RIFTS has a certain “Je ne sais quoi” that you really can’t get in other games, even Savage RIFTS doesn’t do it. It’s this horror game masquerading as a power fantasy where the mechanics are as hard to handle as the in game tech but with the right GM it’s a masterpiece of high powered insanity.

The last paragraph, he starts the paragraph saying the official government stance is the two state solution and sovereignty of Palestine

Refugees from r/pyongyang finding their way to Lemmy

Not really an option there unless you feel the country or subject yourself to arrest, everyone is a conscript there isn’t really a separation of civilian and military life

The famous tragedy of the commons essay was written by a eugenicist to spread propaganda

You’re not wrong about that interpretation, that’s definitely a solid one. I was taking it a little bit more “individualistic” hence my use of the word libertarian. I was seeing it more as him going “these people made their choice they deserve what they get” with no concern for the societal structures that may have put those people into prison. It’s also just how much he sees himself as righteous and better than others. However your interpretation of him basically just being the police taken to their logical extreme is definitely a true one, though I do find it somewhat undercut by the people stopping the “bad cop” are the “good cops”

Yeah but that’s kind of the point. Light is a hyper libertarian big brain asshole who thinks he can decide right and wrong while getting his kicks killing people who he thinks “deserve it”. He doesn’t actually care about making anyone’s lives better or righting actual societal injustice, he only cares that he is god among men.

I’ve used lines and veils before but that was because it was my first time running for those players and wasn’t very familiar with what is or is not ok for them

Thus the practice of drag was born

Called out half the population of le plateau

Yeah I don’t know why so many comments are just being doomerist about this. Montréal is explicitly doing this to improve urbanism (literally what they say in the article) not just to make a condo.

It’s a play on words joke

You do that already, and it’s even worse actually because everyone has an even more individual and sometimes difficult to remember thing about them you have to balance in a social situation. It’s called a name. You have to be told it, you can easily forget it, and it’s a social slight to call someone the wrong name. Right now gender expression feels uncomfortable to have to tell people because of the politisation and stigma pressed on it, but it doesn’t have to be anything different than asking for someone’s name to better address them.

As an organizational psychologist (the people HR people pretend to be when they talk about anything besides paperwork) these stories hurt me to my core. I absolutely despise how much HR lives up to its name of treating people like they are staplers in a supply closet. The way most companies are run is so shitty and short sited it’s unreal.

I think everyone is, especially the people who are thought of as less capable by the colour their skin

Typical for the conservatives here

This is a situational judgement test, not a personality test, they are not the same thing

I live in this neighborhood, let me tell you, you fucking don’t. I don’t own a car, I have 0 problem getting anywhere or doing anything. If I ever need that kind of vehicle our city had an entire service to easily get one for very cheap.

Also this isn’t even an article, it’s just a picture of travel books

I’m surprised more user friendly distros don’t have this, especially more commercial ones
