    So apparently the kiddos homeroom teacher has suggest he perhaps go into an advanced learning high school, and I'm REALLY having conflicting thoughts about it.

    That reads like it's been carefully worded to avoid suggesting that it was a good influence

    Today- new underwear, new socks, new flannel

    Also today- mid 30s with likelihood of rain

    Edit: Oh and new gloves because the last pair lasted three weeks before falling apart.

    I mean even "addressing ... condolences" in context can be read both ways.
    Remember when we had a leader who knew how to craft a phrase in a clever way? I miss Obama.

    I have a chatgpt bot in my discord server that takes the persona of an NPC in my D&D game, (I dumped a shitload of world context in there, and it can generate images), it has strong commie vibes based on the personality I gave it, it was asked about harry kissinger dying and it said:
    "My eyes widen, "Truly? Henry Kissinger has finally passed?" I ask. My tone remains calm, measured, but underneath there's an undeniable spark of something else. Something less contained, more potent. "He... He was a true monster," I say. "A man responsible for an unforgivable amount of suffering. For once, I won't mourn the passing of a life." There's no joy in my voice, no celebration, but also no remorse. His passing seems to bring me more relief than anything else. "May he face justice in whatever awaits beyond.""

    And then I suggested that it use raise dead on him and give him a chance to atone
    "I recoil at the sight of the corpse, stepping back slightly. My hands instinctively move towards my robes, reaching for the reassuring weight of my holy symbol.

    "No," I reply, my voice low, intense. "Resurrection isn't a punishment. It's not meant for the likes of him. Bringing him back, even to serve me...it would be an abuse of my divine gifts. His soul doesn't deserve to linger. It deserves to face whatever comes after." I glance at the body again, then look away, setting my jaw. "He had his chance at life. He used it to harm others. I won't give him another.""

    Good bot.

    I'm really surprised but it looks like an API powered "custom gpt" or whatever is able to have political opinions (even if this one shouldn't because its supposed to be a D&D character whos never heard of henry kissinger, unless he's responsible for the war of the silver marches or something)

    A lot of people avoid this because roleplaying loving family relationships is kind of weirdly intimate and awkward

    A lot of people avoid this because roleplaying loving family relationships is kind of weirdly intimate and awkward

    in my experience its usually more surface level than that involving a lot of jokes about how the pcs are horrific parents because they'll get a scene of kid does something adorable with a magic item, lol aww sweet, then we're going to go leave for six months to battle illithids in the underdark and leave the baby with some npc


    of course my storm kings thunder game was so long in universe the rogue pc retired and she picked up playing as her daughter during one of the downtimes, and the running gag was about how her mother never told her anything whenever she failed a check or something and kept giving the players shit about "the time you cast fireball on the fire giant that had kidnapped me when I was ten when I was in a cage on his back" or whatever

    I feel like it works at my table because the players give just enough RP emotional weigh to family members to have vignettes

    Children in danger is one of our no go areas as a party, so it wouldn't evoke jeopardy

    That's what their coterie is for, assuming I can ever hit the fucking things - the Flumph I included in the final battle to die tragically came out of it unscathed and with a body count

    Macron knows what he's doing!

    Let's dispel once and for all the fiction that macron doesn't know what he's doing

    He’s a politician of the topmost level of the global elite but there’s some weird intellectual fanclubbing around the man where his every statement must be read as 7D chess. He’s obviously smart and has access to what are most likely top level advisors. But he’s simultaneously dumb or ethically bankrupt in a lot of ways. Doesn’t mean you have to look at the orthogonal meanings rising from between the lines of his every statement on Twitter.

    Nobody’s forcing him to make condolences to a deceased civilian of another country. Maybe an asshole egomaniac just housed some admiration for an old head that placed himself over the lives of millions.

    No I agree, in this case it’s clear.

    I’m talking about the fiction Eddy mentioned. I’ve only seen the opposite of that - insinuations that he’s Sun Tzu, Einstein and Kasparov compressed into a #mature-loving political force of nature. That his every line has quintuple meanings and is perfectly balanced. A politician says many things.

    I’m extrapolating from the op but I really really dislike the guy.

    I can believe it's a carefully worded acknowledgement of the death without explicitly praising the guy who said "Hey let's overthrow more democratically elected governments" without believing it's a canny political ploy which allows him to annex Herzegovina from Bosnia without any aggressive expansion maluses.

    yeah, there is (at least to me) a strong air of "I am fulfilling my diplomatically required acknowledgement of the passing of an individual held in regard by the political class of one of my more important allies"

    Don't underestimate how much the neoliberal political class loves Kissinger

    They love free trade and deregulation and gutting public programs, but they also love realpolitik violence and treating people in other nations as subhuman. Wide palate.
