Saying that using an adblocker is immoral is no different than saying that it is immoral to switch the TV channel in a commercial break
  • A reminder that this war isn't new, even before the mass consolidation of TV stations, they got together to standardize commercial break timing so it didn't matter if you changed the channel because you were just switching to commercials on another channel

  • How do you respond when people bring up Mao Zedong killing sparrows and causing a famine that killed "millions"?
  • Fascist Authoritarianism is a form of government and communism is an economic system, communism has been used as a carrot dangle by corrupt fascist authoritarian governments many times but has nothing to do with communism itself, and even so fascist capitalism has caused way more far reaching harm than fascist communism has

  • Not me but my fiance, it was the only thing that brought her out of a months long paranoid psychotic episode, intensive medication, involved observation, multiple times a day therapy sessions with actual psychiatrists etc. She hated the experience, it's like jail but with softer furniture. It took about 2 months before they were comfortable signing off on her release.

    This kind of mental health rehab doesn't seem to be what everyone else in here has in mind though, everyone else just seems to be talking about going to counseling rather than actual inpatient treatment

  • 'The ones that came before' had crystal powered AirPods
  • As a forever GM, this is one of my favorite tropes, it's usually one of the driving forces in my worlds, I tend to prefer narrative power struggle type top level conflict in my worlds and this trope just makes for such fun gameplay.

    Either there's multiple influential organizations vying for control of the ancient tech, or a group of userpers that found it, or the current ruling org is using it, or it was undiscovered until the PCs activated it (a good way to also be able to fluidly integrate a chosen one trope into a group without one single chosen one)

    In a magic world, pure magic gets stale and starts to feel all the same, but replacing some of that magic with ancient tech can add a lot of fun flavor that doesn't need to upset game balance and can provide power advancement in ways beyond experience and level ups.

  • Steph Curry hole-in-one at American Century Championship 2023
  • That's my point though, this hole should just be tee box, mild rough, fringe and green. There's no reason for that fairway to exist as a strip the whole way from the tee to the green.

    They could've even just made like an 8' deep apron in front of the fringe.

    Little to no fairway is normal, this is bizarre

  • TIL Scarface (1983) was not only shunned by the Oscars, but actually received a Razzie nomination for Worst Director.
  • Rightly so. It's a meme worthy movie, quotable lines, etc, but overall it's a pretty generic movie, a pretty generic overall story, one that's been told over and over. It's full of over acting, over exaggeration, and overdone everything.

    It's a fun movie but it's absolutely on the same level as The Fast And the Furious (1) it's the same thing, fun action predictable story that's been told over and over and it's the over playing of common tropes that makes it fun

    Neither movie is Oscar worthy at all but both are great fun watches with quotable bad lines
