I agree with you, but there have absolutely been games (specifically in Pathfinder 1E) that I had to approach from a mindset of trying to win. PCs can get so ridiculously overpowered in that game that it can be difficult to balance combat properly and sometimes requires you to pull out all the stops to make combat encounters engaging.

Ok? It's worth applauding them for choosing that stance. I'm still not going to judge Cena too harshly for opting out of a conflict that he can't really impact anyway, when by all other accounts he seems to be a pretty admirable person.

It's not like he said "Taiwan must immediately surrender to the Chinese government". He just chose not to get stuck in the middle of it. You may see that as cowardly but it's easy to hold that position behind a shroud of anonymity.

Edit: It's all lip-service anyhow. I'm not going to bother going down the list but I would imagine most of it's members don't exactly have a huge following in China, where Cena does. I'm sure Ted Cruz is super upset about not being able to enter the country.

I probably worded that poorly. I'm really mean in terms of scale. Spacey is for whatever reason coming to mind. Not to excuse his absolutely abhorrent behavior, but really old allegations of arguable "consensual" sex (with a minor) is just not comparable to sticking your finger in the eye of the CCP. Will Smith might be a better example.

I'm sounding a lot like an apologist when really I'm just trying to say it's difficult for me to judge Cena for saying "I didn't mean to offend anyone and love the Chinese people" when it isn't my career on the line.

TBF celebrities bigger than him have been cancelled for lesser offenses than taking on the CCP.

We need to stop entertaining this narrative. Don't give them the clicks. Just assume that he will win if we don't vote like our lives depend on it- cuz, well...

This was the most memorable thing about covid for me besides the fatigue. I rarely get headaches but it gave me the worst headache of my life for a solid week.

When it's no longer working sometimes you have to abandon being the better man and punch a bully in the mouth.

"If we don't use all this killy stuff that we paid for that's just wasteful."

I don't like this being a focal point, but I think it's worth asking if you don't mind: what is your income like? Reality being what it is, that can make a measurable difference.

Hey, speaking as a construction worker, get fucked. OSHA keeps people like me alive. Just get fucked. I cannot express this passionately enough.

What a stupid argument.

If people hate your guts chances are you're not a good manager.

Schoolie mad!

Minsc is getting a big punch up for the nostalgia factor. He's a beloved character from the original games and has been featured in other D&D stories.

WTF are demonstrable analytical skills?

Anyway I hope I hope online artists, and authors are able to use this to sue AI companies for stealing their copyrighted works.

No no no no, this is part of the trickle down economics we've been promised for decades. It only works going down, not punching up.

In Texas we have summer heat that even an air conditioned house can't keep up with at times. It can get hot enough that a some home AC systems will run and run and not maintain a comfortable temp.

Sorry you upset the hive mind buddy. You're absolutely right, but there are tons of people out there that can't even handle literal seconds of inconvenience. It's just not that big of a deal.

Wtf does governing mean in Texas?

"Fuck you, I got mine."

Don't make the mistake of underestimating the opposition. He's not an idiot and knows exactly what he is doing.
