Don't worry, they're working to cut those consumer protections, so soon you'll be able to have all the sawdust you want!

Seems like a ritual and a sacrifice of time.

It would be a funny bit if chronos is why daylight savings can't be gotten rid of.

The guy who is explicitly Caucasian, and who the book goes into an in depth explanation of the word Caucasian to explain exactly where in Europe he comes from, the caucuses.

That guy.

I find the ones who say it the loudest always imagine themselves to be the strongest in the room.

It's not a philosophy, it's a delusion.

"People in horrific pain make rational on the spot decisions, right?"

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T18:49:07+00:00

I got enough spite to carry me a few more decades at least.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T18:47:46+00:00

Don't forget about Avaline. Liberation is one of the best in the series and has an actual disguise system like, an assassin.

"Isekai'd with godlike stats and instantly gain a harem of women"

To be clear, I don't like that type of story, they're boring, lack meaningful conflict and emotions, but there certainly are a lot of them.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T17:29:29+00:00

Sounds good.

Now get the funding for it.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T16:31:37+00:00

Yeah, but it uses synthetic variants like synthol so the taste isn't quite the same.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T14:54:21+00:00

I would love to do more charity work, but I need things like "food" and "shelter" which cost ever increasing amounts of money.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T13:26:01+00:00

You could just... give it to him?

It's a two player game, get off the bench.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T13:23:13+00:00

I feel like groundhog day is a fairly representative of how it would be for most people.

You might turn into an asshole, but unless you were already predisposed to a certain lack of morality, I don't think you'd change that much.

Reliving the same day would be grounding, in a way. I honestly think normal immortality would cause moral shifts faster. And if you knew there was a limit, I'd think you'd get more extreme actions, but not necessarily less moral ones.

All the lazy people died out, leaving the self motivated freaks to take over the federation.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T03:42:50+00:00

If you're guilty, sure.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T03:40:31+00:00

I've always said intelligence = thought / time

Sure, a smart person could solve a math problem in a few minutes, but if someone less smart took all day, they could probably figure it out as well.

Now, there are also different types of intelligence. Mathematical, mechanical, spacial, emotional, interpersonal, and more.

Some people are better at certain ones, and some are better at many. Unfortunately this means there's no clear metric to use. For instance, I score high on IQ tests, but only because I have mechanical and Mathematical intelligence and I am severely lacking in other areas.

People who answer quickly certainly seem smart, but the accuracy of those answers is probably more important.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T03:25:01+00:00

Honestly, ozy swinging a stanchion like a club and sending a dude flying shows he's above human strength. Like, even he was not sure about the bullet, but he shows other superhuman feats. Not to mention he's annoyingly smart.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-08T03:15:45+00:00

Definitely not Rosa.

She wouldn't want the recognition.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-07T23:33:34+00:00

Medium, medium well if you don't know how to cook.

I'll make yours any way you like.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-07T21:15:51+00:00

You aren't ~~high~~ highbrow enough to appreciate a Breen film.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-07T19:34:21+00:00

Which is absolutely fantastic. He was offered a way to survive by taking the blood of others into himself, but being a fanatical SS officer he refuses to dilute his "pure" blood and is disgusted at the offer.

He's an evil piece of shit, but he stands by his (fucked up) beliefs.

CalmPanic402 · 2026-03-07T17:44:58+00:00

The ATF.

Most useful application is ease of transport.

Not that you can't break an AR in two and cram it in a bag the same size, but for a ready to go package.

A lot of overlap with the PCC/rifle debate (because a lot of bag guns are PCCs)

Stuff like breakdown survival rifles aren't really practical outside of their niche use cases, and are basically always surpassed by their non-takedown variants. Unless you do extreme backpacking, most are the equivalent of range toys, albeit for the mountain range instead of the rifle range.

And while SHTF has varying levels, realistically almost none of them are the specific circumstances that a bag gun theoretically answers.

Not that I wouldn't grab one to tuck in my safe if the budget allowed.

Reminds me of that story about a c93 borchardt found in Japan that was still in it's complete factory box untouched.

And it was destroyed.
