There are many things wrong with the laws in the US. I’m not even sure where I’d start

But the other bigger problem is enforcement. Some people do a murder and get a nationwide search. Others the victims family get a “lol can’t help you”.

Recommend reading “the new Jim Crow” for one look at one part of this.

Looks pretty typical to me (longtime nyc resident). It’s rare to see trash, and graffiti is pretty uncommon. People sometimes think the subway is still like The Warriors where it’s just a wall of spraypaint, but not so much.

Oh, I fully support shooting nazis and their collaborators dead. I was taking a shot (pun intended) at the moderators who remove comments like “the guys running today’s concentration camps should be shot”

I think this is one of those pearl clutching instances that won’t take kindly to that kind of language. You need to use the legal system to oppose the corrupt legal system, I guess.

Also Uber just sucks. It’s a private for profit solution (that lost money for years) to transit, which should be a public problem to work on.

Conservatives are like toddlers. Emotion driven to the point of having no mapping to reality, truth, and causality.

This is my favorite new to me song of the month: https://pearlcharlesmusic.bandcamp.com/track/does-this-song-sound-familiar-12-version

No one I know wants to go into the office just-because, but they also don’t want to starve. When the choice is yield or die, it’s not much of a choice.

I really dislike that the incompetent dolts who can’t adapt to the internet are dragging everyone else down. I don’t want to be in an uncomfortable office, losing hours a day to a commute, so someone can walk up to me and say “Hey” instead of using slack.

the well? they’re great. friendly at their shows too.

I imagine there are some “written in blood” laws and regulations that apply to hotels that airbnb is ignoring, too. That should also be addressed.

I read that airbnb lead to rents rise, because it made it so easy for landlords to run their property like hotels. I don’t use them, and kind of think lowly of people that are like “well it’s convenient so i don’t care”.

Feels like there should be large disruptive protests around wherever ICE is headquartered. Surely they have offices?

I do believe that DND is a poor first RPG, and creates a weird survivor bias in the hobby. Because it’s so popular most people try it as their first RPG, and then some of them hate it. Some of them then think the whole hobby is like that, and then leave.

So the bulk of the people left in the hobby are people who like dnd, or at least tolerate it enough to stick around.

One of my friends has no real interest in fantasy, tactical combat (as much as DND is that), or resource management. They had no interest in DND. But they really liked Vampire.

I keep trying to get people to play fate, but all of these games struggle with finding people who will show up. Everyone seems to be just barely holding it together, and asking them to be creative and present once a week seems like a big request

Ah yes because famously the good samaritan paid the innkeeper with fake money. (Not that I expect most self described christians to know any of their bible stories with any accuracy or detail)

Musk should really be removed from power.

I think it depends on how often they’re coming up with dubious takes, and how often there are repeats.

Like if you have to explain that gay people are just trying to live life, and that’s fixing misinformation they got as a youth, fine. Good, even. But if you have that talk and then have to have to again a month later because they “forgot” or picked up more bad ideas? Concerning.

Friend of a friend was always getting talks to patch up his dicey world view, but then he’d go back to the same YouTube or shitty friends and come back two weeks later with a fresh batch of bad ideas. Really have to get to the root of the problem

I love Fate and think it’s much more intuitive. DND tends to crush player creativity with a lot of “sorry that’s just flavor”, and guides players towards “just move and attack”.

The New York City one had a pretty good turnout today
