  • This is part of the reason I love Monster of the Week. Unlike in many TTRPGs, the default expectation is that you all have a common backstory.

  • Shots fired...good thing Storm Troppers can't hit anything

    Jump

  • The rest of the book is neonationalist garbage

    Just have to ask...you do realize it's satire, right?

  • Bad Arguments Against Free Buses

    Jump

  • It's the same argument as "I will not let MY tax dollars go to some druggie for free health care!" Not realizing that they already are.

  • Most Americans say country is on the wrong track, blame Trump for inflation, disapprove of the president and say he is going too far to expand power of presidency

  • You. Don't. Need. To. Be. To. Have. Realized. He. Was. Like. This. Since. Before. His-

    First fucking term and even before that. This bit's old already.

  • No doubt

    Jump

  • I am absolutely arguing that. The rich in actual mid-to-south New York and elsewhere aren't actually taxed, why would the rich in Gotham be?

  • No doubt

    Jump

  • Key word, Should. If taxes actually went where people say it does, it might. And even then, it'd also take a lot of funding outside of just taxes, not to mention someone to actually start doing stuff about with all that funding. Also note on that list is rampant corruption and criminal syndicates mingling with the government.

  • The Dice Giveth...

    Jump

  • I just think whether or not each and every player here has an outrageously high stat and what those stats are is a bit of an unnecessary hassle to add to the already long list of things the GM needs to keep track of.

  • The Dice Giveth...

    Jump

  • The problem with this argument is that first off, the GM can't know your character sheet front-to-back because they're not playing your character, so they probably don't know if even a 1 will pass the DC they've set.

    1/20 is much less regular than 5/20 or even 19/20

    It's still far more common than is reasonable.

  • Bricked up

    Jump

  • "Even" Animals don't deserve it? Why is "even" in that sentence? Are you assuming we would be more willing to hurt animals than we would be to defend ourselves from fascists?

    Tolerance of intolerance is the death of tolerance.

  • Bricked up

    Jump

  • That implies animals are lesser than fascists.

  • Anime Recommendations

    Jump

  • I just ctrl F'd "Undead Unluck" and didn't find it so there's that one. In fact, it even makes sure to establish the importance of healthy relationships! AND that beauty isn't always in youth!

  • Graphics are now BANNED

    Jump

  • The flash game The Blind Swordsman does something like this.

  • You are all peasants now.

    Jump

  • This is a common misconception from their depictions in the movies showing the characters treating them like hammers, both in terms of how they swing them and sometimes in terms of how they hit enemies with the blade never cutting anything.

  • I have to agree with bleistift2 that you chose a bad example here, at least in regards to the United States and other rampantly car-dependent places. Obviously the wording is ableist, but someone complaining about a real issue such as car-dependency or just generally high-class laziness might not think of that at the time. A better example I think would be

    People's aversion to talking to others is stunningly ridiculous and shouldn't be enabled.

    Not only is this more obviously ignorant of disability, but it also doesn't pose the question of if they're arguing against something no-one should be complaining about vs real-world issues caused by corruption and late-stage capitalism. c/fuckcars

  • Anon uses Discord

    Jump

  • When you go into a public space and see a guy you've never seen or heard of before in your life and then later get arrested for associating with a sexual predator because you looked at that guy even though nothing about him even hinted at anything to do with crime of any sort.

  • The devil went down to Georgia

    Jump

  • Gonna have to agree with the one replying to ya here - you did not explain what you meant at all.

  • Hurry

    Jump

  • What's a woman?

    Jump

  • And more lies.

    If that's not what you were saying, then what were you saying?

    Also, I like how you say both “I am not saying you are a racist” and “your (subconscious) bigotry” as if those aren’t total contradictions.

    They are not. Subconscious bigotry or bias doesn't necessarily make one a bigot, as contradictory as that may sound. Whether they like to admit or not, everyone reacts differently to people who are noticeably different from them. There is no way to entirely avoid this, only to realize when it happens and not act according to it. Or in other words: "I don't care if you're racist! EVERYONE'S racist!"

  • (dnd 5e) Prove me wrong, RAW

    Jump

  • No, you're not understanding. There is nothing saying, RAW, you can't play as a gnoll. The RAW is that you can't choose a gnoll as your race - but in the case of being polymorphed into one, you didn't choose that, you were changed into one. And the RAW for that is to assume that everything works the same as before, barring what is explicitly said in the spell for that transformation. And once again, nothing in the spell says you stop playing as a character who is transformed, regardless of if the transformation is "playable" or not. There is not even a "playable" tag for anything, anywhere, in RAW.

    I don't actually know how controversial or not this might be, but it does annoy me mildly.

    This situation is so ridiculous, this is the only way I know how to cope.

    Bit of a text wall, but this has always bothered me.
