I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

You non-sports fans have to understand that for people who are really into pro football, today is basically their Super Bowl

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

How much changes mechanically if D&D humans were called something else (like Tallmen, via Delicious in Dungeon), and they, along with elves, dwarves, goblins, etc were considered "human?"
"Nonhuman" implies they're not mortal people, but in most fantasy settings, they very clearly are those things.

This post brought to you by overthinking #ttrpgs
I grow less comfortable with "human"/"nonhuman" being based on biology. I think that division is a symptom of D&D brain.
Homo Sapiens is a species, but someone is "human" if they are mortal and have personhood. Doesn't matter if your ears are pointy.

They are ghouls. They volunteered to do this. They need to be abolished. They need to be prosecuted.

I have to imagine most users' feeds are a horror show right now, and I don't want to add to that because, well, what do I have to add that hasn't been said by better, more courageous people than me? Feels wrong to draw any attention away, though. A lot of folks need to look at what's happening.

If they can kill you because you’re carrying a gun, you don’t have the right to bear arms.
Conservatives know that, right? They know ICE is a checklist of everything they claimed to hate about big government, correct?

My Bluesky feed is basically nonstop protest footage and Americans getting beaten at protests. I've attended several protests myself, and our President is deploying soldiers to stop them. So it's wild if Europeans think there are no protests.
Is it because we aren't setting our cities on fire?

You don't know what mixed signals are until you are getting "I hope you're okay" concern texts from your European and Canadian friends abroad while you're seeing "everyone everywhere hates and blames you specifically for American authoritarians you've resisted your whole life" on your Bluesky feed.

You know what families really can’t afford? Their breadwinner being abducted at a gas station by government overreach officers for being too brown. Maybe y’all should do something about that I dunno
