  • I do not think any of you actually played 3.5 you praise so much

  • I play 3.5 for a few years. One of my groups swore by it. It was... textured. When you call it a steaming pile of shit, I see your point and honestly agree with you. But I will say it was... completely what it was. It wasn't well designed, but it was immensely interesting. 5e is all of 3.x, but with the interesting parts sanded down. In my estimation, that makes 5e the lesser game.

  • Conservatives push to declare fetuses as people, with far-reaching consequences.

  • It could be interpreted that way... I think? The language it uses refers to seeds.

    The situation (infidelity, the graphic imagery of swelling bellies and rupturing thighs) naturally implies abortion, but the 'Nezre'ah Zerah' implies the potion will cause barreness.

  • That is... a stupefying description of what is written. I had to read the torah in primary school. Half a day, every school day, one book per year, (two for Leviticus), in Hebrew. I was confounded. I thought maybe Rabbi had us skip that part.

    The part you are referring to is referred to as "Sota" which describes a magical ceremony where in a man would bring his allegedly unfaithful wife before a Beis Din, and she could drink a magic potion, snickeringly referred to as "sota water," to prove her innocence. The logic goes that if the woman was unfaithful, "these afflictive waters shall enter your innards, causing your belly to swell and your thigh to rupture" . This could be taken mean an abortion, but in my grade school class, we were very giggly, because we thought it meant she would explode.

    Further, the potion is described being water, dust from the tabernacle floor, and an invocation written down and dissolved in the water (Number 5: 17, and 23), and is explicitly stated it won't hurt an innocent woman. (28). This passage does evoke abortion. But it describes a magical ritual that it claims will only cause abortion in unfaithful women, and the potion provided wont cause anyone to abort (although it is gross). Claiming in instructs an abortion is a massive stretch.

  • allow me to rephrase. They claim that everyone should be able access guns all the time, no matter what. They don't actually believe this. They like the privilege of being able to carry guns and intimidating people they don't think should have rights. They especially hate it when those people pick up guns and warn them to fuck off.

    This has nothing to do with their personal enjoyment of guns, which may or may not be genuine or performative.

  • Witnessing American Fascism

    Jump

  • They don't like guns or laws. They are fascists. They like privileges. They like having rights and other people they don't like not having rights. They don't care about anything else. The traits their leaders exhibit are more important than the things they say.

  • Fine, I will grant you, you aren't fascists. Fascists hate people and want to kill them.

    Tankies love "the revolution" more than the people they want to benefit. You may not see it as breaking a few eggs to make an omelette, but when you sit out an election where the fascists have a better than coin flip odds of seizing power, you are effectively letting them do that. And if you're willing to let trans people die in camps for... what was it? "Enough class consciousness to build" then... well, fuck you and your revolution.

    Like, also this reveals your total all encompassing privilege. Because look dude, if the fascists are putting trans people and immigrants into camps, do you really think they will spare you? Or do you just think you're white enough that you'll go under the radar until your "revolution" happens?

    Also, fuck any revolution that involves taking up the tools and institutions of power. Those need to be ground to dust

  • I stuck with Babish through his expensive weird era because I still felt like I was learning something about cooking, even if i couldnt make his three day Troy pizza casserole or whatever. I still felt like I was becoming a better cook. Recently he switched up his editing style to less voice over, hands only content and more click baity listacles, and more videos where hes messing around in the kitchen. I liked watching the hands only stuff because I could see what he doing, and there wasnt any emphasis on his face, so there less emphasis on his personality, and therefore I felt a little less intimidated as far as trying it myself. The voice overs were also really concise. The end result was also really light weight, and felt like a recipe that didn't have all the SEO "my grandma taught me how to make this cake before she died" garbage.

    Alvin is still making videos in the classic "Babish" style on the Babish channel, and I still watch the vids Andrew puts out in that style, but if i can see his face, I wont even click on the video.

  • I would be generous and interpret that as Leah remembering Bail Organa's wife (who it must remembered, she thought was her mother until like, an hour before that conversation), or else constructing memories of an ideal woman.

    At least, until Obi Wan, but whatever

    Your point still stands. She only found out she was adopted like an hour prior.
