Yeah, he was a real asshole 44 years ago. Glad people never change at all.

How infuriating are these

Yeah, they are realy infuriating. They are so bad at giving a good old Sieg heil. Like, half of them are using the wrong arm!!! AOC is so shy about it, she has to smuggle it in wirh a hug. Bush shows how high is dog can jump, its such a low effort.

The only realy good nazi Salut is by Mr Musk here, for sure. Shame the others fumbled theirs so bad.

Declare everyone as biologically female (because at inception, all embryos are female. It's only after 6-7 weeks that the y chromosome kicks in an makes it biologically male. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222286/, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/ - note the "at conception" points)).

As somebody who has done courses in gender studies it is painful how plain wrong and unscientific this is. Sure will be true for a lot of the other ones (especially climate). The sex ideology one (and contrary to their claim they of course are the ones with an ideology, because that is what you have when you ignore reality and make up your own truth based on falsehood) will do a lot of harm on the short term. There are real people out there who's whole existence just got denied. My heart goes out (without a Sieg Heil, but in an empatic way) to all the Transpeople, Intersex People, Non-Binary People and all others who just got their identity denied. Please stay safe and hold tight. There are sane cis people out here who know you exist and stand by your side. For what ever that will be worth in the time to come.

Even worse, they are used for lot of criminal cases, like human trafficking, childporn, drugs, weapons and more.

Yeah, stop slamming those posters!

I don't think anything exits on its own merit on the whole wide universe, but that is another discussion to be had.

Content here seems to rise and fall if they fit the narrative the community wants to push. I was quite active on r/collapse and it only got The doom stuff about climate change. Positive messages were filtered out. That's just one example, but it seems to be how Lemmy works and Reddit used to work before it was invaded by bots.

I'd argue that is pushing the ego too. It's a way to reaffirm the worldview one holds over and over. And that is, I think, a very ego driven thing, since we all strife to be right about things.

Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing that out.

Can't Messanger be used without Facebook? Mine asked me if in wanted to do that before I nuked it.

Isn't Lemmy social media, or am I overlooking something?

Easy to make misstake, but it was Power Word: Pain, not Kill.

You speak a word of power that causes waves of intense pain to assail one creature you can see within range. If the target has 100 hit points or fewer, it is subject to crippling pain. Otherwise, the spell has no effect on it. A target is also unaffected if it is immune to being charmed.

You... You think somebody let's moles onto people's yards? A pest is just an animal doing it's animal thing. It's humans that think their thought up idea of property gives them the right to kill another beeing.

It's telling that it needs the second sentence you wrote for me to realize you were speaking about Hitler, not Elon. I don't say he's gone of that far, but it wouldn't have supposed me at all.

Why stop the quote there?

$1.65 Billion, or 95.7%, comes from a single deal with the state of Pennsylvania for a tax-credit to build a massive petrochemical plant there.

The tax subsidies are a summation of all subsidies since 2003, not per year as the image claims.

The image tries to link federal SNAP benefits to total tax benefits for RDS. Of the $1.725 Billion listed on the page for RDS, total federal tax benefits account for $4.9 Million, or 0.2% of all total tax benefits.

This is misinformation

I would be more conserned about stating the relationship to the person executed, as that can be linked to you direktly, to be honest.

Given the nature of your post and the linked article, isn't it a bit risky posting this? Espeasialy because the nature of your comment makes it possible to narrow down your real live identity, even if you are behind a VPN or the like.

Maybe edit that part out.

So now we are talking about game systems that need you to know the lore? I thought this is about GMs putting work into their world building and newbies not beeing able to grasp it.

If you are new you build your character with the GM and accept limits he puts in it, because you don't know better anyway. You can always play a character that has more knowledge of the world, once you have a bit of a feeling for what it's like. I have never had the problem of a new player not accepting some limitations to the characters or backstorys made avaible to them.

Sure, and in that case a different approach might be sensible. But honestly, I don't see how a newbie would want to play a complex character right from the get go. If they do, I'd propaly recommend a more Newby friendly world / round. I still stand by my point: A complex world doesn't by default speak against new players.

That's not what I'm saying.

Im saying that a world should be explorable from within, by interacting with it. You don't learn about urban fantasy, historical fiction, call of cthullu by downloading the knowledge about it before you are born. You learned about them while you engaged with the world.

A newbie can be like a child, exploring a world that is new to them (and it is easy to have a role that comes up with a reason for this: Amnesia, Migrant from far away county, lived a very privileged live in a golden cage that limited expose to the outside, etc.).

Sure, there might be some explaining, as you brought up before, but that can happen from within the game, in character, giving the new player a chance go engage with a world that is as foraign to them as to the character they are playing. They should be able to learn about a complicated world as they go.

Maybe a bit of a hot take, but if your world needs to be explained in great detail and can't be experienced with minimal background information, the world building might not be that great.
