Might be interesting, but I'm not taking conspiracy theories (to be clear: this is a conspiracy theory. Even if it's true, it's a theory about a conspiracy.) from the Nazi blogging website seriously.

they should not meet in session 1.

Strongly disagree. Nothing wrong with doing that, but nothing wrong with having them meet in session 1 too, as long as you have built characters who will be willing to go along with the GM's hooks.

And even that part is flexible, depending on the nature of the hook. If the hook is "you see an ad look for rat exterminators", then you better have a character who wants to be an adventurer and will cooperate with other would-be adventurers. If the hook is "you're prisoners being ordered to go explore this dungeon by order of the vizier", there's room for slightly less cooperative PCs, as long as you PC is cooperative enough to go along with that order, even if (at first) reluctantly.

This video raises some interesting theories, but unfortunately it doesn't have any data to back up the more controversial ones. I'm inclined to agree with it, but I'd rather see actual evidence to back that up, if it's possible for that kind of evidence to be collected. Did the Greens' strategy during the campaign and during the last term of Parliament lose them a significant amount of votes? It's hard to say.

The summary being that the Greens were always going to lose seats as soon as the LNP slipped backward into 3rd place and got eliminated, giving votes to Labor, and that nothing the Greens could have done or not done would have changed that, is the most important piece of it, though.

Oooh, Dracula has received a shipment of empty boxes. What ever could they be for, I wonder? 🤔

 

CHAPTER IV

JONATHAN HARKER’S JOURNAL—continued

17 June.---This morning, as I was sitting on the edge of my bed cudgelling my brains, I heard without a cracking of whips and pounding and scraping of horses' feet up the rocky path beyond the courtyard. With joy I hurried to the window, and saw drive into the yard two great leiter-wagons, each drawn by eight sturdy horses, and at the head of each pair a Slovak, with his wide hat, great nail-studded belt, dirty sheepskin, and high boots. They had also their long staves in hand. I ran to the door, intending to descend and try and join them through the main hall, as I thought that way might be opened for them. Again a shock: my door was fastened on the outside.

Then I ran to the window and cried to them. They looked up at me stupidly and pointed, but just then the "hetman" of the Szgany came out, and seeing them pointing to my window, said something, at which they laughed. Henceforth no effort of mine, no piteous cry or agonised entreaty, would make them even look at me. They resolutely turned away. The leiter-wagons contained great, square boxes, with handles of thick rope; these were evidently empty by the ease with which the Slovaks handled them, and by their resonance as they were roughly moved. When they were all unloaded and packed in a great heap in one corner of the yard, the Slovaks were given some money by the Szgany, and spitting on it for luck, lazily went each to his horse's head. Shortly afterwards, I heard the cracking of their whips die away in the distance.

Omg thanks for linking that thread. The amount of removed and deleted content on Lemmy is so frustrating. I hate the fact that removed or deleted posts also completely nuke all the comments on it.

Reddit's approach is so much better in this respect. A removed post removed the OP's text, but if it's a link post the link remains, and all the comments remain.

I found a chapstick that had been lost for, I'm pretty sure, years a couple of weeks ago.

And promptly lost it again.

And then found my other chapstick, which was lost since last winter. Kept that one around for a few days. Lost it again.

slightly warmer for the rest of the week

It's amazing! I actually had to take my socks off in bed last night for the first time in weeks.

Did anybody notice the wispy clouds all day yesterday

Yeah I did. Definitely not a fan of the full cloud cover today though. My solar panels are producing less than half of what they did yesterday. Which is still enough to cover my usage, but I dunno if my battery will be recharged by this evening.

Not nearly to the same extent as America, but in general, yes. Same direction, just less extreme.

Hey now, he might have been born here, but he's not our arsehole. And he hasn't been for 40 years.

  5. Vader: She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to recover them.
    Commander Praji: Do you want me to prepare your ship so you can oversee the operation personally like you always do?
    Vader: Of course not. That planet is covered in sand. I-
    Both imperials in chorus:-don't like sand. It's course and rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere. We know, we know.
