I'm going to vote ranked choice, because first past the post is antidemocratic!

To be fair the blonde bombshell in a catsuit was initially nonbinary.

And then Janeway immediately gave it conversion therapy and told it to be a woman.

These pods are only used on rails with very low ridership. They would switch to a train if ridership increased.

Look at it this way: you can have a train that has a capacity of 100 people, but it only runs once a day due to the low demand, and only 2 people want to ride it at that time of day..Or you can have 10 pods, which do not require as much railway maintenance, and they can carry the 10 people who actually want to use this railway, completely on demand.

Yeah, a train is better if you want to move ten thousand people a day at peak hour. But this is a cheaper way to move ten people at different times across a day. And it's a cheaper way of inducing the demand that would justify the more efficient kind of expansion.

I think refusing to support an antisemitic government like Israel is brave.

I don't think there's anything cowardly about refusing to support Netanyahu's antisemitic government, except that she wasn't a bit firmer about it.

If I were in Olga's position I'd go create another Natasha account on the same platform and start making videos saying "Hey, Natasha here. I just learned what things are really like in Ukraine and I'm furious about what Russia is doing to innocent civilians. Putin is an evil man. Also my main account has been hacked, please report it so I can get it back."

If Natasha is Olga then Olga is Natasha. Olga probably has a case to take over the accounts, given they're videos of her, and start pushing out antiwar propaganda.

Maybe I like mischief too much

Actually, cats really are alive and dead at the same time according to the many worlds interpretation. Under classical quantum mechanics, we say that superpositions collapse when observed, and since the cat is an observer of the quantum event (since the cat would die if the atom decayed), then the cat's presence resolves the superposition. Thus, the cat is never in superposition.

However, according to the many worlds interpretation, observation does not collapse superposition. Rather, it simply expands the superposition to include the observer. So the cat, as an observer of the quantum event, really is both alive and dead. And at the moment that you open the box to see whether the cat died, you will also observe the quantum event and become part of the superposition as well. You will both see a dead cat, and see a living cat. But your consciousness only experiences one of these possibilities. Presumably, you have another consciousness in the other possibility observing the cat in the other state. Two separate timelines have been created, which will each progress on their own according to causality. We may also call these timelines worlds or universes, seeing as they're mostly self contained.

No, all pawns are trans. They can end up either as a queen or a knight.

5e has an advantage of not requiring doctorate in quantum physics to run ( ttrpg.network )

I would usually be sad to see another original RPG go 5e compatible but Neuroshima was infamously poorly designed ruleset, possibly worse than Shadowrun. I probably won't be running it, but may steal statblocks for my 5e game if I need weird stuff again.

When I first got into D&D I didn't know what edition I was playing. I knew there were multiple editions, but I couldn't find the edition number. The box just said Dungeons and Dragons.

It was 4E, and I played multiple other systems before I finally got into 5E.

Presidential candidate Trump claims to be tough on crime. But is that really true? Record incarceration rates, increased violence, increased crime statistics. President Biden is the toughest president on crime yet. Debt forgiveness, decriminalisation of drugs, police reforms, rehabilitative incarceration, mental health subsidies, affordable healthcare, and free housing make Biden America's biggest enemy of crime. President Biden: say no to crime.

Whitehouse should just run this ad and actually implement these policies. Start redefining what it means to be tough on crime. It's not hard, it just takes actually disagreeing with reactionaries on premises. Unfortunately, Biden is trying his damndest to lose the election this year.

Problem is once the government has the power to disarm criminals, they can make revolution illegal, call revolutionaries criminals, and prevent the population from rising up against the oligarchy. The only two good things America did is kill Nazis, and kill monarchists. And it looks like the second amendment is going to protect their right to do both after Project 2025. In my country we have very strict gun control laws, which is why I own a bow for self defence and Nazi killing.

The red circle is helpful for me because Stack Overflow's UI is garbage. I always read the post, and then read the thing under the post, which is a bunch of nerds nitpicking over TLAs instead of an actual answer. Every time I open that site I forget that the answers are underneath the neckbeards, because it's so unintuitive.

Human supremacists will define intelligence as being like a human and not like an animal, and then test animal intelligence on that measure.

For those who don't want to read the article but do want to understand what it's about:

  1. You download an app on your phone that makes it look like you're streaming to thousands of people
  2. You go to a bar and show your phone to a woman "look, I'm famous"
  3. The woman fucks you because she thinks you're famous or something

The creator of this app is a misogynist scumbag who edits interviews with journalists to erase criticism and promote his app.

exocrinous ,

"Maybe if I date someone who's famous, they'll have enough money that I won't have to worry about paying for medical bills or groceries anymore. Gee, maybe we could even buy a house and raise kids."

We live in a capitalist hellscape where such things are no longer taken for granted, and are now associated with the heights of success.

The "thousands of people" watching your "stream" are bots. They can respond to what's going on in the video in real time because they're bots. Actually I technically think this would be more efficient and therefore is probably designed so that it's only one LLM pretending to be thousands of people, but I'll call it bots because that's easier to visualise. The bots know what's going on in the "stream" because they can understand what the "streamer" is saying, which means the pickup artist can put on a convincing performance to trick the mark. If it was just a recording, it wouldn't be able to respond to novel situations caused by the mark's behaviour.

I don't actually know if this technology even works, but that would be the intent used to sell it to pickup artist bros.

Narcisstic Personality Disorder is a lifelong disability with no cure. You can be a nice person with NPD. You can be a wise person with NPD. You can even be a healthy person with NPD, because disorders and illnesses are two different things. Having NPD is like having type 1 diabetes. You can live a normal life, but it's still going to take constant attention to treat, and some stuff is always going to be just a bit harder for you. The myth that people with NPD are abusers is pseudoscientific bigotry. There are plenty of self aware people with NPD and there are plenty of non-abusers with NPD. People with NPD are most likely to be the victims of abuse compared to the abuser, but the kind of people who prey on the disabled to satisfy their own desire for cruelty don't want you to believe that.

Realistic and no magick is an oxymoron

exocrinous ,

Neither of the above. Reality contains magick. Reality doesn't work without magick. The premise presented is impossible.

Please help: What's your take on woman drinking guy's beer without asking after he starts dancing with her?

Please be kind with me as I am new to this platform. I was at a club when a very handsome guy, totally my type, started dancing with me. I don't know what gave me the courage to take the half finished beer from his hand and take a sip of it without asking. I then gave his beer back to him, and he said he had to go but will be...

exocrinous ,

It's gross. I don't want to make you feel insulted, so I'm going to try to be gentle with this, but if a girl drank my beer without asking I'd think that she has poor boundary recognition and that her... hygiene preferences, are incompatible with mine. It would be an immediate and massive turnoff.

I'm sure some people like that, but even if I did like it, it would be a red flag that you did it without asking.

I actually first ran into geas in Halo. The Librarian had the ability to implant people with a genetic destiny, a sequence of DNA which guides their species' evolution in predictable ways. She used it to make Dr Halsey a eugenecist and John Halo a good candidate for surgical augmentation.

You should. We're not cave people, it's the 21st century. We can provide for everyone easily.
