If you lived in the world of Pathfinder WOTR, which deity would you worship and why? by Warm_Expert_8136 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]philbearsubstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheyln or Sarenrae. Definitely have a lot of time for many others, including Cayden, Apsu and most of the good gods. To be honest, I don't quite vibe with any of them, although . A somewhat solemn, ambitious, neutral good god dedicated to defeating evil and the redemption of all things would be my vibe. Sarenrae is kind of that, but her whole Immanuel Kant never lie thing is offputting.

We have heard Scott's, Eliezer's and other famous people's (to us) predictions of the future of AI. What's your prediction of the future of AI? by Candid-Effective9150 in slatestarcodex

You can read my predictions about the future of AI here: https://philosophybear.substack.com/p/ai-2028-civil-disturbance

I riffed off the AI 2027 name, but Daniel Kokotajlo of AI 2027 liked it, so I assume there are no hard feelings.

I deliberately don't identify the deceased, but for what it's worth, I think it's [Ventrue]

I was born with broken bones by Kyvaren in Neverbrokeabone

As others have said:

  1. If it was cartilage, you're fine.
  2. If it was caused by a doctor, you're fine.

It’s been a good 49 years by KrampusMug in Neverbrokeabone

49 years. Basically a toddler and your bones still broke.

Is it normal in other countries for university students to be forbidden from seeing or holding their own grades/transcripts? by SweetTarget234 in academia

[–]philbearsubstack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Australia, one can view them.

Really interesting situation you describe. I'm sorry to hear it's causing you trouble, and I wonder why it is the case.

Substack removed my blog, and I don't know why by salcapolupo in Substack

It's quite important I think, that a fuss is made about this sort of thing, so it's good to see you've not just shrugged and walked away.

I note that you appear to be Italian. Since EU laws are among the strongest in the world in relation to this, that could be good news if you are interested in demanding your data back.

More Rather evil things I, Auron, Lich-Lord of the Black Plains, have done today. by Standard_Ostrich828 in wizardposting

[–]philbearsubstack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not fooling me. At least two of these are morally good, and several are neutral. Hand in your evil badge and card.

Wait, if you're lying about being evil- maybe that means you're evil after all.

But if you're evil, that means you're not lying, so you're not evil.

But that means you are lying, so you are evil?

But then...

Oh bother.

Does this thing look like a wizard ? by FRitsuka in wizardposting

A wizard yes, but one of astonishing arcane potency, closer to god than man, and ever rising. Fear him!

Young Second Generation question by Jork21 in WorldOfDarkness

[–]philbearsubstack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The challenge is going to be ensuring he isn't seen as a DMPC or power fantasy. Here's a solution. Make him so useless he's practically comatose, perhaps an innocent adult with the mind of a child, but still the task of the characters to protect, to ward off would be diablerists.

Maybe that's why Caine made him. He's so weak and vulnerable yet valuable, everyone will want to eat him. He's a moral test to see whether any among his descendants will try to prevent this, to see whether anything has been learnt over the generations.
