  • Three are orange and one is brown. The brown one, however, is a little older and appears to be from a different litter.

  • I love Pathfinder 2E! I'm a pretty new player, but it's captured my heart. The three-action economy is great and offers so much freedom. The characters are INSANELY customizable, and I love how multiclassing works. And to top it all off, everything you need to play is free! Only the lore and campaigns have to be purchased. Plus, iirc, Paizo has vowed never to use generative AI in their works!

  • If americans come to germany and act like german public Transport is the best, how frickin bad is american public Transport?

    Jump

  • Fuck you, that's how. It's pretty much only cars. Not having a car isn't really an option here, unless maybe you live in the heart of a big city.

  • What abilities would it erode? Your ability to spell? But the only difference is whether you take the 10 seconds to google the spelling or let autocorrect do it for you. That's not a meaningful difference.

    Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space.

  • But... the person you're replying to didn't say you don't need to use a wheelchair. They said that if someone genuinely doesn't need to use a wheelchair, using one will likely have negative effects. Which is just, like, true? In my head, it's roughly akin to saying, "If you consistently take a medication you don't need, you're probably going to wind up needing a different medication to counteract the negative effects of the medication you unwisely took."

    You're completely right that wheelchairs are liberation tools and shouldn't be vilified. And as someone who needs medical intervention to survive, I understand your frustration with ableist rhetoric. I just think your reading of this one is a bit off the mark.

  • But if you start consistently using a wheelchair when there is no physical reason for you to use one, will your muscles not atrophy, thereby making you need it?

    I don't think this metaphor is inherently ableist. That wheelchairs aren't being pushed onto anyone isn't really relevant, nor is the fact that very few people fake needing a wheelchair. I don't think the person you replied to was shaming anyone for "faking it." Just saying that if you don't need a wheelchair, it's probably a bad idea to use one.

  • Damn, that's a good metaphor. Gonna steal that for myself.

  • Found a video guide to spotting posts written by LLMs. Thought it might be useful.

    Jump

  • As a writer myself, I find this rather depressing. I use parallel sentence structure, group things in threes, use unusual-but-accurate words, and come up with my own metaphors because those are good ways to make your point. I'm also inclined to restate and overclarify things to minimize the chance of being misunderstood. I hate the idea of my writing being mistaken for AI slop. At least I type my em-dashes as --, which LLMs don't do.

  • This place is called Pike Place Market, Seattle. Last year, some people claimed no one will shop here anymore if it's pedestrianized.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I live in Seattle and have been to Pike Place many a time. Having cars down there was fucking deranged. Neither the pedestrians nor the drivers could possibly have been happy about the situation.

    Not having enough time for TTRPGs is, like, 30% of my problems.

  • Tiny baby Sansa immediately started kneading when I picked her up from the rescue. She didn't know me yet, but she already responded to my voice. Sound off if you don't want to hear me talking to her.

    Jump

  • She already has. :) I've had her for almost four years now. She's a wonderful cat. I mean, she's a terrible little gremlin like all cats, but she's also great.

    (She came up and squeaked at me for pets while I was typing this. I think that means she says hi.)
