Quote from: ZandraJoi on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, 10:42..., how would you prevent others from editing it? From what I saw, on some Wikis people can add & subtract as needed.
It's actually really easy.  There's a permission that needs to be set or denied.  I can even tie the wiki into the membership system the forum uses.

I don't know if the system I used works all over the USA.  But I was able to search for my specific doctors (both my general practitioner and my therapist).

Since there are already Wikis out there for already established characters, I'd say start one with your own. What you can do, if it's allowed, is to post excerpts on the forums you are on to get feedback.
I've never done a Wiki myself but I've used them a lot. Here's a question, how would you prevent others from editing it? From what I saw, on some Wikis people can add & subtract as needed.

Quote from: Senkusha on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, 20:22I forget the website that I went to for the Federal Health Insurance Connector, but it lead me to my state's Health Connector site (MassHealth Connector).  After attempting to register on the site unsuccessfully several times, I had to call the phone number provided, and the representative answered all the questions I needed to answer correctly.  Then there was a tool that I could find my doctor(s) and my medications, and I even found dental.  All for the low, low cost of like $80/month.  (Much cheaper than going through my employer's plan (at over $200/month)!)

The cool thing is that I know my doctors are covered, and my prescriptions are covered!
I wonder if that is similar for all of the USA. Do you have a doctor you see regularly then I take it? I'm honestly still looking for a PCP who is competent! My last one retired after being with him near 15 years. He was a PA-C then became a Naturopath so I had the best of both worlds. Naturopaths aren't recognized in Michigan so they need to have a doctor's license to do anything medically.

Quote from: TwitchisMental on Sunday, March 17, 2024, 10:39On the bright side he has a successor who has been working with him since the Super series started.

So DragonBall will live on :].
I wonder if the successor will create a new spin, different take on the characters or continue on with what the original was about?
Anybody have any ideas on this?
To my understanding, he already had his hands in super. I am willing to bet they have has many conversations about the future of Dragonball. I'd say all we can really do is wait and see.

I'm thinking of starting a wiki, however, I'm not sure what I want to publish on it yet.  Does anybody have any ideas?

I  mean, I could create a knowledge base of anime characters.  Or I could use it as a knowledge base for a fictional world that I create.

I saw a post on TikTok last night that got me thinking.  The person talking on the video was explaining that there really isn't much difference between Feudalism and Capitalism.  The vocabulary was changed.  Instead of Lords and Nobility, and Peasants, you've got Employers, Investors and Employees.  The lower class continues to be exploited by the wealthy Employers and Investors.  The only difference besides the titles and the motivation to work is that we have more choice in what we as workers do to earn our lives.  We can choose what occupation we do to earn money.  And, if the planets align, and we make the correct decisions, we too can invest, and try to climb up out of poverty.

I got to thinking, if Capitalism is the natural evolution in the various economic engines that provide civilization to prosper, then what's the next phase?  Will we finally turn this pyramid structure we currently have a few overloads hoarding all the wealth at the top into a circle, where everybody shares equally and everybody has a chance to actually prosper as a collective?  Is this [the evil] Socialism?

What do you think the next phase of economic models will be for humanity?
