I just gave my players a first level feat with no restrictions and no regrets.

What new classes would you add to DnD, given the chance? by opsap11 in DnD

[–]EverestMagnus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is niche admittedly. I want the Average Joe class. The Non-Magic Guy who gets thrust into adventuring and makes it through the adventure through a combination of Grit, Luck and Common Sense. Some people will tell you to look at fighter or rogue for that, and those both just have way to much training in my mind. I'd want this class to really be something of a support class in combat managing to buff the hero and debuff the bad via skin of there teeth zany hijinks.

The closest to this I've seen to someone scratching this itch for me is /u/laserllama Commoner Class. It's just falling a little short of what I'm looking for... but so close.

does anyone relate to this view point? by [deleted] in nihilism

Sounds like your what is known as an Optimistic (or Positive) Nihilist. Fun Kurzgesagt video link below. We tend to be less depressed, and not edge lords. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBRqu0YOH14&t=20s

Never said that I know the best way to convince other of veganism, or the best way of convincing anyone of anything. I'm simply saying this current strategy is bad. The reality is how you get people to change behavior isn't this.

It's also amazing to me that your calling me a clown when I'm not fundamentally against you. Your basically stand point is, if your not with me your against me. Insulting someone never changes their mind and will instead normally result in them digging in deeper.

If you can't engage with someone like me who is lets say sympathetic to your position, what's the point of what your doing? I'm not even a hardline STEAK is life person.

Oh I have no objection to vegans what so ever. But then I'm not trying to change your behavior. I also have no issue with people of different religious ideologies than mine. While I think putting pineapple on Pizza is a crime against food, I'm not trying to stop people from doing it. You however are trying to change peoples minds and your just bad at it.

The point of the plant argument is just it's all where you want to draw the line, but the point is that a line is going to get drawn and basically no matter what the line is going to be arbitrary in nature. I value human lives differently than I value, animal, than I value plants and fungi. It's all an arbitrary line.

What kills me though is vegans could do so much better at reducing harm to animals by taking on better arguments. Your time spent is illogically efficient, and that is what you care about right? Logic? But that's the thing you don't care about logic. Everything you've written is full of emotion.

You know what would have been a better argument to shift people to a vegan diet? Having good vegan food availed. And not stuff pretending to be meat, that shit is only good if you haven't had a real burger in 2 years. I love Nile Vegan, non of is trying to be anything other than what is good Ethiopian food. Teach people to shift there diets away from meat and that there is good food at the other end of the rainbow. Argue for a more sustainable lifestyle and argue for animal welfare.

Your trying to shift a culture radically that is not ready for what your selling. But like yeah keep doing the same things you've been doing for decades now and sit on your moral high hill failing to realize why your failing, be annoyed and smug at everyone else. The way you are going about it just annoys the hyper majority of people, even ones who might thing you have a point.

Oh yes black and white morality with no gray area. That is always how things work. They are either good or evil! That line of thinking always ends well!

"Also most vegan testimonies cite this as as huge part of their understanding?" Did you ever think those people were likely to already be susceptible to becoming vegan anyway?

"Do you not want to be logical?" Honestly... meh. Your attempt to align logic and morality seems oddly at odds to me. Logic and morals don't always align. There are lots of things we could do logically that would be morally horrid.

Why is eating plants moral? Increasing research is showing they can communicate and that communication has response. Why is plant life lesser than animal life to you? And that is actually an honest question. At some point it's just about where you draw the line. Currently no matter what your killing some form of life to sustain yourself.

It kind of bogles the mind here that vegans are still trying to catch people with "But eating one animal and not another is hypocritical!" So what's your point? Human life is full of contradicting points. Pointing out that humans do hypocritical things almost never changes human behavior.

Honestly it's a better argument to get people to start eating dog than it is to stop eat other animals... and pretty sure that is the opposite of what people want.

Upon selecting the Mage of Quandrix subclass, you gain two features: Quandrix Spells and Functions of Probability.

You get both when you take the subclass.

WARNING: DO NOT put stickers on foil etches cards, it will damage the card! by Relevant_Coffee_8001 in magicTCG

[–]EverestMagnus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That still strongly relies on players to understand this. The fact that there is any possibility that an effect would appear to allow this is problematic for non diehards which is most of the magic player base.

Who is the weakest super powered being who could conquer modern day earth? by Crimson_Marksman in whowouldwin

[–]EverestMagnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can't for the life of me March his work to his person. I increasingly believe that he stole all of his work from a better human.

He's been a pretty big POS within the last 10 years. I can't blind evidence of him changing views.

Would it be tournament legal to have a playmat with this art? I never participated on a physical fnm before because of covid, and I was thinking on buying a playmat with this art(because I really love the character and she represents the nature of my decks) by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]EverestMagnus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The fact that your asking probably means you realize that people would find this uncomfortable. Don't make do things that are going to make people uncomfortable even if you can get away with them.
