it's "I cast create water in the lungs of that guy!"

I mean that just obviously doesn't work because you don't have a clear path to that guy's lungs. His clothes and skin and bones are in the way. Furthermore, a creature's lungs are not a container, and even if they were, it would be difficult to argue that they are an open container. But there are still a wide variety of ways it would be possible to drown someone using create water, and personally, I would sooner assume that the hypothetical player involved is considering one of those ways rather than a completely nonsensical way that doesn't even begin to fit with the basic rules of spellcasting.

Well it depends on the circumstance. The "captured target" you mention is helpless. You absolutely can oneshot him with any number of cantrips, or other mundane actions. You could oneshot him with a "use an object" action if that object is a lever controlling a trapdoor over a deep pit.

Point is, you certainly can drown someone with 30 gallons of water. You just have to set up for it correctly. I don't really like the implication of your comment and the original post that it's unreasonable to try such a thing just because the number used to categorize the spell is too low.

What if every software became FOSS? Who would put in the free labor to write the software to print a page, or show an image on screen, or create something more complex like a machine learning advanced AI software?

Would it simply be that everyone provides for each other? Everyone pitches in? What about people who have bills to pay? Would their bills be covered?

To your questions in the second quoted paragraph, basically, yes. In a just society, each person's needs would be accounted for already. The labor you contribute back to the society would be according to your own passions. You would find something fulfilling to do with your time without having to worry about having a bullshit job to avoid homelessness or starvation.

Longshot, initials SR?

"Norse pagan since I was single digits in age" can't be very many people, is all

Can't live without it

Yes you can.

But yeah, not eating beef is a moral issue I deal with. I mean, I don't care that I don't eat beef, but the fact that I eat pork and chicken but not beef seems to me to be weird. So, is there any religious practice that you guys follow to this day?

No more half measures walter

go vegan

most logical anticommunist screed

we know how the us government works, the problem is that the way it works is evil and must be changed for the good of humanity.

hmm yes i want my phone to be made of fucking titanium, that sounds cost-effective

Ah yes, the fascists and the antifascists are exactly the same. You can tell we're exactly like nazis because of how much we hate racism, homophobia, and all other forms of bigotry!

We're communists who are very hostile toward racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, and other such bigotry. The users of this instance are by and large racist homophobic ableist liberals so they hate us. It's not hard to understand.

what the FUCK that's terrifying, don't post shit like that without a warning

sic biggs on 'em

this is literally backwards lmao

a chinese person did not make that image of xi with his skin tinted yellow

Yes. We're federated. What's your point?

Neither Biden, nor Obama, nor Bush, nor Clinton nor Bush Sr, aspired to replace democracy.

True, because we have never had democracy in the US. None of them aspired to institute it.
