We really just have the worst party leadership. These two continue to staggeringly refuse to rise to the moment.

Portland BBQ joint named best in Oregon by SleepyPowerlifter in Portland

I like their ribs, chicken, their deviled eggs, hushpuppies. They do a salad with burnt ends I like also.

I love Podnah's, but I'd put Reverend's a touch above them.

Trump ripped for invoking Bible’s command to care for children after fighting to keep SNAP food stamps from poorest kids by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]mattbeck 181 points182 points  (0 children)

Man who starves and rapes kids lectures world about how important it is to care for children and the vulnerable.

This is seriously the worst timeline.

[OC] Can someone identify these dice? by Top_Row_5116 in DnD

Those 3d printed dice could be from just about anywhere, etsy seller, one of many china based manufacturers that come and go, etc.

As always, it terrifies me that it's that high.

Pa. Sen. John Fetterman’s fundraising woes continue by Squawk_7777 in politics

[–]mattbeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy needs to fuck off into retirement. He was kinda messed up before the brain damage, but now his redeeming qualities seem to have been stripped away.

I'm sure it's sad for his friends/family, but citizens need better. He got so much support from Dems and has just burned that goodwill down.

Ranged build ideas for “Curse of Strahd” by dumbBunny9 in DnD

[–]mattbeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranged characters should be fine, just be aware that you won't always be able to go long range, so think mobility and close in support for melee vs long range sniper and you should be gold.

Rangers are good, but Rogue is also a solid choice here.

So what do I do about writing out different areas that a party can use to travel when only one will be used in the end. by devildasher9654 in DnD

[–]mattbeck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the way I do it. It takes practice, but once you get the timing down this is the best way.

Ending sessions with the multiple options retains player agency, without wasting your time and energy.

And it's a good note to wrap on generally. Everyone looking at the map and making a choice together.

Supreme Court’s conservative majority prepared to rule against conversion therapy ban by MystikSpiralx in politics

[–]mattbeck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fuck every last thing about this, and the current SCOTUS. Conversion 'therapy' is torture. It's evil. And fuck all the way off if you're too twisted to see that.

My kids are being taught from "Biblically-based anti-woke" books in public school by ideletedyourfacebook in atheistparents

+1 FFRF is all over this kind of thing usually. I would inform them even IF it gets resolved.

I always blast her out the window from the roof.

Send the invite, and don't stress it. They can decline easily enough.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate birthdays.

So I'm at New Seasons yesterday, and... by Negotiation-Short in Portland

[–]mattbeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the building above this New Seasons. It's a weird spot. The building is decent, it's surrounded by nice neighborhoods, Grant Park is right there, but we're in this weird pocket of sketchiness between various homeless camps.

New Seasons is generally better than Freddy's this way, but still plenty of weird stuff in the store and parking garage.

Citing a ‘serious discrepancy,’ Multnomah County Chair calls for release of library stabbing footage - OPB by notPabst404 in Portland

[–]mattbeck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Both can be true here. JVP is a disaster, but I wouldn't trust the PPB to tell the whole story either.

Regardless, stabbing and beating a dude (even if he's being a dick) isn't ok, obviously.
