@Malavika I'm alright, how are you?

Czech Republic, central Europe

Czech

it's kinda similar to other slavic languages(Polish, Russian)

well, map of an island that's central to the story I'm writing)

there's a really good custom map making tool: azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator

I'm using that to map out the world

@Mithrandir24601 That's pretty cool.

Q: Why is SE removing links and community ads about legal issues?

@Bellerophon Yup

And it can only improve with time :)

Stack Exchange staff will actively remove links to a legal fund campaign from user profiles and posts, as well as community ads surrounding Monica's situation and reinstatement. Why?

@Shalvenay thanks :) summer... wasn't the greatest, so I haven't been as active - pretty much just keeping up modding and not much else

"What advantages would slow magic have over fast magic" There are 2 forms of magic in this world, the first of which is performed through a series of steps. A mage sits in the center of a drawn invocation circle, surrounded by the various ingredients needed to perform the spell. The mage then ut...

@Feeds We've had questions on slow/fast magic before... Somewhen...

you guys watch south park?

2 hours later…

4:22 PM

@FailusMaximus Only 1 episode ever, IIRC

2 hours later…

5:58 PM

@FailusMaximus I watched the early seasons..maybe 1-5 solidly.

6:28 PM

@James Apparently they have started finding their edge again. The one episode I saw was the recent one "Banned in China", and they didn't hold back on criticizing China or the American companies that are willing to give up all forms of morals or ethics to deal with China...

Saw a bit of "internet outrage" about the last one. I guess it was about trans athletes, and biological males competing directly against biological females in physical sports, and maybe that's not the best thing?

nah, it was a good episode

just a small minority of people are overly sensitive, and most of them are offended on behalf of someone else

6:45 PM

@FailusMaximus Statistically well educated urban white people. Most of whom are actually more racist than the people they are angry at.

my gf didn't see the episode yet, so if she does later, I'll ask her if that offended her

but knowing her, I'm almost sure not

The only people who seem to get offended by things like that are people who either (a) have no detectable senses of humor. (b) need to feel that they are the great white savior, standing up for the weak and defenseless POC's and other groups. (c) want everyone around them to see how great they are. Or (d) all of the above.

so, where's your badge, comrade

referencing an old czech joke from the communist era:
Two random men meet in front of the National theatre:
1: Do you know what difference there is between us and the National Theatre?
2: No.
1(points at western door): The National Theatre has escape to the West, while we still didn't.
2. Oh. And do you know what difference there's between the national theatre and you?
1. No.
2(takes out his secret police badge): The theatre will stay here, while you'll come along with me.
1: I see. Do you know what is the difference between you and me?

7:22 PM

@AndyD273 My cousin mentioned an arc they did maybe 2 seasons ago about PC culture that was apparently excellent.

you know that south park is free to watch, right?

@FailusMaximus Yeah its just a matter of you know...time at this point in my life.

I can understand that

7:39 PM

So, I just found a subreddit, called r/GamerGhazi, and it's...

@Mephistopheles A nice place filled with reasonable people clearly articulating complex scenarios and having a reasoned discussion on the difficulty of the human condition?

@James Yes, if it's backwards day.

well it rhymes with kamikaze

or maybe it doesn't

@FailusMaximus It reminds me of of Gaza... which is a good summary of its state. Funny though how all extremists are the "We live in a society" type. Some just aren't aware of it yet.

We're like 10+ movies in and the focus has been almost entirely on the WARS half.

@FailusMaximus Thankfully they don't have that much power yet, and there are signs that their religion is imploding. So that's good

Q: Could such self-sustaining bunker be built in WW2?

9:46 PM

Can you help me with fixing this question?

-5

In an alternate universe, Hitler hated Fegelein instead of minorities, and so, hadn't had them killed. However, in exchange for every person he didn't kill (directly or indirectly), his IQ decreased by 1. So, we have a babbling dummy in a bunker, who can't even find Berlin on a map, and the Sovie...

reality-check alternate-history engineering construction

It's gonna be hard to fix that one.

I mean for multiple reasons

First is that including non-genocidal 1940's Nazis in your setting almost stinks of Holocaust denial.

An alternative universe is the ALTERNATIVE universe of another

Reverse card!

I know, but believe me, you're not gonna get people who will want to help you with that question

I acknowledged holocaust's existence with that detail

especially, since your question is stated in a way that makes it sound like Hitler was the only nazi who wanted to exterminate minorities, which he wasn't

it was basically key point of Nazi ideology

second, question is needlessly confusing

if this wasn't public civil chat, I would tell you something about where you should put all your uno cards

and you wouldn't like it

9:53 PM

I guess I'll have some work to do
