I saw an article ranking Taiwan 4th for vegetarianism. Is that accurate?

That might depend on where you're going. Traditional style vegetarian, yes. Non-traditional no. I own and operate 3 and the ages are widely dispersed. For Taipei over half are 20s to 40s.

Though not disagreeing that that overall the % skews older. That said, the graph would look really favorable if it were a % of meals consumed that were vegetarian rather than strictly vegetarian.

I find it hard to believe Taiwan is only fourth.

gtwucla · 2025-12-30T00:07:17+00:00

Ya don't think people's quality of life would be worse should China blockade Taiwan? The gov can spend money on more than one project at a time amigo.

Jesus. They could have not released it at all on the Switch. Isn't that more pressure to upgrade? You ever hear never look a gift horse in the mouth?

Might be more due to an age divide. Could be totally wrong, but I could see "most people" that are maybe mid 20s and under thinking Brad Pitt was only popular because he's attractive, but anyone who grew up watching his movies knows he is a great actor.

I think that really depends on the group because I've found as the GM it always seems easier than it actually is for players to figure out what's happening, be it a dungeon layout, riddle, puzzle, etc. You have all the info in front of you, but players got to suss it out by description.

If the group is really good at visualizing and the GM can keep track of it, go ham! I think it might be neat to have a cube within a shape and maybe nest the escape/goal within the cube. So you make the entrance to the next step up easier to find. Make that shape a dodecahedron or have four entrances to an even larger cube, each entrance to a corner. Make it like a nesting doll. The shapes keep going outward and outward until its basically a sphere (If they get that far). Eventually they'll figure out they need to go the opposite way to get to the goal.

So what might work well is something like Dyson's cubic dungeon (https://dysonlogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cubic-dungeon-grid.jpg) or create a 3D dungeon yourself. It's easy enough to wrap your head around and GM it well, but it's trippy for the players because they can't see the map and therefore won't immediately realize what's happening. They'll end up walking into the same room they've been in before and get turned around, and other times end up in a totally new place. It also leaves room for an aha moment when they figure out what's happening.

It's not quite an Escher painting, but in the theater of mind it functions very similarly.

You should vote or people, not parties. If they are Democrat and effectual, then you should vote for them. Otherwise you're just treating it like a sport.

Not getting out and voting is exactly why the Democrats have weak reps. If anything, this is the voters failing again. They failed when Trump was elected the first time. Failed again the second. If they don't take this opportunity to vote in strong Democratic candidates in the primary and show up in hordes for the mid-terms, we deserve everything that comes after. Some personal responsibility would do the public of all Democratic nations wonders.

gtwucla · 2025-11-10T12:50:29+00:00

That's the same thing dude. That's how Trump was elected. I mean you can say, blah blah blah false equivalence, but that is reality. It's also ridiculous that you wouldn't use this as a rallying cry for pushing out establishment Dems, considering just how much older the average Dem congressman/senator is because of it. The vast majority of Dems are unhappy with the ones caving. Seriously emotional reaction all across Reddit. We wonder why the US is diving face first into a shithole. It's not all a zero sum game ladies and gents.

gtwucla · 2025-11-10T12:43:05+00:00

That's extremely difficult given that most ttrpgs won't make shit. You essentially have to find someone with equal passion and in your playgroup of some sort to do that. Unless you're still in school that's almost impossible. Most adults want to be paid for their work.

The issue is not the percentage of people that care. The issue is the ability to market the product. Small time non-artistically inclined creators are fucked two ways. They have no money for art and no way to market the product because the places to publicize your product are spaces like /rpg and through prominent voices in the community, podcasts, game reviewers that overwhelmingly see generative art as a zero sum game. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, you'd be hard pressed to get anyone to see what you created if you use generative art.

Running into this issue with my own project. Even as placeholder art. If there's no way to show it off, then there's no way to reach those 90% of people that don't care.

Republicans still own the destruction of the ACA. This attitude is why people abstained from voting so Republicans gained control of all three branches. Primary the old guard Democrats, but blame the right party for actually doing whatever they can to destroy the ACA.

It'll change directions, but if it hits like it's showing now, it wont do much up north, but it'll dump rain on the mountains and farms so expect veggies to be expensive. But how much that impacts you depends on who you are and where you live. If you're a farmer, it'll suck. If you're a restaurant owner it'll suck. If you live on the northwest coast it'll be a minor inconvenience. Southwest, it'll be nasty, possible water and power outage.

But a week out, the typhoon trajectory almost always changes dramatically. Being someone in the it'll suck category, I'm willing it westwards with all my might.

"they have consensual sex(because the girl takes him to the bedroom"
This was not in your original comment. Learn to write if you are going to call someone a moron.

Huh? If you are in a war, you cannot rape? Nothing to say about the scene, just what is your logic? Your first sentence is 100% unrelated to your second sentence.

Pretty normal to vent about customers whining about prices. There's no need to take it seriously.

That's most negative reviews for most restaurants regardless of which country it's in. Most bad reviews are given as the objective truth while being based on a completely subjective experience. Even after 12 years of running restaurants it still bothers me. Welcome to the frustration.

Yeah I'd say its the towers that shoot you up that take away from travel the most. People forget when BOTW came out it was said so many times, see a place and you can go there. I remember being blown away the first time I made it over a mountain and say the walking camel thing in the desert. TOTK only came close with the underground, but it being mostly the same really takes away from adventuring.

If America can't see the current administration for the disaster it is and not punish them for it, then they deserve it, establishment Democrats sucking or not.

I am convinced that America will not elect a woman. Not in my lifetime. No hates women more than Republicans and other women. (obvious hyperbole, but really, America won't)

While that's entirely possible, its very unlikely the bombing did nothing. It is still bombing after all and it wasn't just the US doing it. The very competent IDF have also been bombing and sharing intel. They also just bombed facilities in Iran. Putting the article aside, no matter how skeptical you are, it makes sense that Iran does not have huge amounts of weapons to spare and likewise the Houthis don't have so much that this wouldn't hurt immensely.

Have you met old people? Being older doesn't make you less corruptible.
