@JenKatWrites Unknown Armies (2e) and Eclipse Phase are the two I'd at all recommend. I don't care for BRP/RQ/CoC

@TheYear20XX what the fuck

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

The best argument against the electoral college is that none of the contentious issues that we vote for representatives on can have their position premised on geography.

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

@smerjpoo @erikstrobl there is no single conservative belief that is not a path to destruction in the name of raw, unyielding ego. none. everything you believe is monstrous, and should be purged from all reasonable society.

fuck off.

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

I was given the impression by several extremely annoying Democrats that a major reason why we needed to vote for you was to keep Republicans out of power because they were, quote, "going to destroy Democracy."

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Today, I am announcing that as president, I will create a bipartisan council of advisors to give feedback on policy and inform my administration.

Our democracy needs a healthy two-party system.

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

@smerjpoo @erikstrobl You are not a good person.

The Last Jedi reaction was when I decided that the only just world is one which never satisfies a fucking Star Wars fan.

@anukasan1977 @jjo69420 I've run into a lot of wildly stupid people on this godforsaken site but most have at least a touch more self-awareness than you.

@gaynarcan @AZantifascist @mushroomJenja @GBBranstetter Exactly!

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

@AZantifascist @mushroomJenja @gaynarcan @GBBranstetter when you wield that rhetorical tool in absentia of *any other discussion or activity* it is inherently sus!

Its the same rhetorical mechanism as "well that police officer *thought* his life was in danger because xyz"

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

@AZantifascist @mushroomJenja @gaynarcan @GBBranstetter What if it was chess? What if it was curling? What if alien rock people want to compete in tae-kwon-do?What if what if what if what if what if what if what if what if what if what if. imagining situations that "seem plausible" is a rhetorical tool

@machineiv No apathetic suburbanite in the midwest stayed home because of leftists on twitter being passionate.

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

@machineiv Also just...most people who voted voted for Hillary! The argument doesn't stand on its own face. This does nothing to persuade whichever 10,000 people didn't vote in Wisconsin or Ohio or wherever who probably didn't vote because they don't give a fuck at all.

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

If they cannot do that, they are politically useless to me.

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

Once again, if your counter argument to "why didn't Dem leadership do anything" is "something something civics" that is...not a good advertisement for the benefits of having them in power.

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

If the "civics lesson" is what blocks them from doing the right thing, I expect them to attack and dismantle the "civics lesson."

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

It isn't two different points on a quality spectrum, its an entirely different thing altogether.

[Baja Berkituwyn @Rig]

Okay so I've seen some discourse because of the "Jason" post about Actual Plays.

So, the thing about the "Matt Mercer Effect" is *not* that you can't be "as good at D&D" as professional actors.

Its that what they are doing isn't even really anything like playing D&D.

@AlinaIsYou It's just...that he was all alone. Always by himself. Never anyone to share the game. A man who lived in dreams - that's who he was.
