Whether or not people are literally blaming minorities, Democrats have acted as if they are owed the votes of minorities and the working class which meant they felt no incentive to actually try and appeal to them or do more than token gestures.

I'm not surprised they lost the minority vote. They've been asking for it for a while.

I assume the artists and riggers are contractors while the talent are most likely employees.

The issue with that is the talent's PLs are a direct competitor to hololive. Some companies are tolerant of employees having consulting gigs on the side, I don't know of any that would be ok with employees directly pulling customers to their side gig using company resources.

Hololive doesn't credit their in house modellers or management either in this way.

The talent fully understand the quirks of having a job you can't put directly on your resume, but they also get strong networking opportunities if the need to jump ship, it's up to them to make that tradeoff.

They are also acting as mouth pieces for the company, if a company releases a statement, they don't usually cite the PR professional who drafted the notice.

I don't even hide it. I keep iterating back and forth between running TTRPG games and writing short stories. I do think I've started to hit something more satisfying with using a looser system (plug for https://lemmy.world/c/owboybeboprpg devoted to a fairly dead TTRPG that I probably only like because I haven't done enough research into more popular TTRPG systems)

For me, it was this cycle where I would just get kind of exhausted at the writing process, outlining, writing, editing, and then feeling a bit dejected when its never quite as good as you remembered, then when I DMed tabletop games, it felt like I wanted more control to ideate high level visions for the narrative. They both scratch different itches in the creative process, and sometimes its nice to just switch up the itch.

*I voted for future genocide instead of present genocide.

Edit: I do empathize with people not voting for Harris as a protest vote. I personally think it is counter productive, but I can see that if the system won't allow someone to act ethically, then it makes sense to reject the system.

What I don't understand is voting for Trump as a protest vote instead. He has shown he has no inclination to support Palestine from his last administration and his ties to evangelical groups indicates he would be even worse for the situation than Harris. If anyone disagrees, I'd appreciate to hear the justification either in a reply or DM if you don't want randos flaming you.

I think she's trying to have her cake and eat it too. She'll claim killing the toll helped flip suburban representatives, and by reinstating it she can try and also curry favor from city dwellers.

I feel like it shouldn't be too bad to exempt school buses and emergency vehicles.

It's not hard for the feds to illegally imprison someone. We have a political dissident illegally locked up under house arrest for bringing a lawsuit against Chevron in Ecuador.

Honestly, if NYC voted to secede from the state, it would probably be pretty popular. Albany doesn't even pretend to view us as anything more than a piggy bank at this point.

Your mistake is thinking the Democratic Party is trying to get members elected. Their primary goal is to keep the top brass in positions of power and then to keep their donors making money.

That second one is true of every political party, they just have different ways of going about it.

Depends on the publication's editorial guidelines with respect to what words are censored and how. Probably not the author's choice.

If he's really a narcissist they're not crocodile tears, he legitimately feels bad. That he is facing consequences.

I'm pretty sure this is the one

 

Spoilers for anyone who hasn't gotten up to chapter 967 in the mangaWith regards to the iconic Roger Laughing panel when he gets to Laugh Tale, I think the reason Roger laughed when he got to Laugh Tale is because Joy Boy intended his treasure for someone who would live on and lead the world to a new future by overthrowing the World Government.

This would have been extremely ironic, since Roger was terminally ill and had just spent the final days of his life seeking a treasure that was meant for someone else, who would live long enough to be able to change the world.

I think that positions Luffy in a really interesting spot because he has been shedding his life span throughout the manga, like in Impel Down. It doesn't feel like a very Luffy thing to not take the one piece just because he doesn't have very long to live. I wonder if he would take whatever is on laugh tale and through sheer will power force the world to change before dying.

 

Just ran my first game, and had made a few tweaks to run it as a one shot, and it seemed to work pretty well. My main concern was around bullets being too abusable since each player could just auto-ignore 5 shocks.

Rule Tweaks

  1. Drop starting bullets to 2 per players, force them to take wounds instead, then give them back 1 bullet for each successful tab.
  2. Let players reroll 1s when rolling for rhythm, this way they don't get stuck not being able to do as much their first game.
  3. Force players to narratively motivate using a bullet to absorb a shock, if its not related to their memory, don't let them spend it.

General things I would do on a second run

  1. Really ramp up the difficulty, use your Risk at the start of the tab and bump the difficulty by 1-2 at the first tab. This forces more 0 hit checks, so players need to start exhausting their wounds and rhythm earlier.
  2. Players generally won't ask to make clocks, so as a Big Shot you should redirect objectives to smaller clocks.
  3. I used 2 clocks for small things, like using a very unorthodox approach to achieve something.
  4. I house ruled letting players tick another clock after closing out a non-objective clock, if the non-objective clock was to do something that furthered the objective. I may have missed something, but I don't see any mechanical incentive to finish clocks outside of the objective clock so I felt like giving a small bonus to it felt more concrete than just giving them something narrative. Also, most clocks are created in order to advance another clock anyway.
