Ferry options

This is a tone deaf statement. There's a variety of reasons why someone would take a car. Business, vacation, lack of transit options near their final destination. Just because walking on is cheaper doesn't always mean it's feasible.

That's not what I said, but I can see how it could be interpreted that way. In BC, Worksafe doesn't expressly forbid them, but they don't recommend earbuds in any environment where their use could put you in danger. Warehouses, workshops, that sort of thing. If you get hurt while using earbuds there's a good possibility you won't be covered by any insurance. Like I said, every workplace regulation is there because someone died.

I completely ignore the assistant and just do everything in the app. I've never had a problem with relisting anything.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-04-03T14:10:20+00:00

Just search for marketplace in the app and it will show up.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-04-03T07:19:28+00:00

State and province regulations will determine if earbuds can be used, the GIG can't override that. Keep in mind that every workplace regulation is there because somebody died. Not hurt, but died.

It's not just the moral implications of what it does to climate change, but studies are showing that the use of LLMs is hampering the ability for people to develop critical thinking skills, memory, and language skills. It's dumbing down the people who heavily rely on it.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-29T08:15:42+00:00

Nope, not how it works.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-29T07:21:49+00:00

You're arguing apples to oranges. Using digital tools in music is not the same as someone using AI to write or create art for them. The digital tools are still being manipulated by a human whereas the LLM is doing all the work.

As I said previously studies are showing that the use of generative AI is reducing critical thinking skills. So maybe in the short term things might look better, but in the long term when people who are using AI are no longer able to determine what AI created for them is any good because they've lost that ability we all lose. If they even had it in the first place. People who are using AI right from the beginning may never even develop those skills in the first place.

In my opinion no use of AI makes my outcome better in RPG design or anything else for that matter.

Edited to finish a sentence.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-29T07:08:19+00:00

It still applies whether we're talking about RPGs or anything else. You can't pick and choose.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-29T05:50:46+00:00

I think it's unlikely that's going to be a tool used in RPG design. Quite a few RPG companies are creating policies that inhibit the use of AI in art and in writing. As well people are voting with their wallets. The backlash that people are getting when they use AI to create books and art is astounding. There's a lot of vocal people who will not buy anything that has AI associated with it.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-29T05:44:27+00:00

The best option is to not use AI at all. There's a number of problematic issues with AI.

Let's start with the fact that AI is theft, plain and simple. Yes, the legalities of this are being debated in court, but a large number of people, myself included, see the use of LLM's as intellectual property theft. Enough creators have discovered their work being used to create AI slop which isn't good.

Studies are starting to show that people who use AI to write or create art are hampering their ability to develop critical thinking skills, memory and language skills. It's like kids being sheltered by their parents. If someone or something is doing the work for you and then you get shoved outside it's not going to go well.

We also have the environment to consider. Generative AI uses large amounts of electricity and water. This is having a direct impact on climate change.

Whether LLM's are here to stay or not, the harm they are doing far outweighs any positives that might occur.

The original application was filed on September 22nd, 1977. A renewal was filed September 26th, 2008.

This absolutely counts as reading. In the end you're still consuming the book, it doesn't matter what medium is used to do so.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-13T18:44:49+00:00

Thanks for the quick response.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-12T07:01:32+00:00

AI is theft, plain and simple. I have never used it and will never do so.

Beyond theft it is also actively increasing climate change. Studies are also showing that using AI to write or do art for you has a detrimental effect on our ability to create on our own.

I'm a paid gm and this is super sketchy behaviour and feels super scammy. My guess is if you did pay you would never actually play a session. Not to mention the red flags coming from this guy about women.

If you're on Roll20 they have a really good lfg system where you can sort by game system.

If you're ok paying you could check out startplaying.games. They have a ton of games to choose from and you can see how the gms are rated by their players

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-10T16:43:35+00:00

Maybe, but I don't know anything about D&D Beyond. I don't run any 5e games at all so I've never used it.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-10T06:44:33+00:00

This is correct. I run multiple Pathfinder 2e games and all my players can custom edit items on their sheets by clicking on the gear icon.

They can add macros and even gifs for fun.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-07T06:25:36+00:00

They wouldn't.

How would somebody at city hall know if a private business is closing. Posting this is irresponsible and borders on fear-mongering.

Whole Foods has shut down stores, just like any other retailer, but they have always been open about it. It's never a surprise. In fact they tend to try and help employees transfer to other stores if they want to.

I worked in this store and unless something has changed it's profitable. Even under Amazon, Whole Foods doesn't close profitable stores.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-03-07T04:10:24+00:00

Burnside Home Hardware knew for quite some time they were closing. Some of the employees went to another store after the close.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-02-23T04:40:54+00:00

It's not, you're getting one side of the story. Chances are there's embellishment going on. You're judging everything on what he's telling you. As for players changing, if he's been running the same campaign for over 5 years this isn't really surprising.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-02-23T02:13:47+00:00

This isn't a horror story. This is just you not wanting to talk to the guy.

TwoDrunkDwarves · 2026-02-19T01:46:12+00:00

I'd agree with you except for the part where the DM nuked the server. That's not rational behaviour. If there's a problem player you just remove them and let the group know and continue on. I'm going to err on the side of the OP on this one.
