The horror of Innsmouth isn't the fact that some people are really fish people. It isn't even that you might actually be a fish and not really a human. The horror is that the government might send submarines to shoot torpedoes into an undersea housing development because of racially proscriptive id...

Next random, and likely stupid idea: echo-chamber interaction penalties You have a vaguely shadowrun sort of setup with multiple axes: amount of cyberware, mana pool, degree of kung-fu mastery, etc. Each of these is an independent variable that counts up. There is no absolute limit, but you take pe...

Rules exist to: Resolve conflicts when not all players agree on what should happen. Create a stable reference with which to define a character's (PC or NPC) capabilities. Provide inspiration for characters and scenarios. Resolve scenarios in which the players have no idea what should happen. Keep fa...

1) The headcount at the start showed Team Clinton outnumbering Team Sanders. The headcount at the end showed Team Clinton outnumbering Team Sanders. Team Clinton outnumbered Team Sanders. The cellphone footage you recorded while standing in the middle of a bunch of Sanders supporters does not prove...

The government could just have tossed arbitrary amounts of money to keep Bear Sterns afloat. But they didn't, and a whole bunch of basically unrelated companies lost a ton of money as a result, plus it going under was the official signal that it was time to panic because lots of other major compani...

It's harder to coordinate if you have more entities you have to coordinate with. ... which makes it harder to regulate things. The recession wasn't caused by some grand conspiracy, it was caused by recklessness driven by small-scale greed and permitted by inadequate oversight. How would it be harde...

The Bernie quote you have, in the line before he says that he specifically wants to break up banks. In the line you have I read it as him just not giving specifics about how they should be broken up. Clearly he believes they should be forced to split and him saying that the company can decide what ...

If I were to base my opinion of what you just said off of what you quoted I would not come to the same conclusion. One of them thinks we should just trust the banks to handle breaking themselves up, the other isn't so sure. The latter also wants to assign some personal financial liability to the de...

Like, really, you quoted a post that explicitly describes why it is likely that stupid crazy democrats who should have been republicans for the last 40 years would vote for sanders, and as some sort of contradiction, you point out that some current republican used to be a crazy democrat? I was resp...

So, uh. Nestle literally uses slave labor. I don't even know what to say. Well, at least they're coming out and saying they don't like it and want it to stop.
