Arguably not natural since it relies on plastic or petroleum to make.

Boy Boy has a video where they sneak into a military weapons convention.

One guy was selling crowd control armor and advertised the dissociation from your actions that armor like that creates, divorcing you from guilt.

I’d say this is the case for mammals and birds, but I think other branches of the tree of life are more hit or miss since they’re less social animals.

I’d be curious to see a study of empathy on octopi, the smartest non-social animal.

Sure would be a shame if people mass produced AI imagery to give false leads…

Maybe you built up antibodies cause I didn’t notice at all.

No a man is a miserable little pile of secrets

Or it’s a plucked chicken

If anything modern day santa is more of an invention of Coca-Cola than Christianity or Paganism.

This feels like when my brother backed up a file with Onedrive, then figured he could delete the original… the one that Onedrive was keeping track of.

It’s not that these aren’t confusing, but why risk your file without testing what the software will do first? Especially before hitting anything like “delete” or “discard”?

I ask it for help when I’m unfamiliar with a library/language or if I’m getting complex errors.

But I always type out the code myself, making sure I’m reading each line and understanding what’s happening.

Even for boilerplate if you just let the ai go at it, it’ll generate a Frankenstein boilerplate of an outdated standard.

I get annoyed when people say things like “big deal, just do xyz yourself, why are you complaining?” . Because making a clear and comprehensive game is WOTC’s job they are being paid for with our money!

If the system has a flaw, it’s their job to fix it, if they don’t they’re doing a bad job.

That being said, 5.5e has been pretty cleaned up in this aspect. I’m honestly shocked at how they both added new fun systems and codified a lot of vague mechanics.

There are multiple cases where pure chance and human hesitation prevented all out nuclear bombardment in the Cold War.

So for that alone we are extremely lucky.

Humans have advanced far but hardly changed.

It was, infact, not all good there.

This is dumb, I deeply love it.

Good lord the discourse here is about as well as the man or bear discussions.

Something I notice is how everytime someone makes these kinds of criticisms, the counterarguments turn into a pit of semantics and extropolations. As if the original post was a massive research thesis rather than just women venting frustration over the entitlement and danger they’re subjected to daily.

You gotta look past the specific wording to see the overarching societal themes, emotions, and issues. It’s like those magic eye pictures.

As a pansexual I feel that Bi and Pan have enough differences to both be justified while the others are micro labels (not invalid, just less useful as labels).

But I recognize I’m drawing that line very conveniently for myself.

Could just say “I’m nobody”, then when they realize just say “I wasn’t answering your question or giving you my name, I’m just nobody”.

Everyday I would wake up with severely sore arms, like they were clenched somehow.

Blood test said Vitamin D deficiency, but the supplements didn’t do anything noticeable. But I was on the border of anemia so they told me to try iron supplements too.

Gone overnight. I’m so used to problems being an exhausting road to recovery that this one took me by surprise.

Honestly physicists don’t actually know what measuring is either. We don’t know when exactly the system is considered “measured” in the chain of entanglement, this is called the Measurement Problem.

Answers range from “shut up don’t think about it” to “there’s an infinite amount of universes split from each other for each quantum event!”.

I get the logic was sound at the time but the logic seems to assume that this is all a game with predefined rules and strategy.

Like yeah, incumbents typically won before, but would that hold up when everyone had an audible groan about voting for Biden?

I feel like most of political strategy could be replaced by just trying to understand the people voting, rather than bundling up correlations into strategy and blindly following them.

Like I feel like if you talked to most random average people, they’d have told you about the oppressive hopelessness they’re feeling. Maybe they don’t know why they feel that, but the general mood from everyone is that nothing’s actively good is going to happens.

So of course getting a new candidate with a hope themed campaign will reawaken our passion, incumbent be damned.
