Why was writing invented so few times throughout history? (self.linguistics)
submitted 1 year ago by Kaladin_Stormblessed to c/linguistics@lemmy.ml

From what I’ve seen, writing was independently invented somewhere between 3 to 6 times. With so many languages and linguistic communities, why have so few independently invented writing?

Who the fuck cares if someone isn’t into trans people? We’ve heard it a million times. It’s transphobic because 9 times out of 10, the person saying it isn’t just neutrally expressing a presence they happen to have; they’re saying it because it’s a more socially acceptable way to talk about how disgusting they find our bodies.

Here’s another one: Capitalists want to pay their workers as little as they can get away with. But they want workers to spend as much money on their products as possible.

So any given capitalist will underpay their own workers for short-term profit and expect workers to spend extra money on their products. But those workers’ employers do the same thing, so those workers don’t have enough spending money left over to buy their products. At a large scale, this is not a sustainable system.

No more than one level in any class; can you make it work? (self.3d6)

Note that this is subtly different from the “one level in every class” thing; this is about taking your levels one at a time, starting from level 1, rather than a fully-finished level 13 concept.

Could this be at all viable? What order would you go with?

Is it just me, or is the ranger capstone still fairly underwhelming? (self.onednd)

Like, I know it’s better that it was, and it’s probably quite strong mathematically. But… just getting to add extra to your attack and damage rolls doesn’t feel very cool flavor-wise or mechanics-wise. I’m a 20th level character; I want a power that makes me feel like some kind of demigod. Not something that just makes number go up.

I think it stems from a lack of class identity in the base ranger: nobody, least of all WotC, can quite decide what it should be. If your idea of the ranger is focused on having a pet, then an ability that helps with fighting monsters isn’t very good. But if you are a monster hunter, then something that boosts companion animals is useless.

So what’s the solution? Given that so much of the ranger’s identity comes from the subclass, I think the ranger should take a page from the paladin’s book (er, chapter) and make the capstone ability a subclass feature.

[Writing Prompt] You are a minor character in the protagonist's story; you showed up once, and now you're forgotten. But you've had enough; it's time to make a name for yourself, literally. (self.writing)

(I haven't seen any writing prompts on here so far, so I figured I'd write the first one!)

Long post about lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml by Kaladin_Stormblessed in c/main
[-] Kaladin_Stormblessed 14 points 2 years ago

I'm not convinced Lemmygrad reaches the qualifications to be defederated by that standard, though. I don't agree with them politically on a lot of things (besides being anti-capitalism), but I read it from time to time to expose myself to alternate viewpoints, and I haven't seen any bigotry there. On a quick scroll, the first thread I can find about LGBTQ+ stuff, for example, is quite supportive. I think I'm missing something, in which case, please let me know!

I disagree. I think that we should only defederate instances that are actively bigoted.

I realized my parent sim was going to die before his child grew up, so I had him build a Servo to become the child's new caretaker after his death.

I'm not asking the most powerful, but your personal favorite. Mine is Bigby's Hand; it's hilarious and I love it. (And since Mage Hand isn't concentration, you can have them both active at the same time and make them high-five!)
