Is it wrong that I could go for a vigilante at this point? A Robin Hood of sorts but more violent?

I don’t think you are, really.

😅 you misunderstand - I proposed it as part of a trial homebrew.

This was a long time ago on like 2.5 or 3.0 or smth, and I haven’t played in years, so maybe the stats don’t really translate well, but it didn’t make my character inherently that much worse, all race/class combos had some sort of modifiers like that.

The daily remembering thing ended up being as much of a burden on the dm as on me so it was never really enforced, but beyond that it was pretty fitting with everything else.

That’s a personal transaction and not business so you don’t have to claim it anyway.

What does this mean a mouthpiece? I assume something to adjust the way they talk vs the output but can someone give me some sort of example of a difference of like… what does it do?

The only games I can’t play specifically because of the bad graphics are “3-D” games from back in the 8/16 bit and just beyond generations.

The bright/highly contrasting colors, uneven grids, and camera rotation functions they used to achieve the effect made me throw up pretty much every time I tried to play them - motion sickness.

Beyond that I still rock non-remastered ps1/2/gc/Xbox and have a retropi for all the older stuff - those games were great, and they did so much with what was available. New games do too, but they have so so much more to work with.

I think they just brought it back from Oz.

I think the difference is burnout. Shit has been getting worse at a quicker pace, and we are absolutely showered with worse and worse bad news every day.

That builds, man. And its hard to keep going when it does.

This could actually lead to negative outcomes for victims, if their attacker/stalker gets a notification that the connection is broken (the article also mentions this toward the end).

So while yes, it needs to be done safely.

Those are basically all safety things, with the exception of the watering schedule which is good stewardship along with smog testing, which is in turn long term safety.

Thus, you are a champ for protecting yourself and others.

The accurate tax return thing is neither here nor there, since we should just be getting a thing from the government saying “this is what we assume based on the forms filed on your behalf from other entities, tell us if it’s wrong”. The burden to be a tax professional shouldn’t at all be on every single individual, it should be the government’s job to track and figure out since it’s their super bizarre rules that change all the damn time anyway. Most of Europe has it figured out, so..

I had a manager tell me some stuff was being scanned by AI for one of my projects.

No, you are having it scanned by a regular program to generate keyword clouds that can be used to pull it up when humans type their stupidly-worded questions into our search. It’s not fucking AI. Stop saying everything that happens on a computer that you don’t understand is fucking AI!

I’m just so over it. But at least they aren’t trying to convince us chatGPT is useful (it definitely wouldn’t be for what they would try to use it for)

You know… I never really put it together but there really is not much interpersonal conflict between those blessed with the post-scarcity society.. tensions, sure, but not a lot of really meaningful or lasting conflict, and certainly not what you’d expect from a large crew living together semi-permanently. you see it more with those outside the federation (I also just assume the entire federation is post-scarcity utopia, but that does make the outliers confusing to me personally).

I guess that could be as much to “neutralize the prior story” as to build up that post-scarcity is just better, but there are too many big arcs for that to be a reasonable explanation..

Fuck. Makes that four unattainable needs from those series. (Space travel, replication, holodeck, post-scarcity society. Plz don’t ask me to pick one 😅)

I guess there’s a reason I’m into solarpunk..
