I agree these where choices, and he should be held accountable for them. I disagree that they make him a bad person, because a person may not have the understanding of what those choices can result in. I agree that he is not a good person, but I agree because he is refusing to take responsibility for his choices.

Edit: And upon reading the remainder of the article, I agree he is not a good person, because he clearly did understand what those choices could result in. Shooting video while driving, let alone at those kind of speeds, and while drunk? I can’t think of any excuse or explanation that could mitigate that.

I haven’t found a bluetooth set that works well with the deck yet. Everything seems to have a second of lag in the headphones when on bluetooth, that I never experience with wired. I’ve used both an old pair of Samsung earbuds that cane with an android phone over 5 years ago, which worked fine, and my personal go-to pair of Turtle Beach earbuds, with detachable boom mic. I leave the mic in my case unless I’m using it, and everything works well with that setup.

I live in New York, one of the most northern and blue states around, and have my entire life. In 7th grade I decided I didn’t like saying the Pledge of Allegiance, the name alone sounded odd to me, like why are children pledging themselves to a country, when we can’t even really understand what that means? So I stopped.

The school staff lost their minds.

Luckily my parents taught me to be firm in my beliefs, if I had truely thought about them and believed them. So I stuck to my choice, and my parents backed me up on it when they arrived at the school 45 minutes after the Pledge normally ended.

On a side note, I had read ahead in my Social Studies textbook that week, and learned about Nationalism in Nazi Germany, and it had sounded strangly familiar to me. Not long after the Pledge of Allegiance incident happened.

“Thoughts and prayers” seems to have crossed the pond. I genuinely hope they are more useful over there, because they are absolutely worthless here and usually indicate that nothing of consequence will be done about the matter.

I agree, but that’s why I wanted to spread awareness that it existed starting now. The sooner the better.

I find it fun to play my characters with various symptoms of my own neurodivergence. And the occasional NPC in a game I’m DMing will stand out this way as well. I find it adds variety and makes things more real and interesting. A great way I found to include neurodivergence that can have game mechanics tied to it is Limitless Heroics by Wyrmworks, so you could check that out.

Sounds to me like there is a class of people that shouldn’t continue to hold position. Even Jesus said the rich where detestable. “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter heaven.” Once ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ aren’t a viable distinction anymore, the problem you describe is resolved. Not that other problems wouldn’t be present, just saying some change is needed.

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT

But her religion specifically says to go forth and multiply! /s

Hopefully I didn’t misunderstand the poster, cause it seemed like it was someone using the ‘unborn’ as a shill group again. But fight fire with fire, right?

Rights for preborn

Okay, lets go all the way with that. We need to assure future housing, so let’s build homes and apartments instead of another office building or shopping mall. Also the preborn will need healthcare, so we’re going to have to funnel tax money into public Healthcare reform. Those preborn deserve great doctors when they join the world, after all. Now they’re going to need secure access to good food, clean water, and healthy air, so let’s start banning fossil fuels and switch to nuclear and renewable energy sources. Oh and someone make a note, the EPA needs to have the power to shut down business that pollute, no more of this namby-pamby “fines” junk, time for criminal charges and businesses going bye-bye. Gonna need to get rid of the crop-genetics monopolies too, we need healthy and numerous varieties of food from a diverse network of farms. Good first meeting, group! Next meeting bring one page of ideas for undoing the damage to the climate that’s already been done, and be ready for abolishing slavery worldwide once and for all.

Yeah, my mistake. I realized that afterwards, hence the edit. That’s what I get for trying to use a meme response, I need to be clearer in my reactions.

You are complaining about exactly the same people that the workers are striking against.

Yes, because as a worker of any kind, I stand in solidarity with the people who are looking for fair compensation for their time and work.

The workers get to choose what gets produced do they?

Yes. If I work at a chemical plant, then find out the plant has been poisoning the town I live in, my most effective way to stop that happening is to refuse to make more poison and convince as many of my neighbors and colleagues who work with me to do the same. The boss won’t come down from his office and make it himself, will he? As the person making it, I’m morally responsible for it’s existence.

What boot? The boot of the industrial propaganda machine that I’m refusing to be concerned about when it just might have to slow down on producing another cinematic universe for merchandising? Screw the studios, let them deflate a little while the people who do the work strike for better conditions and wages. I’m sure the next Thor movie can wait a couple more years before becoming a lunchbox.

Oh no! Anyway…

Edit: In case the subtlety slipped by some folks, I was pointing out how very unimportant the film industry is as a whole. I stand by the folks striking for better conditions and pay, but without Hollywood the world will continue on. Humanity doesn’t need a new Marvel movie to survive the next year. Food, water, construction, transportation, these things are critical infrastructure. But I do not care if Hollywood stops making cookie cutter movies for a while, let the studios feel the crunch. Who can honestly say they are totally caught up on all the shows they want to watch, anyway? Go watch something you didn’t have time for before, because the newest season of “Someone else’s life” just aired. Go make a new friend, read a new book, or explore a new place. Don’t want to or can’t for some reason? Ok, go watch anything else, there is more media then you consume in a lifetime available for you to peruse on the internet.

Well it’s a space ship so, somewhere between 1 and 0.

“This wasn’t fresh when it was made!”

I’ll see myself out.
