Is this Balmoral Castle in Scotland? Where the Queen died? That’s the best guess I have.

Reduce as in reduce the number of billionaires? I could get behind that.

and the cops did their job.

Ah so they kept all of the LGBT migrants and anti-Zionists away.

What’s a bit funny is that the name of the Angles (the people) and angle (the shape) are directly related. Both come from an old word meaning “hook”, the Angles being a fishing people originally and an angle being the shape of a hook.

Secondary fun fact: the surname Sax and the demonym Saxon are both derived from the type of blade called a seax.

Fair enough! There are definitely a lot of more impactful things I’d like to see them add as well, but wool stairs seemed like one of those no-brainer, low effort additions that I know a lot of folks have been requesting for a while.

Seconded though that it would have been nice to also just place carpet on existing stairs. Still think there is a good case for that when you want the sides of stairs to be exposed and match the material qualities of other blocks around them.

Just out of curiosity, why no on the wool stairs? A tent is probably not the way I’d use them, but it will be nice to finally have a way to make carpeted stairs. Feels like one of those things that they’ve had no reason not to add ages ago.

With wool stairs/slabs coming, would be nice if they could also finally include terracotta, concrete, and glass stairs/slabs.

Just to echo what others have said, it is way better than it has any right to be.

The movie somehow manages to effectively capture the feeling of playing a casual campaign with friends. The story is played completely straight in-universe (as in, there is no outer-level frame narrative of nerds with character sheets gathered around a table), but you can just sense where the tabletop RPG tropes were woven into the plot.

Edit: also to clarify, the specific movie others are describing is D&D: Honor Among Thieves. Not any of the bad D&D movies made in the early 00’s.

I was already really good at not believing in literally every other religion around the world, so I asked myself what made the religion that I was raised in any different?

How did I know I was lucky enough to be born into the right faith? If I had been born elsewhere, wouldn’t I just feel the same way about whatever religion is worshipped there? And so is that the infidel’s fault that they were just born in the wrong place, with no one to tell them that they had it wrong? Or perhaps would they think the same about me?

And so if our religion truly was the right one, why didn’t our supposedly omnipotent deity just make everyone else born into societies that worship it, or render infertile anyone who didn’t? Or if someone else’s religion was the right one, with a similarly omnipotent deity (or deities), why was I born here?

Why would a good and loving God condemn them forever for being exactly what (S)he designed them to be?

This is it exactly. Why even have a “chosen people” in the Israelites during the Old Testament? Why create those other people at all? Just to give random people for the Israelites to genocide like they did the Midianites/Canaanites/Hittites/10 other -ites?

And what of the world before Noah? God realizes he messed up and needs to cull all but a small handful of humans? I thought God was supposed to be unerring. Same for Sodom and Gomorrah, why allow cities to become dens of sin? Or why fear the hubris of humanity constructing the Tower of Babel (or create them with motivation to do so in the first place) if divinity remains safely unreachable to mortals?

Just way too much that doesn’t make sense.

There are a few bits of text on the background shirts that are unreadable. Also the cans and Funko pop box on the table. A few of the background posters on the wall also make no visual sense either.

It is AI, but it’s pretty damn convincing. If someone were to come around and say “actually, this is a performance art piece making a statement about the inauthenticity of online community, where they handmade fake AI melty graphics in the real world for a photo,” I could also be convinced of that.

Could just change it to “Lois campaigns as a Tory” for that international appeal.

I think this reply may be attached to the wrong comment in the chain for context, but I think the meaning is a bit different (just slightly).

Clavicular was mid jestergooning

Clavicular was in the middle of making a fool of himself for attention

when a group of Foids came

when a group of women came in (“foids”, female humanoids, dehumanizing)

and spiked his Cortisol levels

and riled him up.

Is Ignoring the Foids while munting

Is ignoring the women while getting blitzed/shitfaced (may not be an accurate interpretation of "munting, but it appears to either be a shock value thing involving necrophilia or just getting high on drugs, so I interpreted it as the latter based on context)

and mogging moids

and styling on the other guys (“moids”, male humanoids, dehumanizing)

more useful then SMV chadfishing in the club?

more useful than increasing his sexual market value by being fake as hell in the club?

Thank you for sharing the video. I ended up watching the whole thing and found myself of a similar mind as the presenters: he makes a lot of points that sound downright reasonable. I expected some vapid jock-type like you typically see on reality TV, but he’s able to articulate a lot of problems about our current society in ways that I can’t really refute. It’s just his solutions to those issues that are wrong.

And I think that’s what makes his position as an influencer so dangerous. He’s speaking to the genuine lack of class mobility that Millennials through Gen Alpha have had to accept as reality, and “proving” his point through his own life. Sure he might die by the age of 40 with how unhealthy his lifestyle is. But I think a lot of people in the younger generations would likewise rather party it up to unhealthy degrees while young than work a menial dead-end job for 50 years, hoping you get a couple years of retirement in your old age before you die.

Basically. There’s a mostly linear plot with some diverging narrative choices that affect outcomes. There’s some sort of mystery element, you gather up information/clues/resources, and most of the games have some sort of superpower gimmick that you use to explore the world and story (e.g. rewinding time, telekinesis, aura reading).

The games are like an old point and click adventure, but without the pointing and clicking. Or the adventure. If that makes sense.

Just like how Biden failed to prevent the spread of COVID in 2020.

Yeah, it works as a general rule of thumb but there are nuances. Running 2km or 1 mile burns roughly 100 calories.

If you were burning 100 calories running per day, and consuming just as many calories each day as you were burning, the lack of running puts you at a 100 calorie daily surplus without a change in diet. That translates to an annual surplus of 36,500 calories, which will likely gain you about 10 pounds of body fat in that year.

Simple solution in that situation is to eat 100 fewer calories per day, if you can (or however much else you estimate you were burning). 100 calories is half a candy bar, half a bottle of soda, skipping sugar in your coffee/tea, etc. If the injury was specifically a leg injury, can also supplement with cardio exercises that only work the upper body and don’t require your legs, if desired.

And also worth mentioning that 1 great photo comes after 50 or so not-so-good ones. A lot comes down to luck, especially with more dynamic shots. Take a shit ton of photos and a few of them are bound to turn out nice.
