Which is a colour named after the fruit iirc

Many games with voices also support subtitles, personally I learned most of my English from my parents watching English tv with subs (in our language at first, then when I was a little older English subs)

Was it fighting random germans, or fighting the actual nazis? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

After another read, prompted by this comment, I found the part they’re referring to: if you click through at the top of the pdf to HLG you get here: https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/networks/high-level-group-hlg-access-data-effective-law-enforcement_en, and this does describe all the things mentioned in that comment!

Note that OP’s link is less crazy and dangerous (in fact, in cyber security you basically assume the metadata is known anyway), but this implies coming proposals that are a lot more invasive to our privacy

Hmm, fair point. I guess I default to assuming that data is already kept, just often not long enough for law enforcement to come and request it (in a way that’s functionally the same as never even saving it I guess), but practically this would mean lots of providers starting to keep records, also the storage requirement would be enormous if it’s saved at every hop, so practicality is a concern too.

Correct me if I’m wrong:

The way I read it it’s not about any new data gathering or backdoors or whatever, it’s about keeping the metadata (so not message content, but things like source/destination, date & time of a message), which already are known to the service provider, but not structurally saved until slow law enforcement comes asking for it (which they already can and do). So nothing is added except efficiency, if I read it correctly.

If you have concerns about anything they already do, or things not in this proposal but scary or dangerous; now is as good a time as any to complain about it, and perhaps this is a valid platform for it, but phrase it as such.

But some of the comments (on the proposal) talking about adding backdoors just look like someone didn’t read and just blindly started complaining, which is not a good look.

If we want to participate as educated citizens, let’s educate ourselves so our input is still valued in the future.

That all aside, thanks for sharing!

Especially if you use “bread” loosely

Any kind of individuality

Look inside

Moon landing denier

Okay, maybe you’re kind of deliberately understating that a little?

Don’t get me wrong, they seem to be arguing relatively respectfully so I don’t think they deserve the downvotes, but claiming the downvotes are for individuality is a stretch lol

Sure, but confirmation bias + placebo is better than negative spiralling into your triggers, no?

It’s not that hard to see lol

I’d guess less than by not having any flowers at all. Where I live, most (non metro) trams drive pretty slow, like 30km/h in long straight parts, so unless they get between the wheels and the rails I doubt anything would really hurt the bees.

Could be nfc for an nfc enabled eid perhaps? I’m wondering as well

I have the opposite experience, went to London a while ago and kept noticing most people keep left instead of right like I’m used to.

Fair enough 😄

Did you miss the link at the end of file 0001-3 “disgusting” https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/disgusting

I think that explains it well

In people’s defence: they can’t know about things other than looks at first sight right? Redirecting the conversation might be exactly what they want too, so take it as an invitation to talk about your kid 😄

Are you in the US? Move to a country which actually respects bikes (and weed) like the Netherlands and it might tbh. Disclaimer: I’m not from there but I am from a nearby European country, and I know there’s always a shortage of bike mechanics, enough so that the courses get subsidised.

Which is equally insane, no?

Yeah but those are different niches. The people that already played 3/3.5 didn’t feel like 4e was for them (and in a way, it wasn’t), so they moved on to pathfinder etc. Some newer players got into dnd with 4e but it alienated the older minmaxer types that liked 3(.5)e. (I have not done any research and this is all gut feeling and 2nd hand accounts by the way). In 5e they struck the right balance to get a kind of 3.5e “light”, that can attract new players as well as satisfy older players, though of course you can’t ever satisfy everyone.

You’re right of course that mirror image and invisibility are super strong spells that don’t benefit from a higher save DC, but the pattern series of spells (of which I consider colour spray the single target version) are still super good.

In the end, don’t forget that “fun” is different for everyone, and with experience you might find yourself wanting to challenge yourself with “suboptimal” choices because it’s more fun to play your first gnome paladin than the tenth halfling rogue.

Oh yeah definitely, game systems are rarely a good implementation outside of the combat. Many DnD games are definitely good (I’ve played neverwinter nights series, baldur’s gate series, dungeons and dragons online), but the real charm in DnD is playing with your friends and having a good time (as well as hyperoptimising your character at the same time, if you like that) (honestly I believe that’s one of the realisations WotC made with 3.5e that led them to make 4e, and subsequently 5e, a lot simpler: making it easier to get your friends into it was more important than having myriads of options for breaking the game)
