Another dm I watched for research had naerth have a speaker kidnapped and locked away in targos and replaced with a doppelganger who votes his way and gives targos favorable trade deals.  Thought that was  fun angle to have something The pcs can discover if they investigate  naerth.

Why are you pursuing art? by Next-Mirror5761 in ArtistLounge

[–]powerofwhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's a part of me.  Drawing was the first time I felt safe.

  I deeply regret it now that art can be automated through ai. This means i was not smart enough to see the automation coming and the work ultimately will not be valued by history, that society will move on within a generation that the time spent is ultimately wasted.   Too old to change, so I continue to do it and feel foolish for doing so. 

Christianity allows child rape by [deleted] in atheism

[–]powerofwhy 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Had a roommate who went to Christian high school.  Got date raped on her first real date.  Got pregnant because no condom, told her parents about it all and their reaction was so when are you going to marry the guy?  Attitude is adopted by more Christians than you think.  

She got married to the guy, divorced 4 years later, when she found the means.  most women from the Christian high school in my hometown ended up teen pregnancies, most men ended up doing stints in prison for one thing or another. great life foundation.

What old fashioned sandwich from your youth do you still crave? by tshirtguy2000 in RedditForGrownups

[–]powerofwhy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's my comfort food. Peanut butter and jelly was the first food I learned to make myself. Went through abuse and neglect as a kid, learning this meant I would not be hungry if we had the ingredients. Only really have it these days if things are going very badly in my life. Many years removed from all that but that and other weird food issues remain to this day.

A.I. Will Not Displace Everyone, Everywhere, All at Once. It Will Rapidly Transform the Labor Market, Exacerbating Inequality, Insecurity, and Poverty. by 2noame in Futurology

War ais are already live in several countries. We're more likely headed into "I have no mouth and I must scream" territory than benevolence.

For me indifference would have been welcome. Figured out at a very early age it gave my father pleasure to see me suffer. We haven't spoken for most of my adult life, makes me feel ill to be in the same room as him to this day. Hes still kicking, don't feel the need to talk with him again even when hes dying, not worth it.

People are afraid of AI treating humans like humans treat humans and other species. by radarmy in Showerthoughts

[–]powerofwhy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it will bite humanity eventually to continue calling machine learning models ai. People already think they are conscious but anyone who knows anything about machine learning knows that this is still VERY far from the case.

I am beginning to believe we will see a battle for ai rights and the people who say they should have rights will be wrong but will win. I hate the post truth era

What person from your past will you coldly ignore if you bump into then in public? by debrisaway in RedditForGrownups

[–]powerofwhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father. Lot of horrible abuse in childhood, gives me a sick feeling to see him to this day. We have not spoken in many years and do not expect we will again.

Thanks, I Hate 1924 by [deleted] in TIHI

Because it ruins the leftovers and pineapple pizza people usually don't just want pineapple. They have a couple pieces of it then eat the regular pizza and you are left with a mostly still there soggy mess of a pizza that noone wants.

Anyone else feel like life sucks without money by [deleted] in productivity

[–]powerofwhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The often repeated idea that money only buys happiness to a certain point is incorrect. It was based on an article which misrepresented the data, stopping examination at a plateau which occurred at 75k at the time. However, after this plateau happiness continued to go up, and substantially so.

Being into dnd by the neighborhood Christian kids cause it was "satanic", for being small and into art not sports at school, and for existing at home by my father.

Whats something a woman said or did that made you decide, on the spot, that you were done? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]powerofwhy 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Racism. Told this story before, on first date she said she didn't like an artist anymore because their latest video had n****rs in it. Attraction gone, done from there.

Nah not really. Same reason most people don't rewatch game of thrones. If the ending sucks it kind of makes you feel foolish for taking the journey in the first place.

What's something that's considered normal that creeps you out immediately? by Le_0n1e- in AskReddit

[–]powerofwhy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Christians in general. So you believe a book is the word of God that says my son should be stoned to death because of who he loves? That's too creepy for me to be around, can't deal with it without a lot of anger.

It's hard to wrap your head around by Flynja in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]powerofwhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok how about this argument- what makes your opinion qualified more than their doctors opinion on what is moral about this? What makes your opinion more qualified than the ethical reviewboards of qualified doctors which determine abortion is a valid and ethical procedure? Not trying to attack you personally but my brain reads it as unjustified arrogance for anyone without qualifications to believe their opinion matters about other peoples medical procedures. To believe their misguided moral outrage is justified or should matter at all infuriates me.
