The author is active on bluesky and she's actually quite nice and everything you would expect her to be.

Yeah, and?

Do you honestly believe there's a single person on lemmy with enough gravitas to be worth being tracked by the elite?

Regardless of the truth, I prefer Diane Duane's explanation in the "So, You Want to Be a Wizard" novel, In that all of the steam in the subways are generated by a breed of fire worms. These worms, if left long enough, can grow to the size of a respectable and quite terrifying dragon.

I feel like this is one of those things where, even though there is a likelihood that you are right, you don't actually know that you are correct.

People are weird.

People are occasionally evil, especially towards weird people.

There's an entire possibility that atheists have stoned somebody to death, and since you're the one making the claim, I feel like you should be the one to scour every single instance of death in all of human history to verify your claim.

My favorite theory about pinky and the brain is, in the opening song, they say "one is a genius, the others insane", but when they say "one is a genius", they show pinky, and then they say "the others insane", they show the brain, indicating that pinky is the actual genius in the group and the brain is the insane one.

Yeah, this is spelled correctly and grammatically parsable. No way it could be his tweet.

When "hundredths fractions of security" fails to get a laugh, I know I'm in the wrong group of people.

Surely you understand how a stupid response to a silly statement like it is one of the sayings of all time can be appropriate in humorous situations, right?

I understand that you did not find it funny, but I hope that you can understand that it was my intention to be funny, and therefore a serious response is disproportionate.

I didn't say it's secure, I just said it's security.

You can't say that a solution is no security at all when it requires time and intelligence to bypass.

It is at least 0.01 security.

Also money, which are just political points in tangible/fungible format

NASCAR might do those speeds fairly regularly for short bursts

Early on in their first game, my players suffered a T.P.K.

A squadron of horrible die rolls killed all three party members in their first battle.

I'm talking skeletons rolling nat 20s against level 3 characters who kept rolling twos and threes for the entire battle.

But they didn't die.

Instead, they awoke to find themselves in front of the BBEG who enslaved them with a cursed crest and then sent them out to scour the world for a specific list of objects where they were contractually bound to be released once they delivered them all.

This effectively let me railroad the campaign just enough to get the party started.

(This is what I would be saying if I had realized that I could do this immediately instead of staring slackjawed in disbelief as 30 minutes into a well-planned campaign, every single party member died and then accused me of being too hard of a GM and... yeah.)

One trick that helped me is that psychopaths tend to frame things in an either or, where the either is, you do what they want you to do, and the or is, you are a horrible person.

When you find that yourself in that situation, always pick the horrible person option.

What they think of you doesn't fucking matter.

Once they realize that they can't manipulate you, they'll get bored and move on.

It costs you nothing to be a halfway decent person, even on the internet.

Did you have any symptoms?

Long story short, people that use it get really used to using it.

You know?

You made me think about this for a minute and I think I figured it out.

Use the circle pin to draw the circle.

Then use the select tool to select the circle that you drew.

Then use the grow/shrink tool to shrink the selection by however many pixels thick you want the circle to be.

Then use the erase tool to erase all the parts of the circle that you don't want.

Easy peasy.

Thank you. I was afraid I was being a little too subtle.

Kubuntu isn't too bad
