Is it too much for a #ttrpg where we play as the #warcraft3 heroes without just reskinning existing classes?
Maybe it's time to pick #icrpg back up, it handles items more similarly to the RTS gameplay than WC5e.

I have started responding to any complaints with “I have to google whether I can use the bathroom in a state before I travel, but sure that sounds hard too” when I’m annoyed.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Chuck Schumer as leader of Senate Democrats made sense if you assume his real job is to be able to fundraise and keep the money spigot turned toward legislators so they spend less time begging on the phone.
genuine question tho: who would bother donating to Democrats now, esp. Senate Democrats?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
