I also didn't downvote, but maybe you would want to convey the information to your players that creatures here can use that spell without outright killing a PC in the first battle? Like "you guys should really watch your health points in this area" type of thing

The goal of 3rd party apps is to do what's best for the user so they continue to use their app

The goal of Reddit's official app is to do what's best for Reddit

It's possible to expand on the functionality but that's the fundamental misalignment on priorities regarding users

I feel like censoring the O with a circle has to be satirical

Well, organometallic molecules are famously way more dangerous to us (e.g. mercury vs dimethylmercury), so it's not really controversial to say that pumping tons of tetraethyl lead directly into the air people breathe may have been worse than whatever can leach out of lead pipes or dishware.

Now that leaded gasoline is mostly phased out (except for avgas), I imagine the prevalence of lead poisoning will settle closer to what it may have been a millennia ago

Awesome, thank you for taking the time to explore it more, that makes sense to me

I'm curious, couldn't we define z as only 1/0? Then 2/0 would have to be factored to 2*(1/0) first and it would solve this specific example of things breaking. I haven't done advanced math in a while but your comment picked my curiosity haha

I remember 1/0 is pretty important in limits and stuff, it just seemed to me that this specific example seems not too hard to resolve

Superuser do? How about soviet worker do?!

I do agree with you on that. I think it's worth considering but it's not inherently decisive

That's typically the argument regarding being apprehensive about the government knowing your medical & family history; there's historical precedent of governments making very not good laws based on those.

Before WW2, the nazis basically outlawed being Jewish or Roma. A more recent example would be outlawing being gay or trans in some countries

What about when a government decides that you must wear a special armband for being Jewish or Roma or gay?

I think the song is cool, the theatrics are fun, although in case it's not obvious to everyone, the person isn't actually playing the song, and even the guitar hero-type scroll doesn't look like it matches the song. Doesn't make it less fun though haha
