- Comment on I started playing WH40k Rogue Trader and I'm digging it, but I know virtually nothing of Warhammer. Any super basic world info I should know going in? 6 days ago:
Can’t believe nobody has said why The Warp exists - or rather why it overlaps with and breaks into our reality.
Warhammer has Space Elves - the Eldar/Aeldari. Powerful psykers. Millennia ago they got so kinky and on so many drugs they fucked a hole in reality itself, a hole that promptly engulfed their homeworld and sent them on an endless exodus in their Worldships. They were such powerful psychics their sexcapades also manifested demons and the Chaos Gods from the formless energies of The Warp.
The ones that renounced their horny ways became the Eldar, the ones who didn’t became the Dark Eldar who are still really into leather and chains.
This isn’t super relevant to the story of the game, I just really like this bit of the lore. It reads like a joke: “Why’s the universe so jacked up? Fuckin’ space elves…”

Yikes. Hadn’t heard about the openclaw use. That stack scares the bejeezus out of me.

Precisely this, yes, well said. We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, one way or another.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I know the answer to this one. It’s because we don’t have single-payer healthcare, which Republicans don’t want because they don’t want bureaucratic death panels of disconnected doctors denying people access to medication.
They’d much prefer to have bureaucratic death panels entirely disconnected from any medical expertise denying people access to their medication and for spurious reasons.
