I am utterly baffled as to why any Canadian in their right mind would want to be annexed by the U.S.

Sure, charge them with treason, but give them psych evals. Maybe offer mental health treatment in lieu of whatever Canada does to treason, it’s clearly a cry for help to overcome Fascist Oligarch Cuck Syndrome.

Not that his word is worth a discontinued penny that was accidentally digested and shat out by a coffee bean civet

It has everything to do with identifying and profiling visitors, but I believe ad revenue is just the cover justification. Social media user profiling has crossed the technological threshold into being of interest to authoritarian states, who are very keen to know who the likely troublemakers are and to neuter social networks as potential channels for resistance organization.

That Maduro must have an awful lot of Epstein files

Authoritarianism and leftism are incompatible ideologies. The PRC and USSR both failed at their worker revolutions and swiftly ended up with corrupt oligarchy still controlling the means of production and hoarding the fruits of production. That’s not left-wing, that’s the far-right con game.

I remember a panic some years back about YT funnels of cartoon content aimed at kids, that would lead to weird and sometimes disturbing stuff like “elsa ariel and moana drown together” … I guess the algo has evolved to target nonchildren now

Garbage site, even if the Alphabet CEO wasn’t an oligarch fash toady. Happily running health scam woo ads and refuses to act on reporting of scam advertising.

“mistakenly” wink wink

Not an honest mistake, not under this regime

Falling out of windows is all the rage this decade

How’s that work, everyone gets some capital? If not then I’m pretty sure he’s just pitching more corporate welfare without calling it that.

I wish I could believe this but the reality is fascism drives away competence so we have an executive regime that can’t figure out how to have a top secret meeting on discord without accidentally inviting random journalists

I had to use Reddit a few days back because apparently that’s the only place DuckDuckGo looks for search page bug reports

It felt bad

I used to spend a lot of time there but yeah fuck spez and the oligarchy dicksuckery he’s blatantly committed to

To address your original question more squarely - I might use such a resource if it was free. First because the rarity tiers are poorly thought out and second because even if characters are networking through factor/dealers instead of browsing a shopkeeper’s dispaly case - you still have to assign a price.

The 1st Edition DM’s Guide gave every wondrous item its own specific gold piece value. The relative valuations weren’t perfect but I was shocked when I came back to D&D in 5E to find per-item valuation was abandoned. If I was going to tackle the problem myself, I’d refer to the 1E DMG valuations as a starting point for consumables like potions and scrolls, then consult a few of the most popular “magic item tier guide” articles to supplement 5E’s overly broad and internally flawed valuation by arbitrary rarity tags.

Classic example, the merely “Uncommon” Weapon of Warning is arguably a keeper all the way to endgame. Many DMs even nerf away its party-wide benefits entirely, because making the whole group reliably immune to surprise is game-breaking. You could gain the same personal benefit, and free up the attunement slot, by spending a precious Feat slot to take the Alert feat - but even that doesn’t compare with also making all allies within 30’ immune to surprise.

If you survey the 1E magic item valuations, it helps to be aware that a) attunement slots weren;t a thing - you could equip a lot more magic! Also, b) wands in general and many other “spend a charge” items did not regain X number of charges every day. A Wand of Fireballs with 50 charges was worth about 50 Scrolls of Fireball - and when you spent the last charge, it was just a nonmagical stick again.

I didn’t question the trope of magic item shops back in the 1E/2E days. I wouldn’t run it that way now. For anything more wondrous than healing potions and +1 weapons/armor, the characters have to network through patrons, quest givers, guildmasters, mentors.

This isn’t a big problem in less experienced/more casual groups, but some players (myself included) do like to pore over articles like “most powerful wondrous items for bards”. I don’t think it’s good for the game to feed an expectation that characters can acquire any item they can name if they just save up enough coin and search enough magic shops.

The story where YHWH declares He handed over His people to captivity to chasten them for falling away from His commandments to comfort the poor, the foreigner, the widow and the fatherless (Jeremiah 32:25-29, Hosea 10:10)?

Following, so I remember to circle back to see what your final selection was!

Must have been carrying a lot of Epstein files!

Welcome to Lemmy! Reddit won’t get better, so now’s a great time to emotionally divest from it.

Sounds like Netanyahu is outsourcing the genocide to Trump
