It’s more than just being about “stupid” people though. After all, who benefits from deliberately under-funding and attacking the integrity of educational institutions?

But earlier this month, he said he would move the company’s headquarters to Austin, citing a new Golden State law meant to protect LGBTQ+ children as the “final straw.”
Imagine being so full of hate for a highly vulnerable group of people that you base your business decisions around it.
It does seem like an oddly specific denial.
Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.
Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.
Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn’t mean that it’s not beneficial to repeat it for others.
The “idiot” comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.
It’s Australia. Everything tries to kill you.
The article has a paragraph later on that says:
In rejecting the plaintiffs’ claims for damages, the court said, “It cannot be said that discussions at the Diet…regarding provisions not allowing same-sex marriage are clearly in violation of the Constitution.”
I suspect the plaintiffs are only appealing that aspect of the judgment.
Stewart’s line about how can another administration be more absurd than the Bush administration dated surprisingly badly.
Does it want the hose again?
My group is about 30-40% of the way through, so I can speak from experience about the later parts of the campaign. But so far we are enjoying it.
It’s a combat-heavy campaign as written, so if your party wants to just roll dice and smash things, you might be fine running it completely as is.
My group is more focused on mystery solving and roleplay; they get more of a kick out of piecing together what happened down there than powering through baddies. One of my gripes about the module is there is a huge amount of back story that’s given to the GM for each area, but few suggestions on how to get that information to the players. I’ve started to tailor some encounters to have more options to use stealth or talking to avoid encounters and/or get more information, as well as adding things like old notes and letters to find.
The other thing I’ve found is, as written, the Vaults can feel very static. The players can clear a few rooms, leave, come back, and everything is where they left it. If you want to making it react more to a party rampaging around, it will take additional work.
Abomination Vaults Expanded (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/418672/The-Abomination-Vaults-Expanded) is one resources I’ve been borrowing ideas from to adding bulk to the campaign, and might be worth looking at.
This sounds like a good way to turn an ally against them.
Does Trump have any leverage on Kavanaugh? He played close to the line with the rules to get him appointed for life, but choosing a person likely to be ideologically symathetic is more of a mutually beneficial arrangement than a favour.
It feels like the best way to get someone who is in a secure position of power like that offside is to tell them they have to do what you say or that they owe you. Kavanaugh can just as easily say Trump is disqualified, and never be told he owes anyone again.
Are you a bot? Because that was a rambling word-salad with no discernible point.
A certain portion of the population seems to already deify anything Trump says.
It depends on what the author was actually trying to say. I’ve never pretended to know what their intention was, and they haven’t added any further commentary to let us know.
You asked why the comment was getting downvoted. I responded with how the comment could be interpreted in a way that warrants downvotes.
You seem to have taken that proposed explanation very personally for some reason.
Way too harsh there.
What if someone wants to be a cripple? Wouldn’t healing them ruin their self esteem?
Your earlier comment was not “what if someone wants to role-play a cripple?” If it was meant to mean that, I don’t understand the relevance of healing hurting their self esteem. Whose self-esteem? The player’s, or the character’s?
The response made sense by querying why would a character want to be crippled, not why a player would find it interesting to do so.
I just got here, but I’d guess it’s because their comment reads like they are saying “no, facists aren’t the bad guys, both sides show contempt for the weak sometimes!” It’s a false balance fallacy.
I’m not sure if that was the intention, or it was just unfortunately worded.
Personally, I’ve always been partial to Nikola Tesla’s alternating current.
Oh, he absolutely should be told to shut his mouth.
The point is the courts have to be a lot more careful about circumscribing a right that has quite strong existing protections versus something that does not.
That’s not comparing the same thing. Beating the crap out of someone is inherently illegal, free speech is not.
Fulifilling your dreams is all about the power of persistence folks! That, and having a friend willing to invest almost $70M in your dream.
