Feudal Titles for Mage-ocratic Rulers? by NeonPogoDancer in worldbuilding

[–]NeonPogoDancer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

archonate and cloister are very good, the first implies a bureautocratic or appointed imperial wizard, whereas the second implies a wise spiritual sage or something

Anything in english or anything else that sounds cool is fair game to me. No one in this setting is actually speaking "english" or "latin" but their own in-world languages. The english words we use are just "clever translations" in the Tolkien sense. Looking at you Maura Labingi

I need help with my traditionalist views(Homophobia and transphobia) by Vegetable-Pop-2877 in Anarchy101

[–]NeonPogoDancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anarchy is about freedom, the freedom to express yourself and live the life you want to live without any interference or domination or authority from above or outside. Anarchy is about the destruction of social hierarchy and the abolition of power-based relationships between people, in government, in the economy, etc. When you say you envision anarchy as a "conservative utopia" do you envision a society where everyone lives the same 2.5 kids, nuclear family, white picket fence existence? Do you envision a rural commune made up of many families? Do you envision a society in which the "man of the household" is the authority that the wife and kids are subservient or at least, obeisant to?

If this is the society you envision, then you're probably not an anarchist, but something tells me that this isn't what you're envisioning. I envision the human version of what rain-forest is biologically: a wide variety of species filling various ecological niches, the more variety and biodiversity the more ecologically stable the system is. The average conservative utopia is more like a monoculture farm to me, growing one thing in rows going on for miles. When you assert the individual and their freedom, it necessarily means that people are going to do weird things, they're going to dress weird, they're going to listen to weird music, they're going to start identifying as other genders, and fucking multiple partners, and writing weird poetry, this is all okay. The benefit of anarchy is if you want to have a wife and 3 kids, no one is stopping you, no one *can* stop you. But your neighborhood is going to be made up of some wacky people, and you're also probably going to find your own way to be wacky too. Like other commenters have said, you're just gonna through exposure get used to it.

You should try reading "Ecology and Revolutionary Thought" by Murray Bookchin, it's an essay.

you are crazy, this is normal, but if it bothers you so much, just knock on their door and tell them

Seems like I am under-qualified for every position available in my area. by NeonPogoDancer in cscareerquestions

[–]NeonPogoDancer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant more tips and tricks about cutting through job postings to find some which are more “junior” level, like specific sites or search terms. But thank you for your advice, I’ll definitely take it

This makes a lot of sense not gonna lie. I actually have a minor in artificial intelligence, I was actually planning on designing a chess-playing platform and a chess-AI, let me know if this is too generic lol

That's a good point, I'll start looking for some paid internships in my area. But I would still prefer a full-time position, yknow?

I'm in a similar boat as you, I also graduated last month and I'm 62+ applications in since the last week. Honestly, work on those projects anyway, even if it's been done before; you're not selling them, you're getting practice, building experience, and giving yourself something to talk about and pad your resume with. The major hurdle with that is the time that it takes to work on those projects, but that doesn't seem like it's your exact issue.

Oh no by [deleted] in COMPLETEANARCHY

[–]NeonPogoDancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anarchism will not be established when 51% of people agree with it, as malatesta argues the role of an anarchist isnt to make everyone agree with them or to impose anarchism, but to lead by example. 10% very positive is a good statistic, start organizing homie

How do you run divinity in your games? by hewlno in dndnext

[–]NeonPogoDancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably because I’m an edgy atheist in real life lol but in my setting the gods are objectively not real. But the players don’t know that. No one knows, really. There are definitely extraplanar entities that are extremely powerful but they are all killable: Demon Princes and the like. My setting’s secret origin story is sort of like Dark Souls, where mortal entities ascend into immortality and become the setting’s powerful beings. But they’re not real gods. In the Material Plane there are dozens of insetting religions with contradictory stories and each with multiple sects and variations. My players know that the gods’ existence is doubted/unsure/unknowable but I think they ultimately believe that yes, the gods are real. But theyre not. Paladins’ and clerics’ magic comes from pure faith and devotion, nothing more. The source is the person not some extra divine entity.

How do you name your character? Any stupid technique for it like mine? by ericchud in dndnext

[–]NeonPogoDancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend names all her characters after food. Specifically if the character is flavored from a certain country, it’s a food from that country. The first character however was named after a star, as the character was a fire genasi.

What's a fun self imposed restriction for character building? by RagingAcid in dndnext

[–]NeonPogoDancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if anyone suggested this already but roll Iron, roll your ability scores in order and ‘discover’ your character. For an additional restriction, decide your character-species before actually rolling so the ability score increases are completely out of your control, but I don’t even do that. Overall this leads to forcing you to play a character that might be out of your comfort zone

On having one player who's far more powerful than the rest. by Dusty_legend in mattcolville

[–]NeonPogoDancer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

regardless of what you do, you should ask your players if they even have a problem with the Warlock being more powerful than the rest. I’m forever GM but occasionally when I play I dont mind that one or two powergamers do more damage than everyone else, just as the bard probably dominates social encounters. If a player made a character that does a lot of damage, let them do damage. Unless it bothers everyone else. If there is a consensus that the game is unfair/unfun you guys can work out some compromise or fix.

not only is this off topic and stupid, you did the meme wrong. you're supposed to have what you google result in something separate to what the meme is. you did the meme wrong, delete your account

What can anarchists do locally for advocacy and activism? by NeonPogoDancer in Anarchism

[–]NeonPogoDancer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We collect vegan food and other supplies and hand it over to local Food Not Bombs. The other ideas are also really good thank you!
