Arguing for what's best for humanity long term..

all their wealth has been distributed to feed those who are in need. Who are you going to kill and eat next?

No one. This isn't the fascism that always needs an enemy to hate on

The intention is different. Self defense against conservatives vs their offense against all. See also the paradox of tolerance

Doctors cut people up just like serial killers. They're basically the same.

is that not also a form of weakness masquerading as strength?

what?

How are you any better if you hate them for that?

I'm better than them because I'm not trying to overthrow the government to install a dictatorship that protects my in-group (eg: straight white people) and binds my out-group. I'm not trying to destroy the environment, murder the queers, ban books, ban vaccines, either.

Please. Elaborate.

I don't think the fumes from vaping are especially safe or welcome, either. At least there's no littering, though

You probably watch YouTube with the sound on and no headphones in public, too.

Hating on weak people feels good to them, maybe?

Every smoker I've met gets very defensive about "why can't I breathe my toxic fumes on everyone else?? What's the big deal?? And then they get so mad when I litter like get over yourself"

Smoking in public is indefensible. There are smoking cessation programs.

Conservatives have no real value system beyond "what is good for me right now?". They like or dislike things for transient, emotional, reasons. They might be in favor of charity when it's doing something they personally benefit from, but that's about as far as their reasoning goes.

Conservatives would say this is communism and bad, which is why we should kill and eat conservatives.

Probably because they're addicted, enjoy the high, and don't have the means or strength of character to quit.

Who's playing in the .32 tournament? (ttrpg.network)
 

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.

how do people feel about spears? (ttrpg.network)
 

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.

How are your metamor relationships? (ttrpg.network)
 

Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.

Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.

I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.

How do you find other poly people? (ttrpg.network)
 

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

[Online][Fate][UTC-5] Looking for a Thursday Evening Game (ttrpg.network)
 

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.

What's up with memes suffixed with "rule"? (ttrpg.network)
 

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?
