That sounds like a really interesting setup. Did you each get a profession/craft to base a few skills around?

Very good points, Thank you!

I guess the most canon-compliant way to make this idea work is that they were a cleric of a deity that died. That does happen in DnD settings sometimes and I would expect that would remove their access to divine magic. Of course I would expect that rules would let you substitute a different deity with similar domains, and there are definitely skills and feats you wouldn’t lose with your magic, but it would be an interesting backstory.

I think there’s also a fun opportunity for the world to just evolve a lot in that time. Like, you were a wizard 100 years ago, but then spells were super different and way less powerful, so now you get to relearn the newer better spells and casting techniques. I imagine it’d be like learning to programming 50 years ago and then starting again now

Well, people don’t really have the choice to not vote for people they deem to old if they are the only person running for their party. If we had rules for maximum ages that would force parties to offer us younger candidates to vote for

I second hedgehogs for Germany, they’re so cute! Also, or squirrels are so different from the US kind, they’re just unfortunately a lot shyer, too

Definitely strange… Glad it worked out, though

Very cool feature, thanks for sharing!

The version is 5.1.8_fdroid, which is the same one I also see in fdroid

Very strange. I installed through the neo store a week or so ago and have a couple options

For me it’s when I add a new location, then I get to choose what sources to pull from

If it’s just about current weather, the locations view kind of does this. Otherwise, I’d be super interested to hear which app you’d seen that in before, sounds like an interesting feature

From what I see, MET Norway is an option for weather sources, is that the right one?

I second Duolingo and Drops for mostly vocabulary learning, and then I’d supplement with a textbook for grammar and a more structured learning experience. I keep seeing the everything learning german book recommended, but really, just choose whatever looks reasonable and go through it doing all the exercises

Since the problem of the joycons breaking down has come up a few times, I just want to mention that you can easily couple 8bit-do controllers, or presumably any others, and play with those instead. That’s likely to mean they’ll be available for a while. Not sure that you can do anything about a DS’s buttons breaking

I feel like this is getting down voted mostly for the picture. TL;DR: Young people might not have wisdom/experience, but they have a clearer view if morality, and in their protests they focus on the real issues, while the media focus on their protests rather than the issues they protest

I fully agree. I just think that the economic situations have been getting more and more precarious for lots of people, meaning getting to a modest amount moves further into the distance. I truly believe that we’ll have more people championing climate change issues if we put them in positions where fulfilling their own needs is easier

By changing the system to give them better options and easier choices. It depends on why they don’t care or know, of course. I’m assuming a low SES here, where there’s little energy to inform yourself or change, different strategies should be used for other groups, like more education in schools, etc

You’re right, that is also an effort, though I think it’s one that our current situations make easier, given the amount of free information and the ubiquity of smartphones. Still, I see your point.

On the idea of consuming less resources being a waste of resources: Every one of us has a limited amount of mental energy. Most of us have to spend a lot of that on making a living. If we want to live perfectly moral lives, we can expend the rest of it doing that. But then that is the only thing we will change in the world. On the other hand, if we spend that energy on reforming policy and inspiring societal change, we may have further reaching effects. I don’t think the former is necessarily the more moral choice, though it definitely is a moral one. In an ideal world, we’d all do both of course

Not an unfair point, I grant you. I’d say that while a single vote is a small drop as well, it also requires much less effort of someone, whereas changing your life consistently every single day in ways that are difficult and unpleasant is a lot more to ask. I’d say it’s a matter of effort vs. reward
