I’m not sure if they would notice if you took hormone blockers, might be able to pass off as a “late bloomer” until you can get hrt.

How much did I like that one guy really.

America still has slaves, the constitution makes an exception for prisoners, which is just Roman style slavery again.

Maybe you built up antibodies cause I didn’t notice at all.

No a man is a miserable little pile of secrets

Or it’s a plucked chicken

That’s the thing, you shouldn’t be identifying as a person attracted to minors. You don’t say “I’m a Person of Depression” you say “I have depression”.

If you’re serious about outlining the minor attraction as a problem you have to struggle with, don’t declare it like an identity to be proud of.

And if you don’t see it as a problem, you’re just enabling pedophilia. The people inflicted with it need to admit they have an illness to get treated.

The issue is using the same kind of language as like “Person of Color”, as if pedophilia is an identity rather than an illness.

If we truly want a neutral clinical name, we’d say something like “Minor Attraction Disorder”. It’s something that’s only permissible if you are actively seeking help and self control like any other disorder that’s prone to harm.

If anything modern day santa is more of an invention of Coca-Cola than Christianity or Paganism.

This feels like when my brother backed up a file with Onedrive, then figured he could delete the original… the one that Onedrive was keeping track of.

It’s not that these aren’t confusing, but why risk your file without testing what the software will do first? Especially before hitting anything like “delete” or “discard”?

I ask it for help when I’m unfamiliar with a library/language or if I’m getting complex errors.

But I always type out the code myself, making sure I’m reading each line and understanding what’s happening.

Even for boilerplate if you just let the ai go at it, it’ll generate a Frankenstein boilerplate of an outdated standard.

I still like this version of a natural American borders:

Republicans also won the house and senate.

With the combined total of a right controlled presidency, congress, and supreme court what can’t they do?

So just allow Hitler to take over europe and make an ethnostate through mass exodus?

If you’re talking about the nukes, I agree, they were unnecessary as Axis Japan was already on the decline.

But to argue the entire war was preventable by just displacing jewish people is naive and borders on antisemitic.

There might’ve been ways to prevent the war from starting, like not destroying Germany’s economy as a scapegoat for WW1 would have done a lot.

But after the Nazis siezed power there’s nothing you could do to diplomacy the Nazis into being peaceful.

That’s part of it but it’s not that we don’t know how, it’s that google search is ruined now.

Paid advertisements floating to the top, search engine optimization completely ruining any form of categorization, a deluge of spam websites that pump out irrelevant articles full of keywords (ironically now using GPT to make more articles).

If you want to actually get real people talking you have to append “reddit” to the end. But now Reddit is also becoming shitty for search.

Nowadays people realize if all you get from google search is ai and social media, then why not skip the middle man? Hence people using ai and even Tiktok in place of Google.

I personally use Claude to ask for niche questions and it actually gets to the point answering what I’m asking. (I double check using the terms it gives me to read more on Wikipedia and ect.)

It’s like an awful combination of a boomer making a flirtatious “joke” and the hyper nerdy language of The Big Bang Theory show.

And it’s a hilarious coincidence that it resulted in the southern most point being Antarctica, as it just happens to be the only continent without bears.

I get annoyed when people say things like “big deal, just do xyz yourself, why are you complaining?” . Because making a clear and comprehensive game is WOTC’s job they are being paid for with our money!

If the system has a flaw, it’s their job to fix it, if they don’t they’re doing a bad job.

That being said, 5.5e has been pretty cleaned up in this aspect. I’m honestly shocked at how they both added new fun systems and codified a lot of vague mechanics.

I feel like an average person or group of people are of average intelligence.

But huge masses of people? They begin to adopt emergent traits that cancel out individual intelligence. It’s why foot traffic can be modelled as a liquid. Or why the entire field of economics can exist.

This makes large public masses have predictable behavior that’s exploitable by grifters, demagogues, and propaganda.

If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.

He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn’t make him a good puppet master.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it’s stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.

I don’t think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it’s value to come back and buy it on the cheap.
