He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

Thanks! Me too!

Broad claims about gender and behavior fall apart when studies include ethnically diverse samples Behavioral economics relies heavily on studies of Western, educated people. A recent analysis provides evidence that ignoring racial diversity within the United States has led to flawed generalization...

"The research suggests that generalizations about human behavior are often flawed because they rely on samples composed largely of White individuals."

Yeah, Bulk & Skull as bumbling cops seems more deliberate. Maybe I’m giving them too much credit.

When writers don't know what to do with a character they make them a cop.

I prefer that direct communication, as a Lancer GM I spend a lot of time trying to prevent my players from choosing options that will work against their build. It would be nice if the book backed me up.

Lancer has this kind of design, the upside is that when you figure out a synergy you feel like a genius. The downside is that you may go a whole campaign before you realize one of your systems is a dud.
Panic at the dojo does the opposite, with consistent communication about what things do and why

Ohhhhh

Ohhh, cool. That makes sense, thanks!

Watching Frieren in Japanese and I keep hearing "pan" whenever bread is mentioned. Do Japanese people use the Spanish word for bread or am I just hearing things?

Distressing and embarrassing.

84 years sounds like a long time. And I know in some ways it is. But it's also not that long. I still have living relatives who were in the camps and who were old enough to remember it. This isn't abstract or ancient history. It's part of the living memory I grew up with.

There was a D&D magic set and a couple MtG planes have gotten writeups as D&D settings. No one knows how to successfully monetize RPGs though, so that's only so helpful for D&D.

except in Magic it's an official licensed product

it's almost like these outside properties don't fully jive with Magic's systems.

For reference here's skinnyboy Aang clocking in at baloth power and toughness.

Sometime around the 2000s MtG designers realized that capping humans at 2/2 was preventing them from making characters with staying power because any burn spell could get them. Additionally, the game is power-crept to heck nowadays.

2026 basically

People from the US are actually really resilient and stubborn. it’s great to see them use those qualities to help their neighbors.

I’m just glad I posted them somewhere; these are so old they predate threading on Twitter. Also, who wants to wade back into that mess?

Found them!

I should track those down

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.
