I read about this concern (for the us) in like 2004 when I took a basic poli sci course in undergrad, and wrote a paper about how climate change is a national security threat. People knew. Most people don't care or have no power.
My old pandemic D&D group was the best. They cared about everything. But I remember specifically one time they arrived at a large party. I was describing the scene- large tables set with food, small groups of people mingling, and off in the corner you see a man talking to a woman, her back is against the wall and he's got his arm on the wall so he's kind of trapping her there. She looks uncomfortable.
The players all beelined to those two to rescue the NPC from the guy. Oh, Pretty Paul. They hated him so much. Such a good villain. (Started as a riff on Handsome Jack, and it worked so well. One of the players wrote a song about how much they hated Paul)
Order of the Stick is so good, and has such surprising emotional depth for a stick figure comic about D&D.
Just be aware that the updates are intermittent.
I feel like trump could completely destroy the economy and cause the US to split apart and fall into ruin, and people would still think the Republicans are "good for the economy"
I guess it's like the difference between a parasite that doesn't kill the host, and one that does. The current breed looks like it's going to kill the host.
I canceled my subscription. In part because fuck using AI to hurt labor, but also unemployment. Capitalists want us to spend spend spend, but they don't want to give us any money to spend.
Is that true? Or just "true"? I couldn't find a credible source for that with a very short search.
Yellow is also in some contexts the color of cowardice, which seems appropriate
I'm trying to think of a situation where a penis, testicles, ovaries, etc, are required and the law would care but I'm not coming up with anything.
Like, you can't be a sperm donor if your body doesn't produce sperm. but that's not something the law needs to worry about, right?
I remember once my players spent like 15 minutes discussing how to get across a 10 foot long puddle of water in a cave.
Eventually I had to remind them that 10' isn't that far, and you can RAW jump your strength score in feet with a running start. They didn't need to build a bridge or cut into the walls. They could also just go into the water, but I understand not wanting to submerge yourself in cave water when you don't know what's down there.
It's funny because adding more non-car options tends to make using a car more pleasant. But conservatives aren't known for being smart, correct, or good at long term thinking.
What? I think the joke is hit net worth is negative. Like, if his net worth is -125, .08 of that is negative one. So if he "gives" that portion of his wealth away, he's giving them negative one dollars. ie: taking a dollar from them.
I met someone who told me she worked at the CDC, and she said shit is way worse than what's reported. Of course she could've been lying, but that seems like a weird lie to do when you're making "so what do you do for work?" small talk.
Sometimes you do. Like monologue. Monogamy. Hm but I guess the root isn't a whole word in those cases.
I think they said because she was a mutant, the clone lab won't work on her. All the other party members are humans.
But like she's a mutant the whole time, and it only comes up when she plot-dies.
(This is from memory, so I might be wrong.)
It's a good game if you like old timey jrpgs. The dungeons are full on mazes.
Phantasy Star 2 has a named NPC die and it has a weird excuse why you can't revive her at the clone labs, even though you could just fine up to that point.
Also when everyone else was like "omg no character has died in an RPG before" youth me was sitting there like "is phantasy star a joke to you?"
You can do non-monogamy without cheating. I know many people who do so.
Huh. I guess no one says "monosexual"
