Hey, McDonalds, I got a general AI that can understand human speech.

It’s located between my neck and the top of my head, and it costs $25/hr for fuel consumption.

It’s not an oh-marge, it’s ho-mahg-ee.

How about we do mechanical speed limiting like they do with ebikes.

How about we compromise and just get rid of cars?

Your ‘argument against GMOs’ is an argument against seed patents, not GMOs. That’s the same as saying there’s an ‘argument against insulin’ because big companies own the patents and charge lots of money. The product is absolutely irrelevant to the conversation.

Yes, this looks much better. My other thought would be road-rail buses, but getting on/off the tracks might be too much work to be worth the extra flexibility.

That looks horrible. Cramped, the giant windows means it’s hot and the sun is always in your eyes… Any reason they need to only use one rail? We already have road & rail buses, trucks, etc…just use those.

It strikes me that this could be quite useful when used proactively.

E.g. - Player Character Byrnwolf just got a crit on the Bandit Lord with his Greataxe. Queue the GM: “How comfortable would everybody be with a description of Byrnwolf splitting this guy in half?” All the players tap red, yellow, or green in response, and the GM can moderate from there.

It would be good at providing ongoing feedback for the GM to guide their style over time.

Whoops. Should not use social media when tired, I glossed right over that.

Probably circumcision

I love the idea of the danger just being…plants. Invasive species? Although it’s really the humans that are invasive. Sure, there’s a BBEG to defeat, but the problem is much more n existential one of, “The climate is changing and we’ll lose our home and livelihoods” rather than, ‘evil monster over there’.

Are we talking brown bears or black bears?

Brown bears are violently territorial and will attack you for being in eyeshot.

Black bears are basically giant racoons and will move away from people - especially if you’re making loud noises and making yourself look big - because they don’t want that smoke. They’ll only get aggressive if you surprise them or get anywhere near their younglings.

I’d probably take a black bear over a lot of dudes. As long as we got a good hundred feet or so of distance, Mr Bear and I ain’t gonna bother each other.

It’s not about what somebody’s ancestor did. It’s about what the country as a whole did. Country X had Y policy that oppressed Z group, and has resulted in that group still being impoverished today? Country X is on the hook then. They caused the problem, they need to help clean it up.

This is the best part of a TTRPG.

Mass Effect 2 and 3 are up there with some of the best shooters I’ve played. It’s just so smooth. And the weight/CDR system is incredibly simple yet impactful. I’ve played through 3 several times. Yes, the story beats weren’t always great. Still fun.

EDIT: Since we’re posting favorite builds: Sentinel gang. What’s that, I have access to literally everything you need to beat any enemy? Yes please.

Stop. Using. Cars.

I like the general idea, but I think ‘gotcha’ deities aren’t great. You always end up having to answer the questions, “Why has nobody figured this out yet? What’s going to happen when this is revealed?” It can be a huge amount of work to answer those questions.

I much more like the Truthsayer and the Prince of Blades - they simply are, and the worship or lack thereof is just humans’ reaction to them. They feel much more…elemental.

Give all parties involved nuclear weapons. See how warlike the Israelis are when all of their targets have nukes.

Yes, this seems like something Britain would do.

Look, FFS, start doing synthetic nictotine products already. Tobacco is inherently cancerous, cigarettes are localized pollution… get rid of those by all means but let people have their recreational nicotine. Put it in beer for all I care.

Humans: Awwww he likes the baby Cat: Yes, this surface is both soft AND warm, I will sit here
