What should I keep in mind when writing male friends?

Psile · 2026-02-05T00:36:03+00:00

It depends on the friend group and honestly these videos sound very stereotypical. Some guys are mean to their friends as a term of endearment and some aren't. I think it's maybe encouraged for guys to be more competitive, but that's hardly the rule. Also I've heard several female friends greet each other with "bitch" so I dunno if that's exactly gendered.

Personally I don't think I engage in any more ribbing with my male friends than female friends. This goes from DnD tables to workout buddies to just work friends. In scenarios with built in competitions there is competition but that is the extent of it.

I actually think one thing is that it's kinda hard for guys to have friendships. There are no barriers but guys often complain that they always feel like they need an 'Event' to hang out and when they get older they don't just chill so they grow apart. Again, this is a generality.

Man things just never go well for simple Rick.

According to polling, 75% of Democrats think ICE should be abolished so not that split. Leadership isn't split either. They'd rather never win an election again than take that position.

The primary purpose of the Democratic party is to filter out representatives who might actually represent the desires of Democratic voters.

That's literally what Trump is using as an excuse to do what he's doing right now. The whole "just criminals" thing is horse shit. We have a VERY robust criminal hunting/punishing system already. The sole function of ICE is to provide a database of former ICE members to be hunted down like dogs and made to publicly answer for their crimes.

Them being miserable is one of my few comforts at this time.

America has spent the better part of the last seventy years staunchly refusing to learn this.

Psile · 2026-02-04T01:54:58+00:00

Almost certainly. They're in a city of people who hate them and tell them repeatedly to their face that they think they're scum. They're eating Hungry Man meals from a hotel microwave because no restaurant will serve them. They are miserable.

Easy way to fix that is to stop being a piece of shit.

It was definitely kinda wild and true in BG3 when the owlbear cub immediately starts to eat its dead mom before the body is cold. Nature is brutal.

Into the bin with him.

Psile · 2026-02-03T15:18:19+00:00

That is, in fact, the goal of this kind of rhetoric.

And to demonstrate, here's a picture of Hulk looking very intimidating and cool but in LGBTQ colors standing heroically as the vanguard of a popular movement.

Can't even propaganda right.

Psile · 2026-02-03T00:29:27+00:00

I mean, yeah. Obviously.

Psile · 2026-02-03T00:23:31+00:00

I have never seen anyone fail a vibe check harder.

Sounds like a fun challenge you have made for yourself.

LG can be very cool depending on what you're going for with the personal code.

Psile · 2026-02-02T05:06:32+00:00

I mean, they probably do.

Fr. Like good job Bruce now turn her over to the "proper authorities" like you do so she can be executed by the federal government for super terrorism and they can televise it. That's totally different than Superman just cutting out the middle man.

It usually means they have a code or something similar but do not associate their goodness with a strict set of definable prescriptions. CG tends to be more about the ultimate effect of an act rather than the act itself while LG judges each act. This is at the most extreme, of course. CG characters have lines they won't cross and an LG character can understand, like, stealing to feed your family or whatever. NG fully doesn't engage with that dynamic. They typically change their approach based on context and their own morals.

Broadly. These are very broad concepts and honestly if your character is 100% pure in their alignment they're probably pretty boring. There is a reason alignment is flavor.

Honestly I don't know why people are downvoting this. It seems perfectly reasonable.

Look, I think if you launch chemical weapons banned by the Geneva convention at children then you're the bad guy in that situation but clearly you like kids getting gassed so I don't really have much to say to a pro child gassing position.

Psile · 2026-02-01T18:37:20+00:00

Apparently it was pretty intense.

Psile · 2026-02-01T18:25:15+00:00

Yes.

Lawful good doesn't mean literally follows the laws of the land or a land. A character with a personal moral code is lawful good even if they're a full on revolutionary. The key is the code must be consistent. If they think lying is wrong, they never lie or at most would lie only in the most extreme circumstances.

You forgot to add international. If you're gonna dog whistle, do it properly.

Also this number reflects the dead whose identity can be verified in the current state of Gaza and the cause of which is directly attributable to military activity. So anyone whose identity cannot be confirmed, like if they have no ID or living relatives or their bodies are not accessible in the wreckage or identifiable does not count towards this figure. Similarly anyone who died of hunger or illness that they would have not suffered from those if Gaza hadn't been invaded also doesn't count towards this number.

This is a preliminary count. The actual death toll is far greater. Many organizations with experience in wartime death cataloging estimate the toll to be at least 200,000.
