Too small a detail to see at the typical size it is used at. I wonder if the designer intended it to be seen, or just put it there as an easter egg meant to surprise people just like this. Both are fine as long as it's intentful.

If they get curious about it (and only if they do) they ask more questions, dig deeper, and only as I answer, we see that it’s a a mystery unfolding.

Most of the time, the players just say out loud what they suspect, and that suspicion is the cue forward. Is it true? Maybe. I don’t know yet.

I don’t. That’s the point. I’m not telling the story. The story emerges as we play. So does a mystery. I don’t start a session thinking let’s do a mystery today. Someone asks a question and discovers a vague answer at any random point in the game…

Not knowing about it myself in the first place. I have a lot of vague ideas and questions at the back of my mind, but the actual mystery only materializes as the players do things and roll dice.

That's the idea. It's not easy to tell what it applies to. You have to have someone who knows better tell you. Too many concepts and names.

Worse yet, somebody uses some half-knowledge to make an interesting hack that somehow becomes a fad, and then the web can't move away from that either.

The trouble with CSS and web rendering is that we can't get rid of questionable naming choices of the past because the whole web may depend on it. So we end up coining long and hard-to-understand terms for new and supposedly better stuff. Imagine if that was just `containing-block`…

If it prevented him from signing one more shitty executive order, I guess it's worthwhile.

Agreed. Some patents are just there to block others from doing anything at all. Theoretically, you could take those patents to court and overturn them, but that's such a burden that most of the time you just end up saying "f**k that" and do something else.

Patents were supposed to protect real-person inventors from corporate exploitation by officially acknowledging their work. RN, corporations use them as big sticks to pound at each other.

Patents should be only owned by real persons. Non-transferable. Only licensed non-exclusively.

So it is the genuine human-made SEO slop that they trained the models on?

"Cognitive decline" is a mild statement, as if whatever parameter is nearing a zero point.

The case here is long past the zero point. It's in the negative space, where the level of absurdity is so high that it's truly hard to counter it with usual methods.

Happens to empires in decline.

Something like this?

As the late Professor Hans Rosling would say: "Is it better? Yes! Is it good? No!"

How do we do that?

Also, there are some smart and religious people who accomplished good things and stood against established wrongs.

They did that **despite** their religion, not because of it, even when they claimed so.

They're easier to fool. All religion is a big scam to gaslight the masses into relinquishing power to a few. That wouldn't be possible if the masses were all capable of proper critical thought.

BTW, it doesn't matter what religion it is.

They will not call it that though.
