“What do you mean you don’t put a miniature explosion spell in your gun?” “What do you mean you don’t use gunpowder-based propellant for your gun?”
Amen sister.
My mom felt that it was was very important for all of us to learn all the tasks for living for (at least) three reasons. 1. So we would could live on our own and not be pressed in to getting into a relationship because of life skills. (Go ahead and laugh but I have actually heard of many people having this problem) 2. When we do get married we would be prepared to overlap with our spouse. 3. So we would be prepared to run our married life if our spouse is sick of laid up or something (Mom often pointed out how in a story that one person would struggle because the skills were divided by gender [even funnier is when it was a different culture]).
They really went off with "Get married so you can divide all the important tasks of staying alive with another person."
They really tripped up with, "but we're going to assign all those tasks by gender instead of skill."
History is weirder than we remember.
I can't stop thinking about historically accurate european armor helmets
how did this happen
just found the most fascinating anti-ai person who is only anti-ai because they make and sell the software that spambots USED to use to flood the internet with low quality SEO-bait garbage and chatgpt is putting them out of business. what a fascinating category of human to be. i had never even considered that someone had to be actually making the spambots and that they have feelings too.
Two people meet at a bar. One thinks they’re being hit on. The other is a spy and thinks they’re meeting with a contact. Misunderstandings ensue.
Their cells are literally slowly burning, they sustain themselves on a corrosive liquid, and they ingest poisons and toxins for fun, no to mention they can become several times stronger under stress. So no, we are **NOT** going to the human planet.

From abbydawn3. Kings in past claimed to possess divine powers to justify their insane riches and authority to their masses. Billionaires repeat the same tactic and after they die , their successors use elaborate deepfake AI and holograms( which btw are so advanced by this point that people cannot basically detect them from naked eye) to assert power and dominance. The fear of unknown power they hold makes masses give in to their authority.
The year is 2050. Warren Buffet, at 120 years old, is still running his company. Bezos has a full head of hair. No billionaire has died since 2032. It came about slowly, but people are starting to realize something isn’t right.
We helped quite a few guys with Super Strength get into the construction business. I know this one Veterinarian who can speak with animals. Not everyone with superpowers wants to be out there fighting crime or robbing banks. That’s where our Job Placement Agency comes in.
