I’m… Mixed on this. I feel like what Dungeon World (1e now?) has going for it, and what has extended its longevity, is the community around it that has contributed so much due to the open nature of the product. Will this be just as open?
Plus, Chasing Adventure fills that really cool niche of a 2e. So does Stonetop. How will this improve on either of those?
Because arbitrary lines in a desert ought not invalidate peoples freedom?
Because there is no valid metric other than skin color to initially round all these people up and put them in camps where we can concentrate on if they are actually supposed to be here or not?
Because some of those people put in camps where we can concentrate on whether they are supposed to be here or not will be American citizens deprived of their rights based on their skin color?
Because trains will run 24-7 for 5+ years to deport 15+ million people?
Because a subset of the population is convinced central America = Mexico and we can just dump them in Mexico?
Because just that transportation alone will cost over half our GDP even before we get in to detention and feeding, investigation and appeals processes?
Because if we don’t do the above then we are denying people the right of due process, and what does that say about us as a society?
Because most people are here illegally because of expired visas, so they can just reapply anyway?
Because in 2022 undocumented immigrants paid 96.7 billion dollars in taxes, and the right wants to just do away with that and God forbid someone making millions has to pay a little extra?
Because it’s a buzz word used by the right so people can be openly racist when there is zero plan in place because then they lose their wedge issue?
Because this zero-plan maneuver will decimate our economy, just so a certain subset of the population can feel that their skin color wins because Jesus said so or something?
Actually yes lol I do DDP Yoga
Usually less than 100g a day for protein. I stay as far away from oxalates as possible I would be surprised if I have 10mg/day. I know 40mg/day is considered low oxalate.
I have gotten kidney stones frequently since 2006
Cut out tea, nuts, potatoes, chocolate, whole grains, carrots, spinach, and everything else. Keep my sodium around 1500mg/day
I still form them prolifically
I had a 2cm stone back in March that they tried blasting and ended up getting chunks of the stone stuck between the stent and the wall of my ureter. After keeping the stent in for 3 months my urologist gave up and another one picked me up. When he went in to laser the stones, he had to laser chunks that had adhered to the stent before he could get it out
They shockwaved my other side last month and got the newer stent out and had my follow up today and there’s two more little ones on the left side already forming up
Next step is an endocrinologist

I get great entertainment from reading/trolling right wing conspiracy boards. I would point out frequently that Wilbur Ross worked for the Rothschilds, their one world government enemies for years, the ones responsible for 9-11, the ultimate Illuminati Powers That Be, according to Alex Jones and his ilk. By their own rationale, Trump must be a Rothschild pawn.
They are fine with that now, I guess.

I think it’s hilarious because there is a good segment of the population that grew up in the 90s whose parents would be like… “George Michael is ‘weird’… Melissa Etheridge is ‘weird’”
So now, their euphemism for a non-heterosexual person has been turned around on them and that’s great. Their hate and non-acceptance is now what is “weird”
I do outside sales in Ohio and I’m on the road a lot
The amount of people who have Trump / Pence signs and have put white tape over the P and E to make a V and A is … Surreal. Like why do you still have signs from an election 8 years ago? Their house is probably full of cats and hoard and bugs. Can’t wait to get updated signs?
We did do the right thing in most of the special elections these last twelve months, though
Two chances. Two of them to spell altar the right way!
Also Crown and Skull has the best dungeon design format and rules. This is my hill.
I guess in Chappelle’s view women are just their cycle or something
I watched The Closer. It is in fact that bad. I’m not giving him the time for anything else
Idk why that’s the argument his defenders make, that we wouldn’t criticize it if we watched it. Maybe you’re skinnermeming yourself. “I can’t be wrong it’s the trans supporters that are wrong!”
That was… The point though? He thinks trans women aren’t women. That was like a full third of the show’s transcript, and I even left some off
So what do you view as the point of saying all these things or the point of the show itself?
I guess the point was about the one token trans person he deemed worthy of his respect (who killed herself, probably unrelated) bc she was totally fine with him making fun of her identity so that makes it ok to just dead gender her after talking about how he pretty much bullied her and she took it bc of his position in the industry so that makes it ok to just degrade whole group of people
Or something
Go off though if you wanna defend transphobia I guess
His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.
Here’s some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven’t watched anything of his shit since but it’s probably just him whining even more now:
Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.
And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!
If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.
trans-bitch from the picture.
A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.
I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.
“Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.
Gender is a fact.
Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?
I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.
A Supermarket in California by Ginsberg. Idk why it just always has stuck with me
I prefer games with player-facing rolls. I also prefer emergent gameplay so I’ll roll on random charts, but that’s it. Stakes are stakes, and character death should be something in the forefront of player minds imo
What stakes do you have in your games? What does your prep look like?
Idk it’s like my second favorite edition of D&D©️ after b/x. There are dozens of us!
Texas? Where’s the “you need the 2nd to defend the 1st” crowd?
The current GOP is still entrenched in their Southern Strategy. To quote Lee Atwater:
This plus fundamentalist Christianity is the basis of the modern GOP playbook, only now it’s Latinos that are the target, at least moreso than blacks
Sure we can’t distill it down to just racism since the GOP has become so entrenched with the religious right, so let’s just call it Christofascist Racism, but let’s not ignore 60 years of Republican racism and bullshit
Edit: Lemmy blocks the n-word even when it’s a direct quote, but Atwater was using that derogatory term for blacks in the above quote
