Alright, hear me out: cozy wargames.

All the fun of gluing tiny parts to plastic models and then painting them, but with 98% less Catholicism.

I really feel like this is an untapped market.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Once again the correct response to this is to immediately push for a huge amnesty bill. If farm, hotel, and restaurant workers are so vital to the country that even donald trump can admit it, they should all be getting green cards now
NYT: New guidance yesterday from senior ICE official Tatum King to his underlings: "Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels."

This is part of the problem with Congress being so supine and inactive. A plan for a post-Trump order needs to think hard about how to empower Congress but also how to get the sort of people in Congress who want to *do things* and will assert the powers of the branch.

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity."

A sad day for this nation.

my biggest worry for the future of US government (boldly assuming there's a successful pushback reining in or deposing the musk/trump admin) is that we'll be so focused on Repairing The Institutions, we end up forgetting how dysfunctional they already were and miss the chance to reinvent them

One thing I really hope CRPGs in future borrow from Baldur's Gate 3 is the Dark Urge origin. That is, an option to say 'I want my own custom character but I also want my own personal quest and backstory and for the DM to fuck me up sometimes'.

An option to tell the game 'I trust you. Cut loose'.

Just wait until Trump uses the same mechanism he is using to attempt a national trans ban to do the same with a national abortion ban, mifepristone ban, etc.

Transitioning was the best thing I ever did for myself and it’s not even close. If you want to transition, do it. You deserve the chance to feel joyful about who you present yourself as. You deserve the freedom of simply being yourself.

when i was a kid i remember my dad and uncle and a bunch of local guys would get together with their guitars and banjos and just jam over a bonfire with shitty beer. i've always wanted to get that energy into my adulthood but the suburbs suck for wholesome trailer trash activities
i am not claiming it would fix everything, but i don’t think it would hurt for every angsty zoomer and millennial and x-er who spends 16 hours a day being Mad Online to pick up an instrument and learn to play it just badly enough to play along with other angsty zoomers and millennials and x-ers

What pisses me off. PISSES ME OFF the most about this is that this is the kind of thing that could benefit SO MANY PEOPLE to see, simply by showing that WE’RE the ones afraid in these cases. Fucking hell.
