They don't really take much of an anti-fascist stance. They're more "neutral", which enables the oppressor.

They don't explicitly support trump et al, but they don't really use their platform for good. They could do a lot more to resist and organize.

I guess riots break out all around the world?

I feel like this idea that people are just going to riot and do mass violence is some right wing fear.

Most people, most of the time, are pretty social cooperative creatures.

One, I don't think RFK believes in HIV. He doesn't believe in germ theory. (Ars is kind of a bootlicker site, but their news is pretty good)

Two, everyone who works at ICE should be shot dead. If we have a future, people are going to look back at us with scorn. "You knew about the horrors that lead up to ww2, and you just sat back and let it happen again?" Basically yeah, we're all scared and disorganized, and about a third of our country are rabid fascists who want this to happen.

Counter-hot-take: Rip the charisma stat and its skills out of the game. It's half-baked as it is. The cha classes can be moved to int or wis.

I had an issue with installing mint. Never figured it out. Got the older LTS and it worked fine though. Maybe try a different version?

I don't think I've ever bought a microtransaction or cosmetic. I'm doing my part!

*Ok, i think I paid like $5 into warframe after 200 hours, and I used some fake money from google surveys on pokemon go, so I'm not entirely without sin.

But it still spooked Wall Street, as parent company Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.’s shares plummeted as much as 10% following the news.

I think our economy might be predicated entirely on stupid.

Also, $80 is a lot when typical people's buying power is decreasing. I think like half of americans can't tank a $500 surprise bill, and they want people to blow nearly 20% of that on a video game? Fuck off, capitalists.

Right wing people are so dishonest and stupid, and I can't tell when it's one or the other.

I always encourage my players to paraphrase if they're trying to be more than they are in real life. It's totally fine to be like "I tell him with a lot of big words that he's a doodyhead"

One of my lawyer friends was telling me there's not really a legal mechanism in the US to just like dissolve an organization like the GOP.

Funny, because when I go to the suburbs or other sparsely populated areas, walking around without anybody else feels dystopian. Feels like a post-apocalyptic setting, where everyone else got taken by aliens or plague or something.

We should treat people wearing maga-hats like someone wearing a nazi armband. The outfit is a threat.

And I know if we get through this, there won't be any judgement. People will just be like "oh that's in the past let's just let it be", and people won't pay for their crimes, and the roots of this problem won't be ripped out.

I won't use a urinal unless it's an emergency and no other options are available. They're uncomfortable.

I remember some bar I was at once only had urinals, and I was like "what do you do if you gotta shit??". Apparently the bathroom on the bottom floor had full stalls, but still. Yuck.

Conservatives continue to be garbage

Parents often take time off from work to grieve. Classes are often disrupted when a student dies abruptly. This isn't Skyrim where someone dies and forty seconds later it's "Must be hearing things". Plus, as I said, letting the kid die means the resources spend raising and educating them are wasted.

My point is that "oh if he dies it only affects the family" is stupid.

If I’m on my land I’m gonna do whatever I want. I’ll get drunk and do donuts on my lawn. Maybe I’ll set off 10 pounds of tannerite in my backyard because that’s what people do in the middle of nowhere.

[mean words] Edit: I take that back. I'm hangry. I don't like rugged individualism but that was uncalled for

Should my mom not have allowed me to practice my drums in the barn because the audio was escaping the property and the neighbors could hear faint drumming in the middle of the day sometimes?

Non sequitur.

If it’s on private property who gives a shit. If your idiot son wants to build a structurally questionable tree house and the parents don’t do anything about it and he dies that’s on them.

it's on all of us, because all the money and effort that went into educating and raising that kid is wasted. Plus the rippling effects outward from everyone who knew the kid grieving.

Also the more exceptions you have to rules, the more confusing it is and the more likely people are going to fuck it up.

"Always wear a hardhat on site" - easy. simple. minimal room for interpretation.

"Always wear a hardhat on site when any of the following conditions are true: [a, b, c, d] unless [e, f]" is going to lead to errors, and then people will get hurt.

People aren't that smart. Especially when they're not motivated, or distracted.

People are emotional creatures. They feel a thing, and then pick evidence that supports it and discard evidence that doesn't.

We all do this to some extent- like when people root for a local sports team that's kind of bad, or when someone likes a movie that's unpopular. They'll ignore stuff like a 10 game losing streak or a large plot hole, and focus on the one time they hit a grand slam, or that one quotable scene.

It's mostly harmless when we're talking about small stuff, but when it's about history or social policy it's a problem.

It's not always tourists but stopping in unexpected places is a common irritation in NYC. Like, they're walking on the sidewalk and just stop, and mess up the flow of foot traffic. Maybe to look at their map or to gawk at something. It's extra annoying and a little dangerous when it's on the stairs

Saint Luigi deliver us from these horrible "justices"
