"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

There’s no such thing as a “TTRPG for kids”, not really. Most people playing CoD were 8 years old. Your product is a “TTRPG you are comfortable running for your kids to avoid explaining the questionable ethics of genocide”

I've got something in my brain about #ttrpg players and parasocial relationships, but I'm not in the right headspace. We've all witnessed the rise in a parasocial relationship with D&D5e alone, buoyed by Critical Role and a few key others. But that pales in the shadow of Vampire: The Masquerade.

People hate when you do it but I think leaving a conversation apologizing that you are too close-minded and cannot appreciate the nuance of their argument is such a chad move

Everything in life that has material value is worthless, even you. It is how you exploit that resource that gives it value. The slave has value because it can be traded if you don't need it's labor. You as an unemployed person have no value. But you are not free of the model of exploitation = value

Software engineer in 2028? Your job is to ask a system outside your control to build systems nobody understands and you have to trust that the overlord system can fix any problems for you. If AWS can destroy on-prem servers then anthropic and the rest will be aiming to destroy source code
