#Duped
DéM's note on Patrons:
Any Patron who hands a Warlock the IS for use should be considered evil under essentially every imaginable definition, but don't force players to be evil themselves. Give them outs on how to handle the fact they were duped.

Do you hate that D&D/WotC/Hasbro has trademarked the term "DM"?

Do you want a legal alternative that fits just as well?

Why I have a[n etymological] solution for you!

Dem-e-ti or dom-eye-ti

DéM, totally legally distinct!

Alabama needs to wake up. Over 50% of the voters still want to vote republican. When are they going to figure out they are being lied to? Come on Alabama - Tubberville? He extorted money and then blamed his partner. He claimes he was duped. Either he is a liar or he is stupid. We can do better.

California drivers are getting a little more protection at the dealership — but they’re still getting hammered everywhere else.

Cloudflare is an internet terrorist organization.
My sympathy for anyone who was duped into putting their website on their cloud.
Now you have ZERO internet traffic.

This is very interesting. We are being duped by Wall Street. Things are definitely worse than they project. And for reasons we all can see.

The suspect who called police, apparently prompting a massive anti-terror, bomb-squad response, is a very interesting part of this story. What went through his mind that night? Was it conscience? Resistance to coercion? Did he figure out he was being duped into something awful? I hope we find out.

I have not seen anyone else make the point, around here. There is a distinct anti-voter vibe. As if shaming and scolding them will get them to vote our way. People don't work that way.

Sure, there are a lot of terrible voters around. Some people were duped, misled, etc. The info environment is bad.

I'd like to believe it didn't. It didn't work on you or me but there's probably people who bought in. How many people have to be duped for it to "work?" The GOP has cooked textbooks. I worry there could be synergy with AI propaganda, esp as they're fed "the benefits of slavery" or other nonsense.

A lot of them moved here as “political refugees” attracted to Noem’s commercials. They’re committed to the bit, no matter what. Being duped is better than being a lib.

Yeah, I get what you mean.

I recall how I was duped by AI content, usually music stuff and some short videos thatbI didn't even know was AI (almost all of which were related to dogs, it wasn't much). But yeah, we all learn how bad things can get. The important thing now is what we do about it now.

I admit I was duped and I’m furious.
We’ve not only got Harper 2.0 but Regan 2.0; he talks a good game while picking your pockets and destroying the world.

This week #CockyBoys has Jake Jaxson's GODS & HEROES finale w/ @cademaddox.bsky.social as Zeus & @sethcainxxx.bsky.social as Hermes! There's hot sex in this fun, satirical episode that shows Zeus embracing a modern world whose humans are as easily duped as the ancients. bit.ly/3HeGQEO

What they're doing is forcing it on us to try to get us to like it so that somehow consumer-facing AI makes money for them. Most of us aren't duped and realize how useless it is. At best, it's like having a shitty intern working for you. They suck and you have to check all their work.
September 30, 2026 at 10:59 PM
it’s way too much work, i feel like they’ll just let the people who duped keep the capes and everyone who spent $30 just lost their money, it’d be cool to see someone with the cape and think “that guy bought d2 in pre order” but that’s probably not happening
September 30, 2026 at 10:39 PM
Okay, supposed Liberals:

If you are not completely losing your shit over this and ready to admit you were duped you can no longer be taken seriously.

We circled the wagons to oust Herr Harper in ‘15 and now all of a sudden you’re all-in?

Really?

Pierre Poilievre’s real problem isn’t that he is facing discontent from within his caucus; it’s that he’s losing support from important Conservatives from without.
