@artfulreggie this is a true and valid point.

@artfulreggie eh I suppose. I just like using furry aesthetics.

@artfulreggie i mean i have run hunter the reckoning but running it in the 1980s less so

@artfulreggie i would love to run an Adventure! Game but thats set in 1925 and that just seems like a great way to get some accidental toxicity

@artfulreggie havent run all of them hahah but a bunch of them for sure. I like to dm

@artfulreggie all the ones I listed above. Also Exalted, Ironclaw, and Dresden Files

Oh I often make them furry aesthetically when I can

The more I think on it the more I know I could never run a werewolf game

I also have no interest in running a vampire game

Games i want to run
AEON Trinity (whitewolf)
Mage the Ascension in the Bay Area (white wolf)
Hunter the Reckoning 1980s in Seattle
World Tree
Changeling the Dreaming

@Leucrotta to be fair since SandyHook there has been a lot of movement on the state level on gun safety. A lot of it small and local. That has been an ongoing thing and it varies a lot but concerted national efforts beyond some executive orders, well, not much.

We will see if any of that gets married to anti trans rhetoric. All the chatter after Sandy Hook on mental health did not go very far after all

@BuddyGoodboyEsq @artfulreggie rubbing the fox's belly? yes always, for it is very ample.

@artfulreggie my work here is done.

Taking Bakhmut as an example:
1) the "gains" were measured in meters not KM
2) the evidence that thousands of ukrainian soldiers would be captures was not based on any firm data
3) even if the location was gained the context was this was a small town of 70,000 pre war and there is ample evidence the larger cities it leads too have spent months being fortified

To me the context is that war is always a tragedy this is no excpetion and people have a bad habit of arm chair strategizing with poor data

So to me this was a situation of huge expenditures of life and material to gain very little... and they haven't even done that.

We assume immediate data consumption makes us informed and not knowing is a flaw or problem, but I would argue that hearing information right away before it is given context or checked is sometimes very unhelpful.

Honestly considering how people in my news feeds were so certain this location would "fall" (a nebulous definition which I suppose means Russia capturing the area and prisoners) and it hasn't I think this is a good reminder about the flaws in how we take in data and information.

It is human nature to draw conclusions and see patterns but we as a species (and I include myself) have bad habit of not questioning out data streams

alright I htink I have a good plan for tomorrow's cookie and the day is going nicely overall.
