One-page RPGs might be better for this than 5e or 5.24. There are literally thousands of them and most of them are free or really cheap.
I swear I’m not saying this just to be mean, but the other problem is that lemmy.world is really boring. Like, actually go through the .world front page and imagine having to respond - even positively - to the majority of these posts.
That’s fucked up and I’m sorry. Your thesis sounds much better than the same silly essay about Margaret Thatcher.
The Death Panel Podcast is really good :)
How would identifying with Palestinians make you less empathetic and rush to the defense of the US?
I can’t tell if you’re doing “both sides”, “all lives matter”, or “whataboutism”. Other people care about things outside of meaningless platitudes.
I kinda agree
What aspects do you agree and disagree with? This doesn’t tend to be a topic people are lukewarm about.
I think that the US should stop doing genocide
Sure, we’re not really organized in that way though. I’m just here for fun.
I sorta think it’s easier to reach people in person cause there’s an existing relationship with some level of trust, but people can do both.
Mr. President, sir, let me first say thank you for your commitment to the American people… Your administration has not yet released a statement regarding the new Esperanza Spalding album, Milton + esperanza, should such a statement be expected in the coming weeks? Taxpayers were concerned to find tracks from the album absent from Former President Obama’s 2024 summer playlist.
TANKIE!
Their corrupt state handouts
Our public-private partnerships
basically the military took fewer pictures and worse pictures.
So, scientists have observed Earth’s nightlights for more than four decades, first with astronaut photography and military satellites. Since the 1960s, the U.S. Air Force has operated the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), a series of 18 polar-orbiting satellites that observe clouds and other weather variables in key wavelengths of infrared and visible light. Starting in 1972, the DMSP satellites included the Operational Linescan System (OLS), which gives weather forecasters some ability to see in the dark.
While DMSP has been a source of nighttime images for decades, until fairly recently the data were classified, which meant that only a few civilian scientists could conveniently gain access to study the data. The atmospheric science community was eager to have a more accessible night-vision tool to better understand weather and climate patterns and phenomena. Finally, in 2011, a new source of unclassified satellite images of Earth at night became available—one that improved upon the capabilities of OLS. The new low-light sensor was called the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), and was launched in October 2011 onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite—a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Department of Defense

I always did like the mystique of the anarchist cookbook in that it was maybe not even real, but the magic around hacking was so fun in that era. You could just download a ddos program on like limewire that was actually a keylogger and be like “I’m doing crimes!” IIRC there was a whole section on payphone hacking and how to dial at unlisted numbers (they just immediately disconnect you lol). Everyone botted runescape and there was that dubdub website that shook your computer windows.
Ideologically, I feel like getting info from many sources is better than a secret tome because it’s more participatory. I kinda hate that someone published a real ‘anarchist cookbook’. Security stuff always kinda reads like larping to me, but I’m also not really into computers. Presumably tails or kali devs have a guide on modern hacking stuff, but idk maybe not.
An anarchist ‘anarchist cookbook’ would unironically have some great bean recipes though
Roll ball for fun
Maybe the play Hadestown? Prometheus stealing fire from the gods probably works. Most of Aesops fables are vaguely left-ish and can definitely be spun as so. The bible-related commie phrase is usually the pre-king-james lord’s prayer: “Forgive us our debts as we forgive those who are indebted to us.” There’s a theory about the axial age being a response to coinage. I wouldn’t say it’s airtight, but it’s a fun thing to believe lol. Honestly, I find myths more interesting without recontexualizing them because a lot of polytheistic stuff has regional and cultural aspects to it that doesn’t really get translated to "god of fire, goddess of death, etc.
fair enough lol
nice, thank you
Well, my apt management company has been fired for water in light fixtures and our fire alarms being disconnected on their end. The new management company is a multi-level marketing scheme somehow and our only contact’s linkedin bio is about “minimizing costs and maximizing profits”. Looking up the company gives a bunch of NYT articles about SA and abuse scandals. I have no way to contact the landlord at all. I need to get out of here lmao.
