he’ll be visiting the team at Critical Role as their Game Master for the next core campaign of the tabletop role-playing game, actual-play series’.
That's the actual quote from the article. It could be implying that Brandon is taking over the next campaign, but to me it sounds like he'll be visiting as an occasional GM the same way he did for events around campaign 3. That's cool, I think. The entire crew thrives on collaboration.
Some of those "morals" need to decay.
When they put a Starbucks across the street from a Dunkin Donuts, they both perform better
You don't even need the ship to have active acoustics, just that the other ships whizzing by using "insert sci-fi techno babble force here" affect space and matter around them in such a way that energy waves from that sci-fi force moving silently through the vacuum and turn into sound when they interact with the technology/structure of your own ship or spacesuit. Like a microwave generating sparks and a crackling noise across metal foil.
The et cetera: Shouldn't be allowed to work overtime either. And they should get taxed more if they work a second job, so only 40 hours per week. Attach ridiculous fees to any attempt at saving money in a bank, can't have their money earning interest for them. They should also be in a high cost of living part of hell with no public transportation. And they should be forced to buy their own safety equipment. They should have to pay for healthcare out of pocket, no good health insurance. And they should be penalized for aging the same way too, with new billionaires coming in cheaper and forcing them out of their position and making their experience a liability in finding new work. Let's throw in some inflation to keeps things spicy. An HOA that is constantly fighting them and won't let them grow food. How about random detentions and beatings for being the wrong shade in the wrong part of hell town, the part they work in. And they should never be allowed to forget for one moment what they had in life and how they squandered it on petty selfish things.
It's also an argument for not having your own domain for emails, because you may one day loose that domain too, and someone could poach the domain to impersonate you.
They are using a private organization structure to try to loophole the civil rights act. Of course, it's a violation none the less, just with extra steps.
IANAL, so I don't really know how you'd build a case against them, let alone one that the current supreme court would actually hear (if that case would even get that far). The Supreme Court can absolutely say the quiet part out loud without saying anything, simply by refusing to hear the case. It's also entirely possible that this organization could get struck down by courts at such a low level that the ruling has no substantive effect outside their county or the state.
Fighting bigots has always required grassroots efforts in conjunction with federal support. Remember, the last time a president deployed the National Guard to a state without the governor's (of that state) approval before the recent California incident was when Lyndon Johnson sent the National Guard in to protect the civil rights of students against this kind of institutional racism at the local level. But, as you say, this administration has obviously abdicated their responsibility the rule of law and the rights of most of the population.
It doesn't work. Too much heat on the outside, but not enough time for that heat to get to the inside of an even slightly thick cut, especially if it's frozen. Phase changes take a lot more energy to cross than simply heating through the same temperature change. That's also why those fake ice cube things that aren't water (stone, metal, etc.) really suck at actually chilling a drink as well as plain old ice.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
2 hours max in the danger zone. More than that will get people sick.
I guess I didn't navigate the ads properly to the end of the article. Thanks for clarifying. We'll see how it pans out. I don't think Matt needs to be the forever GM for the crew to be successful. And it's nice to see Mercer get a chance to do some deeper role playing a single character instead of a handful of shallower NPCs.
