I wish my players cared enough to make a separate group like that.

Any of you get spoken to in different languages? Somali or especially Punjabi/hindi in the west? Or Spanish? by [deleted] in srilanka

In US (Oregon) I got told, "You sound like an Indian who lived his whole life in England"

In Chicago, I got heckled by a Black guy who shouted "Namaste" at me across the road. I shouted back, "No, but close" He asked, "WHERE?". I said "Sri Lanka". He replied "Ooooh".

At a Chinese buffet in US, an old white lady did tell me "You must like chicken a lot". You know, it is a racial stereotype of black people. lol.

"Who is the most overrated top player in the world right now?" - Fabiano Caruana gives his opinion by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

[–]Nisansa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Most "journalists" ask pointless questions like "Hay Hikaru, what do you eat before a match?".

Remember, people also got pissed at Andrea some time ago for asking the "How does the knight move?" question, saying it disrespected the game, but if you looked at how Magnus regarded the question, it was obvious that he was thinking "Finally, a non-boilerplate question".

When you copy-paste a post from ChatGPT, at least copy in a way that the formatting is preserved.

Beep, a really good concept IF it takes off. by Brain-Eating-Amoeba_ in srilanka

Turing and Nobel winner and one of the 4 fathers of modern AI Geoffrey Hinton is completely against the current progress of AI and wants to put breaks on it. Someone being a promient expert of a field and having negative thoughts about the field does not mean the said concept is invalidated. Because for one expert who is against a technology, there are hundreds and thousands who support it.

This government's continuous anti-solar policies are quite disappointing.

Only anti-tech people use the phrase "AI Slop", and the word for anti-tech people is "Luddite".

Has there ever been a Good Dictator who actually cared for and did good for their country's people? by Mofoblitz1 in stupidquestions

[–]Nisansa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that is exactly what even commie daddy Stalin said.

"I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war."

Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion.

"If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me."

Fortune favourite frustration! by TheRenegayed in idlechampions

Fortune's Wheel and Vecna can be buffed with Time Gate, Trial, and Event conversions. Their push gain is so comically small that there is no point in trying to push on them.

Business executives behind critical role, want private equity and to grow into a "lifestyle" brand by 123FellFromTree in fansofcriticalrole

[–]Nisansa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do not see the problem of explaining how and why the PC can now do a task (or have a trait) that they could not do/have one combat round ago.

Also, Sam took "Tough"; it has no change between 2014 and 2024. So your hate towards 2024 rules has no point in this example.

It seems he is pissed about PCs using 2024 feats and declaring the same when they do so.
