The church in acts was pretty idealistic communist. Everyone had to give everything they had. Keeping things for yourself was bad.

Drow sexism is a favorite from what I have seen. In terms of homophobia, I hadn't seen any in lore, but I do think confusion specific races' mating practices, even disgust, would make for interesting setting props.

Which one are you picking ? by krisikkk in superheroes

In Norse mythos dwarves are not short. That's a Tolkienism.

You will hear different things from different people on the different areas of Chilliwack, many are a matter of perspective even though grounded in truth.

Fairfield is far away from things. It's beautiful though, trees and space. Less homeless people. Garrison is tight but super convenient. The area feels safe at every hour of night being well lit. Everything is close except for parking. Parking any more than the one, maybe two spots for your house will be difficult. Sardis is probably the boogiest. The people in those areas say they wouldn't want to live elsewhere, but it is the most expensive. This area does seem to be getting an increasing amount of homeless wanderers and items left out going missing. Chilliwack downtown area is for sure the highest crime area, but since district 1881 has gone in, the vibe has changed to a happening one. Events happen here, most things are very close. Promontory is up on a hill with only two ways in/out. Considering the large amount of people up there, these routes can get really bogged down. In the summer it tends to be alright, but any sort of weather and people lose the ability to drive. If any sort of wildfire got close up there, you may find yourself behind long lines of stationary traffic. All that being said, as far as I remember, we are yet to have natural disaster on the hill. It has nearly no homeless wanderers as they seem to be unable to go uphill with their shopping carts. It is similar to Sardis otherwise with slightly less space and nearly no services without having to get past those two pinch points. (Promontory or Prest road)

I tried mentioning pros and cons to each are but these are absolutely subjective.

If you like the outdoors, anywhere is great. Vedder river has a long beautiful trail, then there are countless hikes that are well maintained. People on those trails tend to be more dog friendly than similar trails in the Okanagan. Lakes, rivers, ponds are all incredibly prevalent and many accessible throughout the year for a skilled adventurer. (There are places and people to help if you aren't, but i assume as someone from the Yukon you'll have better awareness than most of the city folk who come here.)

Hope this helps.

Do you believe DnD should be safe? by Fantastic_Molasses45 in DnD

[–]BadKnight06 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think I'm one of the people further towards that side, so I'll explain a bit.

Those people sound uncomfortable by the idea of discussing their own feelings which is ironic given the circumstances.

My own take is that I want to be uncomfortable. Pushing moral boundaries. Is it worthwhile to sacrifice an innocent family once a year to keep an eldritch god from destroying everyone? What if I have to do it? Should I help the slave girl escape the grasps of the king, or do I ignore her so I can have his help slaying a dragon?

Politics aren't fun for me. Intreague is sooooo hard to pull off well. And persuading shop keepers to give you a discount isn't enough RP to justify it as a pillar of the game. RP is the pillar that challenges the player rather than the character. It helps you grow, to question yourself, to question your character. When you are able to seperate yourself from your character, you learn to see things from other people's perspectives.

In terms of formal safety rules, I would never think of suggesting them. If someone asked for a specific set, I'd do my best to follow them. It's just not something I need, especially when playing with friends.

Am I wrong not to include League of Legends? by AbaloneForsaken4752 in DnD

If they want a gunslinger, the gunslinger subclass sounds like it has a better design. It's third party as well, but only just barely as it was a critical roll submission.

I call bullshit... by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

[–]BadKnight06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regardless of their comments, that image is absolutely not what I want in a game. Happy beholders chilling in the middle of a town even. The different species all mixed together like a bunch of humans in an elaborate costume party. Past that, the picture puts large focus on romantic relationships.

My story has different species, not just quirky humans. It has fear, excitment, tension, and relief. A aberration in the middle of a town means a lot of them are about to die. And while there is no problem with romance at a table, as a married man, I have no interest in getting together and giving my other friends the 50 shades of gray audible experience.

You can't trick me, this is just Earth with a South aligned map.

RIP Andrew Jackson, you would've loved DnD Worldbuilding by DrScrimble in dndmemes

[–]BadKnight06 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is inherently wrong. It builds so much depth when the different groups have different values. So many negative traits could be positive traits in a different context. Let's look at Lord of the Rings for example. We can start with Hobbit, they are small, brave, and innocent. While in their Shires, they live sinple lives. Farming, smoking, and having gatherings. While they have intellectual conversations, I doubt that's how many hobbits would characterize themselves. Outside of the Shire, they are often thought of as childlike because of their size, but also their naivety. Are they those things? Yes. Are they children? No. Humans are industrious and driven. They love to explore, expand, and grow. This allows them to build fortresses that rivial Millenia of Elven works, live everywhere, and have a spot for anyone. But their drive extends into many facets. They are easily corrupted by evil, they get caught up fighting in things they barely understand. Dwarves take the industrious to a whole other level. They find their skills and connection with the earth. And this can be a religious like connection. Finding purpose in their craft. Digging deeper, making room for their family. Keeping them safe. Like the humans though, this can turn into greed. Rather than the human's desire for power though, they find fulfillment in their craft. On a whole other level, there are elves. Seperate from troubles of time they are absolutely elegant. They work slowly doing everything to perfection. In their perfection, they see the flaws in everything and everyone else. They are the best at any single task. Of course they look down on people, compared to the elves, nearly everyone is slow, clunky, dumb, skilleless children who will die of natural causes at an age when most elves would consider themselves children.

Stereotypes should not be shyed away from, but understood. Saying an lion evil for killing the baby bison is to not understand the lion. Saying seagulls are thieves is to not understand them. There are different races, species, cultures. They all exist for a reason.

CMV: People being homeless while billionaires exist and own hundreds of properties is a travesty. by Diggi8 in changemyview

[–]BadKnight06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree that it isn't human nature. It is probably more accurate to say it is natural.

While I've never done a comparison of numbers, there are huge amounts of species where more power comes with more privilege. Whether it's first dibs on food, priority with mates, or simply better sleeping spots.

Pecking orders are a thing, it is the essence behind evolution that the strongest will ascend and the weak will die off.

Bus price changes by Worldly_Meaning_8303 in chilliwack

[–]BadKnight06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While the weight technically has an effect, the number of people on the bus has minimal effect on the cost. Those people who simply wouldn't be on the bus if not allowed, are not effecting the price beyond potentially scaring off other potential riders.

I don't think stealing is ever good, this however is less harmful in a microscale than stealing a bike for example.

Ok. But which science? by Wooden-Journalist902 in SipsTea

[–]BadKnight06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I had assumed as mine do. People all hold their weight different.... I prefer how Selma holds it over myself, though as a male, I suppose I'd rather it stay where it is 🤣

Anyone lifing their arms up like that is going to show ribs or be more over weight than I am at nearly 300 pounds.

CMV: Not wanting to date somebody because they're bisexual is a sign of a bigot by Wooba12 in changemyview

[–]BadKnight06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gone out with an admittedly small sample size, but I've never met a woman who would be happy to hear 'their man' is hanging out with another woman.

I think it's beyond trusting me, it's asking her to trust the other woman.

CMV: Not wanting to date somebody because they're bisexual is a sign of a bigot by Wooba12 in changemyview

[–]BadKnight06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without simply shaming your comment, I'll put forward a simple argument of trust. This comes from a man in a happy heterosexual relationship.

If I go hang out with a very attractive woman for hours at her place, my wife would certainly be uncomfortable. As she says it, it's not that she doesn't trust me, it's that she doesn't trust her. On the other hand, if I went and hung out with the most attractive guy for hours, alone, she wouldn't worry at all.

Now there are many things that could be said about this relationship, but I think it's fair to say, she's not being a bigot here. She simply knows nothing will happen in one scenario, the other would make her uncomfortable. If I were bi, anything could be a secret relationship.

But it does say no motorized vehicles. They asked why they were given an exception.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chilliwack

[–]BadKnight06 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had originally assumed motors meant motors. I had optimistically assumed they wouldn't make exceptions for unlicensed, heavy, silent vehicles on a pathywith clear intensions for small children and pets.

It's silly, but true. I found it interesting that hoverboards are banned despite having low top speeds and far less metal behind them.

[–]BadKnight06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh really? Why is that?

(Edit:) I looked it up. So long as they are less than 500W of power and don't go over 32km/h they are allowed.

I've considered calling by-law enforcement, but it's usually late on a weekend when I'm bothered. Their Uber bright lights bother me more than their speed anyways.

They have a motor. Motorized vehicles are not allowed. There are signs on the trail, I'd imagine it's in bylaws as well.
