fedoras are bad, yeah, but occasionally you’ll find someone attractive enough to pull it off. a top hat, though? a top hat makes you look like a total asshole no matter who you are
say it to his face
well hey who wants to help me dig my own grave. i also need assistance carving out “HERE LIES A WRONG AND MASSIVE DUMBASS” on my tombstone so if someone could do that for me that’d be super
hey parents: there is literally no non-abusive reason a person would want the ability to read someone’s emails, track their location, and go through their calls and text messages without their knowledge or consent.
I want to address the person who tagged this “what if they’re missing??”
what
this does is allow you to set up a list of people who are able to
request your location. when they do so, you have five minutes to either
refuse or grant the request. if you don’t respond within five minutes,
the request is automatically accepted, in case you’re hurt or otherwise
unable to get to your phone. your trusted contacts can also see how
recently you used your device.
in other words: if someone
genuinely wants to know if you’re okay, they can check the app and see
that you’ve used your phone five minutes ago, and that can be the end of
it. if they want to be doubly sure, or it says you haven’t used your phone recently, they can request your location. if
you want them to know where you are, or you can’t answer, they’ll have
your exact location within five minutes. if you don’t want them to know
where you are, you click deny, and they still see that you got the
request and responded to it, meaning, again, they know you’re okay. this is safety with accountability: you can’t track someone’s location without their consent unless they fail to respond to the notification, and you can’t do it without them knowing about it.
if you want to track a friend or loved one for genuine safety reasons, set this up. it gives you all the access you need if your concern is actually for the other person’s well-being, rather than a desire for control. (it’s not out for iOS yet, but Google says that’s coming soon).
(also: don’t be the jackass that makes a rule that someone has to accept all your location requests because that makes you just as bad as the people who install tracking shit covertly.)
It’s not abusive in any way for a parent to want to know where their underage child is and who they’re talking to, and saying so is a foul misuse of the term “abuse”.
anyway like I said there is literally no non-abusive reason a person would want the ability to read someone’s emails, track their location, and go through their calls and text messages without their knowledge or consent
I’m glad you live in a world where adults don’t groom kids on the net, or by calling them or sending them text messages.
I live in this world:
a world where parents are an order of magnitude more dangerous to children than “adults grooming them on the internet”, and giving parents unchecked powers of surveillance is for that reason alone more likely to put kids at risk than to keep them safe.
I live in this world:
a world where the psychologically debilitating effects of surveillance are well-established and well-known, yet adults do everything in their power to invade young people’s privacy and then ask dumbass questions like “why are kids so anxious?” and come up with answers like “it’s probably because of selfies”
I live in this world:
a world where invasion of privacy is recognized as an integral part of emotional abuse, but parents still get away with it because “they’re just doing it to keep them safe uwu~”, despite the fact that this is the same line the goddamn NSA gives us and most of us don’t take that sack of lies from them.
tldr, I live in a world where you’re not just wrong, you’re promoting attitudes that are actively harmful and you need to sit down, shut up, and listen when people are trying to educate you about issues of justice and safety.
Someone send this to my mom lol.
Interesting.
My mother and younger sister (11-years-old) hacked into my social media account and read all of my conversations with trusted friends where I revealed pent up thoughts, frustrations, etc. They confronted me and the ensuing fall-out was so traumatizing I contemplated suicide for weeks. Now, I don’t trust anyone anymore, my paranoia has increased, and my relationship with my family has been strained ever since. Don’t fucking do it.
My super advanced mapmaking technique - a handful of dice makes the map nice
interesting method
My question is do the die affect topography any or just set the borders?
I imagine it’s up to the person making the map. But maybe the more dice in a single spot, the more mountainous or forested the area. Maybe choose a few dice to be deemed cities, and some dice for ruins.
Maybe let the dice choose, like a nat 20 would be the world capital, and 10’s would be mountains or something like that.
1-5: Plains and fields
6-8: Forests
9-11: Mountains
12-14: Tundras and snow covered lands
15-17: Farms and towns
18-19: Larger cities
20: Capitals and castles
what would happing if all the dice landed on a 20?
then you have a very busy continent
not all of those are d20s though, so you’d have to come up with another method for the other ones
Adjusted for all dice you might have
D20
1-5: Plains and fields
