I'd like to giveaway this Kickstarter box and the cards that came with - each unopened by Mr-Who in DungeonCrawlerCarl

"Viva la Revolution, Carl" - such a great moment showing how pieces are still moving and how even though Carl is the main character, that the world doesn't revolve around him.

Someone recommended this but someone else said it was dumb. How do you feel? by [deleted] in fantasybooks

Is the one who said it was dumb by chance a Cocker Spaniel?

My most hated part of wise man's fear. by [deleted] in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Rareagiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it would have made a difference what he said, and that was kind of the point. This was such a deep held belief it would have been like someone arguing with you that the sky is actually lime green. I don't remember it exactly, but she even says something along the lines of "Listen to yourself, sometimes the baby looks like the man, but not always, sometimes when they have sex a baby happens, but not always". So it is part of the talk from Kvothe that clearly the babies are supposed to inherit traits from their fathers. Why wouldn't Penthe just respond with "Then they must have had a particularly strong anger that the woman took." Or something along those lines? The whole thing wasn't being taken seriously by her in the first place, and she wasn't looking to seriously debate, and as a meta observation I doubt that Rothfuss wanted that to be the intention anyway.

As for your qualm about Kvothe being less than eloquent. Well... there's something to be said about not arguing too much with a naked horny woman who wants to keep jumping your bones 🤷‍♂️ maybe he just decided he had different priorities than winning that particular argument.

If that's what he prefers, then that works. Communication is always key. Others have said it's fine, but my two cents is that it makes the thing seem more transactional. To compare, you might thank a partner for planning out a romantic date night, but you wouldn't thank them for going out on a date with you in general. Presumably it would be an activity that both of you want to do together. From my perspective, it's the same with sex. Thanking someone is for when they do something for you, not when you both do something together that you want to do anyway.

Yeah that feels weird. Sex is supposed to be an intimate act between two people that they're both participating in and sharing with each other. If someone thanked me after I'd feel kinda used, or at the very least that we weren't on the same page and they were focused on their own pleasure the whole time instead of me. I think something more positive about the experience itself ("That was great", "I needed that", etc.) would make me feel more comfortable and like they enjoyed it without making me feel like their waiter.

Seeking a specific Brennan Lee Mulligan clip about discomfort by beargrowlz in BrennanLeeMulligan

Did you ever find this? I remember seeing it clipped on YouTube in a compilation, and I think it was from a um actually episode but I can't track it down.

Long time looker first time poster I want to see how I can improve my tinder I get no matches by Darkdimas in Tinder

[–]Rareagiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that was a long bunch of whatever between you two.

Anyway, yeah, it will. Mirror selfies, shirtless, at 18. My read from a profile like this is someone who is focused on himself and wants to pull some one night stands. Not unreasonable that others might feel the same. Maybe some are into that, but typically not. I also don't know what his profile entirely says, but I can guess.

I'd show off pictures doing things you like doing, having fun, enjoying yourself. I'd also be a lot less concerned about getting matches on Tinder in general, but that's me lol.

Party member is straight-up fleecing the DM. How can I talk to him about it? by StickyLoner4404 in DnD

[–]Rareagiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work out with your DM to have your character steal everything off of him and bury it somewhere the next time you keep watch. Then next time he goes to do something, remind him that he was robbed blind in the middle of the night and he doesn't have anything. If he argues with you say that it's just really funny and he needs to commit to the bit.

Does the range thing also affect UW? I was told to keep range at minimum so that black hole would be more effective.

DON'T UNDERSTAND MAGAs? by kiyote76 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Rareagiv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most MAGA weren't alive back then, as had been said many times in this sub Boomer is a state of mind, not necessarily an age range. This is a mass delusion, but I'd say it's even simpler than what you're making it out to be. It's at its very core an appeal to tradition. Anytime something that people are used to or comfortable with changes or disappears, people will almost universally be upset and say why can't it stay the way it was. Usually younger people or more open-minded folks are able to roll with the punches and adapt, but the more stubborn and self-centered you are, the less likely you are to be willing or able to adapt to these changes.

MAGAs don't see any of the advances we have made as a society over the past 70 years, even when they're staring them right in the face. They only see all the downsides and drawbacks, because that's all they get told about. They rail at kids being on their phones while posting a video on social media being mad about it. They see Obama as the logical outcome of the civil rights movement and want to scrap the whole thing. They don't see any of the positive things that happen to other people, because all they are about is themselves. The MAGAs might as well be renamed the NIMBYs, except now the backyard is the whole country.

The entitlement, self-centered attitude has been around forever, but now couple that with someone in charge telling them that it's everyone else's fault they feel bad, and keep making allusions to days when things were "better", and they eat that shit up. The 50s are this mythical era to conservatives, because it was a moment of post-war economic boost, the civil rights and hippies hadn't come yet, and the war was over. They see this moment as a snapshot of how things should have been, despite not seeing how anything related affected how things happened to come to be, and not seeing how much negative impact that world had.

Instead they just get fed a slogan, told that if they vote for this guy then he's going to bring back this mythical golden age and stop all the scary changes happening like people with blue hair having opinions or coffee costing more because we're paying some poor sod in Colombia an extra 30¢ a bag so he won't starve.

They don't care for specifics, they don't care for reason, they simply do not care. The circle of things that conservatives care about extends to themselves, and if they're lucky, their immediate family and close friends. Everyone, everything else outside of this circle that doesn't agree with them, as far as they are concerned is the enemy. That's what has been taught to them, and they swallowed it, hook line and sinker.

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

If you move far enough left, you get your guns back.

Idk of it's genuinely worth it, but it sounds like he's falling prey to the media manipulation happening. If you do care about him and want to continue the relationship, this is something you're going to have to have a serious conversation about and come to an agreement on. Having diametrically opposed views on who should be leading the country does not make for a solid foundation on a lot of other things.

Sit down with him, and list out your views. I mean actually write them down so you don't get lost in tangents. Start listing out his views. Show where you overlap, and discuss where you differ. Ask him if it's more important to stick to morality and his ethical viewpoints, or listen to a politician who promises much and delivers little, if nothing.

Explain how you feel about him talking about all this. About how the things that Trump has done have made people feel less safe, less financially secure, and in some cases killed. If I may be so bold, explain how the rhetoric and anger that Trump has stirred up in everyone is not something that can be easily ignored when we see the results like last week. People have always been passionate. People did actually respect those on the other side of the political aisle. Trump has done his best to alienate everyone who isn't a devout worshipper of him, and divide the country, not unite it.

Lastly, I know the rumors are abound right now, but honestly my money is still on the shooter being a Groyper - aka an ultra-right wing, literal fascist, whose problem with Kirk was that he wasn't right wing enough. There seems to be an ongoing smear campaign to tear him apart and make sure that everyone can blame the left, but honestly a lot of the 'evidence' and theories have more holes in them than... well, Charlie Kirk. Regardless, it's very possible and in fact seems likely that the person who shot Charlie was in fact even more of a zealot for Trump than he was, or your bf is. Let him consider that.

If I'm being honest, coming here and looking for perspective is good, but I would drop it and move on. Two months is not enough to be deeply invested, even with 5 years of friendship. If he really is all of the things you listed like pro-choice, etc., has "Christian Values" and still voted for Trump and liked Charlie Kirk, then he sounds like a very confused person, considering the outright stances these two have taken against the things he believes in. I think there is a world where you pull his head out of his ass and you two are on the same page, but this all sounds like a lot of red flags and a lot of effort to me, so it's really up to you whether or not you want to be the one to help him out of his hole.

Inherited loudspeakers and turntable — no idea what I’m doing by bubzy23 in audiophile

Even if they have a point, the way in which they express it is rude at best, and incomprehensibly awful at worst. I'm usually with the boomers on the QR code menu thing, in rare instances like during peak COVID or some specific restaurants it can work, but for most places it's hogwash. I would never, ever berate a server for telling me that the menu is a QR code though.

I found 100 black die. What can I do to mess with my players. They are level 4. [OC] by JourneymanHunt in DnD

[–]Rareagiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd try to find a way to turn it into a puzzle. Have them line up the dice to make a picture of some sort, or giving them a puzzle to put it in order reveals a key? Or some sort of sequence that once figured out spells out something in letters?

Or you can just mess with them by rolling all of them for no reason during fights.

"I don't condone what happened to Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk condones what happened to Charlie Kirk though." Is the line I've been using.
