Restorative justice doesn't mean "nothing bad ever happens to you." It means, "in determining what happens from here on out, we center the needs of your victim to repair what happened to them over your own needs."

atp you shouldnt be reacting to the first-order content of any publication by any major media outlet. you should be considering second-order effects: why did they publish this. what is this meant to cause or make me feel and who is it benefitting. take nothing in the news at face value

My FAQ, which includes questions like “am I transphobic?”, “am I in the Epstein files?”, and “do I have mold in my house?”, is prompting a lot of questions already answered by the FAQ.

D&D is the breezy improv game about running a coffee shop with a witch in the alps and her cat, and that's why we need a game that centers on tracking HP, spells per day, X/day abilities, special points of various sorts, and of any of those run critically low everybody has to stop and take a nap

I'm a bit sick of people on this site suggesting that the anti-AI position is a kneejerk purity test. It's possible that it is, indeed, very principled, and that the socialist, pro-worker position is one of abolition, not control.

The Brandy Jensen thing of spending all your time defending people who annoy you from people who are dangerous. There is no level of "this person was mean to me" that comes even close to "this person wants to destroy an entire category of people".

So often what are called “culture wars” are one set of people saying “please can we live without perpetual persecution” and another saying “no, f*** you” but the press considering the latter group have “legitimate concerns” and must be perpetually platformed

TTRPG where damage is represented by physically setting the target's character sheet on fire. Damage types dictate where the fire starts (e.g., top-right corner) and the amount is how many seconds the player must wait before stamping it out. Burnt traits are disabled until they fill out a new sheet.

One of the most important moments in my life as an artist was at a summer drama camp in 2014. My teacher said “the audience is everything.” A student asked “so we should be thinking about them?” And without skipping a beat, like it was the most obvious fact in the world, he said “FUCK the audience.”

I have run more combats in more systems than I can count, and my one universal piece of advice to make them fun is: JUST KEEP ROLEPLAYING! - Have the enemies talk shit, taunt, joke, monologue, confess! - Ask how PCs feel! Why? - Make actions emotion driven! Hatred! Fear! Jealousy! Envy! Love!

I really hope things go well with rpg-trader.com General issues w/ monopolies aside, It's solves the majority of my UX gripes with other platforms. I'm tired of digging for the most important pre-purchase info on when I'm supposed to even expect to get something to the table.
The left half of the listing for a game called "Beef" on RPG Trader. You see it's cover image, tags, and the "Description, Details, Reviews, Discussions" bar is set to details where the creators name, the product's category (it's a full game), it's genre, intended audience & content, tone, playstyle, language, and publish date are all easily red down the list.

I know this game is meant to be of a "modern" genre intended for "adult, casual, family-friendly, and low prep" audience with a "humorous, lighthearted, slapstick" tone and a "Duo, GM-less, PvP/Competitive, Rules-light" playstyle from super quick and easy navigation.the full page for World Wide Wrestling: Second Edition. On the right side I see it's title, subtitle and creator listed. imminently below that it's listed as a rules system, game, and powered by the apocalypse. I can add it to my wish list, see that it's on sale. For this game there are purchase options for standard (digital download at normal price), community copies (for this game it's free/pay what you want), playsheets & optional materiel (for this game they're free), that it's in a bundle I can navigate to as well, and below that there's an "also available" block where the creator was able to link buying a physical copy from their website. 
Again on the left side set to detail I can see that this is a casual and low prep game. tone is meant to be character-driven, chaotic, cinematic, drama, fast-paced, lighthearted, and maximalist. the playstyle is listed as drop-in/drop-out, episodic, large group, one-shot, open-ended, player-driven, PvP/competitive. and again it's Powered by the Apocalypse and has the bonus tags of "Pro Wrestling, Professional Wrestling." I know everything I could possible expect to know to help me decide if it's a good fit for me and my table.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

oh shit. I guess I'm part of trans day of visiblity now. hap gender (or lack thereof)
signal group chat reads: according to discord archives, it was September 9th (2025) that I decided gender was not for me, and a deal was struck with the entity know as [name is redacted with a static overlay] that it would obtain my gender for $2. In 2 days, on March 21st (2026), I shall recive my $2.blatantly cropped for privacy pic of dramatic a handshake with a forest background. the hand from the left wears a dramatic black sleeve and has a purple drape of skulls as well. the hand on the right is wearing a stupid grey hoodie and has the other hand popping up from behind holding 2 dollars. the posing is, dare I say, comedic.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Hunter S. Thompson wrote this about a week after 9/11 and god he nailed it
a passage from an article by Hunter S. Thompson 

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that 8 or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history-which is no doubt true—but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are
doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th Century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Bugs: Sorry it took us so long to save you from TIME PRISON, Shadow

So what did you do in
TIME PRISON

Shadow: Well

After 50 years I started to feel like | was losing my sanity so started to break my fingers and I would just break my fingers and set them again

I started breaking all my bones. broke every bone in my hands.I broke my arms, separately, and then I started to break my own ribs.
I broke my femurs, it took a while.
And then I healed and broke them again.
After 5000 years my bones were all scar tissue. They had all grown so solidly back together that I was unable to move. And after another 5000 years of furious infintesin movement, I built up enough muscle mass to spontaneously break any bone in my body, and then I could move again.
My body had done so much healing that I healed almost instantly.
That is all I do now. Every time I move my body, my bones shatter and heal back into my next shape. If I take a single step every bone in my legs splinters and then reforms. I don't know what pain is because I have been alive for 10 million years.Sonic:
Ok shadow but it looks like you're just walking normal

Shadow: I know

Sonic:Ok well that's stupid
