The 90's mentality of "Everyone on an Internet is a predator out to rob you or worse" left a mark on me-
I always use a fake name and innocuous, random profile pic if possible.
These daus you're still screwed if someone's that determined, but at least screw the corporations like this.
I honestly do try to live by WWJD. Its a pretty legit way of thinking.
But the problem is, trying to give a chance to everybody tends to earn a lot of "tsk tsk" from many Christians around here.
This is what I'm thinking.
Its a genuine miracle that this is such a small death toll in a major city like this.
One can hope this raises awareness to fracture critical (iirc the term?) bridges that are vulnerable to catastrophic failures
Well, this a great example for the ESL guy wondering if "Females" is offensive.
That one question from the Elder Scrolls class/Personality quiz was uncomfortably prescient:
Question 4: There is a lot of heated discussion at the local tavern over a group of people called 'Telepaths'. They have been hired by certain City-State kings. Rumor has it these Telepaths read a person's mind and tell their lord whether a follower is telling the truth or not.
Combat Response: This is a terrible practice. A person's thoughts are his own and no one, not even a king, has the right to make such an invasion into another human's mind.
Magic Response: Loyal followers to the king have nothing to fear from a Telepath. It is important to have a method of finding assassins and spies before it is too late.
Stealth Response: In these times, it is a necessary evil. Although you do not necessarily like the idea, a Telepath could have certain advantages during a time of war or in finding someone innocent of a crime.
It looks like the kids these days are all mana-slingers lol
This is a bit more low tech, but you mention technique, and I think people should hand write things more. At least, for first drafts.
You neurologically process things in a different way when you use your hand in that manner, and the act of transcribing your own work into a computer or device is an incredible editing measure in its own right. It forces commitment and flow, which is so precious in our time of short attention and focus.
Also, its good to be fluent in both skills, because you never know what could happen to your body. Realizing you haven't extensively used a pen or pencil much in years is a pretty fucky kinda feeling from a motor dexterity perspective.
Lol try being a Roguelike fan.
You correctly tell people that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a Roguelike and they look at you like you've grown a second head.
Sometimes this stuff happens, and there's basically nothing you can do about it.
This would be my guess- Reddit is more reliable for random queries than much of the internet, as AI propagates.
I see more and more suggested "my search Reddit" on Google even as I visit Redfit way less now
Whatever happened to internet etiquette?
You (or the person commissioning the book) ask before you do this kinda thing!
Etsy is supposed to carry the torch for that kinda small community vibe of mature adults making money from their side business.
These folks deserve to get a bit flamed, because this feels like 2009 drama we should have collectively figured out forever ago
I choose to try not to pirate, and thus this kinda thing absolutely pisses me off because this is so disingenuous, because I dig into the nitty gritty of how to do all this stuff legit.
Randomizers alone make Nintendo games in particular so much more alive, and all but require the use of ripping software and quite often emulators.
These emulators can make even current titles look even more beautiful and play more smoothly than their native platform, too.
Yeah, people are going to pirate using this stuff, but its wrong to treating the tools themselves as being inherently bad. They are quite often used by people who care very much about these games, and do give fair financial support to Nintendo.
I feel so bad for the younger folks these days.
Way back when, if Google couldn't find it and we did some good Google Fu, it probably wasn't readily available online.
Now, you know it probably is there, just buried in nonsense generated purely by layer after layer of people's selfishness. And they never even knew it could be any other way.
