Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

    As a fun saying goes “The future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed”

    The same could easily apply to magics of many kinds

      Every time I see shit about cutting edge prosthetics with near-full motion capability, controllable via muscles and nerves or whatever they even use nowadays, I’m reminded of my friend from work who couldn’t even afford something beyond a simple plastic harness arm that essentially is just to make it look like he has an arm, with no utility value.

      He would take it off during work because it just got in the way, but wore it out to avoid all the questions about it with randos.

      Every time I see things about cancer treatments I’m reminded of a few people I knew from my parents social events that have died in the last 10 years simply because they couldn’t afford the treatments. A few even got divorced to keep their debt from ruining their spouse after they’re gone.

      The future can be here all it wants, but until everyone has access to it, we may as well be considered a medieval society.
