I’ve built worlds and I love the flexibility, but it also leaves little room for surprise if I’m the one creating it. Diving into other peoples worlds is a different experience, and one I’ve often enjoyed too.

I like both… sometimes Faerun seems crowded or sloppy, but having so much history can be fun too.

Tried a couple but I’ll swap to a diff exit city in the AM. I don’t use them much so I likely never noticed.

Except that’s not true. Somehow, 23andme missed the almost certainly anomalous activity on thier network that lead to the extraction of 6.9 million users’ data. Missing the activity associated with the massive data dump, designing thier system to allow for that? 100% thier fault.

One should not be able to use a set of hacked accounts to dump that much data. That’s a design flaw.

Process design, procedure design. Or perhaps just a failure to bother with pesky things like monitoring and such. Maybe we’ll find out if it goes to court.

“Incompetent” is a stretch. No chance of winning, perhaps, but that’s only true because the two major parties continue to work together to make it true. Colluding with a fledgling fascist dictator to lock out other competition and then smirking about “wasted votes” maybe be stabard operating procedure but it shouldn’t be.

Trump is a monster. Biden is not a good person. Let’s kick then both to the curb and agree to support someone who isn’t an objectively terrible person.

Yep. What’s truly disappointing is that the voters in one of those major parties are extremely comfortable being complicit in genocide et al. It is entirely within their power to demand that their own party field someone less terrible… but they do not for reasons that only make sense if one looks at the process as one that values winning over all.

I agree that the system is broken. But the process that favors the two parties need not be used to field terrible candidates. THAT part of the process is 100% the responsibility of those who vote for those parties. If the candidates are terrible, then the blame for that rest solely on their shoulders.

Biden has a terrible history of friendship and collusion with racists, bigots, etc. Currently, he’s a genocide apologist. I would LOVE it if the Democrats fielded someone I could get behind. It’s not about one issue, it’s about asking for a bare minimum level of humanity. “Not a bigoted genocide apologist” should not be a stretch goal.

Yes, they offered that up to us too. We might just have to migrate off of Proton and onto Tuta.

The Democrats have a membership of millions. If they find someone who isn’t objectively a garbage person, I guarantee they win. You’ll still see the “must vote blue” crowd vote D because let’s be real, they’ll do as they’re told every time. And you’ll also get the votes of the people who believe in a better world.

Win win, but the millions of D voters will continue to sell the line that they are powerless to sway thier own party.
