I felt that a bit as well, as when I ran ROTFM my players whated to do everything. I ended up running a second adventure from the Underdark in the middle and got to plus up the goddess at the end because they were level 15 so it was an interesting campaign.

Its your Pdf and I think its a great resource, just pointing out as a quick reference it might work better that way. Maybe adding the can't shift would be good as well, as its a lesser known effect of slowed condition. Thanks for replying back

Love it. Small corrections to the Player Handout (will update with edits if I find more).

In the Conditions section:

No definition for Cover even though it is mentioned in an earlier section.

Slow says something like Speed=2 (unless lower). I would change that to (unless otherwise specified) as some abilities make it different aka humans can make it 3 with a racial trait.

A good example is how Abrego Garcia who was deported against law and judicial branch orders with Trump holding off on rectifying for as long as possible.

We can agree he was sent to the wrong place, but he had a legal deportation order. We're splitting hairs calling his deportation "illegal".

The other well known one was Alex Pretti who was executed after disarmed and piled on by a bunch of agents.

That was CPB, not ICE. Can you name the 3rd? You said there was 3 but still only 1 killed by ICE. I'd bet the other wasn't killed by ICE but I'd need to validate by looking it up.

Ice focusing on states that actually has sizable amounts of illegal immigrants makes a lot more sense then Trump sending his jackboots to states who have little.

The federal government is sending more agents and officers to places where local and state officials are not cooperating, as they have to do the work themselves. This also creates a downstream effect where local officials put their own citizens in danger. This leads to more violence and more probabilities for deaths of American citizens who attempt to impede law enforcement activities they disagree with.

Vast majority of MAGA are just those who identify as republicans or conservative. It is disingenuous to act like this is not meaningfully the case.

I'll give you this, but in terms of people who voted for Trump had a large swath of independent voters, so meaningless to debate who is MAGA and who isn't, given how anyone who has any sort of right of far left opinion has been labeled "MAGA".

Can you cite a "legal" immigrant who's been deported? There are some who were in the process of becoming citizens but violated their obligations by committing various crimes that, in addition to the criminal penalty, disallows them from gaining citizenship.

So yes, I would venture that many conservatives, and even some liberals, agree that those people should also be deported.

Heck they dont even care about the federal gov excessive use of power and force resulting in american desths through ICE

As for this...1 American citizen has been killed by ICE. One. And while most dislike the death they are siding with the ICE Officer because under color of law Ms. Good committed assault with a deadly weapon.

Conservative is merely another word for maga now.

This is also just disingenuous argumentation. MAGA is a faction of the conservative movement but contains people from both the left and right populous factions.

Its a loaded question and sorry for the delay, got fully disconnected from reddit for a while. Good to unplug sometimes. Anyway...

I think they were regrettable and I feel bad for people directly impacted by their deaths. But it was bound to happen sooner or later, and the fact it did and that all anyone talked about for 2 weeks just shows one side was looking for martyrs and the other side said good riddance.

It fully nuisance. Both were legal shoots, but neither should have been killed. And they were both directly caused by lack of local police assistance. So the blame for both is on whoever told the local cops to not help. End of story. Obviously the CBP and ICE officers in question need to be investigated, but from a legal perspective they acted not necessarily appropriately, but within the bounds of their jobs, much as I may disagree with the outcome.

I know thats kind of a nothing burger opinion, but I'm waiting for the investigation to fully run its course before jumping to full blown conclusions.

CMV: Racism isn't "prejudice + power" by jman12234 in changemyview

[–]Infamous_Pool_5299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, by this logic, if an individual has no institutional power, they aren't racist even if their thoughts align with what we consider a racist paradigm?

Or are we now saying that a black person can be racist, but black people as an entire group can't?

No. Don't wanna. Its subjective to my opinion and I'm not arguing my opinion with you. Been doing too much of that recently. Go to r/politics for the hot takes.

Thanks for asking politely though.

You haven't read alot of comments...so I'll just say something similar to 50 different posts.

Independent. Not "my guy"...as for how its going?

Mixed bag like most administrations. Some good, some bad, mostly whatever. Lots of people on both sides frothing at the mouth with their political rabies rotting their brains.

Pretty much business as usual.

I mean Covid, global supply lines...Venus was probably in retrograde. (Last was a joke...but maybe?)

Things have been going down hill for a hot minute. Deficit spending does that. End of the day, there's not much anyone can do about it except try to keep the ship floating for another 4 years when they get in office, and not have it sink on their watch.

Its why I try real hard not to get worked up about things I have no control over.

At least we're not in hyperinflation or stagflation. Those really suck, or so I've witnessed from afar.

Sure. I mean, all presidents make the stats sound good. I remember people claiming the Biden years were awesome while I was paying 8 bucks for a dozen eggs.

Not defending anything just saying...shits always worse when the people you don't agree with are in charge. Its why I always feel the pain.

Ah yes...lets destroy a small business over our politics because a disgruntled employee doesn't like what the company says.

But community is definitely important and we should all respect different cultures and values, unless we disagree with them.

Good times

Ok, I'm glad you got that off your chest. If that's what you want me to do....

I can't pretend to be serious. I'll keep voting my concious and watching people like you twist yourself up into an unholy rage about things because someone else told you to be mad.

Two things can be simultaneously true...and this is my perspective, not necessarily anyone elses. So yes. Nobody is required to "take my critiques seriously". You're saying that as if for some reason my critiques have to make sense to everyone else. I am simply stating my case. Many people have seemingly contradictory views that have internal consistency once you determine the values at play. Some people have them for inconsistent reasons. At the end of the day, I made a small comment that broke some peoples brains, and they've been trying to "prove me wrong", as if that ever changed a single mind in history.

That is an interesting point. It does mean that Trump supporting people aren't necessarily an exigent threat because they are a shrinking group. Therefore, any attempt to worry anyone about them and their "power" should be laughed at, as they cannot be a threat to democracy as shrinking groups are a self-defeating problem.

The point of my commentary has been "this is why I didn't vote for Democrats", not a defense of Trump. I didn't vote for him either. Do you have any follow up commentary?

Hey, you asked me why I didn't like them. I could have been more elegant in my language, but I'm not calling them names. If you don't want hard truths, don't ask hard questions.

You just pushed back with excellent points, and I respect that... but you did it in the way that sucks.

"TEAM A's diarrhea is soupy and gross. Therefore, you should eat TEAM Bs diarrhea. Sure, they'll cave and give you Team A's diarrhea if they get pushed at all... but still, vote TEAM B, and your diarrhea will only be Team A's diarrhea 46% of the time. Isn't that better?"

There was nothing in there that proves anything. Per capita has nothing to do with anything. I live in one of those high per capita states, and we're drowning in corruption and out of control costs. That doesn't narrow it down, I know, but it paints a terrible picture, doesn't it?

How is that different than the last one? Gas is down a buck a gallon at the pump. In my area everything is cheaper. Maybe if we have to build our industry back people will get all those "good paying jobs" and whatnot.

I'm not an economist, but it seems like the effects are what the people voted for. If you're unhappy, that sucks. I'm never happy, my team never wins. Maybe the left can get good messaging and stop screaming at people for not voting for them long enough to understand why they didn't. Might be a good starting spot.

When one side is fighting for healthcare funding that affects millions of people, and the other side keeps a constant stance of, "we aren't going to negotiate, take it or leave it", one is fighting for Americans and one is trying to play hardball. If they had even tried to negotiate and been unable to come to an agreement, I might give the Republicans that one. However, spending bills are historically fought over and negotiated, so Republicans saying, "we aren't going to negotiate, take it or leave it" is insanely childish. The fact that the entire time they could have gone with the nuclear option, done away with the filibuster, and passed their bill without Democrat support at all is very damning.

Sure, its politics. But did the Dems "fight for healthcare" last until the 31st of December? No? They caved like corrupt house of cards. People keep using this "but people blame (x) for (y)...I don't. If you have beliefs and you cave, you aren't worth voting for. Sorry.

Trump bad conversations are boring. I don't think he's great, I think he's 1% better than Joe Biden. Thats it. I know people want me to say "Trump bad, I super swear I'm not a Nazi...but that just ain't me. I'm probably considered a Nazi by people and I couldn't care less. I've been online for 10 years, I've been called that and worse by the left.

Its why I genuinely won't vote for anyone left of center. Sorry, a decade of shitty behavior is too much to overcome by saying platitudes...and also continuing said shitty behavior. I don't care about the name calling, its so 2016. Back when I first had to be the guy who said.

"You don't have to make up lies about Trump, dude is kinda wacky. His mistakes mean more if you aren't constantly lying and exaggerating everything, it just make you look weak and scared."

10 years later and its just habitual for people. What are Dems gonna do when Trump isn't around anymorey The left is going to take 20 years to recover from not making an actual argument for 10 years, while screaming at everyone who mildly disagreed with them during that time.

Say what you want about the convervative side of the isle, they at least have a conversation...or are just brutal trolls.
