They haven’t updated the Champion yet, I think it’s scheduled this quarter? But with Alignment gone they indicated they’d make the “subclass” system diety based, as it should be.

No, you specifically need a diety in the original and in the rework.

Specifically, in the rework all alignments have been removed, therefore the alignment requirements for the champion subclasses, and the champion subclasses themselves have been removed.

Instead, in the rework you select a diety, you must then adhere to that diety’s edicts and anathemas, and then you are granted specific powers from the diety according to that diety’s domains.

Deity and Cause: Champions are divine servants of a deity. Choose a deity to follow; your alignment must be one allowed for followers of your deity. Actions fundamentally opposed to your deity’s ideals or alignment are anathema to your faith. A few examples of acts that would be considered anathema appear in each deity’s entry. You and your GM determine whether other acts are anathema. You have one of the following causes. Your cause must match your alignment exactly. Your cause determines your champion’s reaction, grants you a devotion spell, and defines part of your champion’s code.

Grassroots. Not Routs.

Great point! They do vary wildly by style and subject matter, while all being masterful IMHO. Incredible talent.

I mean, fair. All great books!

The Culture by Ian M. Banks. It’s a little difficult to approach, but an incredible exploration of Sci-Fi, humanity, AI, and life in general. Unlike a lot of other great Sci-Fi (like The Expanse, which I also highly recommend) it’s gritty, but overall The Culture is a hopeful and optimistic take on the progress of humanity and technology.

The best books are The Player of Games, Look to Windward, and Excession.

Depending on how you’re feeling, I think you can skip The State of the Art, Matter, and Inversions, though they’re worth an eventual read. They’re just less connected to the main Culture story.

It’s a series that truly changed me and my perspective on life.

I can promise you it isn’t the engineers fucking up Boeing. It’s the old macdonald-douglas management / exec team.

Which might make an even better comedy honestly.

I like it being an elected position, rather than the police or local government appointing someone. That way if someone is egregiously against the grain of their community the community can act.

However, like so many elected positions, there should be real minimum qualifications to get on the ballot, like a 4 year degree or equivalent experience in a related field, a neutral third party psych eval, etc.

That was such a wild time with a new scandal or two every morning. I don’t blame anyone for forgetting.

I hope to God I don’t ever have to explain to my son or daughter how Trump got elected a second time.

He withheld aid from the president of Puerto Rico. Which… Was him.

Not here in Minnesota. Thanks Mr. Walz!

To attack a narcissist, you need to attack the cracks in the reality they paint for themselves.

It just so happens that as someone who has been an enthusiastic and professional grade debater for 40+ years, Harris also knew exactly how to do this without getting his mud on herself, and she knew to do it just as he was hoping to hit his stride.

It was great to watch. So many politicians from so many walks of life have been completely humiliated by Trump’s ridiculous persona. He’s so inflammatory, so full of lies, and so narcissistic professional politicians have been reduced to flinging his poo back at him. Instead Harris made him wallow in it.

You know that famous Texas saying: “Don’t tread on me, unless you’re a christofacist, then HARDER.”

Oh to be clear, it’s all humor. At least mostly, I’m sure there are RMS level fanatics somewhere that truly believe some of the BS.

This is something as old as time. I’ve seen it prolifically on Reddit (though not in the Emacs community, they generally discourage memes), various Linux forums, old Usenet, various programming forums… I’m not trying to be evasive, but it’s hard to provide examples that aren’t specifically cherry picked, which wouldn’t benefit the conversation much.

There’s even a Wikipedia page dedicated to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war

See if it’s supported by Lineage OS.

Bruh 😂 the Emacs user community absolutely constantly shit on Vim users. When they added Vi(m) bindings they literally named it ‘evil mode’, and they constantly make fun of people who use it, and spacemacs, and the latest flavor of (neo)vi(m), and all the extensions necessary to make vim halfway useful as an ide, etc etc etc.

If you think Jill Stein represents any sort of real leftist ideology, I have a number of bridges to offer you.

Haha, wow that was crazy, right everyone? Geeze, why did we even do that thing we did? What was that even? So weird!

Anyway, everything is back to the way it was before! Maybe even better! You can all come back now from the various forks and open alternatives you’ve spent the last 18 months migrating to!

Amen.
