I could see this kind of idea being wildly popular for ttrpg dungeon masters. If you know anybody who owns multiple 20 sided die there's a good chance they've done some amout of fantasy world building before

Isn't oligarchy a loan word from the French language? Or like, if not a loan word I'm sure it at least has French etymology

I personally enjoy your satire, I think I've even commented on a few of your "not Chad mctruth" shitposts. It does scare me as an early member of boards like r9k in my childhood though. It's hard to tell the satirists and the shitposters from the actual bigots and true believers, and myself and some of the other dinosaurs on the internet have watched in real time as communities that started like yours turned into the online alt right. I think you would do well to clearly label it as satire; I know it takes away slightly from your intended audience, but I think it's more important to make it clear to anybody who doesn't get it that the ideas you are presenting are the ideas of clowns and are to be mocked.

It's depressing how many top level comments or replies are about how people like that there is a technical barrier gatekeeping lemmy. Are yall actually leftists or do you just pretend to be while worshipping your own version of social hierarchy in which us nerds are on top?

Yikes. This makes me think of people who have hurt me

Oh no. No no no no no. I stopped having nightmares about this little fucker years ago. You can't make me go back!!

So you're saying Hannibal didn't finish the job because he had no (cross)bars?

Rupert Murdoch did come from Australia after all. Makes sense that you'd have exactly the same propaganda machine as we have in the US

I know theatre existed, which is why I specifically qualified it as widely available/distributable. You cant just ignore half of the words I used when rebutting my argument then act like you addressed my point. The "dominance" of film and TV compared to other internet shareable media does not remotely compare to the dominance of print a few centuries ago; nothing else from the era even fits the modern definition of media. Print was the dominant form of media in the 17th century in the same way that your eyeballs are your dominant means of gathering visual information; there is literally no competition to be dominant of.

I think you misunderstood my point about financial ghouls; I'm not saying that I think early printed media was free of their influence, I'm saying that today I can easily access a huge body of media that exists without their focus grouping and "safe bets only" style of publishing monotony. This is significantly less true if I limit my forms of fiction intake to films and tv.

I think i should back up a bit; i don't really care that you're wrong about the relative influence of different forms of media in different time periods. I'm upset that your first comment extends an elitist epithet about a person not reading indicating the lack of a rich inner life. Acting like people don't know fiction if they don't consume it the same way the majority does is shitty and ableist, and that's the message presented by your top level comment. So I guess like, if my interpretation of your first post is correct I think you suck and I'm no longer interested in speaking with you, and if not feel free to correct me and collect the apology I'll owe you for getting vitriolic on the internet over a misunderstanding.

Kind of a shit take. Printed material was the only widely distributable/available vehicle for fiction in the Victorian era, which is absolutely not true of tv/film in the modern era. I generally avoid TV and movies as well; not because I don't like fiction, but because I don't like my fiction to be filtered by financial ghouls and focus groups clutching their pearls hard enough to turn their knuckles white.

Idk if you did this on purpose but the right eye of that thinking emoji lines up perfectly with the front facing camera on my phone and it gave him a monocle as I scrolled away

What fucking ass for brains engineer wrote this dogshit code?!?!?! I'm gonna scroll back to the header find out who wrote and give a piece of my mind to... myself x.x

Great use for 1/8 of a CVS receipt. What did you do with the rest of it?

I've never believed in god, but I think I can believe in saints now after Saint Luigi and Saint Javelin

Look I'm fine with people being straight and all, I just don't want them shoving it in my face

Why did you post a picture of Allisae in your comment about Alphinaud?

YALL NEED TO SPEAK UP! I CANT HEAR... wait, which community am i commenting on again?

Is your airplane too chunky and lethargic all the time? Is your best friend going to die early of weight related complications?

Try farmers fuel tank, the number 1 fuel tank brand reccomended by 9/10 crew chiefs. You shouldn't be the only one eating healthy

I had to be at the mag lab in Tallahassee semi regularly during my undergrad, where they would demonstrate the magnetic levitation of a frog from time to time. The place had systems with cryo pressure high enough to turn an improperly sealed hatch into a very deadly projectile for anybody unlucky enough to be in the same room
