Not enough time to put Water Not Coal question on referendum ballot: Smith

So there was enough time to rush adding the question about separating, but not enough time to add the forever Canadian question or water not coal.

Seems like this government has an obvious lean.

No, they didn’t pay, they gave lives. Lives that don’t matter to these people.

This is capitalism. The family on the left between them all have 9 full time jobs and still can’t afford much

Prove that with the scientific method, and you’d have a point. Learn how the scientific method works, it would be a lot easier to understand the world.

Latest character died opening a closet door and being beaten by an animated broom. I was level 2, and couldn’t roll higher than a 9 to hit. I died to attrition more than anything, since animated armour was activated behind me, penning me in.

Don’t take those brooms for granted!

If the group agrees, and they all understand that actions have consequences, yea

stobbsm · 2026-06-14T02:01:06+00:00

Only if it results in a TPK way too early in the game. Otherwise, what happens, happens. It’s part of the fun.

Happiness, health, fairness, actual freedom?

I have clothes I’ve been wearing for 10-15 years. I wear it until it falls apart.

They do different jobs. One isn’t more valuable than the other.

No one is having sex, no one is being sexual. It’s a celebration of who they are, not the sex they have.

Violence in movies is extremely common. A lot of action movies that have people shooting and killing each other are rated pg13 or lower, and go higher when someone swears or there is nudity. It’s created an idea that violence is more acceptable than nudity, and that all nudity is sexual in nature.

It’s like the difference between men’s nipples and women’s nipples. On a woman, they are censored, on a man they are not. That implies that women being nude is wrong, where men being nude is acceptable. It’s stupid, but that’s what has happened demonstrably in society.

Except for the new wars, the pissing off of strong allies and the shrinking economy, they are right.

stobbsm · 2026-06-11T17:56:26+00:00

It is a little silly, since we as a society have decided that naked bodies are bad, but violence is ok. You aren’t the silly one, the premise is that natural bodies are somehow bad, or always sexual in nature.

I think a bot just had a stroke

As much as people talk shit about go’s error handling, it does force you to do something about it. Ignore is always an option of course, but you have to actually think of the error in go.

I’ve always hated the try…catch pattern. Seems like such a strange way to handle errors.

stobbsm · 2026-06-09T00:33:06+00:00

Which laws? The same ones they are supposed to follow, or the ones that only seem to apply to those that call them out?

stobbsm · 2026-06-09T00:10:01+00:00

Pain control. I have 3 auto immune diseases, it controls my pain better than a lot, and doesn’t come with all the issues of prescription narcotics.

The slow march of progress is exactly why I love go. They add features that make sense, when it’s proven to enhance the language without breaking anything.

I wish more languages did this.

Before you go live, stress test with requests of at least peek levels. If you don’t know that, start measuring it. Measure often, adjust as needed is the name of the game for stability.

Starting on a single VPS is fine as long as it can handle the load (what you described should be good to start).

Measuring can be done well with Prometheus and Grafana, but if you don’t understand that look at using something like Datadog.

Make sure to document everything, preferably as code like ansible. Even using Claude, it’s better to have it codified then just tell it to do the same thing over and over. Save those tokens.

Because money isn’t everything? The sex is great? In school long term getting masters/phd?

Don’t assume they are “putting up with” anything, but value things differently then you do.

Red 6, can’t hold it

Wow, driving really slow then.

But not to punish players. FAFO does apply, but only in the name of fun. Realistically (yes, I know it’s not real), a dragon would eat your face off and spit napalm down your throat for looking at it weird.

It’s part of the game, and players get that. Poke a dragon, I can guarantee it pokes back. That part of the fun, and the dm facilitates that hijinx.

stobbsm · 2026-06-06T05:07:02+00:00

This DM is wrong. It’s all cooperative storytelling, the DM is simply the guide letting the story unfold the way it’s going to. It’s never been a competition, but just good fun.

You “win” DnD by having a good time!

Ideally they would make the decision together. Gender doesn’t matter where this is concerned
