    Man, that’s just not in the budget. How am I supposed to scratch my need-to-kill-brown-kids itch without the taxpayer money we specifically set aside for this purpose?

    What kind of absurd ideas are you gonna come up with next? No more instigating strife in the middle east? Pah! Not on my watch!

  • Electric cars are indeed much worse for the climate at production time than combustion cars likely will be throughout their entire lifetime.

    But this matters little, as the electric car is not made to be the perfect alternative, it is instead made to be the “weird in between solution” that we need to bring as many devices as possible to use a common power source and get people acquainted with the concept, before moving to the actual solution.

    The next steps will be better battery technology because, let’s face it, lithium gel batteries suck, and proper power sources.

    In the end, I guess it’s kind of a “chicken and egg” situation.

    I’m saying that I’m an advocate for equality. :)

    Edit: Perhaps I should say “fair treatment” instead of “equality”, as “equality” is rather loaded and can mean different things depending on context. My bad.

    And besides, now that I am editing anyway and haven’t received any answers to this comment. I do not think that everyone needs to be tolerant or needs to be tolerated, as that is a fallacy. Tolerate those who tolerate you, respect those who show you respect. And yet, one should at least try to tolerate those who disrespect one, unless they cause you significant harm, as there will always be those with differing opinions.

    We can’t make everybody happy, and I personally despise both extremes of this argument; those who tolerate nobody, and those who advokate to tolerate everybody, but themselves choose only to do so when it’s comfortable. Of course this includes those who are so tolerant that they go on ‘witch hunts’ against those who are ‘intolerant’, with little or no aggression from the other side.




  • Nothing big, but I like to make colored cards with NPCs, treasure, mobs/minibosses, and small quests. Sometimes you just need a random mob, so shuffle the mob deck and draw one, if it doesn’t match the situation, draw another.

    Regarding tabletop, we started with P&P and used erasing rubbers and such as figures and a square notepad as battle map.

    Nowadays we have proper painted figures and nice battle maps, but sometimes we don’t even bring all that up for small battles, as we just do them verbally instead of visually.


  • I think AI belongs in the same box as electronics, which is just black magic with a cover story to make it seem like science.

    You know how electronics sometimes release smoke when misused? Yea, that smoke is actually what makes the component work, and it’s a hell of a chore to put the smoke back in when it first has escaped!

    Or do you know that planes actually “fall up into the sky” when they have enough speed? Ever looked at a jet fighter? Yea, the wings are actually just decoys.

    Perhaps the memes would be better placed in witchymemes, or maybe we should make a new community for real, black magic, magus bullshit, “science”.

    (Disclaimer: I’m an engineer, the examples above are jokes we like to tell each other. I know how that stuff actually works, and I’m obligated to make this disclaimer so you don’t realize that most engineers actually are modern day mages.)
