So the two options are being “without sin” and “being a giant piece of shit”? There is no in between?
I started playing Drakar & Demoner (now known as “Dragonbane”) in the 80’s, but after a long abscence from the world of TTRPGs I started playing D&D 5E in 2020. Now I’m exploring Pathfinder 2E, as well as designing my own GURPS-inspired game. My home in the Fediverse is https://ttrpg-hangout.social.

it’s time to admit that deep down the human experience is being a giant piece of shit
Well, I’m tempted to say “speak for yourself there, buddy”. I’d agree if you said that a lot of people are like that, but you seem to imply that goes for basically everyone?
he never had sex with a couch to completion
Uhmmm… what? Why would he say that? Was there actually some truth to the claim that he had sex with a couch, or what?
I’m out of the loop on that one. Can you explain it to those of us who missed it, please?
No, he doesn’t. He thinks he can do anything. The people around him, who do understand that he can’t, has given him other reasons not to participate that he can accept. Something like “it’s not fair,” “it’s a setup,” “people will think you’re brave for saying no,” etc.
Oh and their CEO is a rich frat boy and also probably the one with the crayons.
I’m not so sure, I’m pretty sure that guy ate all his crayons before he could do any kind of drawing.
Who the fuck do these Vatican people think they are, to lecture others on morality? The previous pope instructed all of Catholosism that they were not to report pedophile priests to the police on pain of excommunication. And this is apparently fine by the current pope.
They are a bunch of idiots with no coherent concept of morality. All morality is based on personal responsibility, but most Christians seem to think they can ask their imaginary friend - rather than the one they have wronged - for forgiveness, and be granted it! It is absolutely absurd. I’m not saying that Christians in general are bad people, I’m just saying we shouldn’t be looking towards Christianity or any of its leaders for moral guidance.
Incidentally - do you know which World War 2 nazis were excommunicated for their crimes by the Catholic church? You’d probably be surprised to know that it was only one. One! And who was it? It was Joseph Goebbels. Among all the heinous crimes commited by the nazis, what was it that Goebbels specifically did that caused the Catholic church to say “enough is enough”? I’ll tell you what he did: He married a divorced protestant. “That’s it,” the Catholic church said, “you no longer get to go to heaven with your fellow nazi war criminals. Killing 13 million people in the Holocaust alone we can live with, but marrying a divorced protestant? No, we can’t have that, that would be, like, totally immoral dude.”
But surely, I hear you say, the Catholic church was against the nazis? No. No, they were not. Hitler’s birthday was celebrated in German Catholic churces all throughout the war. Only in 1960’s did the Catholic church apologize for its silence during the Holocaust, and revert the hitherto established doctrine that all currently living Jews - including children - are personally responsible for killing Jesus. That’s why they didn’t oppose the Holocaust - because the Jews (never mind that they weren’t the only victims) had it coming, since they were all (some-fucking-how) personally responsible for “killing Jesus”.
So, yeah. I’m not going to let these morons lecture me or anyone else on morality.
Well, I haven’t pooped since last year, I bet that stuff is pretty damn hard by now if you really must know. 😅
Welcome! So far, in my experience, this is a much friendlier community that… many of the alternatives.
So, basically, Putin is telling Russian women to “get fucked for Putin”?
I think I’ve only heard it in Police Academy, when Hooks accidentally runs over the feet of one of the bad guys.
We don’t have that problem in Sweden either. Not only do we have roundabouts, but we also have roads with turns in them.
Yeah, anything Justin Alexander posts is usually good. He’s one of the wisest people on the scene, if you ask me.
I’m totally with you on this one - downvote is not meant as a “I disagree” button, but it is used that way which created the famous Reddit “hive mind” problem. So this has been a pretty peeve of mine for years. It is already creating the same problem here.
But unfortunately, we’re tilting at windmills on this case, so I think we will just have to accept that this is the way it’s going to be.
Of course! Why, then, implying that I’m claiming to be “without sin” for saying I’m not “a giant piece of shit,” if there’s lots of degrees in between?
