JoCat likes girls, and people hate him for it. There are plenty of videos going around talking about the situation

why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?
Not to sound like a blue-haired liberal, but at least in my neck of the woods, toxic masculinity is to blame. Like, one of my favorite internet folk got bullied off the internet recently for saying he likes girls a little too enthusiastically. Some dudes will absolutely tear you apart if you are a man that exhibits anything other than stoic passivity.

My blind ass. I guess we’re stuck with the incorrectly pronounced Arkansas and a cheap knockoff

I like how it has both Arkansas and Arkansas
- Comment on Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules 11 months ago:
Yeah, and I’ll appeal the case all the way up to the Supreme Court. I have a constitutional right to not say a goddamn thing. The founding fathers knew what passwords and cyphers were. If they wanted to allow the state to compell you to give them access to information that they could use against you in court, they would have written that into the fifth amendment.
- Comment on Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules 11 months ago:
My understanding was that most of them got got because their cell companies knew where they were, not because of the contents of their phones
But also, I’d rather let every Jan Sixer go free than imprison one innocent person because they looked up textiles.com two years ago and found out how to make meth
- Comment on Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules 11 months ago:
I’m sure if the government was doing it’s damnedest to house soldiers in our apartments, there’d be more people against it. Unfortunately they’re just doing their best to jail anyone they don’t like.
- Comment on Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules 11 months ago:
Fascists try to use cases like this to take your rights away. Never forget how this impacts the innocent. If they can force this man to unlock his phone, they can force any innocent person to do the same. If the police think you’ve committed a crime, accessing your phone will never make them think you’re innocent. The absolute best case scenario is that they don’t find anything useful to their case. The worst case scenario is that they find your social media account where you called arson based last year, and they will use that against you.

I know it’s wrong, but I can’t help but be upset by the individual xp. Either I get jealous when my friends level up three hours before I do, or I feel guilty having a level on them for three hours. That shit does not fly at most tables, why would they think to include it in this game? Why isn’t there an option to share xp???

Some people have jerked it to fully clothed women. Ought we ban every woman from twitch? Maybe enforce hijabs?

A chance to post that meme I made!
Let me put it to you this way, Tav. You can buy better games than Solasta, but I like Solasta. Yes, it has a linear story, and the voice acting is rather stiff, and you can’t multiclass, but–it’s brilliant!
I don’t actually know that I would say BG3’s story is undeniably better. It’s more polished, sure, and it’s more open-ended, but that doesn’t necessarily make it better. Granted I’m not done with it yet so I can’t say for sure, but I really like Solasta’s story, especially the second campaign.
I think there’s also something to be said about having four fully voiced player-made protagonists instead of one silent protagonist and a ton of companions. There are scenes made up entirely of your party talking to each other. The writing isn’t as tight, the voice acting is relatively amateurish, but I like it.

- Comment on AI System Detects Social Norm Violations 1 year ago:
I’m extremely skeptical of medical diagnosis AIs. Without being able to explain why it comes to a conclusion, how do we know it won’t just accidentally find correlations? One example I heard of recently was an AI that was extremely good at detecting TB… based on the age of the machine that took the x-ray. Because it turns out places with older machines tend to be poorer, and poorer places tend to have more TB.
The only positive use I can think of is time saving measures. A researcher can feed a study to ChatGPT and have it write a rough first draft of the abstract. A Game Master could ask it for inspiration on the next few game sessions if they’re underprepared. An internet commenter could ask it for a third example of how it could save time.
But for anything serious, until it can explain why it comes to the conclusions it comes to, and can understand when a human says “no, you’re doing it wrong,” I can’t see it being a real force for good.
