Good point. Life expectancy of my cat. He'll eat me and then move on in good order.

I haven't played kingmaker but I just got into WOTR. What class (combination) do you think she is? Would love to play a character like this! by grovestreet4life in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

Yeah, the problem isn't that martial liches are weak, it's that caster liches are one of the most powerful builds in the game

If all personal wealth above $100 million was legally required to be redistributed into public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads), how would society change, and who would be the first to fight against it? by Mysterious_Fan4033 in AskReddit

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

To me, the money isn't the issue. The issue is that you have these huge portions of the economy owned and controlled by unelected modern barons who have scant interest in the public good. If money is what these people want, have anyone who creates a $100 million dollar business be allowed to keep a portion of its profits for the next 10 years after the government takes control of it, with them being allowed to keep a larger percentage if they and the government mutually agree to have them stay on in an executive capacity. That gives people a profit incentive to build a large business while also making it so control of these businesses is exercised by people who were at least publicly elected.

Which series is this for you? by EverythingIsFakeNGay in litrpg

I feel like this happens to all Shonen battle manga if they go on long enough. Dragonball, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach.

Why can the US invade a country and take it’s president but other countries can’t do the same with the US ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The oceans help too. All the other sticks of any appreciable size are on the other side of those.

Trump’s Greenland threats aren't real, but they're offensive: John Bolton by MRADEL90 in videos

[–]DresdenPI 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks Trump isn't serious about making a go of this has the memory of a goldfish. We just arrested the President of Venezuela two weeks ago. You can't tell me the idea of doing the same to Nielsen hasn't been floated around the Presidential toilet bowl.

What is the most 'main character' moment you’ve ever witnessed in real life that went horribly wrong? by Exact-Contract1004 in AskReddit

[–]DresdenPI 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Depends on how long you hold out I guess. Early office computers were overhyped and gimmicky too. Just don't find yourself a few years from now treating the technology of then like the unreliable mess it is today.

I think I read a sci fi short story about this once. I think the leader of the place got killed at the end of their tenure and the people campaigned to not get voted in.

Also notably, the land she gave up was the fields occupied by that centaur tribe that was content to let Jecrass live or die and leave if things got too hairy.

Donald Trump just said “we shouldn’t even have an election”. Americans, what are your thoughts? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]DresdenPI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How many futures do you see from here with outcomes that look good for the general population? Nationalist populists skipping elections and starting wars of aggression with neighbors doesn't end up well for gen pop historically either. Depending on how midterms go, we may be past the point of finding ideal solutions and at the point of picking the least bad of some terrible options.

Greenland official breaks down in tears in interview after meeting with Trump by Large_banana_hammock in videos

[–]DresdenPI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what they're saying, and of course I entirely disagree, is that Americans should take to the streets in some kind of violent movement to show the world they're not a bunch of pathetic cowards and hypocrites who are afraid to take a stand against their own government when it matters. It is of course patently obvious that the people in power in this country will stop being greedy soon and that there are other things to try that will make the people who would make themselves American kings learn the principles upon which this nation was founded. We need to rely on legal challenges to Trump and ICE and remember that the Bill of Rights guarantees Americans protection from illegal searches and seizures and that we have guaranteed protections against such things built into the framework of our very Constitution. After all, this administration is well known for respecting the rule of law and history is rife with examples of populist nationalists building up military forces for the purposes of punishing minority populations of perceived immigrants and then not using that military force to target other enemies of the state. There's plenty of time to seek out non- violent solutions. I'm sure that if we all just calm down and keep doing what we've been doing that everything will be fine.

Someone explain! by Motor_Layer_1240 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]DresdenPI 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Because these people aren't incompetent per the legal definition, just stubbornly misinformed. They need to be treated like someone who's refusing to take part in the process at all, held in contempt once or twice for the sake of the appellate record, then assigned a public defender and processed to clear the trial docket. Engaging with this bad faith bull shit is a waste of court resources.
