You’re an air squid, your exposure is limited.

Feel like the real underdog here is seafood.

Like, we know toxins concentrate in water creatures. That’s why you’ll see way more warnings about fish you harvest on any DNR page than you will deer.

“Progressives” with enough privilege that they think that if it comes down to it, they can always bend the knee to avoid the wall.

These people tend to be rabidly accelerationist, cause it’s not their lives and livelihoods on the line.

This line of thinking allows you to be an ideological purist and denounce any incrementalism or harm reduction as antithetical to the cause, stirring up infighting.

It also happens to be an excellent strategy outlined in the CIA’s saboteur handbook. (Literally, Google it, download the PDF from CIA.gov)

I daresay if more of the populace were hung there’d be a lot fewer angry opinions like this.

To be fair, it applied in feudalism too, depending on how important you were.

Worse.

“Vulgar sense of entitlement” - you think you deserve more than I think you do and it is viscerally disgusting to me.

In context - “You think we shouldn’t be able to coup your government/group because we don’t know better what you need than you do and that viscerally disgusts me.”

ETA: the “woke” bit is fun too because it adds a layer of racism to this seven layer shit salad.

hipster engineering -

“Man I’m just saying, committing the Laplace tables to memory and working with a slide rule just hits different.”

What kind of dragon are they?

Are they a chromatic dragon like Bezos or Musk?

Are they a metallic dragon like Swift?

Either way they still smash smallfolk, it’s a question of if it’s purposeful or not.

It’s enough to wipe out most people’s student loans, and buy a reliable vehicle, then put a down payment on a house. That’s life changing.

Threw rocks at stuff.

Trains, signs, each other,

Peed off of tall stuff.

Ride bikes.

Try to build ramps for the bikes.

Crash the bikes.

Ask your mom for a popsicle cause you have a fat lip now from hitting your face on your bikes handlebars.

Generally dumb things.

Freak out cause the kid s few doors down got his hands on some dry ice.

But the dry ice in bottles.

Run away when that nosy old lady calls the police cause people are “making bombs”

That’ll work out well for them. Fascists are famously tolerant of people who are slightly different.

We should all be so lucky! Harbor Freight is where all my “Tryout” tools come from. If I break a Harbor Freight tool, then I spend the money on a real one. I’ve found some decent ones that way.

“Where does this green wire go?”

I appreciate HW engineers and techs. I’m not afraid of datasheets, circuit diagrams, or a mso and they’re always patient enough to explain things to me so I can make the rocks behave. Or at least tell me how to go from diagram to board lol.

If you ever find yourself reaching for the phrase “unwashed masses” unironically, you’re the baddy.

They could send him the nests. Just mark it with an “H” so you know there’s hornets inside.

That’s crazy. You can’t do six. It’s seven! SEVEN MINUTE ABS!

“the serial output from my test unit turns into garbage and it happens at completely random times!”

“Did you make sure they were plugged in all the way?”

“WHAT?!?! ARE YOU SUGGESTING I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING?!?!”

Some time later

“Yeah, it turned out to be the serial connection was loose.”

This seems like a pretty decent resource generally speaking. I’ll add this caveat though.

If your threat model includes anyone with large state level resources, you should stay very far away from anything with a radio in it. Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, whatever, it doesn’t matter. It is possible for it to be compromised at a silicon level, which means you can never be sure it is fully secure.

You have to assume that anything transmitted via RF of any type is capable of being collected and compromised.

All that said, if your concern actually does include people with black helicopters, you already know this, and if it doesn’t, just remember that these technologies are getting cheaper and more ubiquitous all the time (see stingray), so be careful.

Used to be, gm rule 1 was “everyone should be having fun”

I, and it’s been awhile, have changed my personal rule 1 to “every player has autonomy”

Nobody came to watch your one person play, it’s a group storytelling game, if it’s not collaborative you’re doing it wrong.
