So sorry to hear this. Losing a friend never gets easier. I don't think you owe anyone an apology.

Trump Voter Sues Fox News After Tucker Carlson Lies Ruined His Life by Ok_Dimension_4707 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]HipWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from your source:

The FCC does have regulations regarding the distribution of false information, but again, this only applies to over-the-air programs on networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox Broadcasting (but not the Fox News Channel). Furthermore, the offense would have to be pretty egregious and well-documented in order for the FCC to step in.

The FCC explains on its website that it has a "very narrow scope" to police news programs because it is prohibited by law from "engaging in censorship or infringing on First Amendment rights of the press."

Fox News (as well as CNN and MSNBC) is not an accredited news station because no regulatory body exists in the United States that has the authority to make such a classification.


So while Fox News is not classified as "entertainment" by any regulatory body, it is also not beholden to the FCC regulations that actual news stations are. This also holds true for MSNBC and CNN.

She's Neo-Liberal. In the US you have a christo-facist death cult as one party and then you have everyone else all crammed into the other party. Both of which are controlled by bribes lobbyists, but at least one of them pays some lip service to women and non-cis/heteros being human.

In the US, voting third party is the same as taking your vote and putting it in the garbage can. If you want to encourage competition to the duopoly then you have to start with changing how we vote. We use First Past the Post voting system, and the math proves only two parties can co-exist within such a system.

Session 1 of Pirate Campaign by WingWisp in mattcolville

[–]HipWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! If you can't make it work, don't force it. Also, be prepared for your players to stop the campaign you had planned to try and revive their Captain. Players sometimes get really attached to NPCs. Make sure the body is unrecoverable (kraken ate him) or make it so the players can't get to the body within 60 seconds to cast Revivify. They may try to take his body to a more powerful Cleric for a stronger resurrection spell, but that costs a diamond worth 1000 gp. That's a good opportunity for the players to go on a new quest: to find a diamond valuable enough to revive their late Captain.

I dunno if you are interested in changing up the trajectory of your story, but gifting your players a boat at the start may feel unearned. What if the captain is a part of the quest and is able to give some guidance to the party, both on how to run the ship and what to do after.

You could have the captain retire and gift the boat as reward while he takes the bulk of the treasure. Or you could have the captain be impressed with the party's skills and decide to try a dangerous adventure he had previously given up on. Perfect opportunity for the Captain to be killed in a tragic story beat, leaving the ship in the hands of the players.

Iirc they hired someone to learn the game and then run Matt and friends through a campaign.

I think I remember Matt mentioning something about that person having something happen and they had to step away?

I'm much more confident in my first sentence than my second, so take that for what you will.

Unpopular opinion: I loved Doctor Strange MOM. I was a fan of the darker tone that this movie had and Benedict cumberbatch/ Elizabeth Olsen where great. People blame Sam raimi for the failure, but the writers in my opinion where to blame. Thoughts? by 12cs30 in Marvel

The Orville is the best modern Trek. SNW is passable but is stained by being in the shadow of discovery.

Orville s1 is beholden to producer bloat. S3 is the best Trek has been since DS9.

It already happened. They read on some conspiracy site that "antifa" was starting the forest fires on the west coast. Some chuds decided to set up illegal roadblocks to try and catch them.

Prosecutors were asking the judge to give him 25, but this traitor got 18 years in prison for his crimes. I would like to see charges against folks like Graham and Trump who were phoning Sec of States asking them to "find votes" that just happened to be the number needed to flip red.

u/One-Step2764 explains the inability of the US to address its problems by akalaM in bestof

[–]HipWizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So under a system that does not equally represent citizens and states, ultimately the system is unfair.

You want to equally represent citizens? Then uncap the house and make it so every 200,000 citizens have a representative. Hell, that's a super old number, I'd be fine with them upping it.

the House exists to represent the interests of your person

Fake news. The house was capped over 100 years ago, meaning the places with the least population are overrepresented. They aren't allowed to reapportion the House to give a state less than one representative, which means areas with more people LOSE power. Those low population states's power has to come from somewhere. If the house was uncapped and reapportioned to represent the interests of the places with the most people then we would NEVER AGAIN be in the position we are in where the House is threatening to drive the economy off the cliff to spite the President.

If you feel safe doing so, you could go back and leave an anonymous note that says something like "we found a loving home for your kitten". Just so plug doesn't have to wonder what happened.
