I've seen this movie
  • I'll take "winwing not charging $300 for what's realistically half the quality of VKB" over trying to land a real plane.... and I own a PA28.

  • Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites
  • Y'know the French did this "publicly execute the rich" thing before. Worked out pretty great for them..... maybe we should learn a thing or two.

  • unsure why we are surprised lol
  • They're comment is wrong. But non-marxian communism exists. For example council communism.

    But a Tankie is basically a Leninist/Stalinist/Maoist communist who dick rides authoritarianism.

  • [OC] Brackish

    All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt Stolen from the world their youth the delta mix Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault

    Though women try to shield them from the stiffened gault They are dashed and churned into those bluish bricks All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt

    A purity they chase as if their ends they think they'll halt Yet purity escapes and dies along the River Styx Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault

    As girls do age and stiffen up like malt To be like brick and stone for society's new picks All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault

  • The ends justify the means?

    Hypotheticaly then: if I had a 100% guarantee that murdering all babies would get them into heaven, but you'd go to hell, is it morally right to murder all babies? The ends justify the means, do they not? We need to get babies to heaven! So murder them all!

    No, it's absolutely still monstrous. Because utilitarianism is stupid.

  • [OC] [FB] Bluebirds

    Bluebirds flit about the garden as I watch a moment pass in time as I cry They flit about and sing a song for me keep company as I sit alone and stare

    "What is it like to fly?" I ask the bluebirds yet ne'er an answer do they ever give "Stay a moment please?" I ask the bluebirds yet ne'er a one does ever stay for me

    They mustn't understand me, thinks I as the bluebirds carry on That's right, they cannot answer so and yet the bluebirds call

    Rage within boils over like Vesuvius as the bluebirds mock me still "Answer, damn you!" I do to them so shout yet still no answer is their's given

    A treat! A treat will liken them to me! I think as I brandish then some bread Yet eat they do and no answer still is their's as they mock my gift with silent pecks

    Will I never be free? Shall I perish here then? I think as the songbirds sing their song "You mock me still, just leave me be!" I cry as tears do then I shed

    But birds know not my prison cell they know just gardens free They cannot speak some truth to me a truth they'll never know

  • Guess who I am now perfectly with a "happy accident" happening to?

  • Hundreds dead in Israel and Gaza, thousands injured after Hamas launches rockets, Israel declares war
  • War crimes are explicitly not terrorism by definition. If you need a basic high school education though there's hopefully a public school near you. This subject and topic is covered under civics.

  • Hundreds dead in Israel and Gaza, thousands injured after Hamas launches rockets, Israel declares war
  • Wars are by definition lawful. Sorry you're wrong

    It's also not a twisted definition. It's the literal dictionary definition that all countries use when defining terrorism.

    And no, if war time acts were not lawful, all war is terrorism which it isn't so again you're wrong.

  • Hundreds dead in Israel and Gaza, thousands injured after Hamas launches rockets, Israel declares war
  • Israel can't be called terrorism because terrorism must be—by definition—unlawful

    the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

    Emphasis mine.

  • Hundreds dead in Israel and Gaza, thousands injured after Hamas launches rockets, Israel declares war
  • "Hey so I know we've been doing a genocide but look, we're being really nice when we bomb innocent civilians homes by letting them know we're going to bomb their homes."

    This (a) doesn't excuse literal genocide and (b) is just a "nicer" version of exactly the thing they're appalled Hamas just did. You don't get to cry foul if you're going to retaliate with a tit for tat play.

  • Hundreds dead in Israel and Gaza, thousands injured after Hamas launches rockets, Israel declares war
  • They are terrorists. That's literally what they are. The fact that attacked an evil fascist state's city doesn't change that.

  • "The Donald Trump show is over": Trump tried to make his trial a campaign spectacle. He failed
  • Tbf, no good lawyer wants to work for him because he keeps doing a fucky wucky every five seconds.

  • Yes. You don't technically have to show for civil cases though.

  • The only books I have physical copies of are for ttrpgs. And even then I have a digital copy.

  • Most Blu-ray's now come with digital files. You can upload these to a server like Plex (this requires you to setup a Plex server which I don't expect the average consumer to be capable of, but uploading it to a MacBook or whatever is basically enough) to digitise your collection. Now you still own the physical media, and have a digital version of it as well.

    And this is completely legal.

    You could also skip the buying the physical Blu-ray part. But that is less than legal (but you're unlikely to get caught.... just saying, yar har)

  • Anti-capitalist ≠ tankie

    In fact Communist ≠ tankie

    Tankies are specifically defenders of Marxist-Leninist communism and their one party state rule (which is ironically not communism, it's Stalinism which is a form of autocratic socialism)

    Jinxed Halfling Time Oracle

    So to help get this community off the ground I'm gonna post a recent build I made to accentuate the Jinxed Halfling's "class fantasy" of manipulating luck and fortune.

    So obviously our Ancestry is Halfling and we're taking the Jinxed Halfling Heritage. We're also going to pick up the Chosen One Background to further accentuate the idea of manipulating (or in this case, delaying) fate through fortune effects and debuffs. Lastly we're taking the Oracle Class with the Time Mystery (Fate Domain). So we're not really going for a super optimal build here and are more focusing on the fantasy of having a lot of things that interact with our core character concept.

    We're going to focus our Ability Boosts into CHA, WIS, DEX, and CON, our skills we're going to pick up the usual suite of face skills and focus on Deception and Diplomacy and pick up the Distracting Shadows feat to help us be harder to hit. So now with Prophecy's Pawn we can reroll failures and force others to take a penalty to their own rolls. We also have Temporal Distortion to allow us to diversify our debuffs a bit and be used more often than Jinx.

    At level 2 we're helping out our ability to stay at range with Reach Spell so we can extend Temporal Distortion or make a 1 action Heal have range so we can conserve our actions unless necessary. We'll also take the Lie to Me skill feat.

    At Level 3 we'll increase Deception to Expert and take Discreet Inquiry to help our information gathering abilities, this isn't useful in all campaigns but it's useful in mine so if you're in a less intrigue based campaign I'd take Dubious Knowledge or Group Impression instead. We're also going to make Heal and Restoration as our signature spells (mostly cause my party needed a healer).

    Level 4 we're picking up Vision of Weakness to get another Focus Point and Courtly Graces to help schmooze the nobility (gotta push them face skills). This doesn't seem like a big level but the increase in Focus Points is huge and allows you to maintain Temporal Distortion more effectively. We're going to be retraining this to Divine Aegis once we hit level 6.

    Level 5 we push our Diplomacy to Expert and Boost our 4 core abilities and pick up Cultural Adaptability so we can take Courteous Comeback from the Human Ancestry feats.

    Level 6 we take Advanced Revelation and Cat Fall (we had a lot of people falling off cliffs....) and retrain Vision of Weakness to Divine Aegis.

    This is far as I've planned out the build but if it progresses in any strange ways I'll make sure to update this.
