Captain planet (he’s our hero) (gonna take pollution down to zero)!

We could really, really use an environmentalist power that isn’t beholden to any nation or company.

Rescue dogs and bomb dogs are cool, traffic stop K-9 units are an affront to civil rights.

This is the same reason police dogs shouldn’t be used.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen non-homogenized milk in a jug like that.

Milk is so easy to tell if it’s spoiled, no reason to throw it out without a sniff test.

Encumbrance makes a lot of sense in the context of old D&D, progression was tied to how much treasure you could get out of a dungeon. It also works well in survival-type games where resource management is a key mechanic. But like many facets of old D&D it is applied widely with no consideration.

It’s very important that we find a healer or we’re going to die! But also, you can only get one camp interaction per rest so take your time~

This doesn’t bother me at all. It’s kinda weird that games are often expected to give 100% of their content to average investment players. Leave some meat on the bone for the tryhards!

The explanation I heard was that “ghost” stuck around because “Holy Ghost” was in the printed bibles and people didn’t question that authority.

At least use thorn AND eth to distinguish the unvoiced and voiced (respectively) if you’re going to bother at all.

Many Native American cultures did not know about alcohol before it was introduced by Europeans, same in Australia and New Zealand. The many deleterious effects of colonization are certainly “a significant element in their cultural development” but maybe not in the way you intended.

Yep, it’s an old SNL thing.

Hmm. I think lane-assist probably makes people worse at driving. Anything that lets people pay less attention on the road does, it trains drivers to be less alert. Adaptive cruise and automatic braking are probably a net benefit but “car safety” is not trending in the right direction.

Have we collectively lost the ability to detect a shoop? The alteration is glaringly obvious—the right side is clearly clone stamped and it’s blurry at the join of the C and u.

AI crap is worse than not commenting.

Hating Communists has always been an acceptable form of bigotry. You don’t have to listen to what they say, just dismiss them (and insult them!) for wanting a world that doesn’t run on money.

Stop this ecofascist shit.

We can support the current population, it’s just not profitable or popular to do so.

Birthrates naturally level off as societies develop. Many are already seeing negative growth.

Our current standard of living is mostly predicated on offshoring the suffering and waste to the global South, but even that could be comfortably leveled off if we weren’t living under Capitalism.

We don’t need large AI farms, we need empathy. The techbros will not save us.

Depends entirely on where the rat came from. I wouldn’t eat a New York city garbage rat but I see nothing wrong with a woods rat. People eat woods animals all the time, including rabbit and squirrel.

they’re not public

This is a huge issue, honestly. Discord’s search function is awful and you have to find the right server before you can even try to find the information. Any standard search engine can find a post in a classic forum.

Also, scrolling through giant pages of constantly updating chatter is a miserable interface. Split it up into pages!

ALSO, Discord has poor tools for managing everything. You can’t merge topics or move posts, that should be day 1 stuff.

That’s just the Twitch brainrot. People that want forums back (including me) do not want to be in a room with 13k people. That’s not a community, it’s so much bigger than the monkeysphere.
