This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this, why do so many racists argue that they’re not racist?

I think because they have a simple, shallow, understanding of the world.

They believe racist is bad. But they don’t really know or accept why.

They believe they are a good person. Axiomatically.

Thus, they cannot be racist because racist is bad.

“divisive” is such a stupid attack. It has no substance. Sometimes people are divided for good reasons!

Probably max out all skills by spending time in appropriate settings. If I can learn magic as per, say, mage the awakening, then I’m doing that as well.

Then I’m coming back here and fixing the world with extensive application of five point Mind and Fate magics.

i did some volunteering for zohran. Most of the people I talked to were very enthusiastic about him. I’m cautiously optimistic

For some reason all I could see was the Ork in work and was trying to figure out how orks feel about wealth inequality. Then I figured it out

Easier maybe, but less likely to have the best outcomes. I’m sorry dating has been bad for you, and the apps are absolutely predatory, but there’s always hope

Emotions are unfortunately tied to certain political issues, thats the way it is.

Does that mean the topics that elicit emotions are invalid? What does it mean?

Ok, let me amend my position: body mass is not a universal deal breaker. There are people who will reject someone on appearance or weight, but there are many people who would find that same person attractive.

What does this mean exactly?

If your an average Joe like me, there is no reason your identity should be extremely political.

I feel like you almost discovered the concept of privilege here.

If you consistently become emotional about political issues, you might need to take a step back and re-examine yourself.

But then kind of whiffed here.

Someone’s identity as a gay person or black person should not be “political” (whatever that means. Care to define it?). But it is.

Like, it was in living memory that black people had to sit in the back of the bus, and couldn’t buy property in certain places. Women couldn’t open checking accounts of their own until like 1974. Trans people are routinely subject to hate and danger.

Why do you think people are “regurgitating propaganda” rather than describing their experiences? Why is your baseline cool and normal and theirs is “led by the nose”?

And it’s extremely lossy to compress all of politics down to “sides”. There are details. People experience and believe things. It’s not just like rooting for a baseball team (though for some people it can be, admittedly).

I know plenty of larger men who are happily dating. The problem isn’t the body mass.

My friend has a toddler and I always spoke to her like a regular person who just happened to not know things. She seemed to respect it a lot.

No advice for running it, but feedback from a player: It’s not to everyone’s taste. I never liked how my character was always fucking up, and never felt competent. It was a downward spiral of trauma and tragedy, and I really disliked it. If I want to see fuckups and things getting worse all the time, I can go to work.

So maybe remember to give players some bright spots now and again.

It’s hard to break into the mainstream when the mainstream is increasingly owned by rich assholes. They have a lot of influence over culture. Not total control , but enough that many people who might have found punk instead brain rot through their day in Spotify or tiktok or whatever.

I think it would be pretty funny if jesus did return and cast all these rich assholes into the lake of fire. Because they fucking deserve it.

Innate spell resistance is hot.

Still mad about

It’s funny because a lot of the people complaining about immigrants and food programs and the like also call themselves Christian. Christianity is pretty specific about how to treat the sick, poor, and foreign.

I know you can justify anything in religion. People do some impressive backflips to fit “I’m a good person” into their bad person behavior world.

I remember when I played ff10 thinking “Rikku is kind of hot”, and then reading she’s 15 in the fiction. 17 in the sequel where she’s even more naked. Nope. Why? Unnecessary. Just make her an adult!

At least ff7 Tifa is 20, which is still a little young. I didn’t have a big crush on her, but I did think her suplexing building sized monsters was hot.

There’s some truth to this, but I don’t want to be the white guy telling the new hire in the US in 2025 “our line length is 88”. They probably won’t think anything of it, but if they do they probably won’t think I’m into Chinese superstition.
