The reason I disagree with this is that if we truly decide to “lock someone away for life”, it will ultimately cost us, the taxpayers, tons of money as someone is kept fed, educated, healthy, etc. I’m not against any of those things for the average Americans, but if someone is just going to spend the rest of their life in prison, they’re going to spend the rest of their life costing money.

That said, does it make the death penalty the answer? I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer, I’m not a legal expert, I’m not an expert in anything. What I do know is that there are crimes that most people would probably say they’re okay with the death penalty, and crimes that people say they’re definitely not okay with it. I generally lean more towards the death penalty in some cases, but I also know that they fight and appeal for years and cost even more money. I also know that many innocent people have been put on death row, and that’s not okay. I think Texas uses it a bit liberally and that’s not okay.

Again, I’m not an expert, but “locking him up for life” is just gonna cost more than he may be worth.

It’s just not super black and white, in my opinion. But I’d love to be corrected and hear opposing views.

In Pathfinder 1e, it mentions that high charisma can mean an attractive person. We know this can be true because my bard had a 36 cha (PF1e is broken lmao) and we all know it wasn’t his personality.

Interesting. I might have to get Jellyfin set up and run them simultaneously for a bit. Like I said my favorite Plex thing is Plexamp because it’s so clean and simple and I’d rather use a dedicated app for music instead of the main app.

I do like that it’s FOSS though, so that’s pretty great.

Is jellyfin that much better? I’ve seen people throw it around a lot and I’ve yet to try it. The big thing I like about Plex is Plexamp as a music app and it seems like Jellyfin lacks that for the time being.

I’m starting to switch over to Proton. I haven’t paid for it yet but my plan is to start paying and potentially grab usernames on other sites so I can have a consistent email across any site I decide to use.

I haven’t seen the last like 4 Marvel movies because they no longer interest me. I have been enjoying most of the shows, but it’s a bit less of a commitment to say “oh I’ll watch one of these episodes every now and then” instead of going to a theater and spending 3-4 hours there.

So yeah, I think most people are getting burned out. The latest movies haven’t been very good from what I’ve heard, the stories aren’t as fun, the new characters aren’t carrying as well as the old guard. Basically the same issue with Star Wars where the movies suck but the shows have been either really good or really bad.

My favorite part is that it’s super customizable, and specifically that it’s self-hosted. We ran into issues with Roll20 all the time where it would get super slow or something wasn’t working like you’d expect, especially inventory stuff.

I won’t say Foundry is perfect, but where the tool itself lacks, the fact that there are thousands of modules that can change functionality or add something cool is just amazing. Modules get made to add blood spatter, deal with terrain, add custom weather effects, add in items from 3rd party books, etc.

And like I said, self-hosting is a big win because we’re no longer reliant on someone else. Sure, if the host’s internet drops, we can’t play, but it’s only happened twice in two years of using it.

Not my favorite. He’s got a couple solid songs but the rest isn’t my jam. My style is more Death in the death metal genre, or Metallica in thrash.

I love death and thrash metal a lot. I can occasionally write some really solid riffs that I feel are representative of what I like normally.

However…

My best work is the simple acoustic stuff I write when I’m bored and don’t feel like plugging an amp in. I don’t even like the kind of music it ends up falling into normally, but I guess I can write it.
