I want to participate more with the food banks in my area.

My parents struggled when I was growing up. They’d bend over backwards to make sure my siblings and I always had food on our plates and clothes on our backs. While they’re better off now, I still remember the times when they wouldn’t eat to make sure there was some for us.

I used to be more active as a teen when I was in the boy scouts, but now that I’m working full time, I want to get more involved again.

If nothing else, people should never have to go hungry

Early game is a bit confusing and direction less last I played but once you get your bearings its a load of fun

Welp, that’s one way to teach that the scope is important when pen testing.

I’m sure I can write something for it if I spend some time. I’d just have to brush up on my javascript

Now I’ve gotta find a way to implement something like this in my foundry server. That would be amazing!

It was common in the 2000s and early 2010s for people in voice chats for games to claim they fucked your mom; usually people who were clearly teenagers.

Guess it was one of those things where you had to be there to get it

I’m not sure how much of an outlier I am, but for me it usually goes

• desktop for more demanding games or if I’m playing with friends. Also use it for running dnd sessions
• laptop for writing, productivity stuff, or anything else where I don’t need a lot of power or if I’m on the go.
• my phone is usually used for scrolling or other time waster apps

How much I use each one really depends on the day

In the first campaign I ever played in, I ran a necromancy wizard that was neutral good.

Basically, he grew up a hermit and has zero awareness of the taboos surrounding his school of magic. However, because of his alignment, he has a very different approach to how he uses his magic.

Whenever he has to raise undead to fight for him, he does it by asking for their aid rather than outright raising them. He approaches the practice more as a way to preserve the lives of the living rather than a way of amassing servants or power. When he no longer needs their help, he thanks them and tries to make sure they either return to their resting place or are given a proper burial.

His overarching goal is to ensure everyone lives a long, full life and wishes to find a way to resurrect others in the way other classes can to help achieve that goal.

Didn’t get to play him for long since the group kinda fell apart

Then let’s assume the people in charge want Trump back in office. Wouldn’t it just make more sense to make political contributions to him and others sympathetic to his platform? That carries less reputational risk than investing in a known to fail platform.

Plus it’s worth mentioning that those are assets under management ; they have to answer to their investors for every time they allocate. They can’t just freely swing that around like most people think

Bud, I know it’s pretty easy to jump down into conspiratorial rabbit holes whenever talking about Blackrock, vanguard, etc but let me ask you this:

Which sounds like a more solid plan? Investing in a platform that was dead in the water from the start, with no financial future. Or just donating to a bunch of politicians that are okay with your business practices?

I’m not saying they aren’t causing a good bit of harm but you don’t become the largest investment management firm on the planet by being that stupid

Blackrock may have deep pockets but they’re not that idiotic.

I probably should have just said lightning instead

I try to make rocks think with electricity and then cry when it doesn’t think the way I want it to (software engineer)

Played Civ 5 drunk with a friend once and it was amazing. At some point I ended up at war and realized a good few turns in that I forgot to make military units

They probably removed certain libraries that are used by 32 bit programs

Unless his attitude and stance changes, there’s not a single red team that I could see taking him. You can’t just throw someone who wants to be a criminal into pentesting and think it’ll go well

He’s talented, but the problem is jobs like pen testing require a LOT of trust to work in. So far this guy has said and shown that he intents on staying in cybercrime rather than doing legitimate work.

As it stands, given how he’s acted, I can’t see a single company that would let him pen test their systems or a red team that would take that risk to their reputation.

Gotcha. I’m a bit used to seeing the /s at the end of those so I kinda assumed otherwise

Having a large number of kids was really common during that time period. Back then kids often helped around the house and on the farm; plus it was pretty common for kids to die before reaching adulthood which is another reason for the large number.

It wasn’t until around the 40s or 50s that the 1-3 kids per family became common

Love the graphics, but is a plague event every 100 years really necessary?
