Is it better to starve for scraps in a dead world of dwindling resources or to strive to find a new one?
Realistically irl, it's way easier to teraform a mostly fine planet with a working magneto sphere and liquid water as opposed to going to another planet where you'd have to do all that yourself, but sci-fi likes to pretend there are thousands of lush green worlds out in the endless black waiting to be colonized.
The larger issue would be the lack of easily available fuel to rebuild earth with, an issue only made infinitely harder by being light-years away from home and starting on a new dead rock instead of a mostly dead one.
Democrats are a right wing party. Republicans are a far right party. Neither are left of center.
They wore the guise of one for longer than many live. In that time he would have been treated and lived as one with mortals who wouldn't know enough to think otherwise. If this is how he choose to live I see no reason to question it.
I am not defending this practice at all, but I do think that they have sending written on them in black that the camera and compression have hidden. You don't want to give the plebs a black and white reason to revolt.
Edit: zoomed in on the hi res version, they are holiday off.

What movies would you recommend that have come out since Dune as that is the last movie I have been able to care about at all? This isn't meant to be read as sarcastic, I'm being completely sincere I would like recommendations.

I'm not going to lie I just don't trust non-indie series any more. I can't trust them to not be arbitrarily cancelled part way through, or to be ruined after one or two seasons. There are too many burnt bridges and broken promises.
Counterpoint there has been a measurable decrease in quality of most forms of media as more and more stuff are soulless cash grabs. It used to be that games shipped completed, now they ship broken cost more and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that. The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune. Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.
What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?
We currently aren't running a trial campaign in it yet, however if you would like a look around I'd be happy to give you one after the holidays, feel free to DM me for details.
If a cop can take your property with no consequences and you will be arrested or killed if you defend yourself and your property, then what the law says doesn't matter as the defacto state of reality isn't concerned with such petty things as laws.
Yes, imminent domain. You don't own land you only lease it from the government.
Context: I was diagnosed as autistic as a child and feel that's important to mention.
For a number of years I and a friend have been working on a fantasy tabletop role playing system on and off in our free time. Think Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Shadow of the Demon Lord, etc ... In the past couple months we have made a very large amount of headway and are getting into the actual play testing stages. We are currently at the point of adding a lot of meaningful content to play test including Player Ancestries (humans elves dwarves goblins etc...). The way ancestries currently work is each ancestry has three things that it gives your character and one thing you can choose to take from a list of ancestry specific abilities.
Now we arrive at the gnome in the room. I don't particularly like gnomes. I don't dislike them either, I just have never really cared about them. The only gnomes in fiction I think are remotely interesting are Paizo's where the entire race is cursed to stay motivated and happy or they become crippling depressed, ostracized by society for risk of getting infected with sad, and die. However, I don't want to rip off someone else's universe so I want to find my own way to take these guys. To that end I'm wondering if using them as an allegory for autism may make them more interesting and also be drawing from something that I can write from experience.
My worry is that I do want to eventually release this game into the world one day and I can see easily where "gnomes are coded with autistic traits" could easily become "game author compares autistic people to gnomes".
There is also the option of just not including gnomes at all, this is the easiest solution by far but comes at the cost of disappointing a few members of my primary game group who really likes gnomes.
Thoughts, opinions, comments, and criticism are all welcome.
Also any other gnome related thoughts are incredibly welcome.
I can't believe it... THE AUSTRALIANS ARE STEALING OUR LAND!!!! AMERICA IT IS TIME TO LIBERATE AUSTRALIA!!!
Do you mean sapient? Because plants are also sentient; all sentience is is the ability to react to senses. Sapience on the other hand is the ability to have higher thought, like tool use, teaching, recognizing yourself in a mirror, etc... Finally there is the ability to feel pain which I do not think has a word. Plants from what we can tell cannot process pain, but can process negative stimuli.
That's rough aswell. I don't know what's worse, having it happen fast cutting the time you have together short, or having it go slow and long.
Either way you have my best of wishes for yourself and your furry family.
This is my cat Belle, this specific photo is about 3 years old. She is currently 17, but today had been diagnosed with very aggressive lung cancer. She will not make it to Christmas, and we have decided to put her down tomorrow to spare her the pain of what is to come.
I don't know why I'm posting this. She's spent the whole day with me in my bed since coming home from the vet. She hasn't left once, not to drink, not to eat, not at all. Her breath is becoming more labored, and a part of me wonders if she'll make it through the night. I suppose that doesn't really matter anymore.
Thank you to whoever read this, it means a lot.
I played this game around when it came out as a kid at a family members house we were visiting while sick.
My only memory was beating it and about an afternoon, that it's story was completely nonsensical, and that it was basically just a mediocre call of duty clone but achieved my goal of killing an afternoon quite well.
So when both wrestlers are laying on the mat after a big exchange the ref will start a 10 count, presumably to rule a no contest / double down.
My question is, have they ever actually finished the 10 count? If so what happened?
I have been with you from your creation now to your grave. You were never really the most popular Reddit app, but you were my Reddit app. I will miss you.
