You can also go to jail for wearing a shiny policeman's badge when you aren't one. This is no different.

Well, sure hope you haven't done a lot of existing in public lately, because damn near everything out there has my tax dollars in it, and I'd appreciate you not abusing them. Get off my roads, get out of my schools, get out of my parks, unless you're paying into them.

Also, keep an eye out for the nice men knocking at the door. They'll be there soon with some questions, I'm sure.

"Could threaten access" what a shit headline. They are already actively denying access in their controlled areas. This isn't a problem that's forming, this is a problem that is already here and already large.

With proper use of metamagic, every spell is potentially like five different spells. Poindexter over here might have two dozen different named spells written down in his diary, but I know two fire based spells and I can make each of them do about eight different things, half of which aren't even fire damage.

It's the difference between writing down a recipe, and knowing how to cook.

This statement by itself restores a ton of my faith in you. I have no weight to throw around here and ultimately my opinion is more or less meaningless, but in my meaningless opinion, if an actual effort is made to improve on this then I'm happy to have you stay. A simple apology, explanation and promise is more than I've gotten out of 99% of all other moderators I've ever interacted with.

I lost a run the other day to a series of events, one of which included me (in-game) finding and eating enough psychedelic fungus to trigger a shift in reality, which transmuted all smoke in the universe and any created thereafter, into acid. Like carbolic acid, not the fun drugsy kind.

Acid, naturally, eats through all creatures and materials in the game world, including many things you'd consider otherwise invulnerable, until it evaporates - into flammable gas.

Therefore any time an object or material caught fire (which is often, with or without player interference), it would quickly consume anything below it for several meters while feeding itself with flammable gas and spreading to any new flammable materials it uncovered.

The world very quickly became a very large mess.

I imagine a lot of places may wonder about this and then kick that can down the road until someone does actually collide with their bridge.

Just shut up and get in the fucking robot, Shinji

While this is good advice in theory the unfortunate truth is if you block all the memes and news you're going to get like 1 new post a day. Lemmy is mostly memes and politics and Linux right now. We just don't have the population density such that the 28 English-speaking turtle breeders in the world can find each other in a community (or whatever else your hobby is). We're already struggling to fill content for relatively popular video games, for example, I've been subbed to the Deep Rock Galactic communities since day one but I've only ever seen like, two posts in those communities, ever, and both of them were within the past week. (I am well aware of the irony of myself, who has never posted content a day in his life, complaining about a lack of content - I'm more of a comments kind of guy, always have been. I won't go against my nature to post trash memes to communities that I want to see flourish. But I will vote up your trash memes if you want to post some.)

Point being, long story short, et al, etc. - Lemmy needs more users interested in posting more things than just memes and politics and Linux if we want to have an environment containing more than memes and politics and Linux. The future starts with YOU - and if not you then the next guy down the line, and so on until we run out of people with anything to say.

Anyway, I am quite stoned and must be on my way; my people need me. Adiós, amigo, until next time.

It really does evoke a sort of manic energy

Getting good quality cables can make a difference.

Getting gold-plated cables will not ever. I fucking see you Monster. For $40 a cable that thing better also come with a free handy and an ice cream.
