Would that make invasive species unnatural? When does a disrupted ecosystem become natural again?

Trust the process maybe? This post is about the process of science correcting errors after all.

These are fantastic documentaries BTW, highly recommend if you liked Mayday, NOVA, Life, or any long form investigative journalism.

Interesting claim, let's see:

Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Argentina*, Armenia, Bulgaria, Burundi, Cambodia, Canada*, China, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Costa Rica, Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Indonesia, Iran, Laos, Mongolia, Mozambique, Nepal*, Netherlands (country, not kingdom), North Korea, Pakistan*, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Poland, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, The Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, Turkey, Vanatu, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Taiwan (to some extent), all use Provinces.

While Australia*, Austria*, Brazil*, Germany*, India*, Malaysia*, Mexico*, The Federated States of Micronesia*, Myanmar, Nigeria*, Palau, Somalia*, South Sudan*, Sudan*, The United States*, and Venezuela*, all use States.

More interestingly, the asterisks denote federal systems of government (the rest are mostly unitary or regional). Almost every state system is also a federal system, while most provinces aren't sovereign.

Thus, Canada is the weird one out, basically using states while calling them less than states. As usual, they do everything backward. I'm so proud! 🇨🇦

It is actually, Canada is the state. The US is the weird one with multiple states.

That is one big advantage of being divine, yes.

Even then, curses can complicate matters, and a pantheon without an applicable power will need to endeavor to make a change.

A Greater Foe could argue for a saving throw, especially if it's against their will. A Gift might not even be enough if the deformity affects their divine soul, which sounds like a good quest hook.

I think the refractory period is a hormone response and not tissue damage/fatigue. It could be 'healed' in a similar way horniness, PMS, pregnancy, tiredness (but not the need for sleep), hunger, and moods can be 'healed'.

It could also be a peripheral autonomic feedback response, in which case it could be 'healed' in a similar way to suppressing automatic breathing, bowel movements, automatic reflexes, and possibly the fine tuning of balance.

Such a spell could porobably exist, alongside a suite of other weird spells that were likely developed first, like Calm Emotions or unnamed but almost guaranteed to exist contraceptive spells. Some debuff spells of a unique variety could be quite interesting too, with breathing suppression being the rare effect that would require an intelligence save.

A potion would probably be the cheaper option though; plain old erection juice should suffice.

Hmm, I wonder if this would be better with an unimpressed face looking away vs a ready to pounce face focused towards the words.

There are lots of reasons for using a smartphone beyond avoiding engaging in conversation though. Looking things up, sharing contact info, planning another date, paying for the meal/event, even going to a movie can almost require an app.

I'm not saying these would be the majority of the time or anything, but not using your phone whatsoever is more of a limitation than you'd think.
