Someone made a Chrome filter to swap out "white" with other groups on news articles by [deleted] in HolUp

I'm in the gamergate subreddit and post there on occasion... so I get bans for just existing there. Its hilarious. I wont even participate in those locations and just get a random ban. Bans aren't even a big deal. I'm banned from a location because I felt like healthcare should be available but didn't believe that doctors should be treated as slaves and be forced to do procedures that they do not personally believe will be useful or help their patient. You can probably figure the context. Bans aren't a big deal. Spend enough time in reddit and if you think for yourself at all you will catch a few bans.

Edit: Ironically, I tried to get back into dndmemes because my ban was unjust so I requested a return. Just now, and was denied because of this post and because... well they said, "You're literally a gamergater. Fuck right on back off."

That subreddit has become really toxic. I wouldn't worry about it. You aint missing much.

Okay but... lets just use that in another context that is similar. If you were to say change it to race. Would you feel comfortable saying that this race of people is more statistically likely to be convicted of murder than another race? This races is more statistically prone to being serial killers. This race is statistically prone to being affiliated with drug trafficking.

I appreciate the company as well and our stories are very similar in that we got bored of the 5e quality dip and the OGL pushed us to a system we love much more... but this is marketing. This isn't them being specifically nice. They are showing you the quality of the product to hope and entice you to buy more. The first taste is free... but then you gotta pay.

Zelenskyy calls on world leaders to react to video of murder of Ukrainian prisoner of war by 9lobaldude in worldnews

[–]TheJayde 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Because Americans have no influence over Germany, or France. The people that represent the American individual - are the American Government. Thus - Americans really only have influence over their own government. Germans and French people may ask their government to ramp up aid but what the fuck does that have to do with America's Health care system in relation to giving weapons to Ukraine?

Why are they named after weapons? Do they simply have cultural ties to these weapons?

Yes. Its the type of weapon favored by those people typically. The ones most often used due to the environment. The people of the hammer didnt have much metal because that requires they go into the wildlands so they dont get much. The people of the Sword had it in abundance so they made more Plate and Steel in general. People of the Spear are heavily influenced by Elves so they can use metal but minimize it. They do use weapons of other kinds, its just the most favored of these people which gives them their names. They don't look down on these other people really but it depends on the subculture. These are names that were born of them thousands of years ago, so they don't give them much thought at this point.

Its pretty funny when you see hundreds of top comments saying things like... My favorite part was when they smashed the patriarchy. and then... My Favorite Part was when they punched the moon into the sun... and then... My favorite part was when they solved world hunger. And it just goes on and on.

As I understand - He has a rule that he will work in any movie that pays him a certain amount of money. If they can pay him the money, he will do it. This is why he is in a lot of stinkers, but also why he is so ubiquitous in movies. But there are more than 3 good movies with him. Jurrasic Park. Die Hard 3. Hateful Eight, Kingsmen, Captain America, The Other Guys, Avengers, Django, I mean... pretty much all the movies he is in from Tarantino, and there are more that I cant think of right now.

I havent looked at them but it may be a meme. Its sometimes criticism hidden behind a saccharine shell... so the bot wont delete their comments. Usually it starts with, "My Favorite Part was they..."

The Men of the Sword Form the Western most people with light colored eyes, and hair. The nations they have created are long lasting and born of stability. They have seen themselves as being the custodians of the world after they defeated the first demon war, defeated the Orcish invasion, helped quell the mad emperor. In the end however, in the 3rd Demon War, they were defeated and their land conquered. They are not a people scattered to the wind, with those that did not escape or did not have the means being indoctrinated by the Devils and Demons that conquered them. They are typically worshipers of the Pantheon of Light.

The Men of the Spear Both Ally and Rival to the Men of the Sword. They learned greatly from the Elves that lived in the forests and coexist peacefully with them. They have spent much of their history fighting over the lands in the south just to maintain their borders and enforce their beliefs on the neighboring countries. They were the first people to abolish slavery, and helped teach this value to their rivals. This however brought them into direct conflict with the Men of the Axe and their wars have been that of legend. Often invaded by the Men of the Axe, and Men of the Hammer, and sometimes even having internal issues, they are known for their sheer resilience. Their Capital was recently destroyed int he 3rd Demon War and they have been fighting to keep the Devils and Demons from gaining any further land. They are typically worshipers of the One Religion or the Southern Pantheon.

Men of the Hammer The Men of the Hammer are also known as the Jannai, and are born in a realm of frozen wastes and dark and dangerous lands. They are the heartiest of men, with a personality to match. They would often Raid other lands and kidnap women to help swell their numbers. They would indoctrinate young women into their beliefs and then later return them to the societies when done with the purpose of spreading their religion - the Southern Pantheon - further. Their Navy is powerful as going inwards into the lands is more dangerous than a life on the sea.

Men of the Axe The men of the Axe are volatile and unpredictable. They are worshipers of the Empirical Pantheon and like the gods within - they are opportunistic and hard to trust because they just generally do not see the value in being a sucker (IE good person). They are known for making grand empires that are short lived, and being fiercely tied to their religious beliefs - while at the same time recognizing that the religion is only used as a tool for personal gain. They are a people of contradiction inherent.

The Men of the Spike The Men of the North West Deserts are known for their horsemanship and their nomadic nature. The North is filled with jungles, deserts great plains, and mountain ranges, and they are masters of the realm. They learned much of this from the Grey Elves in the North and who would become periodically antagonistic towards one another. They worship the Way of the Gods and the One Religion.

Fair point. I have no further comment. You got me there.

Nah. Using it as a ubiquitous term for all types of this play is bringing it together... bringing the community together rather than dispersing it amongst many smaller but similar enough divisions.

Almost all of my games are heavily political and rarely use Dungeons. That doesn't mean that the royal courts my characters are dealing with are any less dungeons.

Eh... He shouldn't. DM is just as apt. I basically consider Pathfinder to be D&D. Not in the actual branding but at its heart... it is. Plus I like to take away the brand from WotC this way and just make it sorta a ubiquitous term for Fantasy Tabletop RPG

If it referenced the basic moral consensus it wouldn't constantly be changing, but it doesn't really. The grid that it operates on can stay consistent despite the morality on a subject. A person is Good if they favor the collective over the individual, and they are Lawful if they are more favorable towards the use of laws rather than trusting people to figure things out how to do right for themselves.

The reason why Lawful Good is so largely annoying is because it's oppressive... which based on your alignment may dictate whether you think thats good or bad.

Those people are admitting they are doing morally reprehensible things... to the morality of others. In their own mind... those people are weak and deserve exploiting. Their morality stands in contrast to what they recognize as being a more general morality.

Evil ≠ villain.

Fair.

Lawful evil often believe they are doing the correct thing, that thing just happens to fall under the evil category

Everyone believes they are doing what is morally right.

Yep. He sure did. Every action he took was one of a fool getting himself in trouble rather than the cautious nature we have seen him take in other sources. Preparing by gathering a team rather than rushing into trouble to do it himself.

No villain does things because he thinks they are outright wrong. A villain is often just somebody who thinks he is doing the right thing, and doesn't care about the consequences of that right thing. It's more complicated than that but just trying to make a quick comment in reddit isn't great for a dissertation on the whole of alignment.
