"Look, it's okay for moderates to say they won't vote for someone because they're too progressive, but progressives aren't allowed to say they won't vote for someone for being too moderate/conservative"... for reasons. Uh huh. Sure.
“Sanders is too radical to appeal to moderates” was not some smokescreen, it was the honest opinion of all the dem voters I knew personally because *Sanders was too radical to appeal to them*

There’s an RPG theory called “RPG essentialism” which states that there’s one platonic ideal of RPG that all RPGs are striving to reach and this is such an incredibly silly theory.
It’s akin to imagining there’s one way to describe a tree that all poets who describe trees are striving for.

this same exact headline drops max three weeks after every platform integrates this shit. it all started being pushed at the same time too. i sort of just assumed this was already the case. i didn't know anyone needed to say it.
turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company
we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running

I feel like when it comes to fantasy TTRPGs, all settings can benefit from a hefty dose of mythical, hazy grandeur. Your wizards can just be weird and enigmatic, your dragons can be forces of nature, and your dungeons can be the ruins of long-forgotten civilizations. No need to fret about details.

CONFIRMED BY SCIENCE: anyone more online than me is a loser phone addict and everyone less online than me are basic underdeveloped normies

A 'Goldilocks' effect for online teens? Moderate social media users fare better than abstainers or heavy users
“Both abstinence and excessive use can be problematic,” researchers suggest.

Dumb thing engineering founders say:
“Everything is an engineering problem.”
No, everything is 𝘯𝘰𝘵 an engineering problem, and you know almost nothing about any of it.
When you understand that, you can begin to actually become competent at those things.

I mean the idea that these words are a) shadow banned and b) none of the educated professionals running the shadow ban lists can figure out "unalive" is actually a completely user driven problem on par with Boomers posting "I DONT give MarkZUCKERBERG rights to my CONTENT" on Facebook tbh.

I hate this internet trend more than any other. It’s a naive attempt at censorship that just makes you sound like a child and it takes all the seriousness away from heavy topics.
Now that TikTok has changed ownership in the U.S., it's as good a time as ever to again say how much I truly hate algospeak euphemisms like "unalived" and whatnot. I wish people would knock that off.

Only 15 days in and we have a strong contender for most embarrassing headline of the year.
Ben. Shapiro. The guy who can't get his wife wet. The guy who needs an old person to open the pickle jar for him.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.
