Honestly, my main motivation here is to pick all of your brains to see how many different category-words there are, then change my game plan to react to the natural language words. For example, if we didn't have words more specific than Animal, Plant, Fungus, and Bacteria, I could slap a four-color mana system on that and call it a day. Obviously that's not the case, but in the unlikely system that I can describe all of creation using only 20ish names i could imitate Cardfight Vanguard and make them into a sort of clan system and do lots of clan-exclusive comboing off each other. Any more than that, I imitate Magic instead: certain cards care a whole lot about types (e.g.: Kavu you control are red in addition to their other colors, Red creatures you control have haste) while others pay more attention to subtypes (e.g.: Tap 12 Allies you control: draw a card) and other just don't discriminate, affecting everything or nothing.

God damn it how did I forgot rodents exist‽ I have three rodent pets in my living room right now and I talk about rodents all the time!

Yes. But is it moral? Also yes. Will you get sued? Almost certainly not.

It works. Well, it works about as well as your average LLM

I think the core of the problem is that back in the bad old days, things needed to be tuned up a bit before they would work right and there was a marked lack of standardization. Now, not only do our devices work right out of the box, bit they also have little quality of life stuff as well. I haven't bought a battery-powered device in years that wasn't partially charged when I got it, and most devices come preinstalled with all the basic utility apps.

Never underestimate the ability of a small change to completely break a system

Where else would you post this?

Gonna save this for later

Honestly, never heard of this before. Gonna try this for brainstorming. I think this might work well for this specific book idea since I have a bunch of plot beats I would like to hit but not a very strong opinion about what order to hit them in.

I think they don't federate by default

I think this would probably be the real reason

Nope, I am lactose intolerant but I can eat cheese, the concrete mixers from Culver's, and Oberweis ice cream for some reason

That being said, yesterday I had some (because a family member bought some for me) and just out of pure suspicion I took some lactaid pills before drinking it. I had no problems.

I think the Lactaid-brand eggnog is not in fact lactose free, despite what it says on the carton
