  • Just give us the book. Why is “The Druid” a live event that I have to tune in for? I don’t need some fake-enthusiastic guy in a graphic tee trying to hype up the Wizard class. We know what that is, just get on with it. Is anyone who isn’t already on board with 6e going to be swayed by this stuff?

    This all reeks of AAA gaming promotion. They are trying to get that E3 Hype for a ttrpg, and you can feel the season passes and microtransactions being tinkered with in Beyond.


  • I rather enjoyed it, but I don’t know how any of the recent films are going to come together to create an engaging Avengers film. There really hasn’t been a good unifying story that they have been building to. They keep throwing in references to future movies at the end of each film/show, but they all just seem to be hype for new characters that most people have to go to a screen junkies article to get an explanation for.

    I don’t feel like Kang has been properly built up, because he has appeared several times already, posed little actual threat, and even got defeated one time by Ant-Man, who is essentially comic-relief in any ensemble affair. There’s also the casting issue.

    I have seen every MCU film in cinema, and have enjoyed them all in their own way, despite the visceral glee the internet has in tearing them apart. But I don’t feel any excitement in hearing about Avengers 5. Because I don’t know what it is.



  • The scientific community is meant to be skeptical. If we wholeheartedly adopted every claim an instagrammer made online, we’d all be dead of covid or tide pod poisoning.

    The only evidence we see of Bunny’s knowledge is what’s presented on their social media accounts. As noted in the article by a scientist, we are more likely to latch on to the one time a button press has meaning and disregard the nine that don’t. All we see of Bunny is the wins, so it’s really not scientific evidence of intelligence.

    I will admit that what Bunny presents is compelling stuff, but there is no scientific rigour involved with the claims.

    I’ve seen other dogs with buttons whose owners claim intelligence, but their buttons are for things like ‘walk’, ‘food’, ‘play’, and ‘love’. The dog could press any of those buttons and expect to receive a good outcome. Of course it’s going to feel like communication when the dog hits “play”, and is happy when you play with it.




  • This article reads like a person who thinks they have found the answer, but is still so woefully uninformed.

    The doctor didn’t tell you about the social media apps that your kid was using? It’s not their fault you were inattentive.

    They took their daughter’s phone away twice due to mental health issues, and the plan is to play soccer with her until high school and then give her back the phone. My sibling in Christ, you’ve done nothing to scaffold and support your child’s health after these incidents, but sure, drop her in the deep end with her addictions and mental issues as she enters high school. I’m sure those kids are mature enough to not cause the same problems tenfold.

    The sad fact is that we live in a world that requires the use of technology. In some countries, ICT Capability is a priority across the high school curriculum. Taking the phone away makes her act like your idea of a kid again, sure, but at some point she is going to need to use a phone or a computer or a tablet without you breathing down her neck. We need to be educating our children on safe practices, not taking their phones away and proclaiming to have solved the problem.

    It’s like abstinence only sexual education.

    I have never related to something more.

    I hate the way that I hate.

    I just can’t fathom how some people can be so oblivious and inconsiderate to others, sometimes to the point of danger.

    I don’t have a remedy or fix apart from letting you know that you aren’t alone.
