What I learned from this article:

  1. Liz Truss has no sense of humour
  2. Liz Truss is intimidated by a picture of lettuce with googly eyes.

Why are far-right people so fucking weird?!

Eewwwww. Keep that weirdo away from the children.

Not because of the drag, of course. He's just a weird guy in general.

The monuments should not be destroyed. They should be put into museums with a list of every atrocious thing the person depicted has done.

Didn't know about its existence but as they were proclaiming free speech that immediately sets off alarm bells. Sad to see my suspicion is once again correct.

So now the Republicans have people who committed genocide among their ranks. At least, in their own terms they have.

And very weird too!

"We're not weird people."

Sounds like something a weird person would say

Our own far right leader Geert Wilders, who wants to exit the EU and limit immigration from islamic countries and central/eastern Europe, is married to a woman from Hungary.

Whenever a rightwing politician is yelling something is bad, chances are they are complicit of it themselves.

Installed Bazzite myself yesterday and yeah it feels like I bought a new PC without having actually spent the money XD

That's no deep state level stuff, what the top comment describes is just what happened. Back in the day (60's), advertising was very different from now. Some advertisements were quite long and explained the product in some depth, more like an infomercial. Others were meant to be useful or entertaining with the product more off to the side, like the michelin stars. Soaps are also a good example of this. Soap companies used to make elaborate household dramas to target their primary customers: Housewives. That is why we call soaps soaps, because the genre was invented/vastly utilized by soap companies.

FAR: Lone Sails

What Remains of Edith Finch

Divinity II: Original Sin

Frostpunk

These are all (mostly) non-vocal, great for some background noise. Great games too!

I am all open for suggestions! I will add a bit of context; I am proficient with Linux command line, good enough to troubleshoot if problems pop up. But I currently do not feel the desire to tinker a lot with the system itself, I just want to do daily driving, play games, and do some basic coding for fun. What value do those restricted licence codecs bring to the system?

 

 

Honestly it seems like a no-brainer to me to put a solar panel on the roof of electric cars to increase their action radius, so I figured there's probably one or more good reasons why they don't.

Also, I acknowledge that a quick google could answer the question, but with the current state of google I don't want to read AI bullshit. I want an actual answer, and I bet there will be some engineers eager to explain the issues.

Hey everyone! Let's try to get some more activity in here. I was wondering what kind of rulers you have all created. I realize most medieval settings will probably have a monarch rule the lands, but this does not have to be the case. So, what kind of governing systems have you created in your worlds?

I'll start off as I am making the post. My players are in an archipelago divided into five inhabited sections. One of them excersizes a system I have dubbed "Elected Sacrificial Monarchy." Bit of a mouthful, but the principle is simple. The people elect a mostly absolute ruler who will rule for five years. They can be granted two additional years in a re-election if they are popular enough. When their term, extended or not, ends, they are beheaded in public after a new leader has been chosen. There are clauses that can give exceptions in dire cases (defensive war or some other disaster), but they are rarely invoked.

The principle of this is that only those who wish to better their nation and are prepared to pay the ultimate price to do it will put themselves forward as a candidate to rule. It is by no means a perfect system, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. So, what about all of you? Did you have any unique governments in your settings? Tell us about it :)

And, to set the record straight, I do enjoy pizza hawaii

 
 

Happened at our table a couple of months back.

 

Oh the irony of loving winter but disliking the associated holidays. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

 

Title, basically. Enjoy trying to sniff your own snot!

 
 
 

Sleepmagehand, it's an issue.
