I was torn between chef's kiss and slow clap.
So I tried to malaphor them both and that really didn't work.
But bravo.

Further to this, the spatula, are they improvising a hand? or do they have a feat in food prep?

On behalf of the BBC, I would like to apologise unreservedly that Donald Trump, who featured in the flagship program, 'Panorama' has not yet released The Epstein files.

Just watching a financial YouTuber who has a lot of right wing US viewers.
"There's a inflation problem of less labour supply, cos immigration's been cut. NOT that that's a BAD thing. Just a ...fact that less immigration means less workers, therefore more inflation"

Theres big feelings about AI. I say it's just another creative tool.
You aren't using it to make money gain acclaim, credit youself or put someone out of work, as making it for real would be prohibitive.
Arists felt the same way when photography was invented.

There have been times where I have considered going to a GM and ask what would have happened. A voice at the back of my mind tells me I've made my choice and that knowledge is not meant for me.

Though I don't presume that the two situations are the same.
Hope that you take what is good from the situation and brush off that which does not serve you.
Best wishes.

When my friend Ivy transitioned, I was on board immediately -what surprised me was how long it took to unpick the mental ID in my brain I had for my friend. It felt at times like it was set in concrete, it just took a bit of chiselling is all and nowadays the deadname seems laughably ill-fitting. X

He was a prisoner, on the ship we'd claimed. Sh*t was going down and we didn't need another problem even in potential. We fired him out of the airlock. Without ever meeting him.

I recall the Gestapo had a similar problem. Allied intelligence leaked that an airman would parachute in to a german town dressed as a member of the secret police. In reality no one came. But Nazi officers arrived from all over and prompty began to arrest each other.

I told my mother-in-law, who said, "Don't tell my weird friend, she votes Reform."
When I said, "ah she'll see, it's all over the news" she said, "oh she dosn't watch the news, she only gets info off of conspiracy websites." πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Oh no, a 2nd assylum seeker accidentally released from prison on the run, while the BBC uncovers a criminal shop chain staffed by migrants selling smuggled fake cigarettes to 12 year olds. <sigh>
At least we'll know what the conversation from anyone right of Conservative will be talking about.

I thought I saw the ISS going overhead a number of years ago. It momentarily flared bright green. I thought it was the sun catching the solar panels dead on. Now I wonder if it was an earth grazer.

My world was open and sandboxy. It started with a map from the core rules. I had places that were chunks of modules from other rpgs (I had to convert most species) held together with plot points made up on the spot or augmented from the PC's back stories. A puzzle from a famous 5 book. Lots of fun.

Really interesting views. I have at times thought about playing a setting with different system rules just to see what happens.
But I'm also reminded of Dread. Which uses jenga instead of dice to model horror. As the tower gets more wobbly the tension rises and collapes means the removal of your PC
