the damage it did to society as a whole has been incalculable

Ok, that's hilarious 😂. A few edgy comedians had a rough patch and now Rome is burning!

I think society will survive any misapplications of cancelling. There is no need to worry.

Because the current use of the word reinforces stigma around pedophilia and makes it less likely for people with pedophilic disorder to reach out for help for the fear they would be outed and treated the same as actual child abusers.

OP is saying that by referring to child molesters as pedophiles, instead of child molesters, we risk scaring non-abusing pedophiles from seeking treatment. There are treatment programs for pedophilia, but social stigma can cause them to not be popular with the masses and lose funding.

Edit: I brain farted a bit and had a fib in there. Removed it.

This is the right answer. It's a big cryogenic refrigerator called a Dilution Refrigerator. It's fancy stuff. Needs Helium-4, which is more common, and Helium-3, which mostly comes from nuclear production.

Sgt. Fern Spellman couldn't stay for any more questions as there was a report of a caricature artist welding a pencil two streets over.

Seriously, I don't think that thing was sharp at all.

Hey now. Trump would definitely rule out pardons for his sons too.

Edit: For different reasons though, lol.

There's a somewhat poorly written TL;DR of the controversy on the YouTube fandom wiki.

Fully Ramblomatic has been Yhatzee's IP since forever. He has a website under that name where he blogs about his games and books and such. Second Wind is big on creator owned IP.

I still see where you're coming from, but this isn't a new name just for this show.

Pretty forgiving language in that headline.

Here's a description of the bleeding process:

https://www.horseshoecrab.org/med/bestpractices.html

It's specifically non-fatal:

Bleeding horseshoe crabs to death is not an acceptable practice in the U.S.

The volume of blood taken is actually quite small, as most of the material in the collection jars is anticoagulant.

It may look uncomfortable to us humans, but keep in mind that horseshoe crabs are not human. What's normal for the spider is chaos for the fly. Granted, it would be kinda weird to be hoisted from your home by a giant ape and forced into a blood drive. It's done as gently as possible though.

This looks great. I love the raccoon take on classic RPG classes like Mess Magus (Wizard) and Dumpster Diviner (Cleric). You can get the PDF for as little as $10USD.

An older Air Fryer that used a halogen bulb for the heating element instead of a resistive coil. Here's Mr. T selling one.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

Eh, it's low voltage DC (mega high current tho). It should all short pretty close to itself (electricity takes the shortest, least resistive path). If it toppled sideways they'd be like 10' away. They'd be fine. Most heavy equipment uses lead acid batteries too, and they don't explode like lithium ion.

Still not safe fo sho, but I don't think electrocution is high on the probability list.

This unofficial series follows human progression into the solar system. Starting from putting a base on the moon and going all the way to discovering ancient alien ruins outside our solar system.

I think it's pretty neat how optimistic and diverse it is. There's a prominent Native American character. Fantastic!

Caveat, some women get thrown in fridges pretty suddenly and for seemingly no narrative reason. Not all women though, so kind of weird.

You ever just want to eat a stack of meat? Want it covered in cheese and sauce? You're in luck! Check out Versato's. If you've ever had Vern's Pizza then this is similar.

These pizzas are heavy, and they are very tasty. The prices may seem high, but keep in mind that there's a lot of toppings per slice.

I had one of these growing up, they were great! I also got the Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS version when it came out. Personally I preferred the Digimon D-3 Digivice virtual pet, but they were all fun!

This website plays lofi tracks 24/7. There's multiple channels each with a different vibe. I like to have it on when I'm doing super fun paperwork at my job.

35 LB isn't even that much if you have a medium dog.

What is the Cypher System

The Cypher System is a setting-agnostic tabletop role playing game system designed by Monte Cook Games. It's less crunchy than D&D while still having a bit of math for the nerds in your party. Setting agnostic means it can be played in any setting and still make sense. You supply the story, Cypher is the mechanics. If building a whole new world isn't up your alley, then you can always try one of the currently published settings.

Old Gus' Cypher System Reference Document (OG-CSRD) aims to be an easy-to-use reference when running or playing a Cypher game.

The Cypher System Rulebook is a thick tome with a lot of stuff in it, but as it's setting-agnostic not all of that stuff is needed. You won't need any of the space or robot stuff if you're doing a fantasy game, for instance. That's where the OG-CSRD comes in handy. Ctrl + F your problems, or use the swanky hyperlinks. It's easier to navigate than the PDF version of the rule book, and it doesn't take up shelf space.

Settings

Monte Cook Games has released a number of settings. These add flavor to the base system and turn it into a full game. Most have a few premade adventures included to get you started. All settings require the Cypher System Rule Book (or OG-CSRD) to play.

Godforsaken - Sword and Sorcery

The Stars Are Fire - Sci-Fi and Space

Stay Alive - Spooky Horror

We Are All Mad Here - Alice in Wonderland Flavored

Claim the Sky - Modern Hopeful Superheroes

The Origin - Modern Gritty Superheroes

Unmasked - Eighties Dark Superheroes

First Responders - Exactly what it sounds like

Gods of the Fall - Celestial Fantasy

Predation - Time Travel and Dinosaurs

Stand Alone Games

There are also a few TTRPGs running on the Cypher System. Some are published by Monte Cook, others are licensing the system.

The Strange - You're basically an MTG Planeswalker

~~Old Gods of Appalachia - Eldritch Hillbillies~~

Vurt - Cyberpunk with questionable intimacy

Shotguns and Sorcery - Fantasy Noir

Upcoming Games

These aren't out yet, but the hype is real. It's Kickstarter and some untested creators, so bear with them.

Old Gods of Appalachia - Eldritch Hillbillies

Tidal Blades 2 - Fish, people, and fish-people

Harrow: The Blighted Plane - Burning Man Crystal Punk

Ptolus - Much loved, much less pronounced

And Many More

I mean, probably. I don't know everything, so feel free to add to the list.

Edit: I'm from the future and forgot that Old Gods of Appalachia isn't out for y'all yet. Fixed

This may be pretty niche, but if you've ever shopped for valves you've probably seen these weird symbols. Turns out they can be read, and they do mean something! I mean, I think words would work too, but all the power to valve people.
