And the smaller debris basins scattered down the hillsides from the San Gabriels, too. I read McPhee a decade before moving (briefly) to LA, and the debris basins & dry dams were the first things I looked for after arriving.

Yeah, but tell the people in the replies! I suspect they're bleeding over from another dimension where such a thing never happened.

Somewhere between the "oh, you can just install a third-party OS" and "my employer forces me to let them manage my personal device" replies my head started to ache.

I'm guessing part (most?) of the reason for Switzerland is that the cost of medicine is not NEARLY as insane as it is in the USA.

Oh of course not! That would be like interviewing livestock about animal welfare, because it is well known that us filthy tr*nn**s aren’t actually human.

If you want just combat, there’s always Melee.

I’d argue that that’s a good thing because it forces the DM to think on their feet: combat is stupid, so there are rules for it, but everything else is more fluid and is played out as a story.

And they won't even own their opinions; if, hypothetically, the view they're talking about is exterminating trans people (or one of the more traditional targets), they need to say their proposed victims aren't welcome with their full chests.

Instead it's "pwease vote for us, then we kill you :-)?"

(In present day, Labour might not be casting their evil eye on you today, but if they think they could pull votes away from Reform by doing it I'd bet dollar to donuts your civil liberties would start evaporating instantly.)

It depends on the opinion, doesn't it? What would balance the platform of a party that wanted to exterminate the jewish population, just to think of a not-so-hypothetical situation that is still within living memory?
