I've never doubted that he's a good person and I'm not at all surprised to hear he's a good GM. I just questioned his game design skills.

But yes, I think you may be right that a large part of that comes down to his social media prowess...or lack thereof.

I've been pretty negative on Mearls for a long time. Back when I still played D&D it always felt like between him and Crawford, he was the one always speaking up with nonsense whereas Crawford was the thoughtful designer. And he was still in charge of D&D during the period that I lost interest with the game in part due to the longer-term direction of the game and in part due to retroactive changes made to existing material.

But I've been watching his new YouTube channel a bit lately, and it's not bad. This one was particularly interesting.

Hey, this Community is specifically for world news with some specific relevance to Australia. We're sometimes lenient when it comes from an Australian news source, but otherwise the news should have some significant focus on how it affects Australia in particular, or some group of Australians such as a politician, an Aussie sporting team, etc.

The Guardian has an Australian site, but this article seems to be from the original UK version, co-written by a UK-based and Spain-based journalist. Did it have some other particular relevance to this Community that I'm missing?

You joke, but it actually is l'economie.

It was mentioned on the official podcast, Braving the Elements, I think. Or else at their comic con panel.

Obviously with Paramount being what they are, there's still the chance that they turn around and cancel it later, but at least right now the status quo would lead to 4 coherent seasons.

They seem to have already confirmed four seasons of Seven Havens, so they're in a much better position than they were with Korra where they thought season 1 would be the only one...then season 2, and then 3 & 4 could be planned at least partly together.

Huh? The fact that people are supposedly going to be "forced" to show this is the entire point of the meme. Like, there's no other content in the meme. If that's wrong, we're left with nothing.

Sure, maybe. Still doesn't change the fact that nobody has yet presented (or even attempted to present) an explanation for the bizarre description in the post.

Nothing I have seen has said anyone will be "forced" to host it. They'll find some platform that is specifically willing to promote fascism.

I don't think that addresses the question. At least not the question that led me to go "huh?" when I saw this.

Which is that...yeah, the US is going to be murdering a dude on livestream. But what has that got to do with "content mods" who now "have to host" a video?

It's certainly not impossible that I'm wrong about the impact on the maggies. I first heard it when watching the Brisbane City Council meeting immediately after a baby was killed by one of these birds. A human baby. And that's precisely why I don't actually care if I am wrong. It being neutral or positive for the birds themselves certainly makes it an easier sell, but I strongly believe it would be the right thing to do regardless. Because babies being murdered and other people being violently assaulted is not something we should just have to put up with for 4 months every year.

Because of the importance of territory to us, we should NOT be moved elsewhere. Those that are captured and relocated will be killed or badly injured by magpies already living in the new area. To make matters worse, eggs and chicks will fail to survive without their parents. Relocation won’t solve your ‘problem’. A new magpie will take the place of the one you relocated and the swooping will start all over again. If the dominant male is removed from the territory then the whole flock may become vulnerable and threatened with displacement

Sorry but this is completely wrong.

the magpie itself benefits from the translocation. If they’re attacking, they’re usually stressed and need more space

when you take away the male within a very short time the bachelor birds outside of the territory will make a claim on the female and chicks and will look after the young better than the original male

As for the rest of this...

Avoid areas that are being defended

Useless fucking advice when 90% of our bikeways are along tree-lined parks and other places magpies are likely to be, and a vanishingly small number of safe routes are available as alternatives. Not to mention that you don't know where the magpies that swoop are until after you've already been fucking swooped.

Look, magpies are absolutely gorgeous birds when they're not swooping. But people should have the right to go about their regular business within the bounds of a city without the serious risk of injury or death. It's not reasonable to expect cohabitation with violent beings prone to assault. Everything I've heard suggests only a small percentage of maggies swoop people. That small percentage should be relocated where they aren't causing harm.
