Ok, so biden can officially order the assassination of the right wing supreme court justices and Trump, then appoint replacement judges and lobby congress for a constitutional amendment permanently stripping presidents of their absolute immunity. Since his orders would have occurred while he had immunity, he’d be in the clear, he’d have illustrated the flaw in the ruling, removed a dangerous individual, and prevented future abuses. Win.

Looks good but it could use some genre settings. The straight section in particular is full of generic vanilla content and it’s all kinda samey.

Cylon Centurions are the foot soldiers of the Cylon Empire, a race of mechanical beings that rebelled against their human creators and waged a devastating war against them. Cylon Centurions are humanoid in shape, with a sleek metal body, a single red eye that moves back and forth, and a pair of retractable claws. They are armed with a laser weapon that can fire from their wrists or their heads. Cylon Centurions are programmed to obey the orders of their superiors, the IL-Series Cylons, and to exterminate any humans they encounter.

Combat

Cylon Centurions are relentless and fearless in combat, using their claws and lasers to attack their enemies. They often work in groups, using simple tactics and coordination. They are loyal to their cause and will fight to the death unless ordered to retreat.

Laser (Su): A Cylon Centurion can fire a laser beam from its wrist or head as a standard action. The laser has a range increment of 100 feet and deals 2d8 points of fire damage on a hit. A Cylon Centurion can fire its laser once every 1d4 rounds.

Construct Traits: A Cylon Centurion has immunity to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromantic effects, mind-affecting effects, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects or is harmless. It is not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. It cannot heal damage, but can be repaired. It has no Constitution score. It cannot be raised or resurrected. It is not affected by spells or effects that target living creatures, such as cure spells or charm spells. ___

I’ve gone on medication that makes drinking kind of problematic, but I really love beer of all kinds, IPAs, sours, etc. I like flavorful and varied beers. I’d like to try some interesting non-alcoholic options. What is your favorite non-alcoholic beer?

No one should care about a spotify exec. This includes their parents and wife. Everyone who creates audio projects for spotify should be paid. This includes musicians and creators of ambient noise tracks. People like those tracks, they are popular, they should be paid. It's not a difficult concept. Make a product. Distribute the product. Get paid for the product. You perception of the products relative value compared to other disimilar products in the same file format, is about the least relevant thing in the world. Even if you don't think the product represents enough "effort" to be considered equal.

All of this is crazy.

So someone creates an ambient noise track, people enjoy the ambient track, and the person who created the ambient track gets paid. I don’t see the problem.

you have to already be rich for that. instead, eat the rich.

Because we were never able to make a dent in boomer tyranny. they just disregarded us, and continue to disregard us, they couldn’t even name our generation so they just filed us under “X”. they never stepped aside to let us run anything. They won’t step aside for you either. they’ll never, in a million years, relinquish power. they’ll die first. literally. meanwhile younger generations lump us in with them, when we’ve been fighting boomers longer than anyone. I admire Millenials for their ability to seriously piss off boomers. I wish we’d been able to piss them off half as much as you guys do. but they ignore us completely unless we submit, stroke off capitalism, and bring it to a screaming orgasm.

It’s where all the stuff is. We like stuff, varieties of stuff of all kinds. including types of people. Conservatives hate stuff, and are generally anti-variety, so they stay where the stuff isn’t. they want to feel safe from the stuff, and they never feel safe unless there is a substantial buffer zone between them and stuff and a stockpile of guns to protect themselves from stuff, or books about stuff.

This is a really fun penny dreadful starring Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford. Great visuals and performances.

I’ve realized that I kind of rely on my periods of hyperfocus to complete things (when I’m able to direct it toward the right task). If I go onto medication, will I still be able to hyperfocus? As destructive as hyperfocus can be when it’s pointed at the wrong thing, it’s like a superpower when it’s pointed at the right thing. Sometimes I appreciate the periodic flurry of activity and inspiration.

I mean, why not use hemp instead of engineering a new species of tree?

I think the rubric is basically whether or not the behavior is disruptive to your life. Many neurotypical people do those things from time to time, but if it becomes overwhelming and pervasive, and keeps you from functioning effectively, it’s time for an evaluation.

ugh, I constantly forget to eat. People would ask “how the hell can you FORGET to eat, for two days” and I’d be like. “three days… I think”.

IIRC there was study a while back that debunked the idea that people get more conservative as they age. It turned out that rich people with no morals live longer, because they’re entirely self interested, and being entirely self interested they can afford healthcare, thus living longer than non-conservatives on average.
