come from learning a musical instrument. Plus once they can actually play you’ll have a live in classical jukebox.

Seems like it’s recognizing something as a phone number which isn’t a phone number. A reboot might reset whatever daemon is causing the issue.
Duergar are better.

Definitely a net positive. My friend and I were discussing something similar the other day. He rides motos and I ride downhill and we both learned via youtube. What used to be restricted to people who could afford private lessons or coaching are now available to people even in third world countries. It’s opened up a lot of new horizons for people.

It makes for some hilarious scene remixes. You can have them naked all the time if you want but I don’t want poor Astarion to have his dingdong cut off by a gobbo.

I’m confused. In what way does sarcasm break paladin oaths? Not even devotion paladins would break their oaths via sarcasm. Here are the tenets of a devotion paladin:
Tenets of Devotion
Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.
Honesty. Don’t lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.
Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.
Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.
Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.
Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.
As you can see sarcasm isn’t mentioned.
How does sarcasm break my oath? As a lawful paladin I don’t care if they’re mad about being blocked from doing something illegal.
Well Britain did a little colonizing in that area of the world.
I took a sacred oath, sir! I can’t serve you Mr 40 year old Drow or I become an oathbreaker. Sorry, not sorry.
