  • ICE Asked to Pause Operations for Halloween So Children Can Trick or Treat

    Jump

  • ICE is ruining Halloween, the shutdown is ruining Thanksgiving, but Trump has one surefire way to save Christmas.

  • leftism is bestism

    Jump

  • People are saying "no one should live in poverty," not "no one should live in poverty, by which we mean no one should make money for their labor." You're tilting at windmills.

  • Expecting heavy industry greenwashing of this

    Jump

  • To add to what others are saying, you should consider the framing of your question. Progress isn't all-or-nothing. There will still be situations where a truck, van, or car is the best tool for the job, and electrifying them will take time, or require advances in technology. We would still benefit from expanding public transportation and decreasing the need to use a personal vehicle for everyday tasks.

    Eventually, though, yes, it would be good to replace diesel trucks with trains where possible, and electrify the ones we can't, when we can.

  • Way scarier

    Jump

  • "You are using Bonetti's Defense against me, ah?"

  • Got any theories?

    Jump

  • Boring possibility: the DM thinks halflings and gnomes are largely redundant, and picked one to ban.

    Or the one shot involves outsiders getting involved with a halfling community in trouble!

  • Got any theories?

    Jump

  • Kender, who were similar to halflings and I think are now a variant, were notorious for this. Their schtick is that they "borrow" things from their party members, not understanding that it's theft. It gave assholes license to be assholes under the guise of roleplay, until the table inevitably needs a talk.

  • Skill checks

    Jump

  • If the players are demanding wild results, especially if they're the kind to roll unprompted, then sure.

    But in my experience, it's usually just a little flourish or a small bonus, which I think is fine.

    And if the issue is that a nat 20 doesn't guarantee success, technically, sure, but I'd be more annoyed being asked to make a pointless roll. I know there are reasons, like a hidden target number, or other characters being able to do it, but in general, I'd rather just hear "no" than go through a pointless check.

  • Emma Stone took the photo

    Jump

  • Let's also throw in being a creep.

    He provided a song for the 2001 animated film Osmosis Jones. This is an animated, family-friendly buddy-cop movie about a white blood cell and a cold pill teaming up to take down a virus. In the song, "Cool, Daddy Cool," he explicitly states his attraction to underage girls and his fondness for statutory rape.

    Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage see

    Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory)

  • Shoot straight. Conserve ammo. Never make a deal with a dragon. [Shadowrun]

    Jump

  • Like others have said, the rules are... bad. Especially the latest edition. A couple of the older editions are "favorites," but still mixed bags, and lots of people just take the setting and use it in another system entirely.

    There's a Shadowrun actual play podcast called NeoScum that I loved (now concluded), and it began with "It's like D&D mixed with Bladerunner!" and ended with "Fuck this, fuck Shadowrun, the universe rearranges itself so we can play a different game." They even had a goofy recurring bit they would do whenever they had to stop play to look up rules or calculate something, which happened constantly. It's also not a player issue, since they've switched to Call of Cthulhu for another story (Gutter) and just don't have that problem.

    Jump

  • Nobody hates Shadowrun more than the people who love Shadowrun. :P

  • Accepting Donations

    Jump

  • He never actually apologized. He released a video saying he expressed himself poorly or whatever, then took it down anyway. He never said all the racist points he made were wrong.

  • Americans don't see Supreme Court as politically neutral, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

    Jump

  • Fun fact: a full majority of Supreme Court justices were nominated by presidents who were inaugurated despite losing the popular vote!

  • [Video] LA cops force their horses to run over protester

    Jump

  • The only good cops are horses and dog.

    EDIT: Guys, I know police dogs attack people. They are trained to do so from birth. I don't blame the dogs.

  • Is windows even an os anymore?

    Jump

  • Exactly what just happened to me with Tabletop Simulator. Every single fucking Magic card that I or anyone I played with was saved.

    Even better, I couldn't delete the files to get rid of the low storage warning. Changing the directory TTS uses didn't work. Deleting the folder didn't work, no matter how much I tried, because clearly MS knows better and I must have done it by mistake. I had to log in and use their web interface just to fucking say "yes, delete it, yes, I fucking mean it."

    Not that I'm upset about it or anything.

  • Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?

    Jump

  • It's extremely funny that she ruined her own career, including a likely spin-off starring her, because she wouldn't stop comparing the criticism of conservatives and their beliefs to the mass persecution and murder of Jews during the Holocaust.

    It's also extremely funny that she went on to make a movie with The Daily Wire, no one saw it, it got called woke for being an action movie starring a woman.

    To top that off, it's also extremely funny that The Daily Wire is FULL of people who couldn't cut it in Hollywood, so they kept self-financing their own shitty movies, and are now in financial trouble.

  • Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that moment hit hard. I expected someone to come in and sing his part, then... oh. Right. Of course. :(

  • Mexico sues Google over changing Gulf of Mexico’s name for US users

    Jump

  • Soon after the "renaming," I saw some comment that just said "Finally!"

    Like you, I've never heard anyone complain about the name "Gulf of Mexico," and I've heard Republicans complaining non-fucking-stop for decades, since I first began paying attention to politics as a teenager. How weak and submissive does a person have to be to take such a stupid and petty grievance, and rewrite their own mind as though they were always upset by it?

  • Elon Musk says it's ‘outrageous’ to ‘claim that I’m a Nazi’

    Jump

  • Not only did he not apologize, he doubled down with a string of extremely bad Nazi puns.

    IIRC, even the ADL criticized it, which is hilarious, because it was RIGHT after they burned a ton of what credibility they had left to defend him.

  • also methinks many other texts are available in case of spam filters🐝 rule

    Jump

  • Like you got at with the title, this kind of spamming can be fun, but is easy to bypass.

    Diversifying the spam will help, but it could still get caught by a filter, and quickly discarded after a skim. If you REALLY want to do some damage, you could poison the data set. Make the tips sound plausible. The longer it takes to check up on it, the better. Maybe mix in some real and fake information, like a fictional teacher at a real school, or a class that doesn't actually exist.

    Also, while AI is mostly being used by capitalists to make everything worse in yet another case of short-sighted rent-seeking, it's just a tool, and can have some good uses. In this case, it's ability to create a whole lot of complete garbage very quickly might be an asset, since you could generate a fuck ton of unique stories with slight variations.

    In theory, of course. Sure would suck if, even after filtering out as much as they could, they ended up with a stack of submissions that all seem equally likely, but are 99% (or more) nonsense.
