Who gets to decide it’s a civil war?

I think you underestimate how little people like being conquered, even when they will very likely lose.

Idk how easy it easy to just build a nuke… I feel like the long range missile is the hard part, right? The actual nuclear part isn’t quite so complex. Maybe I’m wrong.

Is anyone surprised?

I would say everyone does it. Confirmation bias isn’t something you can completely avoid. You can try to recognise it in yourself, but most of the time it’s a lot more subtle. As simple as reading something you agree with and not going to check the source. We ALL do that.

Oh good, another world war

Didn’t dubya say it best?

I really feel for the billions of people, including my fucking self, who didn’t get a vote but who still have to suffer the consequences of this.

Jesus fucking Christ not again

I mean, ChatGPT?

If you need a personality, try HammerAI. You can create your own characters using explicitly SFW models (I mean NGL most of the public models are porn, but there are normal ones too). It all runs locally so you have a lot of control over it… Not as flashy as others, of course.

I gotta agree, I tried 4 or 5 times and just never got into it. Doesn’t help that I’m not great at party RPGs, but yeah the story was slow and I remember being unimpressed with the dialogue options… It always felt like you were kinda pushed towards and inevitable outcome rather than really influencing things.

Hisssss! Get away with your poison words! Leave me to my tippy tapping at my special clickety clackety keyboard!

I really wanted to like that book, but aggressively making points I agree with just wasn’t enough

Oooof. I feel like trying to figure out what’s wrong with some regex I didn’t write is much harder than writing it myself personally.

Tbf Dick is in a place where if I hear the name in a context where it’s clear it’s a name… I don’t think about the alternate meaning. Karen has not reached that level yet, I feel.

10/10 callback to smooth sharks at the end there.

I don’t think that making a selfish in game decision means the player is selfish. You might just be curious about how the story pans out. Maybe you want to do it both ways. I’ve played thieves and murderers in RPGs, I’ve lied and cheated my way out of situations, I’ve blown up Megaton… But these don’t really reflect my real self. I’ve often done the opposite, too.

It really seems like not only can’t they be touched, but everyone else is also so jaded by the situation that no one is even fucking trying.

Inspired by the story, another landlord decides to name their pub “Pig and And and And and Whistle.” Lo and behold, the sign was cramped… Ther needed more space between Pig and and and and and And and And and and and and and And and And and and and and and Whistle.
