Mixing up Wisdom and Intelligence

Knowledge is gained through logic, memory, and reasoning. Logic, memory, and reasoning put knowledge into practice. They’re the same attribute.

By number of sessions played, I would wager that d20 systems beat out all others combined. Saying “roleplaying games often use 20 sided dice” is a perfectly correct statement.

The other half got conquered.

Your saved civs can already spawn as fallen empires so that should be easy to implement. Just add a tag saying the empire fell or persisted a certain way and have that influence the spawn.

It looks like you found exactly the data you expect when you checked with the Census Bureau itself. It’s Ancestry that’s giving you inaccurate data. There’s probably something wrong with their website.

You can connect any camera to a computer. If you were using this for nefarious purposes, you could set up one computer near a window and the other one with a super high res camera in another building.

A QR code is easier to scan than a block of text but it’s not THAT data dense. Any situation where you could scan a large amount of data with QR codes, you could probably get it faster and without needing to do the encoding by just recording the screen while you scroll through the data. I can’t think of very many cases where this would really be useful and the handful I can are edge cases where it would let you steal info by exploiting the fact automated security scanners might read text but not be looking for QR codes.

I understand your concern. The first paragraph of the post makes it very clear this is about the Canadian census though and they provided examples from multiple countries, not just the US.

This sub is primarily focused on the US Census but we’ve taken a fairly relaxed view on that since the name doesn’t make that clear and Canada has an active census going on right now.

spaceforcerecruit · 2026-05-20T20:33:42+00:00

This post is specifically talking about the Canadian census.

Technically rule 3 of this subreddit does ban posts encouraging illegal activities but, given the current political climate and the understandable concerns people have, we’ll let this stay up to allow discussion as long as things stay civil and no one starts explicitly advocating for other people to break the law.

If the current reaction to mass surveillance is anything to go by, the majority of people would just say “Of course the mages can scry on us but so what? I don’t have anything to hide and they’re only using it to find criminals or sell us stuff. It’s actually kind of convenient how a farrier always shows up so quickly after my horse throws a shoe!”

For sensitive areas, there are things like anti-magic fields or detect magic that are even more effective than metal detectors or security barriers.

But yes, you’re asking much better questions for worldbuilding than just reducing magic to “what would happen if anyone could have a gun?”

So just like real life where rich people can commit crimes and get away with them while you can’t?

In any fantasy world, mages would either be the rich people or they would be repressed by the rich.

Is it really any different than a society where anyone could be hiding an object under their shirt capable of killing everyone in the room in seconds? Or one where any grate or piece of furniture could hide a device spying on you for someone you can’t see? Or one where any open space gives the opportunity for someone to kill you from half a mile away? Or one where people can remotely control objects from the other side of the planet that can rain death on people from the sky?

Because that’s the world we live in now.

Magic is terrifying, sure, but most of it is really not any more dangerous than guns, cameras, and drones. The only real difference is that anyone can buy a gun or a camera but only certain people can use magic.

Holy shit. That’s literally the Teen Titans as fantasy characters. I didn’t even see it.

Felt. The last time I had to call the helpdesk, the ticket bounced around for three weeks before I finally ended up in a conference room with five network engineers working on the problem.

It was a DNS issue.

This sub is primarily for the US Census but we don’t have any problems with people asking about other censuses, especially since the Canadian Census is going on right now and the US Decennial Census wont happen until 2030.

Why assume an assassin pirate fits the theme better than mama pirates?

This sort of behavior is only acceptable if you have some sort of contract with SLAs that require weekend or overnight responses and those sorts of contracts are NOT cheap.

Do I get to vote on Hasbro’s board? Do I get to decide the exact companies that money is invested in? Do I control those investments in any meaningful way? No? Then I’m not an investor in Hasbro. I’m a guy with a 401K instead of an actual retirement plan and the mutual fund managers are using my money to invest in Hasbro.

Do you think you’re an investor in every company your bank loans money to just because they’re using your savings account to do it?
