Just joined! Ty.

Seriously. I gave it an honest shot, but it feels like nothing but an anemic shadow of 3.5.

Like. I played 3.5 when it was new and had almost nothing in it, and there was still more in it than there is in 5e.

... Is Sundering not a thing anymore?

That would be the goal of the only genocidal apartheid ethnostate in the Middle East. Working as intended.

Tell me again how this has to do with "defending themselves."

Genocidal monsters.

Looks like something out of Monster Hunter.

Something that could make you good evasion armor if you farm like a hundred of it.

I also miss ahdok. I need more huggable goblin shenanigans in my life!

I just want to say thank you. It's... so unbelievably rare to find someone else on the right side of this in the wild. To not have to fight this fight alone.

Thank you for stepping up, for speaking out, for... all of it.

Plenty of people vote how their parents did; that's just how values work.

Plenty of people vote against how their parents did; that's just how having your own identity works.

Plenty of people vote who think critically about nothing despite their so-vaunted capacity to; those people are idiots, but we don't require them not to be. And really, most of our politicians could use some lessons in empathy, technically capable or not.

None is a reason for denying suffrage.

And nobody should have to struggle to survive; that's a failure of modern society. And again, it's not something we require old people to be tested for; silver spoon trust fund kids who will never know what "struggle" means aren't kept from voting.

We don't require old people to justify their votes. They don't have to be rational enough, empathetic enough, or anything else enough. Old people can vote by rolling dice and nobody will stop them.

At least you followed that far.

I hate this timeline.

Thankfully not all parents are physically abusive.

At this point I have to conclude you're not ready to address this conversation in good faith.

Which would end in...?

You go in the booth, it's Option A or Option B. You fill in the box. Nobody cares why.

What you've said here is a meaningless non-answer based on culturally ingrained prejudice.

In reality, we already don't require old people to actually have or demonstrate either of those things.

Sheltered people and hermits aren't denied the vote. They don't have to have experienced anything but the passage of time, regardless of how little they've filled it with.

People who watch lies on purpose aren't denied the vote. They might have no understanding but misunderstanding and still are able to steer the course of the country based on delusions and propaganda.

Think of every garbage politician you've seen get elected. All the damage they've done. And realize that old people elected every single one of them.

I have a keyboard that supposedly does this. It has never actually worked as advertised.

Sproing!

What are you afraid they'll do?

What are you afraid they'll do that old people don't already do?

Anti-Zionism is not antisemitic.

Lumping in all Jewish people with the genocidal apartheid ethnostate absolutely is.

That's part of my point. We don't require old people to do anything other than... exist for a while? And yet when you start taking about young people all these qualifications start coming out. But stupid people get old too, and nobody keeps them away from the polls.
