This is my long standing hot take and point of contention with rules as written in conventional D&D fantasy rule sets: death, if the rules of the game were actually applied to the setting, is less about finality (except for the lifespan limitation contrivance) and more about health insurance or lack thereof. People who die that have enough money should by all means have family that pay for raises (or resurrections when the body isn't available) as a matter of course and the material consequences of that would be that premature death from violence, illness, or accident would be mostly a poor people thing. Funerals would be awkward in setting: "sorry you can't afford a rez. The divines bless the departed I guess, lol."

He doesn't just want money; he wants all of the money.

I think it’s past time that I finally give it a play through

You might be left holding a very expensive bag, over half a billion dollars and over ten years in the running so far.

It's too bad; monitoring and dunking on capital-R "Rationalist" billionaire worshipers is a good time.

It's a weird thing among bazingas to call their ruling class masters by their first names to pretend there's some chumminess and closeness, but contextually I don't think they were doing that.

CW: Vomit, gross imagery.

spoilerOne of my worst experiences at the Golden Corral was some douchey fratboys (that of course harassed my coworker and called her fat when she declined to give them further attention because of fucking course they did) that were so drunk that one of them vomited all over the table they sat at, making the rest of them laugh obnoxiously loud which turned further heads toward what had just happened, and then one of them got up, enraged that me and my coworkers were too busy to dive at the frat boys' feet and immediately clean up the vomit. Like, seconds later, after the laughter barely stopped.

Contextually, Golden Corral is a very gross place and when it's especially crowded and there's gross things to at least superficially clean up in 3-4 parts of the facility at any given time, it will take at least a few minutes to get anything done, especially while the frat boys are still hooting and grunting while still sitting around the vomit.

Once again, you need so very badly for your very cool and cromulent word choice to be vindicated, resenting being told otherwise as if you've been told to eat your veggies and go to bed at a reasonable time because you have school tomorrow.

Man, you're annoying.

You can stop replying any time you like.

 

The consequences of the Turing Test being perceived as some grand epoch-changing threshold among bazinga brains are exhausting, and continue to spread.

Deliberating until a drowning person drowns :geordi-no:

Deliberating until a drowning person drowns and giving 20 bucks to some charity as a performative gesture :geordi-no:

Ignoring the drowning person and being effectively altruistic and peddling cryptocurrency and worshipping billionaires in the hopes that their superior genes eventually produce trillions of post-Singularity(tm)(r) demigods :geordi-yes:

 

I tried it recently. It worked. Problem, contrarian in the back row? :troll:

 

That's all. I said my part. It's amazing how saying "I am smart" in more words and "that's easy" can provide enough smoke and mirrors to keep billionaires paying them for doing and solving nothing.
