Does that mean fudging rolls is basically the RPG equivalent of "mining off camera"?

Infected road rash all up your right arm is so much worse too, and I imagine there's probably worse things than that once you get into spinal pain

You're wondering if a place that grew on monopoly and extortion, with some of the most impoverished, deprived and violent neigborhoods in the country, along with some of the most exclusive and expensive collections of gated mansions, could have serious fundamental issues?
I'd think it's safe to assume that's it's this one...

A quick google search when I was initially fact-checking took me to this reddit post; I'm highly skeptical of both the LAPD and reddit so went for 15 minutes to be "safe" but make of it what you will...

It's around $2.35 in the UK at the moment and that's the lowest I can remember it being for about 15 years

Sounds like an average Germanic person really

There's "everything goes exactly as planned until one player derails the whole session unhindered by rolls or turns" rules-light and "let things flow more naturally and allow things outside the rules if everyone thinks they add to the story" rules-light though...

Personally I much prefer the presence of rules which can be followed if convenient or desired, or ignored if you'd rather, but it is also equally valid to want to do collaborative storytelling/investigation without being derailed by bad rolls, I just know that dealing with setbacks and things not going to plan (which is different to things not succeeding in a pre-planned manner, but again equally valid, along with everything going well if you'd rather) is probably my favourite part

everyone and their dog has texts come up on their wrist... texts can also be read a lot more discretely than picking up a phone call

That said, some things do warrant a phone call, it's just very specific situations

Because he's not been in public-facing power (ie in the cabinet), and being in power is awful for approval ratings as a lot of the time there's no good decisions and things you've had no influence over still turn the people against you.

You remember while walking out of the front door, but tell yourself it's too much effort to go back and get them, only to regret forgetting them and not going back for them while it was easy right?

The difference between reasoning models and normal models is reasoning models are two steps, to oversimplify it a little they prompt "how would you go about responding to this" then prompt "write the response"

It's still predicting the most likely thing to come next, but the difference is that it gives the chance for the model to write the most likely instructions to follow for the task, then the most likely result of following the instructions - both of which are much more conformant to patterns than a single jump from prompt to response.

Anything territorial with a social structure (wolves, horses & boars being great examples of successful domestications, otters and falcons for in-progress domestications and foxes and raccoons good candidates) are prime domestication material as the human can become the social leader and they won't be as inclined to leave what is their pack's territory

That said, it takes thousands of years to fully domesticate something, which is why "semi-domesticated" otters and falcons just sort of help out with hunting without being "friendly" enough to be predictable

 

It's open for the next month, it'll be cool to see what people come up with

Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
