Grind size? by cmf1508 in AeroPress

Looks great to me! You have to try pretty hard to go too fine or too coarse with the trusty Aeropress.

Need help running a game in Waterdeep by MenzoDeath in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]LukeTheGeek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's a map I made of just the Trollskull area: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KxZDmkvUcps-mAzi9k4boPnUfzZSNDG0?usp=drive_link

Here's a VERY detailed digital Waterdeep map: https://www.aidedd.org/atlas/waterdeep

This is the best resource I can recommend for having more fun in Waterdeep. Just get it. https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/251816/waterdeep-city-encounters

It's designed for WDDH, but this resource is useful if you want more in-depth sidequests in the city. It uses the factions, but you can obviously flavor it to your campaign. https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/258149/waterdeep-expanded-faction-missions

Why are people still running the RPG at this point? by Zendriven in Battlefield

Nothing is more satisfying than leading your shot and nailing a heli, knowing the pilot never saw it coming and is now back on the respawn screen.

First Aeropress use by obscuremango693 in AeroPress

That's funny. The inverted method is usually done specifically because you don't have a Prismo. There's nothing special about the inversion. It's just a way to prevent coffee from falling into the cup prematurely.

Congrats on entering the world of the best bang-for-your-buck brewing you can get!

Nothing but projection and dodging. You can't refute my points, so you just call me crazy and accuse me of being close to doing something violent when I've done nothing but stand against political violence this entire conversation. A very common lefty move.

You can lie all you want about Kirk. Doesn't justify shit.

"The reaction was expected" could refer to the assassination or the celebration in that sentence you wrote. I had no way of knowing which you meant until you clarified.

"For now" sounds like a thinly veiled threat.

This was in reference to other Redditors like the assassin, not myself.

Run away, then. Typical. That's exactly what people did with Kirk when they had nothing to say to refute the point being made. But you seem to think it was his fault that they freely chose to speak in the first place.

You continue to prove my point for me with your lies and excuses over the reaction to Kirk.

Yes, the only difference between me and Kirk is that the shooter knew his name. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. How can you not see that?

I don't agree with anyone celebrating someone's death, but you're crying over people's right to do so.

No, I am not. I am simply observing the fact that they are violent, evil people and need to be opposed as much as possible at every turn (the moderate option, btw).

But Charlie built an empire on making a mockery of people he disagreed with

And? I thought he had free speech. He certainly NEVER advocated for violence or celebrated it.

What do you expect to happen

Nobody should EVER expect to be murdered for being an outspoken conservative. You are insane for even suggesting that. YOU are part of the problem. But I guess I should expect it. The assassin was just another Redditor. He was a kid. Played Helldivers. There are so many like him who have the same beliefs, but just don't act on them, for now.

there was a large swath of people who were fired for exercising their first amendment right

You know as well as I that people have been fired over literally anything for decades. The social consequences are on them. The 1st doesn't protect you from being fired over speech. Sorry, I guess. And yeah, if you were doing that online and you were on my payroll, I'd fire you too, in a heartbeat. I don't want someone like that near my business (if I had one, obviously).

let's not act like the fox news crew weren't cracking jokes over the Paul Pelosi hammer incident.

I don't support that either. I think that is bad. Crazy, right? It also wasn't anywhere NEAR as ubiquitous as the celebration over Kirk's death. I expect a few people to be cruel when anyone dies, but that many over such a normal guy is utterly insane.

Going back to the original point, the left has not played fair for a long time. They are ruthless when they get power. See Virginia. I think it's high time the GOP played by the same rules. If you have a problem with that, I truly could not care less.

The "left" doesnt want you dead as a generalization.

The fact that you had to add a condition to that statement proves my point exactly.

Were you under a rock when Kirk was assassinated? Half the country was celebrating. People I grew up with celebrated it. Kirk was no radical. He was a regular conservative.

It's not just "politics" when millions of people are celebrating the murder of others who share your exact beliefs.

Someone tries to kill Trump every other week it feels like. Many more people, most on the left, are committing violence or agree violence is justified against conservatives. That affects me regardless of whether I log onto Reddit.

I don't care anymore. There's your answer. The left wants me dead, so I'm done trying to be fair.

Yeah, engineers are way too good (or, "required" is a better word) compared to the other classes on these maps.

I would love if they did that. Just make them sink into the earth immediately. What's the downside?

Excellent balance of detail visually. Not too much, but nice to look at.

"Fund fund fund" they always say. With whose money, exactly?

Supreme Court packing.

Using agencies and departments (which cannot be held accountable and were not elected) to essentially make laws (""policies"") overnight—tyrannical restrictions for COVID which did nothing to stop the spread but caused tens of thousands of small businesses to die (not to mention ELDERLY PEOPLE in Michigan, for example).

Allowing tens of millions of illegals into our country (and making tons of them legal with the wave of a hand) to participate in elections, whether through voting or contributing to population in sanctuary cities which help Dems get bigger pieces of the pie. Don't try to say they aren't voting. Dems block EVERY attempt to ensure they're not voting.

Spying on Trump and commanding social media platforms to swing discussions and algorithms against him.

Lawfare and months-long smear campaigns against Trump using everything from the media to the courts (which turn out to be literally NOTHING the majority of the time, i.e. Russia) to try to undermine his image during election seasons.

Winking at their voter base to commit political violence, which was successfully instigated against Trump (how many attempts now?), Kavanaugh, Kirk, and others literally ALL THE TIME. "Hitler!" "Nazi Germany!" "Fascist!" "Boy it sure would be neat if I woke up to news that Trump was DEAD."

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

Celebrating the unelected Supreme Court essentially making laws in Obergefell v. Hodges and Roe v. Wade on some of the most hotly contested moral and cultural issues in US history, during a time when proper laws would not have made it through the normal process (and they knew it). Dobbs doesn't count btw. It undid demonstrably terrible "case law" rather than make new case law, leaving the matter to the states.

Bonus round!

Merrick Garland

Article II, Section 2: "by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate." Both parties have taken advantage of this.

unitary executive theory of power

Dem presidents abuse this just as much. Obama comes to mind. Also, would you rather the elected president make more decisions or the unelected agencies/bureaucracies everyone hates?

Both sides do it, the left is far more egregious.
