Oooh! Preliminary plans, but it looks like I may be teaching an MA course on Philosophy of Time next year, *and* a BA3 course on Richard Rorty's Pragmatism as Anti-Authoritarianism. Exciting. #philosophy

One of these is the duvet you use when it gets cold outside, the other when it is warm. Which is which? Did nobody at IKEA realise how ambiguous these pictures are?

Two duvets. One has a label with a thermometer showing a low temperature, the other has a label with a thermometer showing a high temperature.

@wf I have no idea, to be honest! Just running a Wordpress site with basically no customisation. I'm not immediately seeing rss settings in the settings panel, but then, I also don't necessarily know where to look.

Het is toch eigenlijk hilarisch, op een soort in-trieste wijze, dat Schoof die frase 'er is en was geen sprake van racisme' zo letterlijk uit zijn hoofd had geleerd dat hij hem meermaals volstrekt ongrammaticaal gebruikte (na het woord 'dat').

"Maar ik constateer, en we hebben met elkaar geconstateerd als kabinet en ook de fracties, dat er is en was geen sprake van racisme."

That proud feeling when you type 'embarras de choix' into your search engine to find out what the right spelling is, and you already had the right spelling. 🤓

I wrote a long blog post on Kant's sentence: "Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind." There's a lot more going on there than is apparent at first sight!

@MennoOng Mijn opa was generaal. Na zijn pensionering deed hij vrijwilligerswerk in de stad waar hij woonde, voorzitter van lokale clubs en zo. Maar nee, geen televisieshows en podcasts helaas (?).

@enfors This daughter doesn't want to marry the servant, but she's torn because she's loyal to her father and wants to save his farm.

The farmer's son is a hothead who wants to beat up or threaten the baron, and his father is having trouble restraining him.

Maybe we add in another NPC who has an alternative -- but very problematic -- way for the farmer to get money.

Now we've got a hot mess of people in relations with opposing desires, and things will HAPPEN whatever the PCs decide to do.

@enfors So, maybe what's at stake is that the local baron wants to kick an insolvent farmer out of his family farm so he can sell it and get even richer.

Baron: wants to kick the farmer out and get rich.
Farmer: wants to keep his farm and pay back the baron's loans later.

But now we spice things up with NPCs that are related to the farmer and the baron!

Maybe the baron has a servant who is in love with a daughter of the farmer; and this servant wants to impress his love by saving the farm.

@enfors One of my favourite roleplaying games is Ron Edward's Trollbabe, and although its excellent GMing advice doesn't always translate to other games, here is one thing that I think very often does:

1. Figure out what is at stake in the situation the PCs land in.
2. Then, for NPCs, figure out what they want concerning those stakes.

This ties in to your point about relationships, because relationships and stakes are usually intertwined. Example in next post.
