Essentially, the solution will be a form of whitelisting. The mechanics are mutable. The free and open Internet is already dead, but the corpse hasn't been interred yet.
It works (tm). Sure, the books are poorly organized and not every situation is covered, but that is a strength, not a weakness. If some player decides to do something, you evaluate the chances using your head (remember that?) and roll the dice.
The Giants series is fun. Players are currently at the bottom of the Hall of the Fire Giant King killing trolls after routing the Drow. Soon, they will be heading into the (later titled) Underdark...searching for the Vault of the Drow. Homemade modules are still the best, though. Underneath Nulb, that nasty town where the Temple of Elemental Evil is located, a whole series of dungeons exists in my world. Its most powerful inhabitant is the lich Gehirn, who asks riddles - trading your life for his magical goodies.
A popular religion in the area is the worship of Goatse. The holy symbol is two hands clutching a ring. I believe that worship is popular here, too.
Anyway, anything that can keep adults in their 30s and 40s occupied once every two weeks and having fun is a good thing. Who needs 5e?
Plowing commentary into the miasma of the general public is tantamount to asking for ludicrous criticisms like this. All religion - whether the organized kind that made the world miserable when I was a kid and is now rather toothless, or the commonplace secular humanism of today - is a rote set of rules and propaganda that absolves people from actually thinking. Which is good, because most of the adherents lack the capability for critical thinking and are simply human cattle, marching along a path set by their masters that leads directly to the grave. Say a single thing that violates their catechism, and the knee jerk howls of indignant rage surprise you?
Yet supposedly intelligent people keep doing this, expecting minds to change or something.
I'm not going to watch the retarded shit anyway. I do think that video gaming nowadays should be lumped into regular sport, because it's the same kind of people who play the button mashing games anyway.
A game that required actual intelligence can hardly be found, never mind made into an Olympic sport.
I spent good portions of the last 7 years in Korea working the area for the Army. I know who is there. What we have is token opposition to the force in being that we are opposing. We're purposely set up many miles beyond the DMZ to avoid an incident short of actual war. That said, 2ID, the primary US ground force in Korea, has something like 15,000 effectives. It's even worse than it sounds when you say 29,500 - most of the rest are logistics related personnel. Lots of tail, limited teeth. The effectives are the people primarily at risk in the event of NK aggression, other than the Air Force pilots, who are very limited in number. The logistics tail will retreat as quick as they can to Daegu and then Busan, in the event of a NK breakthrough.
I did auto claims for several years in the early 90s. Your chances of survival in a vehicle crash where the mass of the opposing vehicles is much greater than your own is not good, regardless of the vehicle you drive.
That said, not afraid of being crushed in it. More afraid of fire. I have taken so many pictures of burn jobs where the outline of the corpse is clearly visible in the seat upholstery, and crunchy bits of flesh are still attached around the edges.
The US force is a tripwire to draw the US into the conflict. That's why we are there. The US force is tiny and not sufficient to do anything useful except get overwhelmed. But when US bodies start showing up on newscasts, the DPRK is toast
Agree. I bought a cheap house and my nut every month is about 1/4 of my net - including the car. I drive a little Kia. Having the rest to play with and save is really nice. When I see people driving around their land yachts and living in much larger houses filled with unfurnished rooms, I pity them. A little.
This all misses the point. The way most illegal immigrants come into and stay in the US is not by sneaking through the desert. It's by passing in on a tourist visa and then just not leaving.
Figure out a way to fix that problem that doesn't involve house to house searching and random checkpoints, and you get a gold star.
In the US, urban areas were ruled out by most whites as a result of the riots of the late 1960s and the subsequent white flight. It has nothing to do with zoning laws and everything to do with pants shitting as a result of armies of black people coming to their cities and waging war against police barricades. After that, everyone who could packed up and left for the suburbs, sensing that life preservation was more important than the old neighborhood. You couldn't talk most of them into ever coming back after that.
If you don't know that this happened, your education was affected by politics.
yes, those with mod points do suck. I've been refusing to mod for almost 15 years now, due to the suckage. The points were useless if all I was able to do was to undo a little bit of the damage by the abject retards who use every mod point as "I agree" or "I disagree".
Do you believe we aren't? More illusory thinking. When I was a child in the 70s, we weren't. There were dark forces, but the country was essentially free. This is no longer the case.
I'd even have sympathy for this argument if it were anything but ignorant of how the world works.
If the government wants you to have something injected into your body for a public health reason, laws already exist requiring quarantine and treatment. What this means is that in practice, people with guns will come in moon suits and escort you away to be dealt with as they please.
The only illusion here is your illusion that you have a choice.

60% of the language is based on Latin roots.

I mean, who wouldn't want to do business with this guy?

They were convinced they were doing us a favor with those prompts, too. Idiots.
This deserves an upmod badly :-)
Instead of killing him...have about 50 guys shooting a load on him in a kiddie pool. Cinema gold.

The fact that the system was engineered to rely on root name servers does not mean that that is the only way it could have been, or can be engineered.
In any event, naysayers like you have a very poor track record on predictions.
I apologize for the pedantry, but the GP is correct, the conclusion of the line was "and your chicks for free".
If they break DNS, we'll just move to a shadow system, whether based on hosts or just another flavor of DNS.
Fuck them.

The anthropic principle is the most unsatisfying explanation, ever. ;-)
Talk about lobbing in a Godwin under the radar. Touche!
