    Morality of mind control…

    I would still be interested in seeing that cite, specifically. You read it 23 years ago? I am not doubting your memory but I'd love to see that definition. It's important to realise that the terms 'assault' and 'poison', as used in this post, aren't in the same category and can't be mixed like...

    Morality of mind control…

    The definition of 'poison' is totally a sidetrack, and I regret saying the word as it's turning into a threadjack. That said, I am still interested in the source of this definition. You say you're doctor, and you 'work with' this definition every day. No definition I've seen of it involves...

    Paizo Ends Pathfinder Adventure Path Softcovers, Switching to Quarterly Model

    But... it costs less. What if they took the same amount as before monthly and then sent you the hardcover quarterly? Would you be more comfortable with that? Because I imagine they could do that if there was a demand for it. Continue to charge $90 per AP, charged monthly, rather than $80...

    Morality of mind control…

    So if I tell you I want you to poison me to death with a bottle of poison marked with a skull and crossbones which contains poison and has a label on it saying 'poison', and you do so, it isn't poison? But if you feed me cake without my consent it is a poison? Nicotine, consensually smoked in a...

    Morality of mind control…

    But that isn’t the definition of it. It’s just your definition of it. It makes no sense—if I agree to mind control, it’s not mind control? If I agree to be poisoned it’s not poison? If I agree to a nice cake it’s not a nice cake? My wanting it or not doesn’t redefine reality.

    Morality of mind control…

    Sure, but somebody with a sharp thing could make you feel just as bad for just as long. Both are tools; we can posit scenarios where either one is worse ad infinitum.

    US Tariffs: $80-$200 Surcharge On All Packages Regardless of Price

    It’s been pretty major news for the last week (and discussed in this thread). Yes, many countries’ postal services have stopped sending packages to the US.

    Star Trek United

    But... it wasn't. It was full of action. Waaaay too much action for those old people to pull off convincingly.

    Morality of mind control…

    Is it more evil than killing someone? We don't have qualms about that in D&D. I'd certainly rather somebody did a jedi mind trick on me than stabbed me in a face with a big sharp pointy thing.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I really think they have a massive budget problem and it shows. No extras, few additional sets... just the core cast in the handful of (gorgeous) Enterprise sets they have already set up.

    I'm starting to think so too. 'Crew beams down to an alien planet and has an adventure' is becoming a rarity.

    Yes, I got that. You were clear.

    It's just doing a Braveheart. If you are comfortable with the Braveheart approach to history, you'll be fine with this. If you aren't, then you'll have the same problems with this that you'd have with Braveheart. It just comes down to what you're looking for in a a quasi-historical show. I very...
