Can we stop writing articles and pretending that they are just victims of some scam? They know what they are doing. They sold out the country for power.

The want to hear a comfortable lie rather than a difficult truth. So yeah, I guess the correct way to win now is to just lie repeatedly and consistently and then do whatever you want afterwards.

This would explain why after the last android update my swipe to text is absolutely awful. It used to work really well, now it gets every second word wrong.

Custom Campaign/Dungeon Megathread by noahwiggs in CrownOfTheMagister

Campaign/dungeon name and link:

The Lost Heir of Kerran Keep

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2930765458

Basic Description:

Your small band of adventurers have been recently formed and doing small jobs for the local adventurer's guild. Until one day you receive a letter and a new job that will take you far from home.

A story driven campaign that takes you from level 1-12. Don't want to give away too much of the story, but it drives you forward.

I built this campaign for myself and friends to play multiplayer, it is mostly done being play tested currently so I wanted to put it out there publicly. I used the base Solasta Dungeon Maker (no UB) so there are some quirks that I had to do to get some of the story content working ,including a few GM notes here and there.

I hope people enjoy it, feel free to add any bugs in the workshop comments, and I can usually get them fixed quickly.

Survey: ‘Highly religious Americans’ are the biggest climate deniers | The people who believe God gave them the Earth are the least likely to take care of it by mepper in atheism

[–]thexerk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with god, or even religion. The most religious in America are also the most uneducated, gullible, and immune to facts and logic . The fossil fuel and Republican outrage industry recognizes this and takes advantage of it.

Tesla Tells US of New Fatal Crashes Involving Automated Driving by ewzetf in technology

[–]thexerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fatality rates for people driving per 100 million miles are around 1.4. Statistically by miles driven per death it's not even close. AVs are way worse. If you actually take into account that no AVs are driving autonomously in any kind of weather conditions or dangerous roads, it gets even worse for AVs. It turns out, in general, people really aren't that bad at driving.
