More expected than impressive. They didn’t invent warped moral frameworks but they do buy from the market leader. The accusations aren’t to convince people to leave the other team, it’s to allow people to justify taking those actions themselves. Stochastic vote manipulation of you will.

Which just goes to show his lack of presidential authority. - magas (I expect.)

The “This one neat trick big water won’t tell you about” to “the government can’t tell me not to dig my well next to my latrine” pipeline (aquaduct?) is real.

Can push California to 5 syllables if you really want to.

I’m also depressed though.

The thing about serial killing is that it requires you to leave the house and meet new people, and frankly, that sounds like a lot of hassle I don’t need.

Hey, it’s got a handrail, it’s fine.

Do you think quoting Hosea 8:7 is a little too on the nose?

A literate person has better opportunity to learn ethics and good thinking habits, but they also have better opportunity to confirm their own biases and be manipulated by grifters. It is kind of a wash when it comes to being a good person or not if the rest of the education system doesn’t actually educate.

Which is also weird if you think about it because they have the republic system too.

Larry isn’t a young cat. Steps need to be taken to ensure continuity of government.

Labour conditions shouldn’t need regulation, we should just recognise another being’s suffering.

Though if we are going to have governments, they might as well do something useful.

Back in my day we were told that was how you got a virus.

This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.

Generally I find they are. Herbs are leaves, flowers and (herbaceous) stems, spices are other parts. A plant might provide both a herb and a spice, but they will typically be different parts of a plant.

Tea would be a herb.

Time is a flat circle, you know the destination but do you know how to get off?

2050s for 1st edition, I think current edition is 2070s. Dragons started waking up in the early 2010s though. There has also been significant geopolitical upheaval, especially in the Americas and Europe. The general assumption is that a nuyen being about 1 modern dollar is about the right ballpark.

Shadowrun probably throws these assumptions off a bit. Dunkelzahn’s net worth is hard to pin down but I think the listed cash dispursements in his will exceeded 1 billion nuyen, plus all the real estate and the establishment of several foundations, several items of extreme power and a number of ‘wishes’.

Lofwyr owns a AAA megacorp that he assembled out of purchases made within about 30 years of waking up. My personal he’d cannon is that he ate Musk at some point in this process.

Even the less well known ones have serious stock portfolios and including multiple point shares in megacorps. Dragons took to business rather well as soon as they worked out what share certificates were.
