Unironically, yes according to this line of thought.

The vibe I see in the art is cozy fantasy mixed with adult cartoon, and they really need to beef up the non-combat rules to make such a thing mechanically interesting in the game.

I think their game is at odd with their vibes. It’s a combat focused game that wants to be a bright, happy setting with minimal conflict.

Now do I love it? No, because I think having monsters that are just evil are necessary for the game. The culture war comes for us all though

It’s fine. I would never guess that it was for a combat focused TTRPG, but it’s fine. They’re having to fight against people like Musk

They fancy themselves as stars in the golden age of Hollywood, in which scandals make them more interesting, not less credible. Their professional ethics is alien to other fields, and transgressing them is a show of daring.

I think that British and American fantasy writers handle orcs very differently. I don’t think Tolkien or Games Workshop intended their orcs to be seen as Black. I imagine the American writers did racialize them more.

Not going to lie, I am used to people saying that we should abolish the death penalty. I’m not used to hearing we should massively expand it

I think it’s because she took a leave at the publication she was working at after it happened? But I still wouldn’t categorize that as being accountable since she only did it after being caught lol

They all desperately want to have been part of the golden age of Hollywood, and as exciting as that would have been, these people don’t have that juice lol

This is why I follow you as a maverick thought leader. You’re always blazing a new path

It’s amazing how poorly basically everyone understands prayer

This was my first time celebrating that, actually. I really appreciated the emphasis that day on how when we receive communion, we are doing so with the entire church, including those who have passed on

This is where decline in religiosity hurts us. Yes, it’s awful that we lose loved ones, and yes, I have hopes to see them again. An AI simulacrum can’t compare to the hope found in religion for that. I will be biased and say especially the resurrection as taught in Christianity.

He’s a Kennedy. I think for a political nerd, and despite her exciting celebrity pretensions, she is one, that last name transcends everything else.

Is there any other field where violating professional ethics is seen as defensible and admirable? You won’t find many people in my field of tax preparation defending tax fraud, for instance!

You channeled your inner Joyce Carol Oates for this one.

Media figures are really out here thinking they’re as interesting as the subjects they write about, and they are mistaken!

As I said elsewhere yesterday, journalistic ethics are alien to any other kind of philosophical, religious, or professional ethical codes

Hello, I am going door to door to ask if you’ve heard the theory that everyone is 12 now?

I didn’t even realize who had gotten a suspension until I saw that avi. Then I inwardly groaned

Ironically, it’s people say we need to get over our fears of being cringe who find them cringe. No one talking about politics on a microblogging app is cool. We’re all cringe. It’s okay.

Twenty hours for work, four for sleep. The ideal lifestyle.

I read about it in Racism: A Short History by George M Fredrickson

A lot of them have had significant fights with tankies or Bernie supporters. A lot of them seem to default to assuming any criticism of Democrats on here is coming from those groups.

Having not read the book, I have to ask. Is it antisemitic? That seems to be the one form of bigotry that can make Rod uncomfortable. So if the book isn’t antisemitic, I could see him being more on board with its horrors.

I have started attending an Episcopalian church, and yes, it’s basically normal people’s headquarters
