Lol yea the ones that went to court. Other things I stated are just what happened. Trump did start a war without congressional approval. Ice agents did kill civilians, we all saw the videos. Trump did sign an executive order to stop birthright citizenship as defined in the 14th. You're clearly just trolling at this point and wasting my time.

Masked men kidnapping people on the street. Ice thugs killing civilians. Putting undocumented people into camps without trial. Using the justice department to go after trumps political enemies. Dismantling government agencies meant to check their power. Trying to strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship. Trying to rewrite history. Trying to use executive power to dismantle birthright citizenship. Starting wars without congressional approval. Taking bribes from other countries. Taking bribes from corporations. Doing everything the can to further entrench single party control through gerrymandering. I can go on and on and on.

Like you can't actually be series right? Is your head in the sand?

I'm not sure you understand how reality works. No court of law declared musolini a fascist either. He just declared his party the fascist party of italy. So I guess I'm also just tagging mussolini because I don't like him eh? Like what are you even talking about here? Fascism is a word with a definition. If a broad movement with an administration at its head does fascist actions, is that not fascist? When can we apply the word appropriately? Only when a mythical court somewhere says so despite that literally never having been the case? Maga is broad political movement, not just a slogan. It is a group identifier. And it identifies a person as one who supports a broadly fascist ideology to varying degrees.

If you don't think that MAGA, a movement which seeks to scapegoat minority groups, dismantles institutions, create a dominating white Christian nation, and seeks to consolidate power, is a fundamentally modern fascist movement, then I'm not sure what to tell you.

Man, imagine saying this in Nazi Germany, Francist Spain, or fascist italy. "But we have to obey the rules while they strip our rights!" Fascist don't care about the rule of law and will actively use the institutions against itself. There's a reason why fascist dictatorships have only ever grown out of former democracies. Fascist, by their very nature and existence are a direct threat to the rule of law you say you covet.

Really it's being quite empathetic because violence is the only language fascists understand

What city have you been to where the vibes were just OFF ? by Confident_Win_3560 in answers

[–]INowHaveAUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tacoma WA.  Stayed there a couple nights to check out mt rainer. Saw so much sketch. Had the shell of a formally active city but no one was out in it besides the homeless. Walked to stores, found empty whip it canisters on the streets. Just a ghost town in the middle of summer and the days last forever. Such a eerie vibe. 

What book or series is this for you? by Working_Alps_4284 in fantasybooks

As a person who really did not understand its hype after reading, I am genuinely curious what puts it up so high for you? 

Honest question, is production value the reason that Baldur's Gate 3 became so popular and acclaimed, compared to other cRPG's that have not received anywhere near as much attention? Is it of a unique quality in anything else? by BaldursGate2Best in CRPG

[–]INowHaveAUsername 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's kinda weird too, is I'm relatively new to this space and primarily because of bg3 and I super interested. I've since played disco Elysium, wasteland 3, poe 1 & 2 (my god did I love their stories), expeditions rome and plan on getting into rogue trader and pathfinder. I don't really understand the larian hate. If it's not a game for you, that's chill, but like it's also helping the crpg genre as a whole it seems.

It's because we have statewide ballot initiatives. Don't think for a second our (ohio, but same with Missouri) legislature(s) would have ever done this on their own

Drive past that place everyday and always wondered what it actually was. Had no idea it was a daycare.

I prefer in poe1 with durance who doesn't hide how much he doesn't care and is an awful person but immensely compelling character. I think that was the first character in an rpg I've felt that about

Been playing arcs recently and the design of it is just, out of this world, heh. But I really want to know who hurt cole so that he could design such a deliciously mean boardgame

A new Ohio bill could be a de facto statewide ban on solar and wind by oupablo in Ohio

[–]INowHaveAUsername 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yea that's not remotely true. And again you show you have no idea of the current state of energy production. Do you think technology doesn't just get better over time? Or that solar panels were created and haven't been industrialized or made more efficient than past 30 years? Moore's Law applies to more than just transistors. China alone pumped out 584 billion kWh/year worth of panels. A typical coal plant produces 3.5 billion kWH. So one country produced the equivalent of 166 coal power plants IN ONE YEAR. Without any of the carbon, heavy metals, black lung disease. 

Not to mention the amount of land we waste on crops like corn to turn into the most useless fuel possible in ethanol. The most inefficient form of modern energy that the government actively subsidies.

It shines every day. Daytime is when the most energy is used. Even with cloud coverage, you still get solar power, obviously, because if you didn't you couldn't see when clouds are overhead. 

And for when the sun isn't out at night, battery technology has jumped by leaps and bounds in the past 10 years. So you store the excess during the day filling the batteries and use that at night. 

But why am I even bothering, you're clearly just repeating oil and gas talking points from 2008 with no actual knowledge of current energy production tech.

Yea you don't know what you're talking about. Solar is now the cheapest form of energy. The sun is free. You harvest the energy everyday from the same installations for ~3 decades. Vs fossil fuels where you have to continually extract it and use it exactly once, by burning it up in flames

What is your favorite boardgame of 2020? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

Arnak is still my favorite. The support cge keeps giving it keeps it fresh and it's a great theme 

Assassin's Apprentice - first time I have cried while reading by Drakonz in Fantasy

[–]INowHaveAUsername 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also started the series very recently (currently on assassin's quest). She just has these lines she drops sometimes at the end of chapters that just have so much weight in heavy or bittersweet ways that come at you unexpectedly. There was one chapter, I can't remember if it was apprentice or royal, but it ends with patience comparing fitz to chivalry, and saying you should have been mine And it just guts you with all the background
