It would be nice to have rules of inheritance so your dwarves' descendants would inherit important items like named weapons from generation to generation.

Facebook broadcast a live video of 3 men in Sweden raping a semi-conscious woman. Only after a long time did the onlookers realize it was not a bad joke, and someone informed the police. The video kept streaming the rape, until the police entered the appartment and arrested the 3 men.

I read an AMA from some Facebook mod once, and apparently, it's just really terrible.  You're constantly exposed to all kinds of heinous stuff, child abuse content, rape, and similar to this, people actually broadcasting crimes in progress.  Plus, when you're trying to deal with this, you're also flooded with a nonstop torrent of frivolous, bogus complaints and people getting offended about literally nothing, making it hard to find the actual legitimate criminal content.

I'd imagine this was simply a case where someone prioritized actually contacting the police to stop the crime over stopping the stream.  Maybe they assumed someone else was doing it.  Maybe they realized that shutting down the stream would alert the criminals that their actions were being monitored.

I seriously doubt anyone said "let's just leave this rape stream up for the pure hell of it."

I really hate any "think of duh children!!1" excuses and that anti-LGBT law is the example why you shouldn't use this kind of excuse. BTW, Russian government passed "The Internet & Phone Wiretapping" law (it will be actual in November 2018), and you want to know what excuse they used for this particular law? *drumroll* "FIGHTING THE TERRORISM!!1", yeah, you hear that right, they use excuse which 'Murica used to justify Iraq War. At least American government didn't scream "We will spy on our own citizens" before the 2013 scandal, but our (Russian) government pretty much screams that bullcrap, but with "FIGHTING THE TERRORISM!!1" argument.

"Those who give up their liberty for security neither deserve liberty or security" - Benjamin Franklin.

So they passed a law very similar to "USA PATRIOT."

Elves have a endless supply of animals though, for all those delicious meat roasts...

It's barely endless.  In all my games, elves show up with weak, anemic caravans where you can buy them all out with prepared meals alone.  Then they make weird, dumb demands, insult you, call you things like "stunted," and other such nonsense.  Sometimes they even leave around some moron "diplomat" you have to kill just for fun.

Ingredients

flesh of any sapient.

Preparation, just start nomming on it.

I think this is the main goblin diet.

Then again, weed is legal in Colorado...
I imagine the elves would ingest berries with the properties of weed...
Colorado is elf territory.

Weed as an ingredient would definitely make the dankest roasts.

This is more of a going "hey this is a pretty cool idea" rather than WTF, but a warning message just stopped me from necro'ing a four year old thread accidentally and looking like a fool.

Better than having one of the best books in your library be this.

"This is a bismuthinite-bound codex.
The written portion consists of a 126 page manual entitled Can Toxic Substances Save The World? , authored by Nepe Humidwalls. It concerns the classification of toxic substances. The writing could only have been produced by a merciful spirit . Overall, the prose is splendid."

How did it end up bound in bismuthinite anyway?  I rarely get more than a tiny pocket of that with maybe a half dozen units of it.  I usually make bismuth bronze with it.  I would love to have an artifact made of it.
I wish I could read that book.

It is found in the famed library of "the sewer of pus". Admission is free, assuming you don't get trapped in the physics bending, bloody, river that's filled with stupid visitors and dog pus.

While visiting, feel free to enjoy our tavern. You will be served delicious roasts made of the finest minced seeds. We can provide you anytime you want.

Unless you want to meet with the mayor. Because no one can meet with the mayor. The liaison never talks to him, and the visitors petitions take 2-3 years to get through.
