Fister Roboto posted:It's a forum dedicated to a stick figure webcomic where all the jokes are "what if D&D, but real?". I'm sure you can imagine the type of person who posts there. PetraCore posted:The funny part is that lawful evil is exactly designed for situations when the law is corrupt and unfair, imo. I mean D&D morality debates are tiresome beyond belief but this specific question is one the system is already designed to handle, which is that legal and good are different things and institutions and systems can be corrupt??

Elysiume posted:Giant in the Playground forums, a forum attached to the Order of the Stick webcomic that's focused on D&D and other roleplaying games. I once caught a probation for suggesting that EA didn’t deserve to be voted the Worst Company in whatever poll that was because Bank of America existed. Too political I suppose.

Their moderation/forum culture is super weird and bad, there's an intense devotion to avoiding real-world politics so people can parrot god-awful opinions but as soon as they relate it to something in real life, mods start cracking down on things. Lots of stuff ends up extremely passive-aggressive and snipe-y, so I usually don't even look at threads where I'm not trying to get specific info.

Everytime I go to China, well, you may disagree with the means of the Cultural Revolution but you can't argue with its ends. China is an incredibly *new* country. Even in the hinterlands. Ethnic enclaves excluded, obviously. But China is, err, working on that part. Once again, I'm disagreeing with the means and in a multicultural world, I'm disagreeing with the ends. Depending on where you are and who you talk to, China was either created and born with Dengism in the '80s or is 5000 years old. Like Turkey, most locations and most Chinese also embody both positions within themselves.

This is a real thing a real person tweeted. https://twitter.com/KwCongressional/status/1279562816324763648  QAnon is, at this point, the Venn-diagram overlap between "domestic terrorists" and "unmedicated schizophrenia".

I "love" (read: violently hate) the idea that anybody gets therapeutic treatment thrown at them as soon as they question their gender as opposed to going through years of nearly abusive talk therapy and being told transitioning isn't enough, is too much, can't be done too early, can't be done too late, well your session is over go back to your conservative parents and act "normal"

I guess I wasn’t terf brained enough because I connected the mental health thing to hormone therapy for cis women (or maybe anybody? I don’t know a whole lot about mood disorders) with mood disorders.
