When your party doesn’t have a Cleric, but you don’t want to be a religious fruitcake to support your party, so you just roll up a Circle of the Shepherd druid and get the side bonus of being able to talk to all the beasts, all the time, no need to fw spell slots. And then take Message as a cantrip because you rolled High Elf lineage. Become the single greatest reconnaissance member your party has ever seen.
Cool. The democratic left needs to stop being a bunch of fucking pushovers. If the right is going to play hardball, than play hardball back and fucking win, and fuck the moralists who whine like babies about “BuT tHeN wE’rE nO bEtTeR ThAn ThEM.” Like, bitch, we can worry about that shit after we take care of ousting the pack of right-wing cheating fuckwits with zero regard for the law and rules. Then once shit is back and stable, we can worry about your pansy ass empty do-gooder tolerance that allowed the extreme right a voice in the first place.
I mean, in my own case, I’m such a bloody mess I couldn’t really recommend someone be in a long term relationship with me. Or nothing too deep, anyway. I’d feel like I’d drag them down. But all that aside, the biggest reason I can think of to be hesitant about commitment is that, in commiting, you will find yourself having to give up control of your life at times and making comprises for the other person’s sake. Where as if you are non-comittant, you will have more autonomy to lead your life how you wish.

While it’s cool the major online retailers have delisted the items, somewhere out there, the group that is the actual third party shop that makes the items is still out there. These major online retailers are just distributors. It’s possible the producers may just give up and pack up, but they also may just seek other, less seen avenues of sale through websites that aren’t so pulicly at large.
I’m not, but a friend is. With a couple, actually. He’d inevitably wind up sleeping with them now and again, and at this point one has just become a fuck buddy with no real relationship attached. But really, it’s your own dynamics that matter here, and that’s between you and that person. So how anything winds up going, well, the one’s most qualified to make best guesses are you and them.
The news on this keeps popping up. Couple other articles that were tossed up yesterday from here: https://lemmy.world/post/38217297

Probably none as my TV and controller are both simultaneously down for the count but seeing this suddenly pop up in my feed reminds me that the latest Ys game should have an english release by now and I need to get on that.
Edit: yes it is out and I’m a year late. Ouph.
Introduce that toaster to this toaster.
Dude, you completely left out Abraham. Which is wild given that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all referred to as Abrahamic faiths. While Abraham was descended from Adam and Eve, it is far more accurate to say Israelites trace their heritage back to Abraham. This is because it is Abraham that makes the first covenant pact with God.
Abraham gives birth to two sons. At first, Abraham’s wife is barren, so to have a kid they all agree Abraham knock up his servant. This gives birth to Ishmael. Fourteen years later, Abraham’s wiife finally manages to miraculously conceive, and Isaac is born. And there’s this whole deal where god puts Abraham to the test and tells Abraham he has to sacrifice Isaac to him. And both of them go along with it only for God to go, “Nevermind, guys, it was a test. But since you’ve pleased me by being so faithful, I’ll grant you a powerful line through Isaac (Israel),” and God then sends them a ram to sacrifice instead.
Isaac gives birth to two sons, Esau and Jacob, twins, but Esau was born first. Technically, God’s blessing is his by birthright. Isaac favors Esau, Isaac’s wife favors Jacob. Jacob gains the birthright twice over. Once because Esau returns to camp, hungry as hell one day and just casually trades his birthright to Jacob in return for some lentil stew. Second, when Isaac is pretty much on his death bed, and blind, Isaac’s wife and Jacob trick Isaac into blessing Jacob instead of Esau. Initially, Esau is pissed and Jacob flees. But he eventually comes back and reconciles with his brother and wrestles God (I’m not kidding.) Then his name gets changed from Jacob to Israel. Dude marries two wives, one of which is his sister, and gives birth to twelve sons, which become the twelve tribes of Israel. There’s also a daughter, but this is a patriarchal religion so women don’t matter. This is basically where the Jew as Jews start.
Now, rewinding back a bit, remember that Ishmael guy, born of the servant Abraham knocked up? Yeah, so he and the servant got sent away. But God also promises this servant and Ishmael that Ishmael too, will give birth to a great nation, and that he will have 12 sons himself that will become princes. And it is Islam, specifically, the prophet Muhammed, who traces their roots back to Ishmael. That’s how fucking old the whole Jew/Muslim conflict is.
And then there’s Christianity, which is when some Jew named Jesus was born the son of Virgin Mary and went on to preach love and kindness and got himself sacrificed in a story which really illustrates, once you remove the falsehoods of heaven, hell, and God, that humanity is so crooked they’ll basically kill a man for being too good while praising and pardoning a criminal (Barabbas. He and Christ both get the chance to be pardoned by the people, but they can only choose one. Barabbas is chosen, and Christ gets crucified.) But also yes, as you said, Jesus totally favored the Jews, and did the whole thing with comparing the woman to a dog versus the childeren he was meant to lead (Israelites.)
The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn the U.S. embargo on Cuba for the 33rd consecutive year, with just seven opposed, including the United States, Israel and Ukraine.

And what the fuck was done?
RIP. If it ever happens, please post. I’d enjoy a read.
I would absolutely love to roll a character based around sonic/thunder damage. In concept, the idea of thunderous smite is wonderful. But the reality of not being able to stealth is just harsh.
With a mighty crack of thunder you slam your warhammer into your foes chest, crushing their armor and their eardrums as you send them flying back. When they hit the ground, they uncontrollably tumble and roll before grinding to a halt, knocked prone on the floor about ten feet away.
But then everyone within 300 feet hears the violent rumble of your hammer and rushes to investigate the sound. Suddenly, the whole dungeon is on your ass.
Or Thunderclap! Surrounded by a pack of kobolds, the devious blighters work together to enclose and ambush you with their deadly pack tactics! In response, you slam your hands together, magically enhancing your clap with a thunderous roar that rips through the small band of lizards on every side of you. Two of the three scream as the sound pierces their ear drums, but one is cut short as his skull simply can’t handle the force. His eardrums explode, and he crumples to the ground, blood draining out of his ears, dead. The other screamer recovers, wounded, blood draining from his right ear but still standing. The third remains resilient, obviously disturbed by the aural impact but otherwise unharmed.
The sound travels 100 feet through the kobold den. While you can’t see them, you know you’ve just rang the alarm for the enemy within their own den, and they will be coming, in numbers.
Lmao. Dude, please give a follow up of the session. I’d love to hear how this goes.
I am out of play by many, many years, but man, people threw a big fit back when we got Phyrexian poison counters saying they were OP as fuck. I am not nerd enough to know where it stands relative to the games entire span of cards, but that was definitely a thing. I recognize that’s not a format, but I mostly just played the standard 60 card format. I wound up leaving the game just as commander decks started (fun format tho, but I was done by then.)
Nothing you’re pointing out matters, either. Like I said, no matter who’s right or wrong, no one here is changing anything here with that info. But you yourself are clearly a hypocrite.
You’re not wrong, gerrymandering sucks. But the right wields it unfairly and gets away with it. So we need to do it back. Only when we have enough collective power to dismantle the entirety of gerrymandering at the federal level all at once and for good can it be truly done away with. Until we get to that point, we have to play hardball back, or the right will just continue to get their way.
