    So yeah, its not one of the default morphe patches, and those are the only ones I'm gonna trust without being able to do my own research. We got no info, so how would we be able to investigate these patches?

    Youre right, but this isnt me reversing course, its me saying: you are using "pop music" with a different definition from the person you are responding too

    Pop-music per your definition is a genre or set of genres. Pop-music per the definition presented though is any successfully commercialized music that by association with the label of that commercialized genre perpetuates further commercialization. Metallica, and thus metal that follows them falls into this category.

    Pretty sure this is a word use issue. Metal IS pop music, in that it is closely tied to mainstream commercial endeavors.

    The GENRE pop music is basically a nonsense term. Its not one thing, its dozens, and metal is a counter response to many of those things.

    Yes, you can lump a whole ton of stuff together and make categorical statements about it, even when it shouldn't make sense.

    Rap is pop? Yep! And nope! Country is pop? Yep! And nope! Metal is pop? Yep! And nope!

    So yes, Metallica as people may (have once) been a part of the ethos that spawned metal and its signifiers, they are absolutely pop stars.

    ...lol I dont want perfect to be the enemy of good, but somehow the idea of turning 3/4 of the planets surface "slightly" more alkaline seems like it would have considerably more unintended consequences

    That's why your down votes aren't coming from me.

    There is an association that makes sense to people, but that association isnt reflective of what genocide actually is. Its a specific example, and because that specific example isnt 1:1 it's misunderstood.

    Nuance left the party around the time folks started thinking you could carry on a conversation with 144 characters or fewer, not that it was in the limelight before then either.

    I do not have a solution for the interaction between brain and mouth, or mouth and brain, sadly.

    It isnt really any less severe... Less violent, maybe but not necessarily.

    Native Americans have spent 500 years being genocided. Some of that was in extermination campaigns but a LOT of kidnapping and forced acculturation into "the white mans world" accomplishes the same goal of eradication of a culture or ethnic group.

    There's a long history of forced sterilization in the american black community as well, not to mention that we have a record of arresting black men and throwing them in prison for the crime of being black and poor.

    All of these are different methods of genocide.

    I know WHAT it is, but I dont know why it exists, what use it has, or where it may have come from. All sides are identical, its translucent green. The pips are scalloped, not painted on, and are otherwise unremarkable. Help me out here, its definitely my favorite d6, but I am struggling to figure out a purpose for a +5 dice.

    ...I mean, aside from that I need a +5 weapon, clearly.
