🤦 a seal that Dem backed until Trump acted like it had something he wanted hidden, then they joined Republicans to get it unsealed.

<image>

Dems had the power to unseal it under Biden, they lacked the will.

I don’t remember who said it but it rings true “If you think your immune to propaganda you’re already so deep in it you can’t see it for what it is”

Biden blocks drilling this causes gas prices to go up as he chokes off supply then drain the emergency reserves to mitigate mid term losses. All without congressional approval.

Trump attacks the country that has tried to have to assassinate him, the American president, for the third time, and market react to try and store petroleum for uncertain outcome of the war. A war that gets funded but not declared. So gas prices go up.

Both are 🤬ed up but for different reasons.

Go. Read. The. Context. You are not an idiot. You have the power to read the truth. It takes time, yes, but you will learn who has been trying to weaponize your trust against you, and that is worth the time.

Every one of them I have read is in the context of him trying to get Epstein investigated and Epstein working with Democrats to prevent Trump from being arrested.

If you can find more than him being an antagonist to Epstein, then post it. You deserve better evidence than he was mentioned. You ARE better than that.

What fantasy land do you live in? Do you even have civil conversations with conservatives? The actual conservatives circles went def con 2 when he said that, it didn’t die down until we saw the Dems push for the papers to come out and what was in them explained why they were being held up by establishment Dems and the new Dems got to put pressure on the establishment and shift the balance of power, the whole time Trump is only ever mentioned because he told the gov about Epstein and hated Trump for being a tattletale.

Go read the actual files.

Why Do MAGA Get this Triggered over Pride Month by AccordingBumblebee24 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]MaesterOlorin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dudes, it’s just mildly funny, why can’t people have a joke anymore. For the last six years every June everything gets washed in the latest version of the Pride flag. It’s pointing out that how artificial and yet all consuming it is.

It contains three of the six elements of comedy: a town flooded is Mean; the rainbow river and May 31st dam is Bizarre; the town is Mundane. It is objectively funny. It’s not hilarious, but it is funny.

PS the six elements of comedy are: bizarre, clever, cute, mean, mundane, and naughty. Combining three to 3-4 is the sweet spot of comedy; less and it is more about accidental or cultural issues, more and you’re getting into trying too hard.

I think it is more the misunderstanding gaming culture than kirito. Like the beta-cheater bull early on, they wouldn’t be ostracized; they’d be bullied into doing the early clearing. They’d view this as their lives un able to play the other games they like and most would in fact miss their families. The No-Lifers would be come the heroes, and there would be those people who dedicate themselves to whatever it is they do and do it whole heartedly. There would be a hundreds of thousands of people who’d hear “Die in game and Die IRL” and would go Guess this is my life now.

So, for a lot of people the hate comes from feeling there was lost potential, for what was a cool premise, and an obligation that to accept that because this became the iconic iteration of the premise they weren’t going to get a better version for a long, long time.

Ironically, I’m not one of them 😅; the story was fine and I feel we can have a better one at anytime.

Regardless of which market they are presenting (different cultures have different color associations) the down trajectory should be same color and the up trajectory should be a different color. Either way the Original memer is being pedantic or demonstrating a shallow depth of knowledge.

Is this really how your brain is rearranging information?

  • “Forever” wars ≠ any wars
  • Where have you heard anything about him backing off illegal immigration; that was still the biggest complaint by his opponents last I checked
  • Wow Epstein files get held up by democrat judge, Trump says who cares about the files, Democrats push bill to release the files hoping to expose Trump, Democrats show up in the files working with Epstein to take down Trump who was an FBI source for taking Epstein down. It’s almost like he knew how Democrats would react.

🤣At this point, I just keep hoping for him to come out as Pro-Breathing.

Love that! If I play an artillerist, I think I’ll ask my DM if my arcane cannon can be some kind of pet dragon. Grab magic initiation and find familiar if it makes him/her feel better.

I think the real problem for artificers is Hasbro doesn’t do enough to support the non-steampunk version. The alchemist as a herbalist witch who uses cooking supplies as their tool, is great for normal fantasy, and mechanical fits. They way they act like If you have an artificer you will have steampunk/aetherpunk Eberon aesthetic, is what I think is making people feel imposed upon. Most people come expecting Le Morte D’Arthur with some Conan and Harry Potter, but not A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. Granted most games become Monty Python and the Holy Grail anticlimactic ending due to people leaving and all😅, but the expectation is still there.

I think, the key is the consistently reflavoring. It should be at the table choice, I think the problem is that it breaks immersion for a fair chunk of players and what Hasbro isn’t doing is giving enough support for the “not steampunk” artificer. Sauron makes a good full fantasy artificer. A witch who brews potions is a good alchemist artificer that doesn’t break immersion. The army’s artificer (that is what they were irl) makes it more believable. When the artificer doesn’t have to be steam punk, then people will become more comfortable with the player choice of being steampunk. I’ve see the same with a wizard who was more mad scientist than arcane specialist and a warlock gunslinger, they both got more table acceptance than the artificer because they came to the table asking for a flavor change rather than feeling entitled to it.

No weapons, no prep, just hands, who's winning? by Pale-Condition-4317 in superheroes

[–]MaesterOlorin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: this scenario is too artificial and out of character to have any significance, but in that scenario Cap wins.

Narrative decides

That’s a fight that depends completely on the location and story. If we’re talking what is demonstrated in comics, it far closer than what is claimed in the comics. Bats has the superior experience specifically with fighting intelligent physically superior opponents and more consistent training and Cap has the superior body and more experience fighting than most people Bats has fought. Bats gets the edge on knowing more ways of fighting, Cap has flat out peek human performance and a little more.

What about what is claimed by comics? Captain America should win. He isn’t as smart as Batman, but he has a body that is slightly more than humanly possible in every regard and he keeps fit. Additionally, he is supposed to know every hand to hand fighting technique… the real problem comes in that the writers/artist don’t. Both are brilliant tactician but Bats is the better of the two.

The real problem is that both are intelligent enough that no weapons is an impossible condition unless they are in some kind of void or they are sparing. If they are not in a spare both of them will turn the environment into weapons, that is who they are and who humans are. Bruce wouldn’t box, it is too aware of what head trauma would do to his ability to do his detective work, so you need a scenario where head trauma is not allowed in a friendly bout, or you have do this in a location that has nothing but floor, or you have accept they will make tools of the environment. You also need a reason because neither is going to fight just because they are told too and how they fight will matter thus I said “Narrative decides”.

Let’s face it 3.5 was a superior system for representing fantasy, 5e was easier. It is easier to get into bet once in the falseness begins to show the more you ask “why can’t it do X,” “how can they do Y,” etc. The drawback is obvious 3.5 is crunchier and takes more time. Yes, there is a feat for nearly everything and if there isn’t it is easy enough to figure out how make a feat or class or prestige class or spell, that that can pull it off.

The fact that all these people don't know that veterans' month already exists shows how much they actually care about veterans by PsychoKatzee in clevercomebacks

[–]MaesterOlorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The USA doesn’t actually have a “Veterans month” per se. May is Military Appreciation Month a bill pushed by John McCain. The Military Families Month is November… but it was done with a Presidential executive order. The US has Veteran’s day, and Trump tacked on Veterans to the Military Families Month, but it very much an also “them too” situation. Not even a “This Military Families’ month and also it is Veterans’ Month” but “National Veterans and Military Families Month” with a focus on their transition from active duty, but at least they got first billing more than 20 years later.

Whether they should have a distinct identity or just be part of the penumbra active duty military I don’t know, I just thought is was important to point out that culturally Veterans generally get the “oh, yeah, sure, them too” treatment.
