That’s going to always increase parentalmotivation.
Ah I see. I’m not sure that’s technically possible, but if it were, that’d be great.
I think better would be simply outlawing any communication between a donor and recipient, if the donor wishes to officially remain anonymous. Not they “have no way” to prove their identity, but they’re not allowed to prove it—or even imply it.
I don’t know what you mean by
double-blind to the donor AND recipient
But to me that phrase kinda implies that the donor doesn’t know who they donated to. Which…no. It should be blind to the recipient. Entirely blind. But people donating can still choose where to donate to.
The only country whose opinion should matter here is Taiwan. If and when they decide they want to be recognised officially, they should be. Not before, and not after.

I Google-searched “site:unbelievablefactsblog.com truck”, which turned up the right page. It linked to this site, which in turn links to this very detailed page.

I guess the way I’m thinking about it is that just because the third party doesn’t know it’s poly, doesn’t mean it isn’t poly to the people in the primary couple. It’s unethical and dishonest, but it is a situation where some of the people involved are being non-monogamous.

I actually did bite my dm with explicit consent. because I was trying to argue that a ranger/barbarian’s bite would be d6+Strength Modifier. and not d4+Strength Modifier. and he was like lmao human bites aren’t even that strong. and I said bet. and he said well bite me then as strong as an 18 attack roll would be (the prison guard had 14AC btw) and we had to stop the game because he had to go get stitches.
also he didn’t wanna say he let himself get bit to win an argument that he lost so badly he’s in the emergency room, so he was like “a rat did it” and the nurse turns her head 12 degrees to the left and sees my bloody mouth. and goes “yeah okay that happens”
and we did get the barbarian bite attack to be d6+Strength Modifier. I’m also now engaged to this guy and this campaign I get to be the dm!
probablybadrpgideas Absolute rollercoaster, but congrats on the engagement - Paper
Not my OC. You’ve got all the information I do.
Oh that’s amusing. So it’s just a complete coincidence that you posted it shortly after midnight on Wednesday in the very earliest time zone, then?
Also you confuse me. French pronouns, on a German-hosted instance, and you say you live in Spain. Pick a country!
Yeah that’s how I’d pronounce it too, as a native English speaker.
I think atro’s point is that non-ethical polyamory can exist. It shouldn’t be done, but can, and is still a type of polyamory.
use QR codes on each product
Pssst… products all already have scannable codes on them.
But yeah, Woolies rolled this out in a few of their stores last year. No need for dedicated hardware, the Woolies app does it. It took me a while to realise that actually it’s not yet available in very many stores. Just 16 in Qld, 20 in Vic, 32 in NSW, and 13 in the rest of the country combined. It just so happens that the two nearest to me are both on that list, so I got the impression that it was more common than it actually is.
But yeah, the tech does already exist as a whitelabel service. If I had to guess, I’d say Woolies rolled their own rather than using one of these, but other companies could do it without needing to do all the work themselves.
I played one (1) game of Age of Mythology. Just too busy to play much more. I do so enjoy it when I get the time though. It was a win, but I looked up my opponent afterwards and it was only their 4th or 5th game.
Also finally got back out an went for a run today, for the first time since the start of the month.
To be fair this is a very early post. It’s 10:30 pm here as I write this in Australia, and the post reads “2 hours”. So that means it’s set for somewhere 4 hours ahead of me, or UTC+14, the very earliest time zone there is, home to the Line Islands of Kiribati, and nowhere else.
It might be a bit more difficult for them than for Woolies and Coles, sure. But Australia is unique in how strong Colesworths are, and yet in other countries, as demonstrated in the video linked above, stores are able to have scan & go tech.
Granted, there are a whole bunch of other factors in the Australian market that make it way worse than it needs to be, like our restrictive zoning practices that promote driving to big supermarkets rather than stopping off at your local small store on the ride home or walk back from the train/tram/bus stop. But the bottom line in terms of their inability to provide customer conveniences is that if stores in a country that is both less centralised and lower population can do it, there’s really no excuse here. Pubs and clubs have gotten on board with it via the prevalence of QR codes to order food, despite menus being unique to every place. Maccas manages to have a pretty damn good app experience despite prices and menus varying somewhat between stores and being largely franchise-owned.
They don’t need to spend millions developing this for themselves. A quick search turns up numerous different while-label services that can do this for you. I don’t know exactly how much they cost or how hard they are to integrate, but I know I would be way more likely to go to somewhere other than Colesworth if the experience didn’t suck arse. Last time I went to my local local store (there’s also an IGA pretty nearby that I do visit from time-to-time, but this was a fully independent local grocer) they refused to check me out at all because I didn’t have cash, and they only accepted cash for small purchases.
Your last paragraph is a good point, and is yet another reason that the government should structure its laws and enforcement to help promote these smaller businesses rather than CostlesWorthdi. But I think it’s unlikely to sway very many shoppers.
I get the joke, but actually…yes. A co-op doesn’t mean the people actually doing the work don’t get paid. It actually doesn’t even mean not-for-profit, just that the people profiting aren’t shareholders, but people who actually have a direct stake in the business. That can be a customer-owned co-op, supplier-owned, worker-owned, or some combination of those. Those groups would be the ones making any profit, in a for-profit co-op. And in a not-for-profit worker- or supplier-owned co-op, the workers (including the CEO) and suppliers still get paid—they’re just able to be paid more while selling goods for the same price, or paid the same while achieving a lower price, than a non-co-op business would.
A few problems with this. That requires a world experienced in 2D, with one axis being towards or away from the centre, and the other being clockwise or anticlockwise. Works great when discussing intragalactic travel, but OP specified intergalactic travel. Where there is neither an obvious centre point nor a single plane on which things predominantly occur.
Though fwiw, language very similar to that is legitimately used in some real world languages. Some Malayo-Polynesian languages, such as Manam, talk about direction in terms of seaward, inland, clockwise, and anticlockwise.
Your leave resets? That sounds illegal.
