    Dorgan was a body builder and suggested he was taking both testosterone and estrogen
    Dorgan’s social-media history also contains repeated expressions of violent ideation. “All my Roid-Rages came from Testosterone, not my Estrogen oddly enough,” he wrote. “when Im misgendered, I politely whisper through clenched teeth, ‘Honey don’t make me break a nail knocking your teeth out!’”
    In another post from 2018, he declared: “I could build a wall with the skulls of everyone who calls me ‘SIR’!”



    That is why I believe that the medical transition (castration) is far more important than the social transition.
    No testosterone -> lower propensity for violence and the ability to perpetrate it.

    Youtube has managed to detect ublock origin and now all videos give "this content isn't available try again later" error

    Yet Brave still works for some reason. Brave also hides the annoying "accept these cookies" the sites are forced to show due to EU law.

    Still surprising youtube suddenly decided to seriously go after the adblocker users.

    Russian "Crackers"
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_(cracker)

    >Empress is known around the P2P scene for her "extremely opinionated" notes she supplies in the NFOs of her releases. For example, the information file supplied with the cracked version of Hogwarts Legacy expressed dissatisfaction with what was described as the "woke system" of today, defending Harry Potter series creator J.K. Rowling's views on transgender people.[10]

    And yes, these cracks will also get you an FSB backdoor for free.

    Lego Minifigure Prices
    The minifigures cost the most of all the plastic, due to the prints.
    Usually these retail 5 euro per minifigure.

    Yet a few minis like the dragonborn paladin and the tournament knight get bought by some crazy people en masses.
    So their price quickly rises to 20-40 euros.



    While other, like the generic goblin, can still be bought for 5 euros, despite being out of print.
    That is strange, since in D&D play you need just single dragonborn in this color.
    But people may need a 3-6 goblins in different colors and outfits for NPCs.

    Apparent some schizoids buy like 100 identical dragonborns, replacing heads, to create an army of 100 uniform soldiers.
    These same people buy the big ugly gray castles sets for 500-1000 euros.
    And they never get enough. The castle have to be bigger, and the soldiers should go over 9000.

    Guess there is some profound sublimation going on.
    These same people getting real life power will dress everyone as soldiers.

    Anyway, resellers also buy soldier-ready minifigs for 5, hoping to sell for 30 a few years later.

    TLDR: Nancy can't afford the dragonborn, because of lego Putins.

    Why I don't have minifigures
    Not really: these are expensive, being now replaced by color printers and need dedicated building with good ventilation. Even airbrushing is complicated, since I have to wait for the weather. Then again, I think I will be using LEGO for DnD, just because designing / crafting is so easy, although the difficulty moves into pieces organizing and the minifigs cost as much as the DnD ones, but well they are factory painted and very durable.

    Even with the color 3d printer the process is lengthy: you have to go through 3d editing, painting, printing and assembling, hoping the printer wont jam. In any case, I prefer injection molded plastic (it is durable and has no layer lines), but it can't be cheaply made at home, so you have to track down the official miniature releases, which can be costly, especially for the nicer looking ones.

    And then the realistic 3d printed miniatures conflict with the nature of D&D, where you need vague tokens, not the exact art pieces. Lego's more abstract minifigures and terrain allows for wider interpretation and matching the context seamlessly. And they naturally stick to the terrain without magnets or mounting putty, while surviving being roughly thrown into a storage box after the game.

    But yeah, I love the proper D&D miniatures, but mostly as collector / display pieces. The crafting hobby also teaches you to be fast and resourceful, doing wonders with stapler and cardboard, while gluing printed stickers on top for the texture.

    Apparently Amazon published a short D&D episode on the Tiamat campaign
    https://secretlevel.watch/season-1/secret-level-1-sezon-1-seriya/

    Yet the Forgotten Realms show is being made by Netflix, hopefully by the Stranger Things team, which is familiar with the material.

    Still no idea why the Tiamat campaign, which is purely tabletop and never appeared in video games, compared to Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate, while the rest of the show is based of video games. Unless you consider the obsolete Dragonlance to be the Tiamat campaign. Dragonlance indeed had a lot of video games and cartoon, but was rather shallow before they remade it into the modern Forgotten Realms campaign.

    Kre-O D&D
    Apparently long before the 2024 Lego D&D release, there was official Hasbro's D&D Lego compatible release, called Kre-O D&D:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMMbLIol9tg

    It was short-lived, but featured a classic Forgotten Realms characters.
    And it came with simple ballistics board game rules.
    Compared to more neutral Lego the design is a bit animeish.
    But Hasbro had another extra chibi minifig variation, which I think is block size compatible.
    Unfortunately nowadays it is a collector thing, going for 50 euro per small set.
    And and it was also never available in Europe, so ebay is the only source with exorbitant shipment and import fees.

    https://kreo.fandom.com/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons
    The Dungeons and Dragons line adds a new play element to Kre-O construction sets by including rules for competitive gameplay, featuring the kreons, missile or ball-launching weapons, and included Character Cards and Challenge Cards.

    Why should you own your soul?
    A child died from cancer. Some nasty perverted obese porn obsessed bald man sitting in his basement seen the grieving instagram post, and scrapped all the photos and videos featuring this child to create a comprehensive model, which he embedded into a child sized robotic sex doll. Assume the technology advanced so much, that on the surface level this doll behavior is indiscernible (even to parents) from the deceased child. How can this be interpreted? African natives in 20th century were afraid of cameras, claiming this white invention steals their souls, and they weren't far off.

    I think the solution should be simple: just allow people to sell their souls or the souls of their children, assuming a reasonable default value. That can include lease agreements too. Now Russians will be able to rent their Gagarin, or whatever the contaminated remains left of him, to the African niggers, who need a black astronaut. Because your souls is just an object, subject to financial transactions, but most souls have little value or their value is negative.

    100 euro lego castle
    The https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-poolside-paradise-set-6416 I had as a child had just 229 pieces in a few basic colors, NPCs with basic prints and a stupid looking car. Everything was placed on a big base. And the palm was premolded. It costed around 100 euro in today's money.

    Nowadays 100 euro will get you 1371 pieces of Lego, a 3 fat build instruction books, each having alternate build. NPCs come with capes. Even the horses are constructed from basic pieces, which now come in nicer color palette. The castle is completely modular, the gates, the towers and the levels easily. detach and turn into separate entities. Which is useful for D&D.

    Alternate builds turn the castle into a medieval town, and the knights into townsfolks.

    But yeah, I can see an ADHD child struggling to assemble it, given the number of small easily lost pieces, and the CAD software style modelling.

    On the Remarkable Efficiency of Modern Outrage
    It has become customary to attribute the current state of public discourse to technology, as if recommendation algorithms were some alien intrusion rather than the perfectly obedient servants they are. This explanation is comforting, because it absolves us of responsibility. Unfortunately, it is also false. The machines are not the cause; they are merely diligent interns, executing with inhuman consistency the instructions supplied by human pride.

    The contemporary YouTube reviewer provides a convenient specimen. Ostensibly engaged in “reviewing,” he is in fact performing a ritualized expression of grievance. The product before him is rarely evaluated on its own terms; instead, it is measured against an internal, sacred reference model—usually a childhood memory, conveniently immune to factual scrutiny. When the product fails to resurrect this memory in full fidelity, outrage follows. This outrage is then labeled “honesty,” thereby converting emotional disappointment into moral virtue.

    Here pride enters decisively. The reviewer does not say, “This is not for me,” which would be both accurate and terminally boring. He says, “This should have been made for me, and its failure to do so constitutes an error.” The universe, having once again failed to consult him, is declared deficient. This maneuver is important: it allows subjective preference to masquerade as objective judgment, and wounded nostalgia to present itself as consumer advocacy.

    The audience, far from resisting this performance, rewards it. Pride, after all, is contagious. Viewers do not primarily seek information; they seek validation of their own irritation. The reviewer obligingly supplies it, accompanied by thumbnails featuring exaggerated facial expressions that would alarm a physician. The resulting feedback loop is elegant: anger drives engagement, engagement drives visibility, and visibility retroactively justifies the anger. Calm analysis, producing neither dopamine nor tribal affiliation, is quietly filtered out as an unprofitable anomaly.

    At this point, commerce enters the scene, pretending to be scandalized while taking meticulous notes. Manufacturers learn that outrage is not a threat but a marketing channel. A product denounced with sufficient fervor will sell out faster than one praised politely, because indignation creates urgency and pride forbids patience. Scalpers, those minor entrepreneurs of resentment, simply monetize the predictable inability of proud adults to wait six months for a reprint. The resulting shortages are then cited as further evidence of systemic injustice, completing the circle.

    The system does not stop at selling toys. Once trained, the outrage reflex proves remarkably versatile. The same individuals who learned to experience personal insult when the same product lacks a childhood feature can be induced to feel existential threat when a political slogan fails to flatter their identity. The skillset transfers cleanly: indignation without analysis, certainty without evidence, loyalty without comprehension. Thus are formed what might politely be called “communities” and less politely called armies of useful idiots—people whose pride has rendered them exquisitely predictable and therefore trivial to mobilize.

    It would be comforting to believe that someone is orchestrating all of this with genius foresight. The reality is more dispiriting. No grand intelligence is required when pride reliably does the work. Angry people click more. Proud people share faster. Offended people do not ask whether they are being manipulated, because doing so would require admitting fallibility, which pride cannot tolerate. The system persists not because it is imposed, but because it is eagerly maintained by its participants.

    The final irony is that many of these individuals sincerely believe they are resisting corruption, defending quality, or speaking truth to power. In practice, they have constructed an environment optimized for their own misery: perpetual outrage, endless enemies, constant disappointment. Having demanded a world that revolves around their feelings, they find themselves trapped in a universe that reflects only their anger back at them.

    One might summarize the situation as follows: by insisting that reality conform to their pride, people have succeeded only in engineering a reality that punishes them for it. The algorithms did not build this hell; they merely automated it.
