@amir these are actually the same thing: people expecting you to treat them at a certain level of importance
some people think that their position means you should treat them as more important than you, and get mad when you dont
mad as in, 'youre not acting like a civilised member of society so i wont treat you as one'

me, still not having access to a dev environment:

it is taking more self control than i usually possess to not just shovel them all into my mouth

@urusan cleverer arrangements are possible, usually also involving leaving some parts of the die round instead of being a side
practically speaking, the die will become more and more cylindrical/spherical as you add more sides, so i suspect the real answer is a surface area:sides ratio, beyond which it just rolls and/or you cant read the numbers
@urusan its going to be a prime number of sides, wince you can easily get an n-sided die given a- and b-sided dice where a*b=n
using standard dice of the sort you can get at a hobbyist store, you cant get a fair d7
however, d7 do exist: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dice_by_number_of_sides#D7
actually, scrolling through that, i begin to suspect that if you want a certain size die you can get it; itll just take something like pic related

@michael_nielsen When I move close to speaking things not just important to me, but essential, it as if something dead chokes my throat. The words that are easiest for me are those that I care about least - and this is something I see in the lives of my peers, too.
