Awesome, that game was quite fun in early access. I’ll have to install it again.

I disagree with the part where a single person gets to decide to follow a law or not because it opens up the other side doing the same thing.

That same gender affirming care could be through the post, in which case someone who disagrees could just not deliver it.

The law needs to apply evenly or what is a loophole to one is shenanigans to the other.

I’ve seen a lot of rulers that actually don’t have a mark at 0 and instead go right to the edge as 0. Typically they are worn down, being made of wood, so the accuracy of the first inch is dubious. To ensure the distance is correct, sliding the ruler down one unit is a good idea. So, my ruler starts at 0 but my measurements start at 1.

Now hold on mate, just listing facts is not the same as an endorsement of a conclusion. The same can be said about NOT listing facts. All the information available should be presented to allow for informed opinions.

The longest journeys all start with the first step.

I’m all for removing gender as the first dividing line, but there needs to be some divisions in place.

As an example, in martial sports they are often separated by weight class to balance the fact that a larger, heavier person would have an advantage over a smaller, lighter person.

Without that, basketball would be dominated by the tallest people only, but that means there is no reason for anyone who isn’t tall to even play the game. Break it into height classes and suddenly you meet have a league of skilled, average height players that could be very compelling to watch.

Yes, but I didn’t think having four options would greatly detract from it either. In fact, I’m very curious about the line between somewhat acceptable and completely acceptable. Like, how clear is that divide? Was there a neutral option between the two, or were they forced to choose for or against?

I can’t do silence, my thoughts are too loud. Rain sounds work well for me.

I have a character idea for a cleric that idolizes the god of pain.

They focus almost entirely on healing because you can’t keep suffering if you’re dead, if you’re alive you can grow stronger, and therefore, in their own twisted mind, if you’re suffering you’re growing stronger.

They don’t heal people right away unless not doing so would cause them to die and end their suffering. Instead, if the battle is over, they pull out a chart and start asking about how painful the wound is. This can be excruciating for the one who has to sit there and answer questions until they get healed.

The other portion of their build would focus on fighting the undead because they are abominations who cannot feel pain and cannot grow stronger because of it

The god goes along with it because their normal clerics may be into torture, which is great for pain, but they tend to get hunted down because of their extreme methods. This cleric causes pain indirectly by being surrounded by a bunch of murderhobos.

Usually age has the opposite effect, but I hear they make pills for that.

See, now I’m interested!

Oh, that’s so much better than I thought it was going to be. I was expecting you hadn’t changed the sheets in 4 years and had just been living in filth for YEARS.

I use metallic permanent markers. They apply a nice, thick coating so that the light still works but is severely diminished. It also can be done to some devices without opening them if they don’t have the light recessed too far.

I think there’s a fun bit of linguistics there. If you say more unpopular it implies that both are unpopular and one is even more so. If you say less popular, it implies that they are both popular, but one is to a lesser degree.

But then how will they upcharge you for additional storage or push you to their monthly cloud storage solution?

A timer goes off in the background.

“Get a job, n-!”

True, but I do get irrationally mad if someone else wants to show me something and there are several ads before it.

Working on me right now. It’s hard to see value in myself, so it’s impossible to understand why someone else would either. When I’ve learned to love myself, I’m sure it will be easier to see why someone else would too.

Mate, I’ve had users who were sharing an account that only some of them had MFA prompts for. They didn’t bother checking who had initiated the prompt, they just approved it because it was easier. And that was while they were fully awake and thinking…

To set a scene, you awake in the middle of the night because your phone is making noise. Blearily you unlock it, glance at a prompt, and then approve a login and fall back asleep. The intruder now has access to your password manager!

They attempt to log into your bank and drain your life savings, but despite having your password it sends another prompt to your phone. This time, you wake up enough to realize something is wrong. This time, you deny the prompt.

The entire second paragraph cannot happen if your MFA is a single factor. Don’t store MFA in your password manager!
