I am now turning myself in to thought police for not having made soy milk in months

A meal that killed somebody vs a meal that might kill me. Yeah, I'll abstain.

The analogy really is on point though considering how carnists will always try to gotcha with "but the chicken is already dead, letting it go to waste is a privileged position", same as blue MAGA with Bidet

Then they crash into each other and inexplicably fall down on Earth, crushing poor neighbourhoods while everybody escapes blame

I knew a person who left the local org bc we weren't transphobic (and in their mind that meant we were misogynists) so they said they will instead work together with CP of Britain. I wonder if they still do that.

I mean yes and no. DS1 will forever be my favorite, but I liked 2 and 3 as well, for different reasons.

I mean shit, if I was touristing and needed a treat selfie, how much cooler is getting one when Something (minor) Happened, rather than the old boring rocks that everybody has?

In my school we actually kinda did gamble with them, but very low drama so they never were banned. I liked them a lot, I was super into pokemon as a kid, despite not even having played the games.

I hated that they made it a "regular" magic type in the later games, scaled with your stats. It was a great support magic for melee builds, afterwards it just became another casting build.

I've had a yellowjacket nest next to my window for years and they never bothered me. Now I occasionally get these fucking huge hornets flying into my house but they are pretty chill too, they immediately understand they've taken a wrong turn and look for a way out

I haven't had any big mishaps myself, but I worked in a wafer fab and apparently the person who came in to replace me after I quit, dropped a whole box of wafers like a month into the job. Shit worth like $1M.

That said, massive fault on the company for a lack of better procedures handling those, and afaik the person didn't even lose the job as it was an honest accident.

I don't know what you mean, this method of analysis has worked wonders for Superstonk

I live in the Doom Mines. I mine doom.

Honestly, it's not good for much and the economy has been trash lately, the mine has been flooding and wheat doesn't grow well here. I don't really see it getting much better any time soon.

I was semi-active in some animal liberation circles and the amount of Zionists and "centrists" ("noo don't cut XYZ off, they are a good activist, can't we put politics aside???") is disgusting. But while it has its heart in the right place opposing animal commodification, vegan activism has always been thoroughly lib, so not exactly surprising.

Made me think of Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. It's a cute children's book by Pratchett where intelligent rats (accidentally enhanced by magic trash at the Unseen University) run "pied piper" scams on unsuspecting villages. I've loved this book for close to two decades now.

He lived with us almost all his life (we adopted him from an "accidental litter" together with his brother who passed away last summer) and has been a good comrade to all other rats he has hung out with, outliving many of them.

Mostly positive. Even my reactionary father is appalled by what is happening in Gaza.

Yeah no shade of course, I just always put aesthetics over function in my forts

This is so different from the way I normally set up my own stuff, that if I were to take over the fort, I'd spend the whole year just tearing shit down and building it my own way lol. Then the next person would undo my changes, then the next person would change those...

The Steam version does actually change a few things (though to be fair last version I played before the Steam release was 0.40, so maybe they got added to the free version too?) mainly the interface. It's slightly simplified and more user friendly, mouse support is also finally sensible. In general positive changes imo.

Actually, making a fool proof self-sustaining fort is not that difficult, to be honest, especially if it only has to survive a year. You can technically just dig in and wall yourself in, set up a few farms (you need surprisingly few crops to feed your dwarves) and breweries, train a few craftdwarves and the only thing that can kill you at that point is a very unlucky special mood (dwarf that is struck with inspiraion to create a legendary artifact, but if they can't get the resources to make it, they might go berserk) that goes into a death spiral (a killed dwarf causes another to have an outburst of anger, killing another, which makes another start brawling etc), but even those can be managed.

And then, you can just automate most tasks so it runs itself indefinitely.
