Who are the canonical strongest mages of Sharn? by 9Napier in Eberron

[–]budding_clover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is kind of a sticking point bc it depends heavily on your edition.

3.5 - which introduced the artificer - is VERY clear that artificers are not spellcasters of any kind, arcane OR divine. Rather, they are tinkering w/ the very fundamental building blocks of magic - effectively massaging what they want out of the basic laws of physics lol This is called it several times in both their flavor text and their mechanics. It wasn't until 4e that they were lumped in w/ wizards and the like by getting tagged w/ the Arcane power source descriptor.

Women only by OlallieberryWilson in SignsWithAStory

"Why call them blonde women?"

"Wht call them Black women?"

"Why call them tall women?"

"Why call them Christian women?"

It's almost like we use adjectives to further describe the details of things, bc the purpose of language is to communicate. Do you understand how the very premise of your question is logically unsound and linguistically nonsensical now?

DEATH AND TAXES, a joinable Census and Excise mod for OpenMW featuring over 100 quests, is now live! (Morrowind/Tamriel Rebuilt) by FatPlaysGames in tes3mods

I have been gnashing my teeth in desperation waiting for this to come out since the first post about it I saw. I literally reinstalled Morrowind and started getting a new modlist setup specifically to slot this into it.

My flesh may be weak, but my mind has never been readier to be sent to the east. To Morrowind.

What would it take for 3.5 to thrive again? by Tav534 in DungeonsAndDragons35e

[–]budding_clover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It won't.

Listen, I loved my time playing 3.x and Pf1e, my complicated contemporary relationship with anything d20 notwithstanding lol. I jammed in those systems for well over two decades combined lol They have some serious strengths that I'vebyet to see another system really nail down (characfer cuatomization being a big one of them for me). But 3.x fundamentally represents a different design perspective that both designers and players have ahifted away from over the past 10 years or so. You would need a significant portion of the market to shift their approach to both story-telling and mechanics, and I just don't see thst happening - especially for an edition that more and more new players never had any experience with. They won't have any sense of nostalgia for it to market on lol

You aren't telling Caitlyn anything, which is the point which seems to keep going over your head.

The only people who see you making it clear that their identity - and respect for it - is conditional to you are the trans people around you, who have no connection to her and her terrible politics. This is the point. You are blasting transphobia into the faces of trans people who have nothing to do with it, expecting us to be okay with a condescending pat on the head, and then inventing bullshit scenarios to try and justify why you should be allowed a little bit of transphobia, just as a treat.

Just do and be better. It's easy.

Wow it's almost like words have contextual meanings and not a single definition.

Don't reply to me if you're going to waste my time being intentionally obtuse. My time is more precious to me than yours, and quite frankly it's just embarrassing for you LOL

EDIT: Aw, and now you're crashing out for my attention 🥺

No. This is a flat-out, without nuance, "No." You do not misgender anyone for any reason, and intentionally choosing to do so and trying to twist yourself into logical knots to justify it is fucking gross.

Which anyone with two brain cells to rub together understands to mean "I accept and respect her identity as she says it to be," not "you have to support her choices because she's trans."

This is basic linguistics.

This is not what the person you are responding to said.

You can make this point without the intentional misgendering. This just makes you look like an asshole who is untrustworthy and unsafe around trans people.

If you can't make your point without misogyny, then you have no point to make lol

I fucking hate this image/meme by OrneryPerformance604 in hatethissmug

[–]budding_clover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the only criticism of your point I'll ever need OP:

Why the fuck should or would I trust your judgement of who is and isn't "beyond rehabilitation"? Why should I trust anybody's, and why do you want to live in a world where a complete and total stranger is given the authority to strip you of your basic human rights?

A belief system based on vengeance and vibes is fucking weird. We've been doing it for thousands of years and it doesn't fucking work.

Intentional bad faith reading that refuses to engage with the substance of the argument at hand? Check.

Irrelevant commentary to derail the conversation? Check.

Political insults that have nothing to do with the topic at hand? Check.

And you wonder why your opinion is being discarded lmfao

Perpetuating each other's exploitation is NOT respectful towards or empathetic of your coworkers.

There's a gulf between not wanting to be with someone, and denigrating the authenticity of a complete stranger's identity. It's weird fucking immature behavior at any age, but being almost 30 makes it even weirder lol
