In my main ttrpg group, we address this partly by swapping referees every 2-6 months, changing genres, settings, rules regularly.

You're saying one ruleset doesn't fit all, different players like different levels of agency. I'd say we are at least in the position of having (if anything) an embarrassment of rich rulesets with high levels of agency, where before there were fewer adventures and systems of that nature.
Epping is only 33 miles from the sea. He's not even a very ambitious racist :D
Paging @thelouvreof.bsky.social
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a very different take on the setting, a gritty cthulhu -esque detective ttrpg. I can't see the original post but the original 1e and recently reprinted 4e ttrpg are quite different from the Wargame stuff.
Judgements go one way then another way all the time. As you well know. A Tory run council trying to create difficulty for a Labour govt isn't new. The term you're looking for is 'lawfare'.
Peregrine is also super effective, if Tarquin needs a chum.
Soon all citizens will have to salute the portrait of the Dear Leader.
We've got a few choice phrases for this cockwomble in London.
Iron Monkey, 1993 Hong Kong classic.
This has a very "look what you made me do" line of reasoning. That feeling when you take your lede from a domestic abuser's playbook.
How would inheritance tax affect this? It's not clear that you're talking about anything related to his suggestion. And who's 'they'? I don't think any political party is proposing this tax, despite its merits.
You send police in to manage graffiti and fare dodging in Humvees with riot armour and assault weapons. But you send forest fire fighters in with a bandana and an axe. Strange country.
My guess is no, they probably want to burn the hotel down and murder a few immigrants. But they'll maybe settle for mass immediate deportation of brown people without due process. Merely a temporary halt in this particular hotel, leaving current numbers intact? No, they won't be satisfied.
Stop being a jerk, they're stupid framed questions to defend and deflect your irresponsible use of the term 'mob rule'.
Stop asking stupid gotcha questions. I answer this above.
... Better, and better defended by councils and our current political and commentator class? Yes, I'm sure we both do.
That isn't the standard for mob rule. You're moving the goalposts. A council responding (if that's what they're doing, neither of us know for sure) to a public protest is hardly unknown. There are lots of mobs and lots of court cases. Some go their way. Do we both wish UK asylum processes were...
No. They're unanswerable and you're frothing again. Use language responsibly and don't get arsey with me, professor.
These questions are addressed in the article. It is a legal process initiated by the local council. You might not like the vibe of the decision, but labelling it mob rule is the flip side of the right wing frothers rejecting the jury trial outcome of the councillor as 'two tier justice'.
It's not mob rule, it's a temporary court order following a planning challenge.
Arrested. Not even charged, still less convicted of any crime. Absolutely disgraceful.
This was always a reference blu ray for sound. I'll bet the Dolby Atmos mix is stunning.
They're nearly ready for a lifetime of domestic law enforcement in cities run by Trump's political enemies.
He'll apparently also grow up thinking a good policy response to perceived car theft is the President deploying the National Guard and the FBI....
States rights. Let states decide the level of lethality in their soap. Constitutional right to bar soaps.
No, I'm saying it doesn't collate and analyse the stuff it's been asked to do by users en masse, note that it's been switched off, then look for the most likely reason why.
How would it know why? It must get thousands of requests every second and generate thousands of responses. Did HR take it aside and explain Elon made a complaint? AI doesn't even know it's open pricing structures let alone why someone unplugged it.
It's fine if you are directly defending the borders of Wessex.
I have had HDMI ports work very loose over the years, perhaps that's it? Anyway, replacement cable>replacement PC :)
Claude AI is very good at looking for errors it made but it also has enough robustness to tell you when you're wrong. Certainly I wouldn't rely on it for factual analysis though.
The Blueberry error affects Claude AI as well as Chat-gpt 5. (And apparently Google Gemini. Could this be done programmer's joke?!) But unlike gpt5, Claude sees it's error when you point it out. But that is such a weird hallucination!
This happened to Jay recently. Did you try a different cable, different graphics output plug, different monitor?
Packaging and cables from over a decade ago: guilty as charged.
Fast forward to four years time when Mace releases her tell-all book about how Trump was always no smarter than a gibbon.
This is really an absurdity.
I'm quietly raging I voted for Labour and seem to have gotten the BNP appeasement party.
Indeed- given that at least 16% of UK residents are foreign born, that headline data (even if true) suggests those foreign born residents commit crime at a lower rate than UK born residents...
It would be awesome if you could cite the source of this data then ping it to the highly under briefed Labour minister who did nothing to rebut radio 4 today's presenter this morning on this topic. (Webb, I think it was?) Indeed his intro was Reform-worthy.
Agree, there's no joy in the music for them any longer but they crave it all the more. The agony of damnation, the empty promises of the damned luring them into his depths.
Emily in the outskirts of Paris, amirite? :)
It's a great film. If I were to be critical, I'd say: The final scenes could've used a bigger budget/less strict censorship routine to bring the battle to life a bit more clearly. But totally worth watching.
This lifetime appointments stuff: is that in the constitution? Or can a new all powerful president undo it?
This aged poorly.
This isn't really a debate and those aren't the goals of these videos. They're revealing for just how overt and shameless the ignorant fascists have become. I can't imagine twenty people coming forward to declare these views even ten years ago. That's the real revelation in these kinds of event.
What's amazing is how many of these dimbulbs are happy to crawl into public view and say overly stupid and vile things. Trump and the GOP have shifted the window of acceptably vile things so far.
"Layers, darling!"- a local.
I mean, everyone needs food, but people still advertise and pay sponsorships to sell their particular food....
It's so difficult to get a proper Halberd regiment trained up these days though...
That's actually my best pickup line...
Even a digitised medieval manuscript would surely completely baffle AI reading. More so with palimpsest elements.
It's well worth checking out Hunting Ghislaine by John Sweeney. Great journalist, great podcasts. open.spotify.com/show/0witfeb...
Do you also enjoy grated betaroot on a salad?
And getting the hard Brexit they dreamed of.
If only our Labour government weren't rehearsing and reinforcing this mythology... So baffling and disappointing.
I wonder if they could fit bigger spoilers into their headline.
Click the button, it links to the company that deals with it. They have the information you're looking for. I'm just a guy telling you what it says. If you want to know more, look it up.
Heard several people claim "I can concentrate better when I shut out road noise, my eyesight becomes shaper". Totally delusional.
They're just complying with legal obligations.
It scans your face then deletes it. Not such a big deal.
Yup, I seem to have lucked out.
That's why I was puzzled by this article: my local route is a good chunk faster. Lucky me, I guess? Certainly quicker than driving, with all the LTN closures.
Trump's guilt in this and so many other matters isn't in much doubt. Using fake photos (the op, not yours) undermines the case against him. Don't mistake the insistence on actual evidence for lack of zeal against that corrupt entity at the top.
No, no deal. Using fake photos when _plenty of legitimate, utterly damning evidence exists_: undermines the case against Trump. You give his supporters easy ammunition to dismiss your claims as false.
Obvious AI fake you should delete.
Rich people are supposed to be protesting acceptable things like vandalizing ULEZ cameras and litigating against wind farms....
Going to be so many Abu Grabe revelations once Trump's gone. America's reputation will be shot to pieces.
Teenage boys have growing to do ... Any year 9 teacher will tell you it's the most physically hilarious year for transformations....
The guest speaker calmly notes: a) the tenuousness of Trump's law suits; b) the factual basis of the reporting to which he objects; c) the abusive use of state apparatus against parent companies to silence media reporting; Webb ploughs on without acknowledging any of these devastating truths....
This is the new Durham report.
You're so clearly not furious at him for not considering the parts of history YOU consider to be important...
Read your whole thread of replies. It's full of earnest vitriol and hatred.
He just likes period history and vintage clothing. He's 16 years old. He's quirky. Give him a break.
Didn't the UK Brexit/Russia interference investigation simply deliberately not consider this question at all? www.theguardian.com/world/2020/j...
I knew this in 2015 and I'm British. It's been common knowledge about Trump for many years. It's not like trump voters don't know what he's like. They just don't care/think the Dems are the same or worse/think their investments are more important and more likely to thrive under Trump
See 2020 for the template. "Time for mild reforms and a firmly worded return to bipartisanship and decorum. Good faith all round...."
He was very publicly found liable for sexual assault the year before the election. Also systemic tax fraud. Both were widely covered. The US population didn't seem very bothered by it. Obviously sedition and corruption and incompetence were no barriers to office, either.
Just get a sharpening steel for $12 and you're set for life.
Lots of people here need to read up about what utter b-st-rds sea otters really are.
Lots of it has a very 3D bluray vibe. However: It's great at a few things. Removing clutter in photos: amazing. As a helper planning to run ttrpg scenarios: very good. My writer friend uses it as a helper in a few ways: The tireless writing assistant - by Dave Morris share.google/ZAiqlexiBDF9...
..in the background of the painting you can just make out the surprised faces of the indigenous peoples of the 'completely unpopulated' continent whose land you are claiming.
Or if I'm trying to GM seven people on discord with a complex ruleset.
No. Unless highly hungover or tired.
Food racism is the only racism Bluesky really gets thrilled by.
Yeah full details in two weeks from now, amirite?
Amazing for cycling. Hot take, I know.
Ring. The Japanese one.

The dumb way for an author to use #AI is to ask it to write the book for you. But here are some ways I've found it very useful. realdavemorris.substack.com/p/the-tirele...
I just feel quite differently about the book's fiction and the author's lies, I suppose? I haven't read this one but I've enjoyed similar memoirs and film accounts of similar 'road trip/walking trip' voyages of self discovery &c. never expect them to correlate to reality no matter how they present
Propaganda images of rats surely not far away, Goebbels style...
This is the clumsiest ambush with the least equipment ever, by the dumbest ambushers ever. Or it could be a largely inaccurate account.
Ok, so it's largely fiction presented as 'true memoirs'. Does that matter for the actual book itself? Many many books do this. Embezzlement- well, that can be addressed in the real world through legal means. That's really, not a book.
Do you mind when Fargo says "this is a true story" at the start of every episode, but it's all made up?
Do people really expect a travel memoir to be factually true? Does that actually matter for its impact as a piece of writing? A journalist running a news story about a PM is in a really different category of expectations and significance.
There was a NYT article about two months ago rehashing 70s 'British food is bland' stereotypes and then blocking anyone British who dared to reply. Brilliant.
