      At first I retweeted. But on second thought, roll to disbelieve. I claim this study does not exist; I will pay $10 to the first commenter to prove me wrong (or who proves me right by finding the actual result this was based on).https://twitter.com/thomaschattwill/status/1136275956195348480 …

      Just learned if you phrase the question: Should convicts be ALLOWED to study for the GED and pursue a college education? most Americans will respond: No If you say: Should convicts be FORCED to study for the GED and pursue a college education? most Americans will respond: Yes

          You probably know, but it's not original. It's what a player used to say to the Dungeon Master back in the D&D days, when the player suspected their character was looking at an illusion, and wanted the DM to roll (hidden) dice for the character's attempt to see through it.

          A friend of mine once rolled to disbelieve a dragon, successfully disbelieved it, and then it ate him
