I consider myself a feminist and I strongly recommend the book. It was my therapist that recommended it to me. The term "nice guy" has been co-opted to mean something different (though related) in the meme world.
If that's the case then they have little use. We'll be reading AI created text from now on and we won't even know it. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Although I haven't had the chance to experience the game's precursors or indulge in Dungeons & Dragons before, I must say, I'm truly excited about this upcoming release. The concept seems intriguing, and I can't wait to dive into the world of possibilities it offers. As a newcomer, I'm eager to see what this game has in store for both veterans and newcomers like myself. Kudos to the developers for creating such a captivating experience!
Having briefly touched the Early Access version of the game, BG3 is easily the most DnD like video game I've ever experienced. I'd be willing to call Early Access a masterpeice and am quite excited for release next month! If you enjoy BG3, I'd implore you to try to find a real life DnD session. :)
BG3 will set the bar for DnD in video games. Hopefully...
IMO, the only problem I see with the game is the lack of a map screen. The acts being a single map with no barriers of travel makes the game feel small when the goblins can't find the "hidden" druid alcove that is 1min walking distance away
The world feels too dense, the plot is about traveling but it doesn't feel like you are traveling anywhere, it feels like you are playing in a kids playground where all attractions are right next to the other attractions
> Little Boy had around 140 pounds of uranium, Fat Man contained about 14 pounds of plutonium and reactor number four had about 180 tons of nuclear fuel.
Also, nuclear bombs are not that efficient. Little Boy was 1.5% efficient which means only 2 kg of fission products. Fat Man was probably about the same fallout. The two bombs were detonated at altitude so the fallout spread over large area.
There was also radiation from explosion but that degraded quickly and was limited to destroyed area.
Yep. This is increasingly pushing me away from Google Maps. Once offline mode comes to Apple, I'll move over completely ...just wish i could bring all my saved locations over.
As a user of free transit, i must disagree. It's great. The first poster isn't just correct in principle, but also practice. And it certainly doesn't deteriorate service. A sense of community ownership/responsibility grows from it not being pay walled.
Yeah I can see how that might work but it’s probably very ___location/culture dependent.
I have a distinct feeling that in my ___location there would quickly be loud voices talking about how much of a burden the cost is and the users are freeloading off the “hardworking people of our country” and they should just feel happy with whatever they’re served.

You see this class of argument often when it's pointed out that some issue is handled better in another part of the world; sometimes it seems like a posture of defeatism in the face of evidence that a better way is possible. See also: political polarization as a reason that nothing can ever get better.
Not saying that's how you mean it--I wonder, though, how we go about constructing a better culture? Are we merely victims of the culture we were given? Or are there efforts we can take to change the culture we have for the better? I'm curious what research shows about how cultural attitudes can be changed over time, either for better or worse.
Transit is actually never free, you either pay for it from fares, or from taxes, or a combination thereof.
Since mass transit access is something you can't badly overconsume in a sensible way, nor can you hoard and resell it in meaningful quantities, it does not noticeably suffer from the problems that plague free-to-take physical stuff. If keeping the access infrastructure is expensive, shutting it down and making access free may indeed save money. See how it works e.g. for public parks and city streets; both are toll-free.
