This feels like an origin story for a Punisher reboot.

I really hope we get through this, and all the people who supported trump are convicted of crimes against humanity or something. We can't just keep letting conservatism break out every couple decades like a herpes infection.

For many of then, if they were capable of looking at the world and drawing good conclusions, they wouldn't be conservative to begin with.

I wouldn't say it's hopeless, but something as basic as "facts" and "evidence" isn't going to be enough to reach someone who's a fragile, terrified, ego wrapped in a thick blanket of emotions and lies.

Also the text says

When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

That's not a metaphor. The camel thing was a colorful metaphor to demonstrate the point.

That's luke 18:22

Most people who call themselves Christians do a piss poor job of it. Some of them then go "oh well I'll be forgiven it's okay". That's not really following the intent. That's trying to take advantage of someone's kindness.

Whole hours flew by when I installed that. The AI seems weaker than the desktop version, but it's still fun

I'm ~40, so I don't date or spend much time with people in their 20s.

I have seen the occasional profile demanding a certain height, but I just skip on it immediately.

I wonder if it correlates with other attributes? I'm also very left wing so I don't interact with conservatives much, for example. Maybe "I need a tall man and I'll say it out loud" happens more there?

Republicans shouldn't be allowed to hold office. Every one of their ideas is bad. Someone saying "I'm a republican" should get responses akin to someone saying "I eat paste" or "I kick puppies." Stupid or cruel, it doesn't matter, they're bad people.

Well, better late than never. The question is if they're going to connect the dots and realize everything else the right wing says is nonsense and projections.

I'm pretty sure lemmy.world will ban you for "promoting violence", but it probably varies by community.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 18 hours ago

I think a lot about a post I read that said something like "You hate every piece of capitalism, but you won't connect the dots to see the big picture."

People want to blame the queers or the blacks or the muslims or whatever, but it's the capitalist class that's shitting up the world. That's why everything's expensive and shitty, the environment is collapsing, everyone's stressed and can't get enough sleep.

FP regenerates in some of the games, with the right equipment. But it's kind of too slow to rely on.

There are other systems that could make it interesting. Like, maybe casting spells builds up "heat", and if it gets too high something bad happens.

I did a run of DS2 with a staff in one hand and a sword in the other. Felt like Gandalf. Good time. Highly recommend.

 

Not sure if this community is dead, but here we are!

I kind of stopped playing new versions around .28 because I really disliked the opportunity attacks mechanism, but I thought I'd give .32 a try. The new shapeshifter things look cool, but in fussing with it a bit it's harder than I expected.

But now the tournament is live! Who's playing?

https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.32/

I currently have one win with ye olde MiBe. Got lucky with good armor early on, and then cruised to a 3 rune (shoals + snake + vaults) win.

There was one dicey moment in the lungs where I went around the corner to reveal 4 orbs of fire, some draconians, and a lightning golem all waiting for me. Hasted + Fog'd my way the hell out there.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
