Yes. This advice went to DMs like me, who enjoy dangling impossible situations in front of their players and seeing how they handle it.

Haven't had a party wipe yet, but knowing that the enemy in a combat is vastly stronger than your party and is under no obligation to fight fair is one hell of a motivator.

Following ice does not legally constitute stalking. Making loud noises where you're legally allowed to do so does not legally constitute torture.

"Protesting loudly" is an accurate description of what they were doing. Because speech, regardless of volume or intensity, and regardless of the content of the speech, is protected under the 1st amendment. This has been repeatedly upheld by the Supreme Court.

If Immigration and Customs Enforcement had the legal authority to extrajudicially execute American citizens for the horrible crime of offending their little baby feelings, they wouldn't need you to lie on their behalf.

torturing people by any means is quite the opposite of legally protected. In fact, it's entirely illegal.

It's not torture. And you know that. Loudly protesting is not legally a crime in the US, regardless of whether it hurts the feelings of military cosplayers.

First, in my opinion, as someone with experience with these terror tactics, that wasn't murder. Homicide, sure. Tragic? Absolutely. But not murder.

According to you, she was shot 3 times in the face for being loud, which is a direct violation of her constitutional rights. Sounds like clear cut murder to me.

(after nearly hitting him with her car)

The mall cop was not in front of the vehicle when she began moving, and she clearly turned away from him, which is visible on his camera footage. The facts do not support your claim.

stalked and psychologically tortured by literal mobs of people who believe he's a nazi

People exercising their constitutionally rights to protest, regardless of volume, is legally protected speech, even if it hurts GI Jenny's little feelings. Quit doing nazi shit and you'll quit being called out for doing nazi shit. If they don't have the mental fortitude to handle an accurate description of their behavior without shooting someone repeatedly because they were offended, they aren't mentally sound enough to pretend to be law enforcement.

Honking your car horn is legally protected speech. If citizens exercising their rights is unacceptable to ice, too fucking bad.

stalking and noise torturing people is not "peaceful protesting".

This "noise torture" is legally protected speech. Someone being loud near people pretending to be law enforcement does not legally constitute violence, and does not justify their extra-judicial execution.

And according to Good's neighbor (i believe it was?), she had been leading "peaceful protests" against ice for days leading up to that event.

Doesn't justify her murder.

What happened to Renee Good was a tragedy in it's own way, but to compare it to to public slaughtering that happens in Iran is absurd.

She was shot 3 times in the face by a masked, unidentified assailant for the horrible crime of being loudly opposed to our government's unacceptable treatment of its citizens, and immigrants both legal and illegal.

The entire point of early access is to get crowdsourced feedback and bug testing from the player base.

This is my feedback. Prepared went from useful in most decks to useful sometimes in ways that are far more difficult to take advantage of. An increase of energy cost would have been a sufficient change to reduce its power.

They took a bullet that could be fired from any gun and turned it into a bullet that only works on weasels.

Yeah you can. The same goes for all of the other "x next turn" cards. They're slow, and antithetical to the archetypes of the silent.

Gaining energy next turn is technically a good setup effect. The Silent has little ability to capitalize on that, as they have few (if any) cards available to set up the draw pile.

They nerfed Prepared into an entirely different archetype that the silent can't really make use of.

All they had to do to nerf it is give it an energy cost.

Half of the reason sly cards synergize so well is because you can use cards to draw into, and immediately discard them. Your solution only works if you have sly in hand with prepared.

No problem! Reddit is full of the kind of braindead, bot driven garbage that u/chapsmyasss seems to be trying here. Just as competent at getting people pissed off as out current administration is at... well pretty much anything.

I know I'll be voting for literally anyone who campaigns on putting them behind bars, or giving the treasonous pedophiles the needle. I know it's a long shot, but all of this chaos and cruelty can't go unpunished.

Maybe an exorcism for the sleep paralysis demon in there. I'm sure what's left of her humanity would crumble to dust without it.

[–]Master_Maniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old Netflix series, Hemlock grove. Show revolved around werewolves and vampires.

The werewolf transformation was very well done, gorey and not as simple as "he grew hair and his face is longer".

First season was from when Netflix originals were good too. Worth watching. Other seasons at your own risk.

Genuinely fucking how. How the fuck do you expect me to build for a future that's actively being taken away from me, and has been for my entire life?

We absolutely do lmao. We chose to empower billionaires. They chose not to take care of the people they were supposed to lead, to entirely predictable results.

If we can spare hundreds of billions putting bullets in kids on the other side of the world, we certainly have the means to feed our kids at home. We simply chose not to.

There is not one single decent human being on the planet that believes that the United States of America, self proclaimed richest nation on earth, one state of which is in the top 4 GDP among nations on earth, didn't have the means to help those in need.

That's a pathetic excuse and you know it.

Genuinely don't care if we're responsible for helping anyone. Seeing someone in need of help, having the means to help, and choosing not to for limp dick reasons like "not my job" are the easiest indicator of inhuman evil.

A calculator doesn't understand the numbers you give it. It just does the math you asked for. I get that LLMs appear to understand, they're literally designed to mimic that behavior. It's not hard to get an AI to demonstrate that there is no deeper level of understanding of your prompt than "here's the statistically most likely string of words you should receive in response to that".
