because bills are made of a much cheaper material

... they also weigh much, much less. You could mint higher value coins, I guess, but nothing's going to change that paper (well, pseudo-paper made of thread or whatever it is we're using these days) is lighter and significantly easier to carry.

'Course, plastic (i.e. electronic funds) beats the ever loving hell out of either of them on those fronts (save at more or less pointlessly small amounts of dosh), so hey.

Dunno about highly, but there's non-zero odds it is. Problem being doing anything about it.

... though do note, sometimes settling with them also won't help. Some of these sorts of fuckers just keep going so long as they think they can get more money out of you.

And also Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, it's fairly similar to Spice and Wolf, and was directed by Takeo Takahashi, who was the director of Spice and Wolf, so it could be seen as a spiritual successor to some degree.

Ain't seen the anime of this, but the books are pretty nice. Dunno how hard I'd recommend 'em, but they're not bad reads.

Switch the pig for little red and the fox goes from skeevy maybe-rapist to pedophilic skeevy maybe-rapist. That would actually make things worse, tbh.

Five thirty is too early. Three is you poor bastards having actually died and providing proof to the world hell has internet connectivity.

Double-ended knives are the way to go, there. Those ones with the handle in the middle. People run away, but you get to get stabbed, too!

The only talent I've done that with, pretty much ever, has been block. And that generally only with add-on classes or adventurer builds built around doing stupid things with block, such that it's basically impossible for there ever to be a better decision (for that particular character) than to block if block is off cooldown. It's not something you generally want to do, though, yeah.

Humans are weak to peer pressure pretty much forever. Kinda' just the card that's dealt by being social animals. More or less weak is a question, but considering who we let vote as is I don't think you can really argue it's something to considering unless you support significantly more stringent restrictions on voting.

Which, uh. Hasn't worked out particularly well, historically.

Humans don't finish developing mentally until they're 25-ish. Ability to comprehend choices and consequences is one of the last thing we gain. Letting 18-year-olds vote on things they aren't really able to understand the effects of because they're biologically incapable of that perspective is already a bit frivolous. Lowering the voting age to 16 would be irresponsible.

If it's irresponsible, so is allowing anyone over, what, fifties, sixties? To vote. As well as anyone with a psych condition that impairs thinking. Probably have to throw in poverty conditions, poor sleeping or eating habits, gods know what else. Lots of shit messes with our ability to comprehend choices and consequences pretty hard. If you're going to restrict access to the vote based on that, you're going to disenfranchise a pretty damn huge chunk of the population (and, probably more realistically, invite straight-to-hell levels of corruption from whichever group gets to decide where the lines are).
