Can’t do that. It’s evil Communism

Hardly unique to Tehran. Utah is facing the same crisis right now. Their answer has been to privatize harder.

“BuT WhEn ReDdiT aLtErNaTiVe”?

Voat exodus imminent

Almost certainly. The future is a line of megaphones screaming “It’s never been better!” on autopilot while the world burns

And if your DM is just looking at the die and saying, ‘yah’ or ‘nah,’ they shouldn’t be your DM

Where do you think DMs come from?

If your group has the trust

This is the heart of tons of table drama. The DM wants to tell a story and the players want to be heroic. The dice add randomness that can add drama, but they also cause chaos by introduction outcomes people don’t want.

If you’re just trusting the DM, why have rolls at all? Just tell GM what you’re doing and GM tells you what happens. But then players feel like they’ve got less heroic agency. They’re not pulling together a brunch of cool traits to do something risky and daring. They’re saying “I leap over the battlement and drive my spear into the champion’s throat” and the DM either says “Yeah” or “Nah”. You need phenomenal trust in your GM for that to work. A bunch of 12 year olds at a table aren’t going to have that.

Let them handle the mechanical elements of the game so the players can focus on the role play.

The mechanics are, ostensibly, there to facilitate the roleplay. The paladin’s smite isn’t just a set of numbers, it’s an expression of their role as holy warrior and divine judge.

Generally speaking, I don’t check the age/gross karma on an account unless I’m suspicious. And by then… plenty of older accounts with lots of karma are HailCorporate to the gills. Nevermind the mods.

I just can’t take anything on that site seriously

“At least” is doing some heavy lifting

if a computer was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn’t be constantly shoved (in) your face by every product. People would just use it.”

People did just use it. But because they were so comically expensive and complicated, most people couldn’t afford one until the mid-90s.

Computers were rapidly adopted for business, initially. But they quickly became a popular tool for entertainment as well.

AI serves little in the way of either purpose

Pokemon, as a franchise, is worth it to monopolize.

Trump, seemingly oblivious to the nuanced diplomatic correction, responded by calling Xi his “longtime friend” and a “great leader”, expressing enthusiasm about potential trade deals.

He says that today. A week from now he’ll be doing the Kubrick Stare into the camera and claiming Chinese interference in the affairs of South Pacific States will never be tolerated. Then someone in Shanghai will buy another $3M Trumpcoins and he’ll be friends again.

BRACE FOR INCOMING TARIFFS!!!

liter of fries

Found the Brit

Okay, but then where am I going to meet a 10/10 Goth Baddie who flirts with me when I order?

The only way to take your revenge is to quit your job and take employment at a minimum wage service restaurant, in an effort to revisit the sleight against all those that have offended you.

Anyone who does not start working minimum wage service work in this manner is merely faking their outrage for attention.

All week I’ve been sending these to my coworker, currently hip deep in AI propaganda, at the Microsoft Power Platform conference in Vegas.

How could you possibly be attracted to both genders? That’s as crazy as wanting to change your gender or not being sexually attracted to anyone at all. You’re clearly just plotting to cheat on me with someone of the opposite sex because you like cheating so much. Nobody would ever be both monogamous AND find people attractive across the gender spectrum.

state-funded resources to help bail out those who the IRS retaliates against.

That’s been the hang up for a while. How much are state officials willing to do in defiance of the federal government?

To date, not much

The Rand to Dollar conversion rate is shit and none of these Boer expats are going to be able to find jobs, much less housing, in a country with inflated living costs and no dirt poor youth underclass to press gang.

We’ve been watching these dorks bounce off the American hellscape for years now. These losers show up, putter around for a minute, complain about how difficult it is to survive in the US without three generations of accrued family wealth, and then pack up for home again.
