Fuck you mr skeltal. If my bones get too powerful, what will they need me for?
This is awesome, and done by some really talented kids who are clearly smart motivated and willing to put in the work to get this project out the door.
Now imagine if the resources to do this kind of work as well as the background education and things like food security and economic stability were given to kids outside of an exclusive private boarding school? We'd empower some of the most imaginative of us to accomplish so many more amazing things.
That's not how international law works.
So, it seems like the secret was the opposition parties actually campaigning on doing things the voters liked and addressing their concerns instead of belittling them. I agree, I think US politicians should also try actually appealing to disaffected voters to get them to vote against tyranny instead of lecturing them.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
They're opening up a US office, so it makes sense they're testing out US sponsorships. They already have Japanese baseball sponsorships and they're also planning to open their office in CA, near LA isn't an odd location for that.
"Whelp, I tried but we can't get the votes to confirm them"
That looks way earlier than 03. Is 03 considered a really long time ago now?
The issue is AI is just too broad of a term. It's also not a magic bullet and comes with its own problems so it's not even the best tool for the job many times.
No, Google and Amazon were actually well run businesses with sensible business plans to meet needs in the market and did it well.
It's easier said than done. A few key pieces took decades to figure out and even now many can only be produced by one or two companies, like ASML.
Oh no, a clerical error.
In this case yes, because transportation workers have special protections, but it can just as easily apply to strip transportation workers of rights given to bakery workers in different circumstances.
I think it's kind of neutral.
They kludged it, probably only store 2 digits and if its lower than current year, assume 2000s, otherwise assume 1900s.
I mean this is criminal negligence that lead to many deaths. I'm not a fan of the death penalty but they should be held as liable as a drink driver or someone who skimps on building materials and kills someone when the building collapses.
Regardless of what one might think should happen or expect to happen, the actual psychological effect is harmful to the victim. It's like if you walked up to someone and said "I'm imagining you naked" that's still harassment and off-putting to the person, but the image apps have been shown to have much much more severe effects.
It's like the demonstration where they get someone to feel like a rubber hand is theirs, then hit it with a hammer. It's still a negative sensation even if it's not a strictly logical one.

[Spoiler] Theory about an iconic manga panel
Spoilers for anyone who hasn't gotten up to chapter 967 in the manga
With regards to the iconic Roger Laughing panel when he gets to Laugh Tale, I think the reason Roger laughed when he got to Laugh Tale is because Joy Boy intended his treasure for someone who would live on and lead the world to a new future by overthrowing the World Government.
This would have been extremely ironic, since Roger was terminally ill and had just spent the final days of his life seeking a treasure that was meant for someone else, who would live long enough to be able to change the world.
I think that positions Luffy in a really interesting spot because he has been shedding his life span throughout the manga, like in Impel Down. It doesn't feel like a very Luffy thing to not take the one piece just because he doesn't have very long to live. I wonder if he would take whatever is on laugh tale and through sheer will power force the world to change before dying.
Impressions from first run as a one shot
Just ran my first game, and had made a few tweaks to run it as a one shot, and it seemed to work pretty well. My main concern was around bullets being too abusable since each player could just auto-ignore 5 shocks.
Rule Tweaks
- Drop starting bullets to 2 per players, force them to take wounds instead, then give them back 1 bullet for each successful tab.
- Let players reroll 1s when rolling for rhythm, this way they don't get stuck not being able to do as much their first game.
- Force players to narratively motivate using a bullet to absorb a shock, if its not related to their memory, don't let them spend it.
General things I would do on a second run
- Really ramp up the difficulty, use your Risk at the start of the tab and bump the difficulty by 1-2 at the first tab. This forces more 0 hit checks, so players need to start exhausting their wounds and rhythm earlier.
- Players generally won't ask to make clocks, so as a Big Shot you should redirect objectives to smaller clocks.
- I used 2 clocks for small things, like using a very unorthodox approach to achieve something.
- I house ruled letting players tick another clock after closing out a non-objective clock, if the non-objective clock was to do something that furthered the objective. I may have missed something, but I don't see any mechanical incentive to finish clocks outside of the objective clock so I felt like giving a small bonus to it felt more concrete than just giving them something narrative. Also, most clocks are created in order to advance another clock anyway.
