    They had an auto tram that could carry everyone across the entire facility and was sophisticated enough to stop for a robotic auto loader.

    I feel like it would have been trivial to ha e acomputer Controlled cart and, if they really wanted, a humanoid robot to press the button.




  • There’s a book I read that takes place in Faerun where a cleric is getting tortured by ogre clerics by having his limbs broken and then they use heal spells to heal his limbs at odd angles. After he’s freed, they break his limbs again, heal them in braces, but he had a permanent limp

    DnD healing can only do so much before its just some high power reality changing magic.





  • This is something I also struggle with. So much of the lefty philosophy is around acknowledging and respecting everyone as intrinsically human with a life worth preserving. Often I have a hard time hating the average Trump supporter or fascist shill because I know there’s a million factors out of their control that got them there.

    I have to remind myself constantly that my life is worth more than someone’s who’s chosen to harm another.

    Guns aren’t for everyone and I understand that. I don’t think I could ever become a partisan in a revolution but I don’t intend to be a statistic. If you do choose to have a weapon for self defense please at least train with it. Even pepper spray you can get refillable water squirting versions.

    If you do want to try guns one day, I’d suggest a Pistol Caliber Carbine like the Ruger PCC. It shoots pistol rounds out of a carbine/rifle so it’s much easier to control. The rifle in this picture is a KP-9.



  • Point taken. I agree with you. I’ve always agreed with those facts.

    But there’s an armed an increasingly well trained and organized movement of would be brown shirts. They’ve repeatedly shown their willingness to escalate violence at protests and threaten violence towards LGBT events. They’ve demonstrated a willingness to act on the federal government with violence. And huge swathsof that population are police.

    They have guns. I’m in a queer relationship. I’m a target. I have guns.
