I'm sure they also complain about roads, parking lots, gas stations, drive thrus, and highway onramps. Not.
A useful perspective. Thank you
Arm the Haitian immigrants
This is me
My tidbit to add is that when the Mongols got to Europe and encountered stone castles that were harder to siege, they solved the problem by bringing in seige engineers....from China.
They were doing that stuff on the reg. One of their demanded tributes was, essentially, skilled workers as slaves. They were very aware that they had a very particular skillset that didn't translate well to everything. So they took what they needed to run their empire and put it wherever it was needed - even if it was someone who knew how to e.g. do algebra.
That's fine. Impound the car, scrap it.
This is why I'm convinced we need to start mechanically speed-limiting cars. We do it for ebikes, but god forbid we do it for vehicles 100x heavier. No, your 4000lb vehicle does not need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds just to get you to work everyday.
Enh. Just sounds like pearl clutching to me. A lot of lawmakers probably need to be cussed out more. If you can't take an insult you have no business being in politics, which is just a formalized method for handling conflict.
MTG made it personal because she's an asshole, and Jaime clapped back to demonstrate that the committee was being biased in not censuring MTG. This happened because of willful disregard of the rules that are in place to prevent this sort of thing, and Jaime handled perfectly: she escalated instead of bowing to an unfair ruling.
Not the national one (I think MN already ratified that?). This is a broader one for the MN constitution.
Make ebikes. They use ~100 times smaller batteries. Start putting down bike/NEV lanes, make cargo ebikes/mopeds. Stop trying to shoehorn your 0-60 in 5 seconds mid-life crisis vehicle into climate sustainability.
Shit, came here to say the same thing.
It strikes me that this could be quite useful when used proactively.
E.g. - Player Character Byrnwolf just got a crit on the Bandit Lord with his Greataxe. Queue the GM: "How comfortable would everybody be with a description of Byrnwolf splitting this guy in half?" All the players tap red, yellow, or green in response, and the GM can moderate from there.
It would be good at providing ongoing feedback for the GM to guide their style over time.
I love the idea of the danger just being....plants. Invasive species? Although it's really the humans that are invasive. Sure, there's a BBEG to defeat, but the problem is much more n existential one of, "The climate is changing and we'll lose our home and livelihoods" rather than, 'evil monster over there'.
Are we talking brown bears or black bears?
Brown bears are violently territorial and will attack you for being in eyeshot.
Black bears are basically giant racoons and will move away from people - especially if you're making loud noises and making yourself look big - because they don't want that smoke. They'll only get aggressive if you surprise them or get anywhere near their younglings.
I'd probably take a black bear over a lot of dudes. As long as we got a good hundred feet or so of distance, Mr Bear and I ain't gonna bother each other.
This is the best part of a TTRPG.
Ok, but that's unironically a great map for a TTRPG campaign.
I'm thinking Lovecraft. Plateau of Leng and all that. There's just this huge, impassable land that goes south for what seems like forever. And...things...occasionally wander out of it.
God fucking dammit. People have had thirty years to comply with the law and they're still holding on to this shit.
I like the general idea, but I think 'gotcha' deities aren't great. You always end up having to answer the questions, "Why has nobody figured this out yet? What's going to happen when this is revealed?" It can be a huge amount of work to answer those questions.
I much more like the Truthsayer and the Prince of Blades - they simply are, and the worship or lack thereof is just humans' reaction to them. They feel much more...elemental.
I think there's definitely some merit to the idea that mental health in general is the problem, not necessarily just social media. We've become much more aware of and better at diagnosing all sorts of mental illnesses, but at the same time we've done practically nothing to make mental health care accessible. There's a lot of not-so-good things about social media. Forcing teenagers to hand over personally identifying information to companies who are well known to abuse that data is probably not a good solution.
