Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.

Monster that feeds on suffering becomes a professional caretaker for people with chronic pain and terminal illnesses. They can’t change the fact that these people are suffering, but they help a bit and in the meantime they’re fat and happy off that Sweet Sweet ambient pain in the air.

Two towns over there’s a demon lord trying to get their cult to abduct people for torture, but they keep getting stopped by heroes and the like, so they’re barely scraping by. Meanwhile Belogarth the Registered PCA is chowing down on back pain, medication side effects and looming mortality for eight hours a day and has become the most powerful demon on earth without realizing it.

“But don’t their clients feel weird knowing that they’re feeding off their suffering?” No they think it’s hilarious and they’re real shits about it.

It’s a form of spiritual husbandry. Like how you get more milk from a cow if you take good care of it than if you kill it.

If “Life is suffering,” a demon who feeds off suffering must love life.

Another thought: If someone is suffering, and a demon eats that suffering, that implies that the suffering is (temporarily, at least) alleviated.

“I’ve been depressed for months, but then a demon ate my sorrow and worry, and I feel so much better now.”

I was just thinking about this! Like with things that eat nightmares - the nightmare gets consumed, right? what a great way to get rid of persistent nightmares!

Something something capitalist realism where it’s impossible for certain people to imagine something not wanting to endlessly grow and expand, instead of merely being contented with enough.

D&D has an entity called “Dendar the night serpent” which is a Jörmungandr style snake titan that lives between worlds and is responsible for eating all the nightmares that ever existed….for some reason in the canon lore she’s evil….

WHY!?! big friendly space snake wants to make sure you sleep good! Every player I’ve told about her has been an instant fan with a dedicated minority making it a personal goal to boop the all-devouring snoot.

Of course they knew it was illegal. They just didn’t care.

Schwalb’s DC lawsuit cites a former “high-ranking manager” at Greystar Management Services, one of the RealPage customers named in the suit, as confirming that landlords used rent management software to collude and raise prices. “He responded that of course they did—it’s the entire reason landlords used the software,” according to the complaint.

Say, what are the chances there are other cartels in other cities that are also artificially inflating prices through the use of software? We get that landbastards want to make it easy for themselves to maximize profits as we all live in a capitalist society, but this is egregious. There is a difference between profiting and profiteering.

There is a high likelihood there’s a cartel here in Minneapolis given how city government feels safe in fucking life up for everyone within city limits.

We hope they all get fucked.
