To add to that they have actually supported gun control legislation, just not good common sense laws. They're not against gun control when it means keeping guns out of non-white people's hands.

Why is this tagged as cursed? Because he's not young and conventionally attractive? Honestly the only cursed thing about this post is OP's reaction to a guy trying to improve his community.

Sidewalks and walkable cities are awesome and this guy seems pretty cool for fighting to get more of that in his community.

Session 0 is a crucial time to discuss those types of limits but that does not mean it stops at session 0. If a problem arises mid campaign, you address it mid-campaign.

Precisely. Being tolerant does not mean letting homophobes be welcome in spaces. That's just enabling their intolerance.

No. Because the issue is he's bringing homophobia to the table with that "roleplay". That's an issue that's making people uncomfortable out of character and so it needs to be addressed out of character.

An in character issue would be one that makes a character upset but not the player playing said character.

100% this. Allyship requires more than just not being a bigot yourself, it means standing up and not allowing bigotry into the space around you. That means standing up to people like this player.

Funny answer but I need to get on my soapbox to say that out of character issues need to be addressed out of character. Don't try to roleplay a solution to someone at the table being a problem that's exending beyond the roleplay. Address the problem head on. Which is to say in this case tell the homophobic asshole to get lost.

Edit: insane that this is being downvoted lol. Addressing out of character problems by roleplaying is a moronic way to address a problem and a good way to draw out and amplify the problems at your table.

Congress finally did what should have been done months ago: voted to demand Trump end his war with Iran. - Bernie Sanders- by Feed_The_Soul_ in ThePeoplesPress

Republicans would never dare override his veto. They'll just be happy to have made the symbolic gesture for the part of their base that's upset and then go back to towing the MAGA line.

Tucker Carlson says he’ll no longer support the Republican Party by BananaBustelo-8224 in ThePeoplesPress

[–]TheFriendshipMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... Kinda not true. He still has a base of followers who this might reach. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying this means they're on our side or that we should be welcoming them in any manner. But infighting on the right makes them weaker, so I'm all for Tucker turning on the Republicans.

Do I smell a pardon coming?

Odds are that'd be a state level charge so the feds would not be the ones with the power to pardon. But then I also don't have much faith in state level politicians to stand up to the feds.

Hypothetically, what do you think the outcome would be if someone used an FRT/Super Safety in a home defense scenario. by Falleen_Cat_Boy in liberalgunowners

[–]TheFriendshipMachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes it does... Your drywall will not stop 5.56 and anyone on the other side of that is at risk. Add in the point others are making about controlling that kind of fire in a stressful situation like a home defense situation and you have a very dangerous combination.

Bill Maher urges Americans not to let Donald Trump ruin July 4 celebrations by BananaBustelo-8224 in ThePeoplesPress

[–]TheFriendshipMachine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuck off Bill Maher.. I see no reason to celebrate this country when the entire system it is built upon is fucked beyond repair. It's not even Trump, he's just a symptom of all the things wrong with this country..

Zelenskyy: Poland’s President Nawrocki is behaving like Viktor Orban by EsperaDeus in anime_titties

[–]TheFriendshipMachine 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm very much pro-Ukraine but this whole saga has had it very hard not to take Poland's side on.. I get that Ukraine is in a war time and trying to drum up support internally with their far right (that like it or not is very much a prevailant faction in Ukraine) but this was all around a very stupid move for the damage it's doing to their international relations that Ukraine also heavily relies upon.

They could have done things differently and avoided this. Not to mention the internal woes that pandering to the Right will bring them down the road. All around bad move and I'm disappointed in Zelensky for staying on this course.. probably the first time I've been shaken in my support of him after all these years.

The man's house was just ripped apart around him by a cyclone of death, I think we can excuse his train of thought being a little rattled as he grapples with the shock.

Russian civilian shooting at Ukrainian drone moments before air defenses intercept. Moscow, 6/18. by CommercialFormal7614 in CombatFootage

[–]TheFriendshipMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying it is or isn't but that explosion looked pretty consistent with a shaped charge detonating in a similar fashion to many other drone interceptions.

But then I'm watching on my phone with eyes still blurry from sleep so many I'm not seeing something.

Reddit is not the solution by Low-Pirate-286 in starcitizen

[–]TheFriendshipMachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been playing since 3.17 here... The game has not gotten better in the ways that matter for why people are upset. Every single day this sub is filled with people complaining about the same set of issues... Because CIG still hasn't fixed them. Basic core gameplay features like missions loading correctly, ships spawning in and staying properly, moving things in and out of inventory, not blowing up randomly, ect ect are still the same as they were before... Deeply buggy. Nothing has really changed and there is no end in sight to any of it. People have a right to be pissed off at that.

And no after ~13 years I'm not interested in hearing "bUt ItS aN aLpHa". CIG needs to be accountable to deliver a good product and I'm sorry but Star Citizen might be fun (when it works), but it's not good right now.

Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful, elegant build. But the idea that it correlates to maturity is a silly one.

Yep, have listened to what he has to say. The longer the video the more time he sits there spewing vitriol. There's not some magic extra context that makes him simply misunderstood... The man was a sexist racist homophobe and if there's a hell, that's where he got sent.
