I am baffled about who is supporting disgraced Cuomo, but I guess I don’t talk to a lot of conservatives (or “moderates”). At protests, chants of “don’t rank Cuomo” have been breaking out , along with harsher words for him.

I would be surprised if it was as good and big as bg3. I doubt they’ll give it to a small studio with a lot of heart, so it probably won’t be good.

Though I don’t know, maybe if they gave it to whatever’s left of obsidian it wouldn’t be the worst?

I don’t think the current government is capable or interested in making sound decisions. I don’t think the public is capable of electing a better government. For profit orgs don’t have the public’s best interest as a priority. So this is bad

Well, every republican idea is a bad one so that follows.

Other people’s computer usage is weird to me.

I just bookmark stuff if I think I’ll need it later, and I usually don’t even do that. Otherwise, every browser window is closed at the end of the session.

I feel like shithead musk always says like “working on it” but i would be surprised if he ever does any meaningful work.

He’s just such a disgrace. Like a fractal shit. No matter what part of him and his life you look at, no matter how zoomed in or out, it’s just shit. Fuck that guy.

The big one should not be legal.

Pete Hegseth should be removed from power.

Though the details of the Bezos wedding are highly guarded beyond the rumored $10-million budget

Ok so I’m not going to say that we all need to eat dirt so long as anyone is worse off than we are, but that’s a lot of money that could be spent on anything else.

I’m not christian but camel through the eye of a needle, man. You can’t be a good person when you’re sitting on that much wealth, and Bezos isn’t even trying.

Aren’t great on… median? Majority fall below some arbitrary standard of “decent”?

I’m not sure that detail of how it works today. I would assume that if there’s an option that is less beneficial to the wealthy, it’s not true.

In my magic wand perfect world, we just do UBI and things are much simpler for everyone.

I only learned recently that there’s a max on social security tax you pay each year. If your income is high enough, partway through the year your takehome pay jumps up because that tax is no longer applicable to you.

That’s stupid. Profoundly stupid. Ass backwards.

When your income is low, you need those dollars that are taxed. When your income is high, you don’t.

It should be like, the first (some amount) of income isn’t taxed for social security, and then the rate goes up as income goes up.

Anyone who doesn’t want to pay into social security is welcome to go live in a state of nature where they can be eaten by wolves instead of a society.

That’s something to work on. You’re not immutable.

If you accept rejection with dignity, it’s not that big a deal. Don’t be a creeper. It’s not that embarrassing. And if your friend group is cruel about it, that’s good to know. They’d be assholes in that case, and you probably want to find out they’re assholes in a low stakes situation.

She could ask you out. But if you just wait you’re giving up your initiative. Use your agency.

…yes? That’s what you have to do. Maybe she says no. Maybe she says yes. Doing nothing definitely won’t get you anywhere.

There was a rally to support Lander this afternoon. Pretty good turnout for a sudden gathering on a Tuesday.

He gave a short talk after he was released.

I feel like if Musk’s company is found guilty, it can’t just be “okay pay a little fine”. It needs to be like, “Undo the damage you did, and also pay a fine to help people deal with the damage.” And if it’s impossible for them to fix the damage they did, they can get fucked. We put people in jail for decades for smoking weed, we can put some corporate grade polluters in a cell.

He should be removed from office at the very least.

Lots of other good points already made, but I’ll add my own two cents.

When I run a game, I always require players to make characters together. No “go off and make a character in isolation”. That’s just a recipe for disaster. You can have some ideas already in mind, but nothing is canon until the whole group agrees.

Second, everyone needs to have buy-in to whatever the hook is. If the scenario is “you’re starting a courier business at the edge of civilization”, there are lots of good options. Guy on the run from the law. Lady studying local wild life. Intelligent, local, wildlife. Don’t play “guy who doesn’t want to be here and is a total killjoy”

Third, it’s better when characters have connections to each other. You can play the “we just met and we’re forming a relationship!” arc, but like “what if we play ourselves in a fantasy world??” it has been done.

Honestly, everyone should read Fate’s “Phase Trio” https://fate-srd.com/fate-core/phase-trio and the rest of character creation.
