I know it's a joke, but damn, there's a lot of people who started using it with a hard R for racist reasons

I'd say that I agree with them

Int - having knowledge Wis - knowing how to effectively use knowledge

Int is skill at accruing data Wis is skill at processing data into information

It's possible to be in a union at any level as long as you don't own the company

My manager though is only Team Level in a big fucking hydra, he's got like 8 levels above that

Edit: well, there's some unions that even let owners in, but less of them, and usually limit it to "only if the company has less than 500 employees and earns less than AMOUNT" (I dunno the number)

OpenScience is a thing, it's been around for like 30 years

Scientific research doesn't need a reason, that's why.

Coming up with reasons is the job of other people, scientific research is about seeing what's possible, what's not, and how difficult it is.

That's not true, you can still join a union, and you can always make a choice to disagree with your overlords

I'll have to tell my manager that he's going to have to leave the Tech Workers Union, damn, and he was enjoying being a member so much.

TL;DR - sponsored article disguising as an opinion piece, mentions briefly the many many problems with it, but ends with "I trust my corporate overlords to never use my data for evil"

https://2e.aonprd.com/Deities.aspx?ID=386&Redirected=1 gave me a character idea, but so far it's just a sentence long and I'd love ideas from y'all on how to add to it

A Divine (Angelic?) Sorcerer that believes in the Laws of Mortality, on a quest to get rid of the divine influence on their life. Bonus Archetype Wellspring Mage, from a failed previous attempt to get rid of the connection.

The fundamental principle behind the Laws is a relatively simple assertion that deific aid—even the best intentioned—ultimately comes at too high a price. The slaughter of fellow mortals for the glory of distant, unfathomable beings is not something that should be permitted within a society. Instead, mortal beings must shape their own fate, aware of their own limitations, trusting in their reliance upon one another and their shared values rather than divine intervention and guidance. The primary tenet of the Laws of Mortality sums up this philosophy: Let no mortal be beholden to a god.

The whole article is just too many words to say

And that therefore we still have to, in order to break down capitalism, prevent exploitation of the masses, on every possible front.

This includes the theft of work and wage from independent small time artists, to create AI slop

Something someone said about a pic they took was "this is a super vivid sunset" and I was like "sounds like a band name, maybe delete the first space"
