it's the worst shit. even now, well into adulthood, when I'm injured or something, I'm still supposed to rely on my mom. I don't have one of those.

I tried explaining it to a doctor once. I showed him some of the scars. just in one ear and out the other.

I feel like the reliance on 'family' is a way to dismantle any solidarity or any hint of a society, any kind of broad social support. I feel like it's a whole thing.

we all do.

they certainly don't run windows.

this is why everyone should pirate literally anything they can, even if they don't particularly want it.

er, with a few very gross exceptions that shouldn't exist.

literally a threat to democracy.

we destroy excess food. hire armed thugs to keep people moving into empty shelter.

that's what your taxes are for.

I feel like a brightly colored teddy bear that hides in your kitchen to shoot you with a memory erasure ray to change who you are as a person is the most MKULTRA thing ever.

and trust me, when someone who can't stop thinking about that shit starts getting optimistic and looking at silver linings, people get, WAY more upset than they do when we just point out how fucked everything is. like seeing the silvery edges of the mushroom cloud is way more disturbing than the death toll.

I might even buy that, if there wasn't a really good case for calling him 'genocide joe'.

also, they need to start treating fascists like they treat the left. you know, if they want to win elections. I bet they could even win some votes FROM the left, if they made some compromises.

they're a fucking plague. every single fucking one.

we're plenty capable of sucking without them, but they make everything else.

I think she was so obsessed with it being a coronation, she just like fully forgot to register some places?

also being a delusional piece of shit lib when america signaled thats not what they wanted in the primaries? not super helpful. it took skill to lose to trump, a special gift.

well, you see, trans people exist, so you must always have the right to rape your children and lock them in the basement and force them into cults.

what I liked about 3.5 was that it was insane, and the system was exploitable in ways the GM could not predict. it let you surprise even a railroady GM. there's a kind of vibrancy that gives to a fantasy world. I think for a lot of people, that was the first time they saw anything like that. it was a tedious 90s/00's kind of good.

it was tedious, and required knowing far too many rules. it was a tedious sprawling 90s/00's kind of shitty. I don't think it was a good system on balance, I just think it's better than any other D&D, unless pathfinder counts.

and you can absolutely play a non-wizard, you just have to be as broken and weird as the wizards are.
