  • Whether out in public or in private is better, depends on context.

    Although it’s probably a bit beyond social media debate. When it comes down to “seeing a strangers body floating in the river” , “finding your sibling hanging in the next room” or “found at a kindergarten playground”.

    spoiler

    All of those examples are based on real life acquaintances who ended their lives, and their discovery. And to be clear: The kindergarten one was discovered before the kids arrived.





  • Indeed, they specifically called it genocide when it was announced. And they voted against their leadership who only wanted one of those “culture and academic” boycotts(a small part of the leadership also wanted to call it “unimaginable suffering” instead of genocide). But the people voted 240 in favor and 69 against an economic boycott. They’re also backing up the UN’s demand of the occupation ending by September. At which point they want Norway to initiate an international boycott if it has not happened.

    They have some ties to the current major political party, the Labour Party, who’s leader said he “disagreed”.

    For reference, this an “umbrella organization” with two dozen smaller unions totaling over a million people, out of Norways 5.5m total population. They represent around 35% of working adults, meaning that if they go into strike, the country shuts down.

    EDIT: It should be mentioned that this was at a yearly conference, which is also why it didn’t happened sooner.

    Conceal Spell

    Through sheer mental effort, you can simplify the incantations and gestures needed to spellcast, leaving them barely noticeable. If the next action you use is to Cast a Spell, the spell gains the subtle trait, hiding the shining runes, sparks of magic, and other manifestations that would usually give away your spellcasting. The trait hides only the spell’s spellcasting actions and manifestations, not its effects, so an observer might still see a ray streak out from you or see you vanish into thin air.

    Silent Spell (Metamagic)

    Benefit: A silent spell can be cast with no verbal components. Spells without verbal components are not affected. A silent spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

    Doesn’t work for Bard spells, although they have a way to disguise theirs:

    Melodious Spell

    You subtly weave your spellcasting into a performance. If the next action you use is to Cast a Spell, the spell gains the subtle trait, hiding the shining runes, sparks of magic, and other manifestations that would usually give away your spellcasting. The trait hides only the spell’s spellcasting actions and manifestations, not its effects, so an observer might still see a ray streak out from you or see you vanish into thin air.




  • Not sure vampiric “law” cares about renters rights. And if it does, is it based on current laws in the country they are in, or the country of origin? And is it the origin of vampires themselves or just the vampire turned. And is it based on the time they were turned or modern laws?

    Either way, in one instance I they bought it from the bank after missed mortage payments. So they weren’t legally living there anyway but counted as last/current resident for the vampire since the bank isn’t a person.



  • A private company is selling cheap tablets to inmates to let them communicate with their family. They have to use “digital stamps” to send messages, 35 cents a piece and come in packs of 5, 10 or 20. Each stamp covers up to 20,000 characters or one single image.

    They also sell songs, at $1.99 a piece, and some people have spent thousands over the years. That’s also now just going away.

    Then you get to the part about the new company. Who already has a system in Tennessee where inmates have to pay 3-5 cents per minute of tablet usage. Be that watching a movie they’ve bought or just typing a message.

    Yeah, Quake 2 recommended a Pentium 133, and that was released two years earlier(the AMD equivalent was released only a year and a half before the game). It required a Pentium 90 which was three years old, but it didn’t run smooth from what I remember.

    That sort of requirement for a major component today would be considered self-sabotage for most non-vr pc games.
