Well they have to make money somehow, right? I'm keeping an open mind, but I fully expect to keep using my Roll20 Pro account for the foreseeable future. It would take a very sweet deal indeed to get me to change platforms.

I've been to both places, and I didn't see a single person there. Sure there were roads and houses and stuff, but no actual people. It was spooky.

Oh dang.

I have a profound dislike for this decision, the people making it, and the reasons they give. That's the most polite response I can give, and it took a great deal of backspacing and retyping to muster it.

One of my classmates at university was furious when he got ticketed for DUI while riding his bike.

Q: "Hey CleverNick, do you believe in ghosts?" A: "Should I?" That's my stock answer for ghosts, aliens, North Dakotans, angels, sasquatch, and other cryptids.

That reminds me, I found an AI detection tool for browsers: https://detectly.xyz

"Ha! You trust mainstream dictionaries? LMAO" "Webster recanted on his deathbed!" "Yeah well I use the original 1831 dictionary, and it says..." I suspect the real reason why people argue about word definitions instead of just, you know, looking up the word and ending the argument right...

Don't people use the dictionary anymore? I've seen a couple of threads now with people arguing over the definition of a word... and I want to chime in and say "hey friends, the dictionary is right there."

Some of us do. I love a sweet potato curry.

Huh. I had never considered that angle before. There are some interesting parallels between the two.

(cocks rifle) Understood.

Interesting point. I hadn't considered this possibility, but it makes sense. Another cultural purpose could be as a child-rearing tool: spooky stories (including ghost stories) might help you convince your children to stay home, finish their chores, and not go wandering in the woods without an...

I just logged my 3,122nd hour in Stardew Valley.

That's as good of a definition as any, in my book. Knowledge and Belief aren't different in the sense of one being better than the other. Or to put it another way, knowing something isn't "more correct" than believing something. They are just two different ways of arriving at a conclusion...

"How could this happen? I mean, I wanted it to happen but it wasn't supposed to happen to ME!"

Faith is a type of belief, according to my professor. "Faith is just belief with extra steps," or something like that.

My favorite debunking story: In my philosophy class at university, the professor asked everyone in the room who believed in ghosts to raise their hand, and about a third of the people in the room did so. One student in particular was very adamant about it, and not only raised his hand but...
