One of the funny things about knowing how lasers work is it becomes funny when sci fi media like video games just chooses colors for them arbitrarily

Like having the different-sized lasers in BATTLETECH be different colors implies they also work via completely different mechanisms lol

frankly insane that 20-ish years ago some devs in japan said "how do we adapt mystery dungeon for pokemon," someone said "why don't we have the player be a pokemon," and as a direct result i now wear a collar and have about 5 online friends that identify as the mythical pokemon mew

Empires and countries, regions and people can be remarkably stable for centuries, change overnight, collapse in days, it’s wild.

I was reading a tweet that was talking about how the Aztec empire has gotten much worse and more murderous in the final decades of its existence before it was destroyed by the Spanish - and it got me thinking about how fantasy and sci-fi have really fucked up our sense of time

And are you married?

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice.

The thing that drives me nuts is this has been scientifically disproven since the 1970s, goddamn.

The stereotype that married men demand porn star edgy kinky sex from their exhausted wives just isn’t true. Women generally are the ones with the elaborate kinks.

it's 30 years later and this still happens.

Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she quit Twitter after seeing explicit images of herself generated by Al when she was a teenager. She also became inundated with messages from fans that ranged from "disgusting" to "absurd."
"I hate AI," Ortega said. "I mean, here's the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That's beautiful. Let's keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It's terrifying. It's corrupt. It's wrong."

"What are you gonna do, set me on fire?"

Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight for misogynistic comment, court hears

Her anger then flared when Mr Loader told her she should stay in the kitchen making scones where she belonged, and not to go drinking with boys.

She left the table where they were drinking to collect a five-litre container of petrol from her garage, and poured it on Mr Loader before waving around her lighter.

Mr Loader said, "Go on, do it," before Walpole set him on fire.

I feel like the logical conclusion to this would be doing a fun lil world/campaignbuilding discord for this, but it would be SO much harder to keep players from learning info from this because my friends and my tabletop oomfies are a single circle in the venn diagram lmao

My brain loves tormenting me with really cool specific ideas for [a thing] happening in a tabletop campaign, then refusing to follow up when I want to make a game that sufficiently builds the context for that thing

Governments didnt act when half a dozen kids shows involved 100s of pedos and it was revealed who they were so no, they dont and never will and never have cared about children.

If anything, the government 100% wants to abuse your child both sexually and labour wise.
