I am legit blown away that this greentext didn’t end with Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur. I was absolutely sure that would be how it ended after reading the penultimate paragraph

I could see this kind of idea being wildly popular for ttrpg dungeon masters. If you know anybody who owns multiple 20 sided die there’s a good chance they’ve done some amout of fantasy world building before

Isn’t oligarchy a loan word from the French language? Or like, if not a loan word I’m sure it at least has French etymology

It’s depressing how many top level comments or replies are about how people like that there is a technical barrier gatekeeping lemmy. Are yall actually leftists or do you just pretend to be while worshipping your own version of social hierarchy in which us nerds are on top?

Yikes. This makes me think of people who have hurt me

Oh no. No no no no no. I stopped having nightmares about this little fucker years ago. You can’t make me go back!!

The famed Wanksy approach?

So you’re saying Hannibal didn’t finish the job because he had no (cross)bars?

I know theatre existed, which is why I specifically qualified it as widely available/distributable. You cant just ignore half of the words I used when rebutting my argument then act like you addressed my point. The “dominance” of film and TV compared to other internet shareable media does not remotely compare to the dominance of print a few centuries ago; nothing else from the era even fits the modern definition of media. Print was the dominant form of media in the 17th century in the same way that your eyeballs are your dominant means of gathering visual information; there is literally no competition to be dominant of.

I think you misunderstood my point about financial ghouls; I’m not saying that I think early printed media was free of their influence, I’m saying that today I can easily access a huge body of media that exists without their focus grouping and “safe bets only” style of publishing monotony. This is significantly less true if I limit my forms of fiction intake to films and tv.

I think i should back up a bit; i don’t really care that you’re wrong about the relative influence of different forms of media in different time periods. I’m upset that your first comment extends an elitist epithet about a person not reading indicating the lack of a rich inner life. Acting like people don’t know fiction if they don’t consume it the same way the majority does is shitty and ableist, and that’s the message presented by your top level comment. So I guess like, if my interpretation of your first post is correct I think you suck and I’m no longer interested in speaking with you, and if not feel free to correct me and collect the apology I’ll owe you for getting vitriolic on the internet over a misunderstanding.

Kind of a shit take. Printed material was the only widely distributable/available vehicle for fiction in the Victorian era, which is absolutely not true of tv/film in the modern era. I generally avoid TV and movies as well; not because I don’t like fiction, but because I don’t like my fiction to be filtered by financial ghouls and focus groups clutching their pearls hard enough to turn their knuckles white.

Genitals and mouths were meant for eachother. Between your tongue and your nose you have two of the best sex toys ever invented just sitting right there on your face. All the time

Idk if you did this on purpose but the right eye of that thinking emoji lines up perfectly with the front facing camera on my phone and it gave him a monocle as I scrolled away

Great use for 1/8 of a CVS receipt. What did you do with the rest of it?

When you grow up in a zero trust society people doing things out of kindness is suspect. During my childhood and early adulthood kindness was a cover for somebody lying to me or trying to scam me nearly 100% of the time, and that stuck with me. It still fucks me up to this day that people being kind to me makes me cagy and want to isolate myself

I’ve never believed in god, but I think I can believe in saints now after Saint Luigi and Saint Javelin

Look I’m fine with people being straight and all, I just don’t want them shoving it in my face

Why did you post a picture of Allisae in your comment about Alphinaud?

YALL NEED TO SPEAK UP! I CANT HEAR… wait, which community am i commenting on again?

I’ll say it. The poster you were responding to is a bigot. ‘Tolerance of bigotry’ is itself bigotry, as it breaks the social contract of tolerance in the same way that bigotry does. By validating bigots, you are showing the minorities they target that you accept the bigotry against them and causing the same kind of harm as the bigot did in the first place.
