@JenKatWrites Unknown Armies (2e) and Eclipse Phase are the two I'd at all recommend. I don't care for BRP/RQ/CoC

with all due respect: what the fuck
Monster Hunter@monsterhunter
Rompopolo, a bulbous Brute Wyvern found lurking in areas of deep oilsilt within the Oilwell Basin. Watch your step when facing this monster, lest you fall foul of its ability to inject gas from the tip of its tail into the surrounding oilsilt for explosive results! #MHWilds

The best argument against the electoral college is that none of the contentious issues that we vote for representatives on can have their position premised on geography.

@smerjpoo @erikstrobl there is no single conservative belief that is not a path to destruction in the name of raw, unyielding ego. none. everything you believe is monstrous, and should be purged from all reasonable society.
fuck off.

I was given the impression by several extremely annoying Democrats that a major reason why we needed to vote for you was to keep Republicans out of power because they were, quote, "going to destroy Democracy."
Kamala Harris@KamalaHarris
Today, I am announcing that as president, I will create a bipartisan council of advisors to give feedback on policy and inform my administration. Our democracy needs a healthy two-party system.

@erikstrobl There’s a few of us good conservatives left. Have hope.

The Last Jedi reaction was when I decided that the only just world is one which never satisfies a fucking Star Wars fan.

@anukasan1977 @jjo69420 I've run into a lot of wildly stupid people on this godforsaken site but most have at least a touch more self-awareness than you.
English
@jjo69420 Sorry, but you *fail to understand* “the basic text” of those works, & their politics.
The frames of *Star Trek* & *Buffy* were broadly individual-rights, classical-liberal:

I’ve told this story before, but I left the press screening of “The Last Jedi” talking to a fellow critic saying, “It was well-made, but I wish it took off its kids’ gloves. Fans are mature adults who can engage with big ideas. I don’t get why it’s so gentle.”
Boy was I wrong.

@Rig @AZantifascist @mushroomJenja @GBBranstetter hilariously we actually did get banned from international chess competition
English
So everyone outraged by what happened to Imane Khelif is going to leap to defend this young woman from the same dehumanizing effort to humiliate her, right. Because it's the harassment we opposed and not merely that it targeted someone who wasn't trans, right

@AZantifascist @mushroomJenja @gaynarcan @GBBranstetter when you wield that rhetorical tool in absentia of *any other discussion or activity* it is inherently sus!
Its the same rhetorical mechanism as "well that police officer *thought* his life was in danger because xyz"
English
@AZantifascist @mushroomJenja @gaynarcan @GBBranstetter What if it was chess? What if it was curling? What if alien rock people want to compete in tae-kwon-do?What if what if what if what if what if what if what if what if what if what if. imagining situations that "seem plausible" is a rhetorical tool

@machineiv No apathetic suburbanite in the midwest stayed home because of leftists on twitter being passionate.

@machineiv Also just...most people who voted voted for Hillary! The argument doesn't stand on its own face. This does nothing to persuade whichever 10,000 people didn't vote in Wisconsin or Ohio or wherever who probably didn't vote because they don't give a fuck at all.

If the "civics lesson" is what blocks them from doing the right thing, I expect them to attack and dismantle the "civics lesson."
English
Once again, if your counter argument to "why didn't Dem leadership do anything" is "something something civics" that is...not a good advertisement for the benefits of having them in power.
English
It isn't two different points on a quality spectrum, its an entirely different thing altogether.
English
Okay so I've seen some discourse because of the "Jason" post about Actual Plays.
So, the thing about the "Matt Mercer Effect" is *not* that you can't be "as good at D&D" as professional actors.
Its that what they are doing isn't even really anything like playing D&D.

@AlinaIsYou It's just...that he was all alone. Always by himself. Never anyone to share the game. A man who lived in dreams - that's who he was.
