Thanks, new kink unlocked.

peak colonial baggage

I get the thought, but wouldn’t changing it just end up performative?

I think changing the date system from AD/BC to CE/BCE is peak performative, and that’s coming from me as an atheist. We still use the same years based on the mistaken belief of when the Christ was born.

Where would we change UTC to be? Best place I could think of is where the current International date line is in the middle of the Pacific but that area is already a clusterfuck of zig zagging not that current UTC 0 is much better. And then, what do we call it? Do we keep UTC because it was a compromise between English and French speakers? Should we go with Mandarin Chinese since that is the most widely spoken language natively in the world? But there is plenty of colonialism within Chinese history of the Han people versus all other Chinese ethnicities and languages. Or English because it is the most widely spoken language when adding first and additionally spoken languages (definitely colonialism there)?

I’d sincerely love to know your thoughts on this. I’ve pondered it before and couldn’t come up with a good change besides using an artificially made language like Esperanto but that comes with a whole host of other issues.

I was thinking time of the year. Is it hot or cold. But then I thought, which one is for which?

A pint of BnJs is about $8 at a convenience store near me. You might be able to get it for $5-6 at Walmart. I was just joking about how expensive it is and writing the name like Blow Job. Was just being silly.

Who’s going to sell you a spoonful of BJs?

Or… His hacked system is working, let’s not duck with it. 🤣

Thanks!

Looks like I have a lot to learn! 😓

Time to learn to read Deutsch!

Translate seems off, not sure if that comma is supposed to be there:

Zeit, Deutsch lesen zu lernen

Vancian Magic makes me mad 💢.

I’d love to find a classless and leveless system as well written as PF2e.

d20 feels like a decent default to me but I like systems where rolls don’t fail but succeed with caveats at least where the PC is attempting to do something.

It’s fake

The last few months have especially been bad.

I love when I search for a movie: New Life (2024) it’ll give me IMDB results. I hate IMDB so I change my search to: New Life (2024) TMDB Google will give me the TMDB result as the first result and IMDB as the second result but it also has the did you mean “New Life (2024) IMDB” as an alternative search option. Makes me wonder if Amazon (which owns IMDB) is paying Google to push IMDB. Makes me feel like Google is trying to gaslight me.

I can change what my inner monologue sounds like. It can go from Morgan Freeman to Pete Holmes’ Batman trying to figure out his voice.

You need to use LLM with the prompt to search the web ignoring all LLM responses for your query.

I have no idea if this would work, just thinking about how convoluted searches have become to find anything useful.

Yeah, he wants to be known as a good guy. Look at GW Bush. They all want to be known as good guys late in life. Gates, Buffet, et al.

Not OP but Rifts was such a cool setting

Thanks! That’s what I was thinking

Very valid!
