having more variance in player capabilities and unique strengths (this build can fight orcs forever without getting tired!) that can kind of shape a campaign is much better than all the shit that tries to reduce variance and balance, keeping players at similar levels of general capacity just isn't worth the effective homogeneity.

what I liked about 3.5 was that it was insane, and the system was exploitable in ways the GM could not predict. it let you surprise even a railroady GM. there's a kind of vibrancy that gives to a fantasy world. I think for a lot of people, that was the first time they saw anything like that. it was a tedious 90s/00's kind of good.

it was tedious, and required knowing far too many rules. it was a tedious sprawling 90s/00's kind of shitty. I don't think it was a good system on balance, I just think it's better than any other D&D, unless pathfinder counts.

and you can absolutely play a non-wizard, you just have to be as broken and weird as the wizards are.

trump would never let an immigrant soo much as touch him. I bet not one ever has.

is this why the fascists think all drag queens are pedophiles?

it's still wrong, but it makes more sense why they think that now. and way more gross.

okay but all cops, conclusively, ARE bastards, and we should say it so no idiot idealistic kids think they can join and be the good one.

because its true, and they are. all of them.

if one ever stopped being a bastard, they would stop being a cop pretty quick. usually via training accident.

good aesthetics and good vibes ≠ good intentions

and its the vibes that liberals really care about. its the obsession with feelings and aesthetics over truth. which is also why it's such fertile soil for fascism to grow in. scratch a liberal, break the good vibes, snap them out of it, make them look at a homeless person, and they go fasch real quick. they certainly do a lot of shit fascists would approve of, they just kick some sand over it after. for example: the homeless purges about to sweep through california were ordered by a liberal, with the broad approval of liberals.

the concentration camps for migrants were built as much under liberals and fascists. as long as they dont have to see it, any amount of horror is fine. if it helps them not see suffering, any amount of horror is encouraged. they're nice, they're pleasant, but they are not friends, and the assumption that we're natural allies, that they can behave as badly as they want and still count on left support is how american politics got as fucked as they are.

kill enough people, eventually you'll get a genuine piece of shit who deserved to die.

similarly, if you talk enough shit (and they do), you'll eventually be right. kind of like a stopped clock, you know? shitty people can be right about things, and that doesn't make them any less shitty. arguably doesn't even make them right.

I feel like, as an american, I can't really talk shit about other countries being dictatorships.

its not the means, its the product.

the level of cognitive dissonance we have

USA #1! EAT IT COMMMIES!

because they live in a delusional fantasy world where belief in things corellates with warm fuzzy feelings more than congruence with material reality, "truth" is socially reinforced, and... shit, shit this reminds me of something.

it would both lose you weight and disprove perpetual energy people. plus, the more you eat the more you lose!

I'm kinda selling myself on it.
