My secret: all my characters are crazy. Sometimes it’s more obvious. (Fish-malk, best-malk!) Sometimes it’s more subtle. (What do you mean it’s not normal to pray to God so intensely you orgasm? I do it every day, privately.) None of them are sane. Don’t tell my players.

Mechanical would be the obvious choice. Hard to think of something more aligned to specific ‘codes’ (laws) than a robot, possibly clockwork.

Less obvious would be rectilinear quarried stone for its unyielding straight lines. Think the bot from Interstellar made of enchanted marble/obsidian.

You could also go for more of a literal interpretation in that they are formed of written laws on basically any material, written on paper for fast, vulnerable units, inscribed into stone for slow, resilient units, carved into the skin of corpses for a necromantic unit, etc.

Or take it in a more fluid direction by having them be akin to an air elemental, spoken into existence by legal decree.

Don’t worry. If we all go out and buy ourselves a birthday cake, you didn’t just depressively try to fill the hole in your soul with cake, you had cake with fellow community members.

It may or may not be optional, but even if it’s optional it’s a modern tech company so it’ll be default on, mostly because someone at HQ wants to be able to walk into their yearly review and say ‘I ‘led’ the team that developed this ‘feature’ that a full 35% of users didn’t turn off, so that means I increased customer satisfaction by 70%. Please don’t fire me.’ It’s change for change’s sake at best.

To my understanding, communalism is approximate to collectivism, prioritizing the community over the individual, working toward communal benefit. Anarchism is effectively a negative position, no one can have authority over someone else. It is technically possible for a group to be focused on mutual benefit without a hierarchy. It’s just hard to start/maintain.

Perhaps among those who saw him playing basketball at a top level, there were some who cared anough about the game to take note of his approach, but if you went out and asked 10,000 random humans, ‘do you know who Kobe Bryant is?’ and ‘What is he known for?’ approximately zero who say yes to the first part are going to answer the second part with anything about his personality. Even people who are almost precisely famous because of their outlook, like motivational speakers, are still better known as speakers than for their particular outlook.

I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone who knew Kobe because he ‘embodied values.’ He played basketball well enough to be one of the top players. No one has ever mentioned him for any other reason.

I don’t really do passion anymore, but dogs are an eternal joy.

‘Your call is not important to us. Please hang up, and don’t try again.’

It’d be kind of funny if some rep from steam just came out and said, ‘Wait, the Aussies wanted this? Put it all back! Add on a few more new ones even. This won’t stand.’

Less of a complaint and more of an experience of vicarious embarrassment.

Or both?

Looks like someone is pulling reeeeeal hard to try to stretch an already well-established and explained metaphor so they can say ‘No, guys, don’t you see? This huge piece of pop culture I like is really about meeeeeeeeeeeee.’

Why is this in funny?

You wish you looked that cute.

Splitscreening is most of what your talking about but the particular thing of framed shots on a coloured background is something similar to ‘photo collage’ so 'd be video collage.

And that’s an availability problem. The advice you see most is directed at the general population, and therefor generic. If you want advice tailored to your specific context, you have to request and pay for it.

You should check out some of the expansions. They might be more to your tastes than the free trial suggests.

The internet. We’d probably all be bettered off if we avoided it.

Automate

Not a complex thread either

Flow beginning>audio volume?(proceed: when changed, audio stream: alarm)>audio volume set(100%)>back up to audio volume?

Not rooted means you’d have to start automate after a reboot but otherwise no effort.
