We already have asian DnD elves. The Gith are fucking Asian. All the old art is a hilariously stereotypical Asian caricatures, with a bit of fantasy magic thrown in.
Like all gith, githzerai were tall and emaciated-looking humanoids, but, thanks to their rigid training, had more muscular bodies.[2] They had pale yellow skin, sometimes with greenish or brownish tones. Their skulls were long and angular, with deep-set eyes, flattened noses, and long pointed ears. Typical hair colors included black, russet, and sometimes gray, which male githzerai either shaved or wore in braids. Their facial hair was also carefully groomed.
It's literally chink elves. Their race is split in half between the evil Gith that follow a dictatorship, and the Good ones that follow fantasy Confucianism. Gith have 3 racial classes which are basically kung-fu monks, kung-fu swordmasters, and old guys that meditate so much they get superpowers (enlightened, originally psionicists, but now wizards).
And even if you don't like Gith because they've been turned into a sci-fi race to hide their racial traits, there's plenty of other ones. Yuan-ti, Kenku, kitsune/shapeshifters, Spirit Folk. There's no shortage of eastern representation. Or there was, before they decided to take all the flavor out of those classes so they could pretend they're not distinctly racial too.
thousands of years beyond their mud huts
Just thousands? If we could magically isolate sub-Saharan Africa and fastforward 10,000 years, I still don't think they'd invent cellphones and airplanes. 5,000 years ago, Ancient Egypt existed right next door with all the ancient era tech, and their nearby African neighbors still didn't figure out the wheel or buildings before colonization.
Isn't Malenia easiest with a heavy build? You just go upgrade some huge weapons with double colossal and can out trade her, because she's balanced around small windows of opportunity.
You do have to dodge her sword dance, but she's a low poise and relatively low range boss, and both of those are best exploited by heavy builds. You just can't block.
"Mostly" discounts the outliers in society. Nobles had it occur to them more often per-capita, but considering nobles were outnumbered a hundred to one, I suspect that more girls were married off young among commoners.
A family has a tough time feeding the kids one winter, and there's a decent enough 20-something bachelor nearby who can take care of her, and the daughter gets married at 14 instead of 18.
The hollywood part is that the women were abused prisoners instead of happily riding his dick. IRL they'd be lording it all over anyone else that they're so pretty they get to live as royalty with the most powerful man around.
Disagree. They won't ban non-self driving cars because they won't need to. Owning your own car will become a luxury item.
AI fleet vehicles will become cheap. People in cities only need a car for <1hr a week, while those in the suburbs maybe <1hr a day, and that time can be shared with carpooling. Cars cost a lot if you count buying, maintenance, fuel, and storage. Using an AI car for the same amount will probably cost 1/10th that since they can be shared by 10-100x as many people. Well, probably 1/2 that much, and the rest goes as profit to the AI car service. AI cars don't need to park, so I think cities will generally push it silently with removal of parking, instead of loudly with fees to drive.
Being driven by AI is better than driving yourself, and most people don't want to worry about parking or maintenance. In general, you'll get a better experience for cheaper, especially as car prices keep going up until they're unaffordable for most people. In 50 years most places including suburbs will primarily be served by fleets of AI cars and only the rich or incredibly rural will own (and the price will start to make it harder to live rural). That's what our owners want anyways, so there's no need to force anything.
Uh, what? I don't want to be the person that squawks about a source, but that sounds really far out there.
Hearing about them eating dogs (and they have a lot of dogs) would be just as crazy to me if Italy were eating dogs. Maybe it was a PSA for the native tribes that still live there or something?
It's not getting better with Milei; things are still getting worse. But the rate of things getting worse has been slowing, so that's better than nothing. Maybe it'll work out in the end, but it hasn't turned things around yet.
There's no chaos in Argentina or soup kitchens as far as I can tell. Just business shutting down and people having to make do with less and less (relatively) each month, but apparently that's been the case for a while.
40k player here. No GW didn't do this to align with Amazon. They aren't competent enough to do that. They can barely keep lore and rules straight between codexes that come out weeks from each other, so they have no hope of aligning with an entirely different company,
You should always have a choice of incandescent. If they really want to influence people that see $0.25 incandescent vs $5 led initial price put a refundable deposit on the incandescent so when it burns out you get that money back.
Fuck that. The government shouldn't be influencing shit. If the product is better for people's needs, it'll win out.
People should be free to do what they want with the energy they buy.
The government can be sued if you're 0.0000001% more likely to die in a heatwave because the weather changed due to china and india fucking up the environment.
The government can't be sued if you're suffering 10x more crime and rape and murder because they directly imported 3rd world pieces of shit to your town.
Ok clown world.
It sounds like another effect of 1971.

Edit: Damn, already got beat to it.
Yep. Basically the same, but slightly better. Waterfox has a little less telemetry, but the big draw is that it doesn't have Mozilla fagging up the browser either. Firefox has removed a lot of about:config features because users might choose the wrong settings, but Waterfox still lets you change them.
I am currently passport bro-ing right now. I'm a tech worker that's full remote and I'm spending time in South America to see if it matches up to Eastern Europe. Tbh, I prefer eastern europe but both are better than the USA. I'm above average height, fitness, salary, etc..
I just had a date 2 hours ago, with a gorgeous college educated woman who has the body of a model and speaks 4 languages (inc English) and is a decade younger than me. (Edit: Oh, and she's also whiter than most girls from where I live in the USA.) I took her out to a nice dinner that was white tablecloth but cost less than a dinner for 2 at most fast food (fast food is ridiculous these days). She was respectful, feminine, and appreciative the whole time and wants to see me again soon. She also seemed to genuinely want me, when she got a chance to hug me she rubbed her hands all over my body and said that I must workout. Biggest downside is that she lied on her dating app and said she younger, but she still looks like a model so IDK. I'm don't know if she's the one, but she's 100% better than any girl in the last 6 months of dating in the USA.
My plan is to just move indefinitely. Find a wife, live abroad, keep doing remote. I can't wait to return to America for family reunions and all, so girls can call me a loser incel when I end up having kids and they end up having cats.
That's clearly what it means. If you're not talking/texting with someone already, you have no way to ask them to facetime.
And we know it's not some crazy requirement like him needing to stay within 5 seconds of his phone so he can always facetime, because that would have been part of the article instead.
These honestly seem pretty reasonable.
- Nobody should be going to strip clubs in a relationship.
- He's a football player, so the only people who want pictures with him are male fans or women who want to fuck him.
- LTRs should absolutely always have instantly accepting videocalls as a dealbreaker, assuming it's reciprocal. If you're in long distance relationship and your GF will text you but decline a video call until she's ready... you're getting cucked.
- Wardrobe stuff seems normal for celebrities.
I think you're talking about Sirlin. https://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub
I once played a scrub who was actually quite good. That is, he knew the rules of the game well, he knew the character matchups well, and he knew what to do in most situations. But his web of mental rules kept him from truly playing to win. He cried cheap as I beat him with “no skill moves” while he performed many difficult dragon punches. He cried cheap when I threw him five times in a row asking, “Is that all you know how to do? Throw?” I gave him the best advice he could ever hear. I told him, “Play to win, not to do ‘difficult moves.’” This was a big moment in that scrub’s life. He could either ignore his losses and continue living in his mental prison or analyze why he lost, shed his rules, and reach the next level of play.
I’ve never been to a tournament where there was a prize for the winner and another prize for the player who did many difficult moves. I’ve also never seen a prize for a player who played “in an innovative way.”
Fallout 3 doesn't make sense. It's an apocalypse story, but it's supposed to be a story about the post-post apocalypse. It's set 200 years after the war, but there's still grocery stores with potable canned goods in them. Fucking what?
It just copies things from the first 2 Fallouts without thinking if they make sense or not. IMO never play it because it's dumb.
I don't think that matters or was the case. Joe's is the only reason any of these sweetheart deals existed, he could have asked for 90% and gotten it.
When you're as old as Joe and your public finances are scrutinized, there's no point to it anyways. You can't spend it. The money is going to go to your heirs, so might as well have them collect directly. The 10% was IMO just so that he'd have oversight on everything, so his family members collecting in his name have to keep him in the loop, so they can't go try and do side deals and potentially get their dumbasses caught when they get too greedy.
