Look I see what you mean but we finished coal. We closed the last coal power station last year.

Technically, sure, it would reduce the microplastics in your body, but they’re everywhere in your body, so it wouldn’t be by a significant amount.

I know this is a thing in something I’ve seen. Greatest Estate Developer?

they think there’s a health benefit and that it filters out more than just chlorine.

Depending on where you are they’re not wrong. It’s a carbon filter, and carbon filters remove plenty more than just the chlorine taste, but what they’ll remove from your water depends what’s in your water. Like I wouldn’t ever bother with a filter when I’m in Edinburgh, but in America I’d probably want all my water filtered.

Famously imperialist country, Mongolia.

Also 3 of Switzerland’s official languages are just the language of the closest country, less than 1% of the population speak Romansh.

One of my friends has spent a year in Wandsworth without trial for supporting Palestine so don’t fucking try to tell me about the evils of Russian justice

Only Germany has a stronger stance on Israel, probably due to the large presence of Jews in the country.

Sib, you’re gonna need to sit down before I tell you this…

Yet another victim of . No, we’re not the same person, part of Hexbear’s site culture is that we don’t have downvotes so people who disagree with something have to articulate that disagreement instead of just downvoting because they don’t like it.

But OK, I’ll accept your unevidenced claim that Mexico is a “narcostate”, and even your wild notion that race and racism is unrelated to cultures, because I’m not asking about either of those things: I asked you to explain your idea that Mexico is a narcostate because of the culture.

Then I’m sure you’ll be able to explain your thesis, instead of dismissing everyone else as ignorant.

Human names are great for chickens, we used to have Lavinia, Hypollectrona, Stella and Pigwidgeon.

Took a while to get it all down but I’ve posted it here: https://hexbear.net/post/5776309

It’s a post in itself and I only got about half of it down before work, so I’ll drop a link here after I finish it tonight.

Oh yeah, I should post about my arrest

Technically Far Cry: Blood Dragon was a standalone expansion rather than DLC for 3, but it blew every other far cry game out of the water.

Afaik it’s just .zip because the admin decided to have a meltdown instead of read the legislation, nothing else seems to have been affected.

When I started playing D&D (3.0) all of my characters were just me with fire powers. Sorcerer, pyrokineticist, whichever class I could find that gave me the most fire. Since then, while I play a very wide range of characters in terms of classes and ancestries, all of them are based on some part of me. Dr Hoots, Owlin Chronurgist, was based on my often deadpan demeanor and tendency to fix things behind the scenes, while Ihrannis V, Fey Paladin, had a lot of my ADHD in him. Bob Peasbody, Human Omdura, was my anxiety, and Robert Thatch, Human Swashbuckler, was my tenuous self preservation.

My favourite was probably when a DM bribed me to play Descent into Avernus by giving me an NPC to play - Lulu is a Hollyphant (small golden flying elephant) that accompanies the party on their adventure, and the DM gave me her backstory and a Hollyphant PC statblock and told me to make what I wanted. Small spoilers for DiA: most of her backstory is amnesia. I came back with the suggestion of a support focused sorcerer build to heal the party, and the DM pulled a face, so I gave him my other suggestion: I wasn’t sure of the specifics, but the backstory suggested the amnesia was down to a series of extremely traumatic events in Hell which could easily cause PTSD, and the progression of the statblock meant she started without most of the magic an NPC hollyphant has but would progress to full power over the adventure. So, the class that would most closely match that - Wild Magic Barbarian. Triggered by devils, her rages see uncontrolled bursts of her suppressed magic manifesting around her as she goes ham on them.
DM loved it and the rest of the table was delighted when they were introduced to the high pitched bundle of excitement, which turned into a mix of horror and confusion when combat started and I soundtracked it with this.

OK remember like 70 years ago when they started saying we were burning the planet? And then like 50 years ago they were like “no guys we’re really burning the planet”? And then 30 years ago they were like “seriously we’re close to our last chance to not burn the planet”? and then in the past few years they’ve been like “the planet is currently burning, species are going extinct, and we are beginning to experience permanent effects that might not snowball into an extinction event if we act right now?”
But sure, AI is really cool and can trick you, personally into thinking it’s conscious. It’s just using nearly as much power as the whole of Japan, but you’re giggling and clapping along, so how bad can it really be? It’s just poisoning the air and water to serve you nearly accurate information, when you could have had accurate information by googling it for a fraction of the energy cost.

I hate AI because I’m a responsible adult.

Cm00002 is obsessed with the idea of creating a lemmyverse that excludes its actual developers and is unrelated to the communist principles it was developed on. They’re not a rational actor, there’s really no point talking to them.

Bruh, our nominally left wing government is banning trans people, starving the disabled, failing to ban porn, and supporting an apartheid regime currently in the process of reenacting the holocaust. We have no place criticising other countries as “right wing regimes”.
