I've got a memory of finding a youtube video of one person sing it
Does this weirdness live in anyone else's memory?

Like, the PCs say a bunch and I go "She scowls and seems disbelieving but doesn't speak"
Or "She replies " that makes sense", obviously not believing that"
I realize I don't know if I see that elsewhere.

Twitter is basically WotC and the OGL right now. They want you to pay microtransactions in order to do something you can legally do, but they could, in theory, make take *slightly* more work.
Well, ok, twitter wants macrotransactions

And yeah, the Wilhoit thing is incredibly funny, you need to attribute it to "American Composer Frank Wilhoit"

So - basically take the Leverage (RPG) model with Hitter, Hacker, Grifter, Thief, Mastermind and then use that in place of like, Strength, Dex, or Intelligence and so on. I would probably use a die pool system since I love it, and so you'd end up with Role + Skill.
And then I think the secret sauce is that you set the consequences of failure based on the Role used. So a Hitter failing generally is hurt, a Grifter is identitied, and a Thief is seen.
If you have each role be attached to a specific kind of health bar - it can incentivize changing roles and so on.

And the dialog should not just have "deny", but "NO FUCKING WAY BEOTCH!"

I developed the habit of responding, "Yes, but of what?"
I would then point out that the district attorney was accusing them of being guilty of a lot more than they were willing to admit, and wanted to impose far greater penalties than they were willing to accept. It's that moment when they see the chessboard.

Soon my terrible idea will bear fruit
like this
1) putting some HTML in a rust binary will probably end up with a 2TB file
2) figure out how to easily serialize an image into a rust binary
like this
pub static {
index: &str = "<html>...
</html>"};
The next step is all the objcopy shit - mostly because I don't have a sense of how to do what I want to do in rust yet, since I've probably written a total of like... 2 hours of rust.
And right now the code just sits on my laptop, sorry. I'll probably open it once it's in a reasonably acceptable place.

•So, you've never been to a writers' workshop, spent 30 minutes with the staff on the school literary magazine, seen the original "You're the man now, dog!" scene, or had any other exposure to the thousand and one gimmicks invented over the centuries to get people to put one word after another.
"It provides examples for teaching the art of critique!"
Why not teach with examples, just hear me out here, by actual humans?
"Students can learn to write by rewriting the output!"
Am I the only one who finds passing off an edit of an unattributable mishmash as one's own work to be, well, flagrantly unethical?
"You're just yelling at a cloud! What's next, calling for us to reject modernity and embrace tradition?"
I'd rather we built our future using the best parts of our present rather than the worst.

•Like it actively interferes with me teaching kids how to write research papers, which they've never done before
It's objectively harmful for k12 students who don't fully understand how to write a thesis or organize a paper
fucking despise these arguments
