The US election is an election of elections.

They break the election into smaller elections, based on where people live. It doesn’t matter if someone gets 99% of the votes in that area, or 50.0000001% of the votes. Winning is winning.

So if someone wins 49% of the smaller elections, but wins them with a high enough amount, they can have more total votes and still lose the whole thing.

Edit: Let’s say there are only 3 areas of 10 people each.

Area 1: Goes to Person A
Person A: 9
Person B: 1

Area 2: Goes to Person B
Person A: 4
Person B: 6

Area 3: Goes to Person B
Person A: 4
Person B: 6

So person B wins 2 of the 3 mini elections, which makes them win the whole thing.
Person B had 13 votes, Person A had 17 votes.
Person A would win if it was “popular vote”

Earlier this year, one in perfect condition sold for 3 million USD.

Very old/rare, and bonkers powerful.

The whole game is about what you do with mana (currency).
If all we are looking at is the mana, this lets you pay for other cards on your first turn that you normally wouldn’t be able to play until the 4th turn of the game. That’s a huge advantage.

Thanks, that was bugging me!

My current group of players has only played Starfinder, Stars without Number, Cities without Number, Vampire the Masquerade (V5), and some one-shot games like Quiet Year.

I don’t want to run or play D&D, so I don’t. If needed, we could always hang out without playing a game.

Gods and Magic is a Pathfinder Setting book that came out for D&D 3.5, so I think it means “Gods and Magic, pages 44-45”.

not sure about LO

Meta owns it, and meta is one of the large, evil tech corps.

They are probably the easiest one for most people from English-speaking countries to cut from their lives.

Why is this post just links to images and discord? Those are two huge red flags that an item is just a scam.

You have a website, why not link to it?

I don’t have any idea why are you posting on reddit.

Kitty history, it’s exactly like ours!!!

Yet, you only streamed because you needed to pay rent, or didn’t you?

It’s pretty fun to having guys go on and on about how big/suckable your dick is and how much they want you to fuck them. If I was single I’d probably do it again, even without being paid.

Also, I did not propose immediately anything that would threaten the activity in the way you practiced it

When you responded to @SlothMama@lemmy.world, you said that you were against all porn.

To be clear, I’m reading your response as against porn in all forms and for all audiences based on your wording, is that what you mean?

Yes.

I was showing one of the many examples of being in the sex industry, without any abuse and without it being “paid rape” as you put it. You didn’t say “some”, “a lot”, or even “most”. You simply generalized all sex work as harmful to the worker/performer.

My problem with pornography is the reality of it as well as the reality of prostitution in general. The porn industry is the home of abuse, in every sense. First in the rawest sense, the physical and mental abuse that actresses go through; second in the reproduction and propagation of the culture of abuse, considering that it is the most recurrent theme in porn films; third in the economic sense, pornography, like prostitution in general, is the sale of consent: the actress or prostitute receives money to have sex with someone she would not have sex with under other circumstances, in short: paid rape.

I paid rent using a webcam years ago, and I am not sure that your points really apply to all porn/sex-work. I am not denying that it doesn’t apply to some of it though.

Men paid me to chat with them, let them watch me jerk off, and sometimes watch them watch me jerk off. I was probably going to jerk off anyway, and knowing what I was so attractive that people would pay me to see me do it was a turn on.

Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

I can’t complete the survey because of the questions.

Some questions are single choice but should allow for multiple, like 29.
Some questions are too broad, like question 17, “why?”.

I know a lot of people like actual plays, but because they are often full of GM/ST interpretation and house rules, I generally avoid them. I also don’t plan on using splat books, which based on the title alone, I assume that the actual play uses at least 1.

Yep, I see it on Lemmy all the time, often from Shit.just.works users.

I mean, Tim Cain, so it would make sense that his videos are good.

He’s behind some of the best computer RPGs of all time, Fallout and VTM Bloodlines.

yes, everyone on earth.

Bing API is down, which has killed some things.

This mostly happens to me when it is very clear that the session is going to be about resolving something about player X’s backstory, and their work schedule changes.

The easiest way, is to use a generator, like https://donjon.bin.sh/scifi/random/.

I might not fully use the suggestion of “A minor executive named Jasper Catlow needs a crew to frame a rival named Porter Gammon for corporate espionage. However, the client hires a team of assassins to eliminate them after the job.”, but it’s easy enough to change some nouns to make an interesting one-shot.

Complaining about MSG is like complaining about black pepper.
