Don't have to worry about that. Stoning to death is a punishment for humans. But those slavers weren't using them as humans, but livestock.

Some meme ads back in the day that were so good/bad they actually got fansubbed and included in the fansubs of yore.

I hope the agreement is "Same wages as the Japanese get. Same benefits if any. Same lack of long-term promises. Take it or be replaced by AI and get nothing."

Because after everything the English Hollywood crowd has done to any ideological dissidents (I.E. see Vic Mignona's career nosedive because he ate someone's gummy bear and therefore clearly that was rape (no euphemisms, literal situation) and was un-personed instantly from all long-term contracts totally not because he's religious right), to even be offered the chance to not be replaced by AI is arguably more than they deserve, but I am generous this New Year.

Isn't ChatGPT just Indians in a wageslave center anyways? Or was that some other AI's controversy?

Yeah, those guys are all over at something Wolf Studios. Frost Wolf? Lone Wolf? Can't remember, but something-Wolf now, not CDPR.

Usually.

Though in Eberron setting, there were "pure-blood" half-elves and half-orcs, because Eberron itself as a plane of existence is only a thousand years old, and it stole lifeforms from around the multiverse to populate it, there's proud halfs who claim their blood has never been tainted on that plane by inbreeding, and they actually get rewarded for it (mongrel halves can't get Dragonmarks, biologically impossible to get the superpower birthmarks, but pureblood ones can).

A lot of people say Pathfinder (1, not 2's woke trash) is D&D 3.75, but it is still very number-crunchy, just a lot more options.

It has a bad reputation because of its playerbase, but Vampire:The Masquerade is a lot more freeform than D&D, but maintains still having rulesets and rolls.

And of course, there's always Dungeons: The Dragoning 40k 7th seas edition.

They're right culturally that we should take care of our feeble and disadvantaged. I view that as our own country's war veterans with PTSD, and our own elderly. They view it as sending billions of dollars to teach people in the Congo about trans children pagents yaas slay. So not a real connection there, but the most core idea, that we have an obligation as a people, to look after "something" that we view as inferior to ourselves (not through any fault of their own), is a shared one.

18M or 10% OF REVENUE, "whichever is higher", is a preposterous amount of money too. it's a "go bankrupt, instantly" amount of money, for basically ANY company.

The UK is saying "submit to our petty spy plan wills with the blessings of Palantir Corp, or shut down in ignominy!". They sound like crackpot tinpots.

My vote it for walling off the UK, and trying to get buy-in from Amazon and Google and Musk to all join in the wall-off, with a nice splash page explanation of "your politicians voted for this, in your name. If you don't like it, vote smarter, not Starmer, next time."

Uses the term "USians".

Opinion discarded. What a convenient shibboleth. It's a fine term to use when joking about or for bantz, but when trying to get someone to read your... manifesto? Maybe? It just isn't it, doc.

Not like they're trying to save characters on that twit-longer.

Cutting barely more, or even slightly less, from the budget than the cost to hire internal consultants is a huge win. Consultants are a one-time expense, the bloat is permanent.If it pays itself off in 5 years, those consultants were a good one-time investment.

I think the transformation can be viewed as an allegory for drug use. Some very kind people can go quite hostile and berserk on drugs, others would remain somewhat similar to their base selves. Most mogwai are baseline hostile, if harmlessly so, and the transformation merely gives them junkie strength and looks, which cause their harmless baseline hostility to become harmful. Gizmo would take on the looks of the junkie, but it would be a 50/50 if it went evil or stayed mostly the same beyond looks.
