Imagine firing your professors of Middle Eastern studies for talking about current events in the Middle East

You know that scifi trope where someone reaches into a bit of tech, and rips out a blinking tracker? Get ready to have to do that when you buy a new phone

Depends on the DM. Might be more of a squeeze

Depends on if they’d completed the reform of the afterlife by the 24th century on Earth

This guy’s opinion is totally valid, but I would not want him at my table. My favorite part of TTRPGs is the collaborative storytelling. It is a lot of work for everyone, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Your GM is putting a lot of effort in no matter what anyway, so it’s nice to get that back from the players as well

Nah, see, the way they see it, that Uber driver isn’t a human being

I’m glad the did make her Kai. I hate her, but she was great

If they’re not the ones to give us that data, who would? Polling experts in the field is different from asking fisherman if they think we should eat fish

Never underestimate the power of a nice solid doorway

Humanity’s strongest trait evolutionarily, except for maybe our intelligence, is our endurance and ability to shrug off injury. I think the mindset that caused, is the reason we’re so slow to address problems

Isn’t Australia still part of the Commonwealth?

Then teach the skills you learned to do it in a healthy way. That’s kind of how everything works with kids. They have to eat healthily, respect adults healthily, study healthily, etc. All of those things are bad if they aren’t taught how by the adults in their life

You’re mostly right, but I do not trust this court to consider precedent, or even the law

Not the hero we needed, but the one we deserved

You’re right in this, and your other comment, but if OP isn’t ready for “sometimes animals eat each other in nature,” I don’t think they’re ready for the complexities of what it means to be human, and the fact that we are also animals, but have some unique behaviors

They can do those things because they’ve been beneficial. Cats domesticated themselves because living with humans makes them safer. Their meows are cute, because that makes us want to protect them. They are absolutely capable of love, but they’re still animals

Animals can’t be evil. They’re amoral. They don’t philosophize, they don’t feel guilt; they don’t comprehend life in the same way that we do. Both cruelty and mercy are human constructs. All animals can do is try to guarantee survival for themselves and their offspring. They’ve all evolved into a specific niche, and these behaviors you deride are just instincts that have successfully ensured the survival of their ancestors, and so were passed on. If you can’t handle the idea that animals in general sometimes kill to survive, get a plant
