PF2e is a lot more approachable than 1e. It’s a lot harder to truly botch a character in 2e, while preserving variety of options. The 3 action system is also much more intuitive than action types.

It’s just an inconvenient one. It makes it a lot harder to jerk about how “complex” the situation is when there’s such an obvious villain. Everything Hamas has done, Netanyahu is an accomplice to.

Now that’s not entirely fair. Some are both.

There should be some sort of law where if you want to offload decisions to AI, the person who decides to let the AI make those decisions needs to step up to take full civil and criminal liability for everything it does.

Almost every AAA release has pulled the same trick for at least the last 10 years if not longer. Don’t announce the PC release until after the console release, that way some people buy the game twice.

Needle phobias are extremely common, and the thing about phobias is that you’re fully aware that the fear isn’t coming from a rational place, which is part of what makes them so frustrating to deal with.

At this point if it was possible to orchestrate some massive conspiracy to vaccinate people en masse, we should just do that. They’ll shout about it either way, but this way they’ll at least be vaccinated

This is actual theft. If they want to go on about piracy being theft, justify this first.

Model collapse is likely to kill them in the medium term future. We’re rapidly reaching the point where an increasingly large majority of text on the internet, i.e. the training data of future LLMs, is itself generated by LLMs for content farms. For complicated reasons that I don’t fully understand, this kind of training data poisons the model.

Also the classic question of does a lock of hair or a drop of blood count as a body with (a lot of) missing parts?

The problem with the boiling frog metaphor is they would only stay in the water after being lobotomized.

Actually that makes perfect sense, carry on.

The CEO. They claim that “risk” justifies their exorbitant pay? Let them take some actual risk, hold them criminally liable for their entire business.

1979: A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.

2023: A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must make all decisions that are inconvenient to take accountability for.

The Olympics have this solved. Trans women have been allowed to compete for the last 20 years as long as they’ve been on HRT for at least 2 years and have hormone levels in the expected range. The results plainly show there’s no advantage, and possibly even a disadvantage. The only trans person to win a medal was an AFAB nonbinary soccer player who wasn’t taking hormones, and the only trans woman to compete in an event came in dead last. No other trans athletes made it past qualifiers.

It’s apparently not even subtle enough to make that claim, it checks the useragent and sleeps for 5 seconds if it’s not Chrome.

It’s like the horizon of ignorance in science. The more you know, the more you know you don’t know.

The ending of part 1 was literally killing a manifestation of the concept of being a remake. It’s a sequel to FF7R, in which the subtitle “Remake” was a red herring, not part 2 of a remake.

Money and time are separate costs, consuming time is not, in and of itself, something of value.

If you’re getting the work done for both jobs, what’s the problem? If they want to double your workload, they can pay you double.

Don’t forget starvation, that’s a big one. Climate change hits your food supply before it hits you.
