Granted, I really don't know much about how all this works, but the thought occurred to me that Lemmy - as wonderfully open as it is, and without any kind of 'disappearing messages' or other privacy protecting functionality - is basically a smorgasbord for AI scrapers. Or am I (hopefully) wrong about this?

I always find it hilarious that all of these anti-Firefox articles and posts always seem to point people toward Chrome, in the end. It's almost as if there's a concerted effort by a mega-corporation that specializes in spyware to trick people into using their products by artificially seeding social networks with pro-Google sentiments. So strange.....

It would be a huge mistake, but I could see it happening.

You don't have to be. What you've described is exactly what class consciousness is all about - recognizing that there's a different set of rules for those who aren't in power. :)

Looks like somebody just became class conscious. Welcome to the real fight, amigo!

I think the d100 is so lots of people can add their own entries. :)

5 - a cheerfully written letter addressed to the slain party's significant other, describing in glowing terms how the slain party feels like they have a new lease on life ever since kicking some unnamed and dreadful disease, and how they can't wait for this last job to end so they can come back home and start being the husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/whateverfriend that they always wanted to be.

I would have to say organized religion. I grew up in a pretty strict christian home, but as I grew older I began to see how much of what I had been told was just patently false and designed to manipulate and control. I have done a lot (decades worth) of studying and reading and I'm confident that the conclusions I have arrived at are correct. Of course, your mileage may vary.

It's pretty much a thankless job 80% of the time - which is why I have to take my joy from the act of creating something and NOT from the approval and appreciation of my players. It's sad that it has to be like this, but it's always been this way - at least in my experience.

I cry (or at least feel a very strong impulse to cry) from good stories all the time. If the stories you're partaking of aren't making you feel something, then I feel as though they're a waste of time and not really well written.
