I'm gonna deal with your ignorant ass in just one comment because i'm capable of coherent thought.

First of all, you've never been to a Kentucky corn field so fuck right off with that. Your deafened city ears don't know what quiet actually is. Paris is a city. Even if people are tip-toeing around and whispering, it's going to be louder than any rural area just by pure scale of humanity moving around. But people don't do that, do they? No, they drag their screeching offspring to the store, or drunkenly yell at each other on the street in front of a bar, or repair a sidewalk or 5 with jackhammers and cement mixers.

Junkies? Who said anything about junkies? If you're referring to the urine smell, look no further than the rampant liquor establishments infesting cities and fueling wall-pisses in alleys nearby.

Humans used to exclusively exist in small rural tribes, it's cities that are an unnatural concentration of people that only began as a central place for people to come, get rid of shit they don't need, get some shit they need and leave as fast as possible to not be mugged, kidnapped, raped, or murdered.

The food produced in rural areas? Again, that's all you think is going on there? I work in tech and so do most of my neighbors. Get a better perspective. You're the reason I hate cities.

I'm done here, feel free to have your last, ignorant comment. I'll never know

Local coal plant? Is that all you think exists in rural areas? Maybe you fuckcars idiots need to do a bit more research before spouting your city-centric views all over the place. Some people just don't want to be a sardine in your urine-smelling concrete noise factory.

I consider this a good vs bad DM issue, not necessarily a game system issue. A good DM will offer XP for non-combat situations too even if it's not in a handbook. I guess I might have a different view on D&D vs other gaming systems because my group started with AD&D and just changed all the shit we didn't like. It was only D&D by name after a while. We had a mana system (spell mats are the worst), custom classes / races / spells, and a lot of fun. The most important part isn't the game system, it's good people to play with.

Also built in TOTP / 2fa is pretty great.

I can't wrap my head around how this is a good idea. Isn't the idea of mfa to protect against password theft? If your second factor is stored with your password, how does that help anything? Honest question, I see this everywhere but can't figure out why it's acceptable with security-minded folks

So, we're destined to make new words for colors because all the color words we have now are taboo?

Blackmail was used in England and Scotland to describe money paid by tenant farmers to a chieftan: https://www.history.com/news/where-did-the-word-blackmail-come-from

Black sheep literally comes from black sheep. That one is really obvious... https://www.etymonline.com/word/black%20sheep

Black market was more associated with anarchists that used black as their color than actual black people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_market

The goal here shouldn't be changing peoples' view on the concepts of white/black. We need to stop people from using those words to describe people. People (outside rare cases) are not BLACK or WHITE or YELLOW or RED, or.... how about we use actual people names for people?

White and black as colors and concepts are too important to have to tippy-toe around. If something is black, I should be able to say so without getting internet-spanked. Etymology means something regardless of what anybody thinks. You can't just make something racist because it has a color word in it.

Can everybody just stop looking for things to be mad about for a hot minute?
