Here’s a weird one:

Don’t offer advice unless its something you have some experience with.

Googling someone’s issues and giving them a boilerplate answer from the first thing you find isn’t helpful and can actually be a hinderance more than anything.

La-a (Pronounced La-dash-ah) is the weirdest one I’ve seen

In my experiences, every time someone does something incredibly bold like that, they get mad their actions have consequences.

I think some people really just want a DM to roll with their shenanigans all the time.

I’ve played enough RimWorld to know I wouldn’t be totally ok in any of these scenarios.

All it takes is a random bug bite or infection and home meds just won’t be enough.

Yeah, probably.

Because of many factors, we’re seeing an erosion of the ‘third place’ which has been somewhat replaced or supplemented by the internet.

But now the internet is turning into a watchdog which desperately wants to monetize you, or direct you towards something that it can monetize.

Its hard to say while we’re in the middle of it, but I’m going to assume fifty years from now people will say we took privacy for granted and didn’t realize how influential algorithms really were.

This is going to become the new AAA normal, isn’t it.

I know a guy that took a security camera and hooked it up to watch his lawnmower, which is set to automatically mow a certain area as guided by the camera.

So he just hits a button and watches his lawn get mowed.

There’s a story about a man (Hennig Brand) who figured since pee was yellow, and gold was yellow, maybe if you boil urine down enough you can get the ‘gold’ out of it and make lots of stacks of cash.

Unfortunately this didn’t work, but it did yield a process to create phosphorous which ended up being a valuable chemical process, of which he sold to other alchemists at the time (Who in turn tried to figure out how to turn the new found phosphorous to gold).
