I read the Dying Earth stuff. It's writen between 1950 and the 1980is, I think. And you can fucking tell. It has rape scenes that are handed so utterly casual as if they said "and then the character got on a bus." Got a lot of other problems along those lines too.

That said, it does give an interesting idea of how D&D Magic might look if you translate the game mechanics of spell slots etc. into how that would work and feel in a practical sense and what implications it would have for the world it is set in, in general.

But read it as a historical document, it you do so. It helps that the main protagonist is a fucking unlikeable brick.

Gosh, I wish there was some water near by to give it a rinse.

Nothing. I switched to a bar of soap and a bar of shampoo years and years ago. It saves plastic waste, is waaaaay cheaper and worka the same way any liquid would.

And 34 upvotes seem to indicate I wasn't the only one. Well, now we know.

"His wife, Jo Roop, is a retired Alaska State Trooper. They moved to Seward, about 120 miles (193 kilometers) south of Anchorage, from Idaho last fall when she took a job with the local police department."

Also, wife cop. Might make some Lemmys (Lemmings? What's the official term here?) go 404 in their head because a cop did something good.

Thanks. That's actually one of my own words, but you can use it all you want if you wish to do so.

My steppairents are like this and beeing with them, at a meal table, and have nobody say anything for 20 Minutes is so fucking wired. I am getting used to it, but it's still off as fuck.

Is there a viable alternative for Nvidea cards?

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

So yeah, complex issue. Thanks for your valuable contribution.

On the contrary, I was happy to engage with a position that wasn't along the lines of "all pedophiles should commit suicide".

It is, as you say, a complex issue. That complexity and any nuance is usually absent of discussions about the topic on the Internet. Thanks for adding it here.
