Love how everything yells at you after a power outage. "You didn't properly shut down!!!" Yeah, well, tell that to BC Hydro.

On the list of reasons I'm a permanent expat and citizenship revoker. The anti-socialist water that Americans swim in is full of choking weeds. I am very happy to see people finally crawling to shore. Not these people, though. :(
Not two weeks after a democratic socialist is elected mayor of New York City, 86 Democratic House members vote to 'condemn socialism.'

Of course, one of the most-ignored pieces of "lore" in Veilguard fanworks is "Spite has no interest in sex and goes away when Rook and Lucanis get it on."
I am 1000% in favour of ignoring that one.

I am 100% cool with a fandom generally deciding to ignore certain pieces of lore. Like Dragon Age's "The progeny of elves and humans are always human."
It's weird, defies genetics, and worst of all, it's boring. I never mind if a fanwork tosses it.

"Before I left the NYC Conflicts of Interest Board back in 2022, I created (along with Dan Iwrey and Rob Casimir) what might be the greatest municipal ethics-law-based D&D one-shot module ever conceived… or at the very least the ONLY municipal ethics-law-based D&D one-shot module ever conceived."

If you haven't turned Smart Features off already, now is the time. (I've had them off for ages. I guess it limits some stuff but it was other stuff I already had turned off. :-p )
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Meruka nearly always had Lucanis with her. Yeah, they're both dual-sword rogues. So? :D
The third party member depended on their needs. Emmrich for spirit-related work. Davrin for Darkspawn, etc. Neve and Bellara if magi were needed. Yeah, Neve got banned from Lucanis parties. Meru can be petty.

"HEY BECKY WHY ARE YOU STILL REFUSING TO CROSS THE BORDER?"
Please be careful. I do not think they will be taking citizenship into account here—along with their Oops All Racism tactics, they may stop you if they think you’re doing anything “unusual”.
I hope challenges to this arise quickly, because what is “suspicious”?

It was so obvious that Meruka was into Lucanis that nobody else bothered trying to romance her. Davrin flirted with her just to annoy Luc. Meruka has had a crush on Teia for years but wouldn't do anything about it. She may live for tormenting Viago but even she has boundaries.

Did your OC have feelings for a companion that went unrequited? Alternatively, did someone in the party have feelings for your OC, that they didn't reciprocate? What were the reasons?

Lyria the HoF leads it like a boss, but has diplomatic trouble 'cause she's kinda the Queen of Ferelden.
Hawke says no fuckin' way and goes mano a mano with Cory instead.
Rook could barely tolerate leading 7 adorable freaks, nope.

Happy birthday to Inquisition!
Ironically, today's question kind of excludes your canon Inquisitor. How would the Inquisition fare if your Hero of Ferelden or Hawke (or somehow, your Rook) became the Inquisitor instead?

A conversation elsewhere has renewed my anger over recent Google UI changes. If you opened your phone and wanted to, y'know, call somebody on your contacts, (frequently the first thing you do), which of these buttons would you push?

After Veilguard, Meruka started having dreams where Lucanis' ruthless assassin side came out during sex. She liked it but didn't think he would. Might have kept them to herself except dreams happen in the Fade and a certain someone couldn't help but notice them.

I follow a local bird photography Facebook group because I love animals and dang, some of our local bird photographers are incredibly talented. But I also love it when somebody posts a vaguely winged blob. "Does anybody know what bird this is?"

Spouse's employer didn't want to spend money upgrading a critical system. "Not enough improvement in functionality." So the software required Windows 7. All fine and good until a power surge took out the Win 7 machine and of course there was no backup.

Google, you guys are the assholes who stuffed an incredibly distracting, obnoxious AI "assistant" into my Workspace THAT I PAY FOR, forced me to contact Support to remove it because there was no other way to do so, and then raised my monthly fee because of it. Fuck you, sir.
I like how these guys get to have it both ways
they get to inflate the bubble via broad product misrepresentation and bogus math
then dole out sage warnings about a looming problem they created as if they played no role in it

I came out as bisexual at 19, can't pin down exactly when I came out as non-binary. Didn't have words for it for a long time. Had my version of gender affirming surgery at 23. Started putting it on paperwork around age 40. I'm 49.
