  • IT'S A TRAP

    Jump

  • I don't think we want a world where there are any sort of infinity of people, and I don't think a tram is the solution to revert a world from having its infinities to having a finite number

    I also see practicality problems in tying even a small infinity of people to railway tracks, as that requires yet another infinity of people to hold people down, and another infinity of people people to do the tying (as well as the infinities of people to do the tying and holding on the other track) and all of those people will have to be fed and watered with infinite amounts of food and water (some infinities of people for infinite time), the infinities of people tying people down would need some education, implying infinite teachers

    It's a logistic nightmare

  • The zeroth person is dead. I don't know how the trolly finds the next one because there's always a smaller one than whatever it chooses

  • The illustration can't be accurate - you can't picture an infinite number of people between each pair of people, but the description is clear. The trolly can't progress because it can't get from the first person to the second due to the infinite people between them, and the infinite people between each of those between them, etc.

    Like in the second infinity you can't count to one, you can't count from 0 to 1*10^(-1000)

  • Unfortunately it's hard to join the tag end of one infinity to the tag end of another infinity to allow traversing both completely

    I don't really think it's even sensible to talk about the tag end of an infinity. The bitten/bitter end is at 1, the tag end at infinity in this mental model. I feel that is the correct way to use rope terms for imagined embodied infinities as the small end is clearly bitten to (tied to) zero while the other end is free

  • They mean steal it. Take it so they don't have it any more. You know steal it

  • They're complaining about how it is fashionable to say up with STEM down with Arts, to present them as opposed

  • Sounds like a bitch problem

    Jump

  • A lot of systems include character backgrounds. I'd definitely use your background to work out whether you might know stuff. In d&d I'd definitely look at how many ranks you have/whether you have proficiency in relevant skills

  • Just LOOK at the GODDAMNED ROAD!

  • Every Facebook profile posted to /r/HermanCainAwards (the subreddit for mocking deluded people who died of COVID while spreading misinformation) was the same. Whatever the formula was it worked great at sucking in a specific sort of person

    Jump

  • (I get that you're playing into the conspiracy) the reason we haven't is speed isn't good enough anymore, you cannot build a plane that can outrun a missile

    So the focus changed to stealth

  • I think it has to be everyone deciding after a session or two whether they want to play with that group. No one thinks the way they play is different. No one is going to warn players that the role playing game is expected to have some role playing in it.

  • People don't know about those lore skills? Do people not look at their character sheets?

    Jump

  • I'll tag along

    I quite like this when characters are in relatively safe spaces, cities and the like, especially in sci fi settings with little or no magic, so they leave their laser proof armour and serious guns behind and have only a pistol and effectively 1 hit point against serious weapons.

    Makes the trap triggering exciting. Hope your mind state backup is recent in case of a couple of bad rolls

  • Trolls only come out at night. As a city dweller who doesn't go out at night you may only know children's stories about how if you go out at night you may be eaten by a troll. If your monster lore roll is good enough, maybe you heard the story where the guard killed the troll with burning pitch when the child escaped back though the gate and the troll got too close to the city wall

  • sucking venom

    That will kill you if you're bitten by an Australian snake. For Australian snakes you need a compressive bandage long enough to bandage the entire limb that got bitten, and you need to bandage it tight, starting close to the trunk and working towards the foot (or hand if you were stupid enough to put your hand near a snake), then all the way back up. Two layers of bandage. Then the casualty needs to relax as well as they can while their companion goes to the nearest phone signal and calls for emergency transport.

    If you want to avoid all that hassle, make sure you see the snake so you can stop 3 or so metres away and it will move away - it doesn't want to mess with you, you're big and scary. It'll only bite you if you corner it or step on it, or get too close for it to feel like it can safely escape

    But that advice might get you killed in India, their snakes might attack you if you stop near them, perhaps you should run away. I'm not sure though, I don't live near those snakes

    And while I do know is about land snakes in the southern Australian states. I don't know much about sea snakes up north, nor the tropical snakes, aside from the bandaging which is snakebite first aid all over Australia
