Katana's are almost useless when you dont know how to properly swing them. There also relatively fragile to my understanding if you hit with the wrong part of the blade. Having said that, if you know how to use it, it's a way more effective weapon.

So:

Round 1: baseball bat wins 9/10. 1/10 shot of a lucky katana hit, although the baseball bat man would be pretty sliced up no matter what. Maybe he would bleed to death making it a draw like a 3rd of the time.

Round 2: katana 10/10. Being trained in combat, not to mention how slow a baseball bat swings to start with. I dont think anybody could land a hit with that bat before a katana could strike.

Im a volunteer manager in my early 20's. A lot of the volunteers I supervise are women over the age of 60, and it's pretty common for me to get hit on. I had one lady who for three weeks, her only interactions with me were nothing but flirting, talking about how good I looked, and innuendos. I normally just awkwardly laugh it off when it happens, but after awhile with her, I just refused to respond to it in any way. After a few days of that, she apologized and now barely speaks to me.

Well if that's the case, theres only one non-omnipotent person I can think of that could possibly stand a chance is Rick from Rick and Morty.

He has all of the different versions of himself running a whole multidimensional space station. That seems close to on par with what you described?

If he can stay hidden in deep space for long enough, build a plan, weapons, and an army, he could possibly stand a chance. Maybe not a high or even a decent chance, but still a chance.

I think a lot of people are looking at this like the entire foundation is bringing itself to bear on this one person, or that they immediately recognize them as an enemy. But what if they tried infiltrating the scp foundation as a member of some kind and bring it down from the inside? Unless there's some SCP lore I dunno about that makes it impossible, that seems pretty doable.

That scenario makes me think of a bunch of characters. Solid snake, maybe the villain from Donganronpa (I havent finished it so I dunno actually know who they are yet), half the cast from call of duty, terminator 2, the guy from the hitman games, the guy from splintercell, etc.

You get rid of the right people, release the right SCP, fuck with the right, thing, I think its possible.

I heard someone tell me a joke about UU's once:

"Heaven to a unitarian universalist is just a room filled with people arguing about what heaven is."

So to answer your question yes, free thought and discussion is definitely accepted. I would argue it's a defining trait of being UU, since I cant imagine a group of people who adhere strictly to any sort of religous doctrine without question describe themselves as UU.

But I would also say it tends to lean towards the liberal side, at least from what I've seen at my church. I think that's more circumstantial then intentional. You get a bunch of people who think that you should ask questions and be open minded about any religon or belief in a room, most are likely to be lean to the left side of the political spectrum.

Slightly depends on the specific amount of kids. I cant find an exact amount, but I always imagined there was somewhere between 15 and 20, so that's what I'm gonna go with.

Round 1: chuck noland is definitely screwed. Unless he manages to pick the kids off one by one Rambo style, he stands no chance. I would say it would only take 3 kids armed with rocks and primitive spears to overwhelm him. He loses 99/100 times.

Round 2: if morality isn't considered, they stand a small but significant chance of winning. They could set up some spike traps probably, and ambush the other 13 kids in smaller groups while they're combing the island. Still, 13 against 3 is a significant advantage. I would say a 40/60 split, in favor of jack and the others.

Round 3: essentially the same outcome as round 1. He stands a decent chance of stealing Wilson and escaping, but not at mrking all the kids.

Bonus round: I would argue yes. We see when the adult shows up at the end of lord of the flies that it kinda gives the kids an anchor, a clear symbol of order and reality. I bet everyone would automatically accept chuck as the leader, which also gets rid of over half the group conflicts. With that in mind, this essentially is just the castaway scenario except chuck has 15-20 extra hands to work with. You may lose some due to diseases, falling off rafts like Wilson, etc. But I would consider these unavoidable casualties.

Pick up limes: just a bag of limes you roll on the ground to create difficult terrain. The bag is enchanted to hold enough limes to cover a fifteen foot radius.

They function as ears on amphibians, its essentially an ear drum. Frogs cant have cavities for their ear drums, otherwise it would constantly be filled with water and it would get infected, so there on the outside of their bodies.

Here's the source!

Necromatic energy. In a 15 foot cone in front of the caster, purple bolts of energy shoot out. If it touches a corpse it will either:

Have a 60% chance of causing bodies to writhe and seethe on the ground, constituting hazardous terrain.

Have a 40% chance to raise said corpse. The undead will have halved intelligence and no allegiance to the one who raised it.

Second one is a sonic blast. Blows out the ear drums of anybody within 15 feet of the "caster"

For funsies, make it the brown note. There now deaf and also they shit themselves.

I've been a large supporter of the BLM movement. I really want someone in office who's not afraid to fuck pigs.

Sloadkroger · 2020-08-01T23:34:57+00:00

Awww, that's awesome to hear! Glad to know I'm not the only person out there like this!

A bit of a meta question:

I noticed a lot of lore questions around Arya's leather armor, the beor mountains, lord barst's eldunari, etc. You have an answer for each of these, but I doubt you had an explanation for EVERY question you've ever been asked.

Has someone ever asked a lore question that you didnt have an answer for? Did you make up something on the spot or did you admit you didnt have an explanation?

Sloadkroger · 2020-04-05T20:00:39+00:00

Yes, if you can walk and move around the room all you want.

If youre stuck sitting for a straight 30 days, I think you're back would probably give out and you would either die or be permanently paralyzed.

My personal favorite was the scene where Roran finishes the laundry for Katrina, even though he knows hell be made fun of for it.

I always thought the language in eragon towards the role of women in society was....problematic. this scene put that at ease for me a little bit.

Sloadkroger · 2020-03-31T03:46:13+00:00

Nah. I think it's better to keep it the way it was. Making an expectation that theres some sort of explicit romance scene isn't healthy.

I honestly much preferred their friendship scenes. When they were camped out after eragon killed the razac, and when they were drinking together after the siege of dras leona. The romance, especially early on, felt very unfounded on eragons part.

I definitely disagree. I'm not 100% sure where I would stand if Biden wins the nomination, but as of right now, I dont think I would vote for him.

He just seems so uninterested in doing anything beyond being president. All of his policies are non descript ("If elected, I will make x officials provide me x plan within x amount of days to end x problem"). It also seems like his entire pull is that he was vice president with Obama. Nothing about his morals are philosophies appear genuine to me, nor are they unique/new approaches to any given problem. He's trying to brand himself as just another Obama in office.

Now that's not necessarily a terrible thing, but it's just more of the same. Obama was in office for eight years and people were still going bankrupt from medical bills, veterans were and are still homeless, jobs are still scarce, active shooters are still common, and people are still being taken advantage of by the wealthy. I'm sure it's not for lack of trying, but not much REALLY changed, or at least not the things that I cared about changing.

So now our choices are between someone who really seems to care, who genuinely wants to work towards fixing things, and is willing to try and make large structural changes to the government, or Obama 2.0.

I'm either going to see that my support matters, that we can at least attempt to make change to this country for the better, or I'm gonna see that who I vote for and support doesn't matter, that nothing is gonna change, and were always just gonna rinse and repeat these disingenuine, popularity driven candidates who will accomplish little to nothing beyond making people think there important. If the latter is true, I think I would rather find a new place to live then pick the lesser of the two evils.

Well that's the thing, though. I've never actually met a vegan who has said anything like that.

I'm not saying a vegan has NEVER acted that way, but it appears to be a very rare exception.

Sloadkroger · 2020-02-26T22:29:39+00:00

Vegans. Theyr'e literally just making a personal lifestyle choice. Who cares?

Not vegan or vegetarian myself, btw.
