It gets worse than that, and its weird no one has brought this up. This is going to be difficult to explain, because I have never actually played AD&D, only read it. There is a fighter feature called percentile strength, there the fighter has a percentage next to his strength score. This is only ever for strengths of 18, and the best was an 100, notated at 18/00. So Why mentioned this kind (face it) stupid and archaic rule?

"in the Strength Table I, the range 18/01-50 is noted as "Maximum strength possible for a female human or male gnome character."

I'm not sure about that; I think a lot of radicalizing discourse of late comes from the same place. Life under late stage capitalism is hard, and people are not sure why, nor can they articulate it. And they can tell it's getting worse. Its a rife breeding ground for fascists, but when you hit leftist spaces, the tankies have the biggest net. You'll be greeted by r/socialism, and find yourself in its web of subs. You might get pulled in by a Gravel Institute video (especially since you might be aware of Prager U and are interested in a video from the other end). It might be Chapo Trap House. And a lot of entry points into Tankie spaces are extremely compelling. For a lot of people, it will be the first anti Imperial talking points they will ever hear, with no liberal "but this is the greatest nation" filter.

I think this content is actually good and useful. The USA is guilty of myriad atrocities that its citizenry doesn't know about, or the full depth, or doesn't think about in order to get through their daily life.

But then after you get past that, the Tankie reveals himself to be "Anti Nato" without an cohesive political or moral position, in a very "politics as a team sport" kind of way. Russia is a moderately sized challenger to NATO, so they love it. It is also a successor state to a Red Empire. Ukraine is NATO making overtures to NATO, so they don't like it. Israel is an imperialist NATO outpost, and they are committing a genocide, so of course they don't like it, but so many tankies have shown their whole ass diving into Antisemitism, making fun of Jewish names, or Jewish influence on policy, that Ive exited most of the tankie spaces I was still in. Antizionism is not antisemitism, and they are antisemites.

But compare that to China, where they deny a genocide because it is being perpetrated by the largest challenger to NATO and still nominally communist state in the world, and you have your answer.

Fine, I will grant you, you aren't fascists. Fascists hate people and want to kill them.

Tankies love "the revolution" more than the people they want to benefit. You may not see it as breaking a few eggs to make an omelette, but when you sit out an election where the fascists have a better than coin flip odds of seizing power, you are effectively letting them do that. And if you're willing to let trans people die in camps for... what was it? "Enough class consciousness to build" then... well, fuck you and your revolution.

Like, also this reveals your total all encompassing privilege. Because look dude, if the fascists are putting trans people and immigrants into camps, do you really think they will spare you? Or do you just think you're white enough that you'll go under the radar until your "revolution" happens?

Also, fuck any revolution that involves taking up the tools and institutions of power. Those need to be ground to dust

No one ever watched "Divergent" come on now

I picked up my friends switch used for 200 buckaroos. I got really into DS emulation and I went really hard on pokemon especially. I was looking forward to BDSP.

The new pokemon games were really anemic. I got some fun out of Mario Galaxy. But it just sits there now. I miss the first party piracy experience. I think also if i had had the ability to easily bring my old school mons (which i still have saved on my pc).

Its okay to play DnD and Magic. But its not okay to give WotC money. Remember when they sent literal Pinkertons after a guy. Or when they tried to end the OGL. That was all last year.

Theft is moral. Paying corporation for the privilege of being stolen from is not.

honestly? I hope he dies in the next few months. It would save us all a lot of heart ache. Natural causes. We dont need hm becoming a martyr.

So I have some real insight here. Around 2017 I decided to try Nofap. I joined their forums at nofap.com. I downloaded their countdown app. Honestly, I thought that porn had taken over my life. I abstained from six months. I kept up with the people on the forum. So I really immersed myself in it and their culture. My findings:

The claims of the effects of Nofap may have a grain of truth. Im not sure if it is because of my libido being focused out like they claimed, or if was other factors (I stated regular excersize and I went back to college around that time) but I was more interested in sexual matters and more sexually successful.

The people on the forums are completely and utterly insane. Evangelical men being forced to abstain by wives who considered porn cheating. Incels who thought that this was the secret code. Semen retentionists. It felt like I was the only one who wanted to be free of porn just because I wanted to.

Lastly, I wanted to point out that they are misreading, as they always seem to. the problem is not porn, but Capitalism.

I would just ban cars. Start working on a network of local light rail and high speed long distance passenger rail. If you cant get to where you need to go via train, then you have to move out of your exburb enclave

Local Jew in Detroit here. Woll was my friends' cousin. Another friend was in elementary school with her at Hillel.

People are shook up and scared. People aren't sure if this is the crest of a wave of antisemitic violence, or something more senseless.
