"No, we don't ever touch the old Seance. The wizards of old wrote it a long time ago and the last time we changed a word it stopped summoning demons in jars and started summoning them in rectal cavities. Just leave it alone."

I'm not against porn. But its a bad idea to give people this magic wand. In mere days people will be selling AI generated CSAM of any child, along with photos of them dismembered.
Best start believin' in cyberpunk dystopias. You're in one.
Anybody but the weapons manufacturers and investors. I think I heard a popular show say recently "Everything is a product.....The end of the fucking world is a product." The only responsibility any of these people feel is toward their stock prices.
I would usually be sad to see another original RPG go 5e compatible but Neuroshima was infamously poorly designed ruleset, possibly worse than Shadowrun. I probably won't be running it, but may steal statblocks for my 5e game if I need weird stuff again.
The worst part is Afghanistan is a beautiful country. Go look at those landscapes. If assholes weren't always shitting all over it and creating their own personal hells it would be very easy to get tourism.
I have a friend who proudly claims to be a Christian Republican and that being gay is a sin and wrong. Then he will say in the same breath that he is gay and mean it. I have never seen something of the sort and it nearly shorts my wires. Idk what's going on there but its the same vibe.
I'm about sick of everything being backwards. Trust and honesty are the foundation for human communication. Subverting that causes the rest of our social constructs to break down.
We've been fighting this battle since before time was AD and BC. The guy that made time that way also fought this battle against the pharisees. The church added the rest so rich people wouldnt look bad.
None of them accept facts. They say they do but they reject them. Half of my friends I've known since before politics mattered to us ended up on the misinformed Rubepublican side. If you give them facts (like adoptions rose by 52% when gay marriage was legalized in the 90's) they just reject them or ad another criteria. The guy we were arguing with said gay couples don't make a difference because older children still have a hard time getting adopted, what?
These people aren't interested in good faith arguments or any evidence presented. They've figured out subconsciously that reality does not align with their viewpoints and are primed to reject it. Idk what you do when a good chunk of your population gets like this but we need to do something to get these people out of these harmful misinformation circles.
Is this not a conflict of interest? String this motherfucker up in the gallows. It is downright corrupt to write laws that benefit your franchise. Fuck this asshole with a rusted spoon. Take all this online anger and shove it in his smoothie king lobbies.
That won't happen until you can't buy food at the grocers. Because the threat of imprisonment outweighs the perceived threat of these actions. Even though, at the end of the day, this law is just as damaging to individuals as an actual prison.
So attacking refugee camps doesn't break international law? It doesn't break our deals with them for malicious uses? What the fuck is happening. How can anyone with the power to change or influence this stay silent day after day? Hell exists and we are there.
I was a long time Windows user, starting with XP. I only tried Linux a few years ago, and while I loved it, at the time I had to dual boot for a couple specific Windows only things (VR and flight/racing sim hardware)....
I have nothing to add except that ED with VR and hotas controllers is one of the best VR spaceflight experiences out there. Dogfighting with that setup is unparalleled. Being able to watch your target as you flip over them to their tail just gets my jimmies jumpin'.
Is it just me that can't get carrion to work? I download the databases, set it not to silence unverified calls (cause every call seems to be unverified) and I still miss all my calls cause it silences everything.
I might have to check this out. I'm not sure how I feel about it being search based. But I do like the GPL license and it looks like it operates smoothly.
Okay, start in local election. Vote in every single one of them and get all your friends/people you know/anybody around you to participate to. Nothing changes until we start at the bottom. There are usually bills and such up that provides funding to schools and all other things. The key is mostly old people turn out for these. We have to start there.
Another thing we could do is try to raise the pay for all local offices. Usually only the already wealthy can even think about taking these cause the pay is so abysmal a high school student would reject it. If we change that we can begin to put our people in the grass roots and enact change locally, strengthening our cause to enact change nationally. This is the path to ranked choice. Its not easy.
Once we get people actually able to participate things will change. But this entire machine is set up so the only fuckers with time and will to vote are retired old conservatives.
I'll be watching this one. It looks nice. Please come to Linux. I do loves me my vim. I did not like setting it up as much as I thought I would to be an IDE. I'm sorry I was mean Zed.
