If the AI could really detect any discrepancies between human and AI-generated text, it would stop making them.

To be fair, it's kind of hard to come up with a defense when your premise is "Cancer treatments cause cancer" 😄

Which specific puberty blocker drug do you believe increases the risk of cancer?

Wall Avoidance is a nice QoL perk but it's buggy and only fully applies to static terrain. It's unreliable around dynamic objects like swinging doors, fails often when performing inputs rapidly, and absolutely will not work with anything that temporarily modifies the user's hitbox. It's also really hard to gauge the perk's overall value without knowing which of my debuffs is the one that was applied to cover the equipping cost. I really can't recommend unlocking it unless you're specifically going for a DEX build, and even then you likely have many better options available.

I think visual daydreams are just the most common type, so that's what people tend to describe. I don't have aphantasia and yet I often find myself getting lost in imagined conversations with people I know, or mentally rehearsing how I would teach/explain something, or trying to optimize a build or loadout in whatever video game I've gotten interested in lately. None of that feels any different from a typical daydream in terms of experience; I'm just using my imagination verbally or logically instead of visually.

Wow, almost a blackout. Even the ones I didn't mark are still things that I do, just not frequently enough for them to seem unusual.

Is there a rule that daydreams have to be visual? Spending lots of time thinking up extremely detailed strategies for unlikely hypothetical scenarios definitely qualifies as "elaborate daydreams", in my opinion.

Okay, this one I'm sending to my DM.

I was going to send this to my DM, but then I remembered that he would absolutely do it.

I was responding specifically to the implication that Biden isn't trying to do loan forgiveness, which is factually incorrect. It's the courts that keep blocking the plan and forcing it to be narrower in scope, not Biden.

As for this proposed cap on rent increases, I fail to see how a limited increase is worse than an unlimited one. Is it less action than we need? Definitely. Is it insulting that it took the credible threat of a fascist dictatorship to extract this tiny concession? Absolutely. Am I going to kick and scream because it isn't everything I wanted? Hell no! Just the fact that the President is seriously discussing this is an improvement, and we need all the leftward momentum we can get if we ever want to start pushing the Overton window on economic issues.

I used to scoff like this at early efforts to decriminalize marijuana. "Lower penalties? State-issued medical cards with heavy restrictions? None of that actually solves anything! It needs to be completely legal!" Now look at where we are: Fully legal in 24 states, partially legal in most others, and the DEA has started the process for rescheduling to a less-restricted category. It was slow going and we're still not quite where we need to be, but that's way more progress than I ever thought we would get!

Seems kind of weird to blame the guy who is trying to do the thing you want and not the people who keep blocking it from happening.

No mention of trans people, which is odd given that Florida is a Do Not Travel state for its government's efforts to criminalize being transgender.
