    Israel is making demands? I'm so sick of our government letting this rabid dog bite the hand that feeds it. It's well past time for us to give them the shock collar.

    I'm pro choice but also anti-death penalty, but only because if someone is horrible enough to deserve it then they don't deserve death, because death is the easy way out of suffering. They deserve to live long, miserable lives in a 3-meter cell.

    Remember that a horrifying number of people, especially conservatives, are invaluable of caring about - or even noticing - any problem that doesn't personally impact themselves.

    There's a raccoon that hangs out in the trees just outside my apartment and chitters at anyone nearby. I call him Frank.

    I know I've certainly never been less terrified. Especially regarding a certain idiotic orange domestic terrorist.

    I'd sign his inane and meaningless petition for $1 million. It's not even really a petition. It just says "The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments." Yeah dude, I know. I can read. Unfortunately I don't live in a battleground state. Fortunately I live in a blue state. Unfortunately I now live close enough to the border that I get political ads for a state I don't even fucking live in.

    No. It should be though. To be fair though a lot does get donated, just not enough. It doesn't help that the "best by" date system is often inaccurate and somewhat arbitrary.

    What it says in the title. Illinois With few exceptions, Chicago and it's county, (Cook) and the surrounding (collar) counties _are_ Illinois, as far as most of us are concerned (especially including good food, presidential elections and tax income). We're objectively better than NY. Chicago holds the importance, due to being the main freight hub in the country, that once upon a time belonged to New Orleans. However the advent of railroad stripped that title away from New Orleans, relegating it and thus Louisiana to shadows of their former selves.

    Serious question. I only have the one car. I know there are people with more money than sense that have more cars than they can actually drive at a time, and that there are couples who may or may not be able to drive their SO to the mechanic. But how can they _assumef that I can even afford a cab, well Uber these days, when I'm about to have them hundreds of dollars getting my busted-ass, POS car fixed?

    So I've figured out, thanks to the Vertical Slabs mod, how to finally interpret grid-based dungeon layouts into Minecraft pretty faithfully. I decided to therefore build an interpretation of this monster, [The World's Largest Dungeon](https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/11/11913.phtml) by AEG. I've thusfar completed 3 out of 16 sections and thought I might stream progress. I'm not a streamer but it's a _lot_ of work to build this monster, and thought somebody might find it interesting. I've also already built some maps and templates from some dungeon crawl board games, and want to make more stuff later. What can I say, I like dungeon maps. My plan is to finish, then go through and tidy up anything I may have missed, fix and standardize a few things, fill out some of the rooms, and then upload the thing for people to download for free use. The pieces are fairly easy to copy out and modify. I'm predominately (for floors and walls) using the same few piece types and the only mod required is [Extended Slabs +](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/extended-slabs-plus) which does require Forge. Without that mod the entire thing breaks. As an aside, part of why I'm doing this is to stick it to Mojang. The *official* reason they say they won't include vertical slabs is that they will "inhibit natural creativity" That is complete and utter BS. A close look at this map's tight corners, any uneven surfaces, statues, block-built furniture, are ample proof, not to mention that in all the years since beta that I've tried to adapt grid maps accurately, the lack of thin wall pieces has made it impossible. It's also been suggested that similar games (which are mostly if not entirely all defunct now) already have them and they'd make Minecraft not unique blah blah blah). As for "official" vertical slabs, there is one on the marketplace for 660 coins. NOPE, not paying for it. So here's my _polite_ response to Mojang's terrible, terrible excuse. ***More variety is always more good.***

    Trap: Chest in the bottom of a pool covered in magma blocks for the whirlpool effect. The chest is unreachable from the dry floor, and the pool past this deeper pit has flowing water to shove you down if you forget to crouch. There's a space where you can swim up. I've largely kept the map loot free because I plan to upload it eventually for people to use. From a Creative map I've started recently that I'm building dungeons in - namely translating p&p dungeon maps into Minecraft using a [Vertical Slabs mod](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/extended-slabs-plus) (because it's the best solution AND to give the middle finger to Mojang for not adding them in vanilla because "it limits creativity" which is literally the dumbest excuse.) The map is getting... [out of hand. ](https://writeups.letsyouandhimfight.com/images/bbb88573551a3df6f51b8f6fc9db03674e238f8b18f545035de9a021400ebf73.jpeg)

    You may have heard that the First Rule of Warfare is... [insert actual advice here]. ie.; don't attack a stronger enemy, there's no such thing as overkill, the weapon is always loaded, etc. They're *all* the First Rule of Warfare.
