I'm an outlier I guess. I don't think I have any subscriptions.

The people who pushed for such a blatantly unconstitutional law should be removed from office.

That kind of person isn't reasoning. They are feeling. It's like a nightmare, where you walk down a hall and then it's a swimming pool, and you look up and you're in an airport. It's just an emotional dreamscape.

In other words, they are stupid.

We know. The problem is a lot of idiots want trump as a dictator.

I've heard good things about kagi, but $10/mo is pretty steep

I also blame search engines. I type like "python file open parameters" and I really just want the official docs. They're not even on the first page of DDG.

I would accept a compromise that bans targeted advertising. Static ads have been around for probably as long as writing, and they're not great but they're not the nightmare spy dystopia.

He left you unattended in his apartment? Bold.

Don't just stay there all day. Go home. Make plans for a third date. That's weird to just stay there.

The biggest problem is most players aren't paying attention and won't remember everything.

If you do elves and dwarves, they'll have some idea of what's happening.

If you do the Wilfren and the Senderri, they won't. Even if you explain it a dozen times. Even if you show them in a dozen scenes.

I may just have trauma from being in poorly fitting groups, but I think getting people to learn a bunch of your custom lore is always going to be a long shot.

If you make the world collectively, you'll have a better chance of it working. But some players hate being creative like that.

I don't disagree with your post but I'm pretty sure the joke in the meme is the one calling themselves a nice guy is actually an asshole. That's revealed in the "stop ignoring my DMs" ending. So it's not actually a pro "nice guy" meme. Which you probably got, but maybe missed it?

The problem is capitalism. Specifically, the consolidation of power in a small number of decision makers.

Break up the big companies. Stop letting them do mergers and acquisitions. You don't even have to do something radical like dismantling capitalism entirely.

That seems like that's going to give you an error in most type checkers. You said it's always an int and then immediate made that a lie and made it None instead.

Why are you trying to do this?
