Maybe it's the brain worm talking because the fluorine would kill it?

Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like gamblers have a heavy right lean.

That was a wild read. Glad you're still around.

Shouldn't the glock be pointed the other way if it's going to cause a coma?

Bollywood Zoids, do it

Drow matriarchs be like:

Had a great deal of fun with this one and it's still getting updates!

I feel like:

1. No race should have alignment locking in any direction, because people are people and can do whatever they want. Our goodness or badness isn't determined by our genes.
2. But, people are who they are because of the society they grow up in and how people treat them. If humans treat goblins like shit because they're goblins, and a goblin turns into a big bad because they want to kill the humans that slaughtered their village, then that villain is interesting for reasons tied to their species.

"No villain in D&D is interesting for reasons tied to their species" sounds very dangerously close to "I'm race-blind" in terms of not acknowledging that different people have different struggles, and racism is often a huge part of those struggles.

NGL I assumed 'Tanning' meant tanning hides, not a tanning booth.

All I'm hearing is "So that means my character has to jack-o pose all the time!"

This sounds like a good way to foster vast inequality. You'll have good places where people are included and able to grow up into reasonable people, then you'll have other places where people are utterly ostracized and never even have a chance. This isn't some magical capitalist world where people can just pick up and move to wherever is 'best', there will be people who are stuck. When those people don't have the resources they need, the cycle will just end up perpetuating again, and the inequality builds on itself.

The government has to have the ability to keep rogue states from declaring swathes of the population as second class citizens. Yes, there's the obvious downside of "What happens if" - but we're in this together and we have to try for the only tenable solution. That growing inequality will affect the 'good' areas, even if they put their fingers in their ears and say "lalalalalala not my problem".

A thousand good experiences won't outweigh one bad one, and this meme / discourse proves it. A woman can interact with a thousand good men, and all it takes is one fucking rapist and now all men are evil, all men are untrustworthy, all men are literally less dangerous than a wild rabid animal. There's no point.

Is there a way to GPO this 'feature' off? Worried about some of our users getting confused.

Major moral panic about trans people leading to violence, institutionalized discrimination and death = no reason?

If you don't get bullied for your name, you'll just get bullied for something else. At least with the name you can blame it on your parents, maybe. Kids are assholes.

Okay, but Raddix Zephyr and Leviathan are fucking cool names. Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides could be if you split it among like, two kids instead of one.

Stress in animals leads to worse tasting meat, to the point that it heavily affects the meat industry. There's probably better sources but this was what I found quickly: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/why-scared-animals-taste-worse

I think the main thing is that

It’s never going to replace a nurse or doctor completely (someone has to listen to you breathe deeply and bonk your knee).

is a much bigger deal than it seems. There's just so many little things that you gain from a physical examination that would be lost through the cracks otherwise. Lots of people get major diagnoses from routine lymph node checks or abdominal palpitations. Or the patient stands up to leave, winces, the doctor goes "You okay?" and the patient suddenly remembers "Oh yeah, my dog knocked me over and my leg has been hurting for three weeks and it pops when I put weight on it".

We're physical beings, and taking care of our physical forms requires physical care, not a digital approximation of it. I definitely agree telemedicine has a place especially in the spots you identified, but they can't replace a yearly physical exam without degradation of care.
