yeah, you let those goose and gander comparisons confuse you. there’s good guys and bad guys. the world is better off without one of the two.

yes, you could call it that and what’s ironic about it?

the only thing between us and utopia are conservatives. there’s a simple solution, really.

it’s not the world we live in only because we continue to allow the bad players to stay in the game. the answer is simple.

that’s a weird statement. i never saw your question as an argument for or against anything, nor did i see my replies as such either.

“that’s just the way it is” is a complicated issue. it’s okay to talk about things without taking sides.

for the US to have a vassal state in the middle east.

you really need to go back and look at the history of post WWII. How that cookie crumbled has set the world stage for where it is today. Israel is part of a long term geopolitical chess game that hasn’t fully played out yet.

i’m pretty sure you could crowdsource an assassination and get more results,.

with or without guns?

your cash and your jewelry is what i expect

i don’t do anal.

a couple of years ago, i had a strict ‘first date we eat boomers’ system. it was a lot of fun.

i’m not going to bother to make a separation between sex and gender because i find that to be just a little bit of hair splitting nonsense.

with that in mind, i think the male and female aspects of human life are integral to what it means to be a human. i study a lot of mythology and i dabble a bit in paleontology and neuroscience. i believe that there are significant differences between the sexes that act like a yin and yang. i do think we are out of balance and that most societies are heavily weighted towards male aspects. furthermore, i think we would really benefit from leaning into the female side of our humanity.

i believe in a lot of things that most of you would consider old-fashioned but are actually rooted in thousands of years of well-documented human behavior. furthermore, i believe in science. i’ll punch a guy that hits a girl and i have no shame in saying that.

smart people get pushed out of the public discourse, so we end up congregating in small circles.

i TPK’d a party whose solution was to kill everything they disagreed with and it definitely made the game better with the next set of PCs they rolled up.

the AI is right behind me, isn’t it?

get ready for your mid life crisis at 45. it’s gonna be great. you’re gonna be hip again for like five minutes but it’s gonna be glorious and you will get laid a lot.

trying to grind this goddamn AH-1 heli on warthunder so i can move up to the next shitty american chopper: the huey.

how about the earliest game that had a profound impact on you? Ultima Exodus for me. it had an immersive world you could explore way bigger than zelda. lots of hidden side quests and some mind-blowing secrets. i mean, tracking the phases of the twin moons was actually part of the game. some of the secrets were essential to completing the game which is why i never was able to complete it until i used a walk-through years later.

years later as a veteran DM, it was absolutely the most influential game i ever played.
