Really hoping that the Dwarf Fortress siege updates "enemies can now dig through walls." Thing is able to be turned off. Otherwise it means moving forts into the far negative Z levels to avoid being over whelmed rather than living on multiple levels of mountains in the positive Z levels.

Also no shade but it's one of those things that would get votes if Bernie said it sure, but if Gavin said it. Well they won't vote for him because of the transphobia. If The Great Khan said it then they'd cry about the state police or maybe his ties to Israel. Theyll always find a reason to not vote

Candidate at the national stage. They have turned in literally everyone except Bernie. It all comes down to if progressive Ds can fix things, that means voting could have stopped this, which means they are indeed the bad guys for not voting in 2016

We will never stop relitigating the 2016 election

Leftists will find any excuse not to vote for someone with a D beside their name. They will make shit up if they have to, they will do this while screaming in your face that if you want their vote you have to nominate candidates they want to vote for. They will not vote in primaries or boost any

All of the werewolf knock offs are way better. It's the like the game had an idea but not anything approaching a good execution.

I’m sorry, but it’s actually kind of pathetic for people on the left to trip all over themselves to hand a victory to Trump at every turn. I’ve seen a ton at this announcement that Trump is going to pay the troops unconstitutionally, saying it’s a master stroke. Have some goddamn self respect.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 19h

I expect that “should the troops get paid” is something most Americans would support if you polled it without any context.

The average American doesn’t give a shit how something happens, they just want good things to happen, however they define that.

Elected Dems haven’t adjusted to that reality.

Here at this galaxy con place and the ceiling is too far up. It feels like when the DM happens to describe a room that's really big having an oddly tall ceiling. Feels like danger.

It's bc there are so many loud haters that are stuck in that whole "anything teenager girls like is trash" mindset, but the issue is that they are in the minority and don't even know it until they stick their head out and get walloped by Taylor's popularity.

get bonus propaganda from Facebook and twitter can't be ignored and the fact their allies have bought the Washington post and CNN and even NPR is staffed with pro Republican shills. Idk man seems like that is more important that direct donations.

NineBlack @9black.bsky.social · 1d

The reason Ds can lose with more money than republicans is that owning the biggest and most watched news network that pumps out nothing but pro R propaganda for the last 30 years has a bigger affect on peoples voting habits than buying a bunch of ads every other year. Oh and the fact that the Rs

I don't do cover to cover necessarily, especially with games that have 100 pages of spells, but reading most of the book AND then making a character is generally how I do it.

TTRPG Question of the Day

Which method of learning a new game works best for you?

Some people swear by reading the core rulebook cover to cover. Others like to go step by step through the character creation process. Many people find watching an actual play helpful. Which method do you use & why?

It keeps happening! Every album release is followed by calling her mid, uninspired, "creating content not music", and how no one even cares when she does anymore! (do note that those aren't all from the same people) Like I'm sorry that the lyrics in the song about her dudes dick aren't inspiring?!

There are a lot of them run out of russian bot farms whos goal is to spread division and mistrust, seeing a Harris resistor post an unironic caliper measuring race science info sheet then quickly deleting it kinda spills the tea that they are all run out of the same building imo

Oh, I was wondering why I no longer had the option to report TERFs to a moderation list I was subbed to.

Description of a moderation list --now titled as "Hidden list"-- made by brainnotonyet.bsky.social

The description reads "trans exclusionary radical feminists who are using rightwing language to attack minority groups."
