"I asked every AI models an incredibly stupid question. You'll be SHOCKED at their answers, and in my inability to do any thinking of my own"

"This is a very big deal"
I'll go one step further: If it ever comes down to misgendering Caitlyn Jenner or ending the world (super likely. A very real and normal thing to think about), I would hope that we don't leave the decision up to an AI model.

It's a shame that my deep enjoyment of drawing fantasy world maps clashes so strongly with my belief that DnD players shouldn't received a detailed map of the world their characters inhabit.

In the 1800s, a man employed on a ship to look after live poultry was called "Jemmy Ducks." Just thought you should know.

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

The people who say that socialism is pie in the sky nonsense are defending a system in which people have to sell their blood in order to survive.

One of the few countries that even lets people sell their blood. An entire global industry that relies on desperate Americans

It's such a small, foundational idea that "a journalist should not be in the story". And every time that boundary was broken, it seemed small, and harmless. But thats what brings us to things like this, trying to humanize a fascist regime for offering a Diet Coke

If you've ever wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons, I hope you get a chance to. You might have to run a game yourself, finding a DM is hard. But you can do it. It's worth it. It's such a wonderful experience.

Great game

Oh I’m all for visual representation of battle.
what I’m not for is the idea that I need a specific piece of plastic to run a specific monster.

using a battle map of some kind is allowed, even preferable. But if you run the sort of game where in order to fight a monster, you must have a miniature of that monster, I think you have left the path of wisdom

My red hot take is that if you play Dungeons and Dragons with miniatures, you are doing a disservice to your players, and the hobby.

Gamers: There's nothing coming out for Switch
Me, an intellectual: Finally, an opportunity to buy Caves of Qud again

Oh she's already responded. It's just a joke so we all need to chill out, apparently.

Ok, but there aren't any gorillas or chimpanzees in the Lion King...

The neoliberal impulse to treat politics like nothing more than a chess game is disgusting.
“Don’t get caught up in [legitimately terrifying racist rhetoric or real evidence the president is a pedophile], it’s a distraction!”

If you feel emotions when Anakin turns to the dark side in Episode 3, then you aren't allowed to say Episode 1 is a bad movie.

MAGA is certain that Ilhan Omar's attackers couldn't be one of them, because he didn't make his nonbinary children homeless.

Everyday there is a new event that could very well bring us over the tipping point to all out war

I have to imagine this would all be just a little bit easier to stomach if i actually believed that the meek will inherit the earth and great are the rewards in heaven for those who are persecuted because of righteousness.

There's a lot of structural problems with leftism in the US, but when it comes to providing for their community, the infrastructure has been set up so well that to outsiders it looks like some sort of massive conspiracy

BTW, this is pretty much all they are talking about on the blue bird app. It seems to comfort them and help them ignore the reality that they support murder.

Everyday

We care about immigrants though.
And we don’t beat these people by convincing them to change their minds. We beat them by convincing more of the silent people to speak up.

It should also be noted that the protester's skin tone is darker in the altered photo. Extremely fucked up.

Hopefully her defense attorney uses this. I can't imagine "the federal government is putting out false propaganda about the defendant" will be too good for the state's case

Oh no, there's that many of them? I'm gonna need to clear a room in my house

Star Tribune is a great paper

Tolkien was really like "These little guys love tea and cakes so much that they would give up unlimited power to get back home and eat"

If it helps, I use Owlbear Rodeo. Fairly lightweight VTT (doesn't track player stats or anything, just provides a map area where you can move tokens around), but can be extended pretty easily to do much more
