Hi

The other problem is that I was friends with enough people in college who went on to be hacktivists that my knee-jerk reaction to anybody trying to impose restrictions on distributing software (or information of any kind) is to start yelling "INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREE" and "FREE AS IN FREEDOM" and I'm aware that this is not universally 100% always the best idea. However.

"Fable 5 is too dangerous to release without guardrails" okay but have you considered that Zero Cool crashed fifteen hundred and seven computers in one day, biggest crash in history, front page New York Times, August 10th, 1988?

the only way to stop a bad guy with a basilisk is a good guy with a basilisk

we've sent 2,500 senior dogs to a six week Javascript bootcamp using the funds we raised from our ransomware operation. and that's just the beginning. starting next month every fruit will be different

NO! Where’s the non-metals and metaloids?!

are they hydrogen or helium

oxygen, carbon, sulfur, xenon, iodine, neon, etc etc.

ooo okay i see the confusion. you're listing off a bunch of metals there

…. You’re breaking my chemistry nerd brain. Hhhuuuhhhh???

im an astrophysicist

but but, science is science?!

and different fields of science have different conventions and definitions for their unique contexts

trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing

“It’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing” I’m in love

Genuinely didn’t know that, but you are correct

my mom once told me i was a ski jumper in a past life because she dreamed about a ski jumper dying in a terrible accident when she was pregnant with me, and said it was definitely true cause the ski jumper in her dream was also blonde. i never had the heart to tell her this is absolutely not something catholics can believe.

If you were really my friend you’d do this highly unethical experimental surgery on me

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

group of wizards who ask this in-universe, and after extensive study learn to their surprise that animals are casting spells all the time, just that their magic is so fundamental as to be unrecognizable to humans. turns out the only reason acorns grow on trees is because squirrels keep wishing for them.

When a species becomes extinct humans have to figure out what kind of magic they were doing to keep the ecosystem from becoming out of balance

Delivered in discreet packaging my ass.
