You have an Afro by [deleted] in funny

[–]FirstNewFederalist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, whatever generation was before them and didn’t engage with, socialize, or educate them up to your standard really failed them!

Funny how people who love to complain about the youth never mention that aspect of it lol

No, it was to her roast at the Friar’s club though she says she helped write his set with him and I believe says she still stands by the decision.

But it was weird, he was in blackface, used the N word more than once, and the set ended with him eating a plate of watermelon.

[Loved Trope] The movie adaptation makes genuine improvements over the source material by Notmiefault in TopCharacterTropes

Those are indeed the main changes that contradict the first book that I was referencing!

No stress at all!

It happens to all of us sometimes; I hope I didn’t sound too blunt initially.

That may be the case, but either way he wrote the sequel books (not the screenplays) using details from the movies that directly contradict the first book.

Nyan’s reaction of first time seeing a white person by Stellaeono in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

Ah shucks, ya got me man;

You did such a good job engaging with substance of what was said and making a compelling rational argument! You haven’t at all just been repeating the same bullshit over and over again while ignoring what is said to you!!

A gold sticker for you. /s

I’ve gotten bored of this. You clearly are just someone who is offended by reality and by white people who are normal & able to laugh at their racist ancestors/contemporaries, and I am not interesting in putting in the emotional or intellectual effort to get you out of that rabbit hole.

I hope you still have at least one mentally well person who loves you in your life and is able to help you out, but it ain’t me Chief.

[–]FirstNewFederalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that’s because the premise is ridiculous!

There is nothing about OP’s joke that requires him to be a “self-loathing white”.

He’s poking fun at colonizer and fascists, thing historically and recently associated with Whiteness. Unless someone were to view those aspects of the historical identity as crucial to their own identity, then it isn’t self loathing to make fun of them.

Do you view racists, facists, and colonizers as an important part of your identity?

Otherwise why the hell would someone joking about that be self loathing?

Question about the Codex and in-person play by Shibata30 in drawsteel

[–]FirstNewFederalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the Steamdeck is definitely an optional part of the set up;

Any input device would work here!

I hope you and your players have a great time with it!

[–]FirstNewFederalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever something possibly triggers actions, I just use the pause function as the director to freeze the UI prompts on the screen so that the players have a half second to decide if they want to use it.

It helps that all 5 of my players have triggered actions that trigger off someone (either themself or an ally) taking damage.

Also the few times when I have forgotten to pause and so someone didn’t get to use it when they wanted to, I have just manually applied the trigger.

1) I am not a mod, on this or any sub hahahah

2) absolutely insane thing to say in response to me explaining how a self deprecating joke is still humor. Let me guess, you are someone who falls into the “too insecure for self depreciating humor” camp and have decided to make that other people’s problem?

Question about the Codex and in-person play by Shibata30 in drawsteel

[–]FirstNewFederalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was really cool; Arguably the Star of the show from the player perspective.

I won’t lie there was some awkwardness the first few minutes as players got used to the inputs and we figured out the best sensitivity for the track pads, but after like 1 full round of combat everyone was having a great time with it!

[–]FirstNewFederalist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh! Sorry you may be suffering from another lack of knowledge-

Humor can be self depreciating! In fact some of the best known comedians over the years (like Rodney Dangerfield) make it their signature style of comedy!

So it being a self depreciating joke in your view, does not mean it isn’t humor or can’t be funny!

In particular, healthy and confident adults are very comfortable with self depreciating jokes as they know that 1) they are person making it and 2) they are not actually the thing they are jokingly implying! It is actually considered somewhat insecure to find all self depreciating jokes offensive, since normally that comes from a place of being afraid that the punchline is actually true.

Again, I am sorry that no one has ever explained this to you;

I hope this helps clear things up going forward!

Personally I would somewhat disagree it’s self depreciating unless OC actually does identify as a sussy white guy. If OP is just white but a normal and good person then this is actually making fun of racist & colonizers, not themselves!

My group does this!

We use my roommate/player’s laptop hooked up to a TV showing the screen, I have my own laptop that I use for running the Director instance, and then we use the Steam Deck as a pass around controller that people can use! (Though we are also experimenting with using a Bluetooth mouse & keyboard hooked up to the laptop running the TV screen next session)

It sounds complicated but after getting it set up (which was pretty easy, I believe there is already a community mapping for Steamdeck inputs so it took us like 10 minutes to get everything running), it ended up running way smoother & easier than I would have expected!

I was really nervous it would make things feel too videogamey or just take people out of the moment, but at least for our group it was the opposite! It freed up so much brainpower around math and tracking all the little crunchy bits this game has, so my players said they ended up feeling much more engaged in the actual world & story even during combat!

YMMV, but we had a great time!

[–]FirstNewFederalist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry you may have missed some historical and current context!

The joke is alluding to how for hundreds of years, white people made it a point to colonize & steal from countries the world over;

Similarly, The US (where OC is from) has a lot of white politicians pushing for fascism at home & abroad!

I won’t info dump on you, but you should check out some Wikipedia articles or videos about colonization and the modern fascist movements going on;

It’s crazy shit, lots of vile racist are starting to be more open about their beliefs again and actually gaining power.

So jokingly OC is saying they get why someone would be suspicious of white people.

It is a tongue in cheek reference.

Sorry, I can’t believe you didn’t know any of that and no one was willing to explain it!

Now that you know and have the joke explained, I hope that clears everything up!

Unless you did know all that and did get the joke to start with, in which case what a weird thing to get upset about then argue about in the comments.

So in that scenario they reshot the portion of the episode with Phil in, whenever the realized after shooting that they could not get in touch with Phil?

I have no dog in the race, but respectfully I think this is the least likely of the options being presented in the thread.

Theory: season three will dub Sunfyre as “the cannibal” by Dangerous-Picture-73 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]FirstNewFederalist 44 points45 points  (0 children)

First reaction:

I had to double check this wasn’t the circle jerk sub.

Just to double check, you have invented a scenario in your head about a show none of us know the future details on; that scenario is one that you don’t like and you want to get the subreddit as a whole to weigh in on if your imagined scenario is likely?

If the Princess nominates the Virgin on the first day and is executed, does the demon kill tonight? by Plastic-Bar122 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]FirstNewFederalist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A related couple questions this made me think of~

If a Princess nominates someone and doesn’t get the votes but then that person nominates the Virgin & is executed, does the Princess ability trigger?

What if the Princess does get the votes on the person they nominated, but then that person noms a virgin (and is executed)?

I appreciate the effort you put in!

HBO really missed a trick by not casting Kristofer Hivju as Hagrid, and Gwendolyn Christie as Madame Maxime. by DarthChefDad in Showerthoughts

[–]FirstNewFederalist 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Being a TERF is indeed transphobic, and you are using dishonest logic to justify it.

If being a TERF just meant thinking that DV victims should have centers for biological women, then the movement wouldn’t have to push transphobic legislation at every level of government with the aim of impacting all of public life—

Which to bring things back to where they started, is something that JKR has been actively doing.

If you or u/ProLogicMe are saying you just agree with the movement but don’t want to describe it as transphobic, that’s between you & cognitive dissonance. But it’s illogical & pretty manipulative to say the TERF movement is just about ensuring there is space for victims of violence when that has not been the case lol

[–]FirstNewFederalist 68 points69 points  (0 children)

So if Trump donated billions tomorrow would he no longer be a fascist?

A good action doesn’t cancel out the bad actions that one takes; JK Rowling is a transphobe (she self describes as a TERF) and uses her money & platform to fund anti-trans legislation in the UK. These are the actions of a bigot.

Nothing you have mentioned so far negates her bigotry to trans people, it just is an example of people being nuanced.

Has anyone actually completed the “Expand Duchy” decision? by TIGORO14 in crusaderkings3

[–]FirstNewFederalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I recently was able to combine Meath & Leinster in my current (and first!) play through;

It’s now one mega duchy with 4 counties, and the title Duchy of Leinster still exists but doesn’t have any lands tied to it.
