Objective reality is real. Some things are better than other. God is the sum of the better. You will be judged by your allegiance to the better. The damned writhe because the presence of God reveals their error that they try and fail to deny.
@NIKKIoekaki@StephenG4242 After a look at translations of "envy", I don't think Japan has a word that capture what we mean in English. In English, "envy" means the resentment of a good other's possess that you don't, and the desire that arises to destroy or corrupt that good
@NIKKIoekaki@StephenG4242 More evil than that; it's envy. Good people feel admiration when they see excellence and strive to emulate. The wicked hate how inferior they feel when they see excellence and actively try to destroy and profane the good. In the west they have taken over most of the culture
@RX_9999_2 Osamu Tezeku's adopting the big eyes used by western Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse and Betty Boop has made anime characters look more white rather than narrower eyed Asian
@cirsova Just wanted to say you deserve a great thank you. Wouldn't have discovered Hernstrom or Kamen America without you. Backed multiple Kickstarters for them which can be traced back to you. Greater than mammon you've magnified the peak and good in the world
@RuleOfThule TBF, when Jeffro stopped posting I got out of the loop on D&D because none of you were as engaging as the GOAT. So was a little off put by the JARGON on Dunder’s podcast. Thankfully Bdubbs covered all your asses by stepping up and clarifying all the acronyms
@cirsova@ChuckKirkCorpse What does it say about Jeffro that he will get feds on a totally different topic from their usermane trying to demoralize about how to best run elfgames? Trying to spoof his book title? Fuck those guys. We are over the fucking target
WAGTFKY #ThankyouJeffro
@Mangan150 Magnesium deficiency w/ excess of calcium is a main culprit of clogged arteries. Magnesium helps keep calcium dissolved so it doesn't form hardening crystals in arteries and joints. Take magnesium as wake up, meal, and bedtime stack!
@trequor_@SpolchenDev@HariSel57511397 When it comes to funding it shows the difference from being a *true* nobody. He was able to leverage his reputation to crowdfund $51k, making it practical to put in the time to realize his vision
@theBasedPrince@ChevaucheeN@GigaNRx The idealization of the yeoman is a key part of the Anglo psyche. And a real distinction. Peasants are Aristotle's natural slaves while yeoman have enough agency to direct their own affairs and create value. Alas the Anglo started pretending that natural peasants aren't legion
@cirsova@Carmine_Canine As the only race with a starting food bonus they ramp economy the quickest. IIRC you can feed your starting pop with just 2 Halfling farmers, so you get snowballing on buildings quite a bit faster by being able to have 2 workers instead of 1.
@cirsova@Carmine_Canine Halflings are much better than they look. The lucky ability gives them +10% chance to hit and block, plus units meleeing them get -10% to hit. Add in their extra figures and they scale powerfully with unit buffs like heroism, adamantium, and the Warlord retort
@ChevaucheeN To say a quiet part out loud: it's good to let the rich 'buy' admission through donations for their sons whose merits wouldn't quite get them in, because it helps those who do have merit get easier access to their capital. Hadn't thought of this before your post.
@JesseLucasSaga@cirsova@MahoundParadise@MishaBurnett @prince_of_thule I will stand by 'The Dispossessed' is good. LeGuin was at least, despite herself, honest enough back then to show her preferred hippie society devolves to 'evil mandarins gleefully decide who will starve.' and 'committed LTR w/ children is most fulfilling'
