Your own inability to believe you're not being "signaled" at is a pretty good start. That you pretty much admit flat out if a woman says NO plain as day in capital letters that she has no sexual interest in you or that you're pushing past what she's comfortable with - a conceited delusion made even stronger by your belief she's making eyes at everyone in the room - and punctuates that by attempting to create physical distance then you will pointedly choose not to believe that's what she means. And the sheer sickening frequency I see douchebags like you make such statements and get your way in the aftermath of your actions when all evidence and reason would demand you be the one put in your place makes it all the more imperative the facts speak. Which should be a given in criminal matters but as I said douchebags tend to get their own way.

Since when do they wait to run out? Nobody has killed more white people than white supremacists. Even in their own fiction where they try *miserably* to make themselves out to be heroes (i.e. the Turner Diaries) they're responsible for more terrorism and wholesale slaughter perpetrated against whites than the mightiest and most delusional portrayal of our supposed enemies.

That is what disgusts me most about people who actually swallow their psychotic claims. Their claim of being "pro-white" and defending their racial interests does not hold up against their historical body count and relentlessly awful treatment of other whites for any excuse that would fly and quite a few that didn't.

According to some people's ideas about gender and how to enforce it's roles "gender affirming care" is school sports teams and home ec. Does this also mean when parents want to force such activities and dress codes on children who aren't trans and never identified as anything but their birth sex to assert their gender i.e. forcing a girl who prefers long pants and the colour brown to wear a pink dress and drop out of shop class or a boy with aims on the fashion industry and a talent for diplomacy into football and telling him to solve every quandary in life with their fists *they* need to be stopped too?

The half white president who absolutely had to not have been born in America, must have been indoctrinated in Islam, communism, and anti-American sentiments from the womb itself as part of a decades long plot to instate him as president so he could destroy it along with Christianity and all the white people...

For uh... Reasons. Reasons that don't have anything to do with the one drop rule that is still clearly part of the American psyche.

That you people only seem to acknowledge him being American when you want to use him as an argument against nonwhites having any kind of complaint about anything ever just because he was "allowed" to exist (aforementioned unhinged conspiracy lunacy spouted daily to his face and on mass media, obstruction and refusal to recognize his legal powers, constant death threats, and thwarted assassination plots being immaterial I guess) just kind feeds right back into the point. The fucked up insinuation that anywhere else in the world it would be natural and logical to think he'd simply have been killed for sport or eaten as a baby or would never have learned how breathing works is it's own rabbit hole of infuriating stupidity.

Far right parenting in a nutshell: You are here to affirm MY choices in life by accepting that there were no other choices. Any indication different is abuse and you'd better believe I'll whoop your ass if that indication comes from you.

Yesterday was not the bottom of the barrel I can be awful enough to suck everything of meaning and value from the existence of people I pass on the street and act like they owe me something for the displeasure."

Not very good at hiding that their criteria for voter eligibility is who they think you'll vote for. Pairs well with how obvious they are about their push for women to give continuous birth is more about giving the type of man to have a vested interest in an inherently unequal system extra votes by virtue of those votes being his to decide for as long as the wife and kids don't have the same consideration for their rights as big daddy.

Also a little interesting they'll claim anyone "fleeing" a state for dislike of their politics is still inclined to vote for the politics they're supposedly trying to get away from.

So apparently the "fundamental purpose" of marriage is to entrap minors specifically, making sure there is no point in their lives they make decisions for themselves by compelling them into situations where they are expected to submit unconditionally they will be shamed endlessly if they attempt to leave especially if they are forced into a childbirth they will additionally be shamed for having at such an "irresponsible" age, consent not really being a factor for anyone but parents.

Which brings me to another point in the bill: A 16 year old can still get married with parents permission (again underscoring just how young these scum want these kids stating almost directly an "old enough to bleed, old enough to breed" philosophy) but the point of contention seems to be the inclusion of a legal witness. Someone whose purpose is to testify that all parties understand and consent without coercion.

Over land the wreckage can hit people's homes directly and even worse: cause a wildfire. Anyone not completely oblivious knows how bad those have been lately. Over water that is mitigated and as a bonus leaves the components more intact upon retrieval giving greater insight into technical capabilities, more recorded data, and what exactly was being targeted for observation. All useful on its own to better detect and thwart future incursion but used right it becomes additional political leverage.

Why would you demand an increased risk to America and to eliminate a potential advantage? Incompetence? Or perhaps you would like to say something about where your loyalty lies Marj? Because it isn't to the American people you would have endangered pointlessly nor the power of America as a nation who would be weakened on the world stage by such unthinking impulse.

Does "kid gloves" mean something different in America than to the rest of the English speaking world? Because deploying thousands of personnel armed for war with explicit orders to create pretenses to escalate to violence and beat people and your commander in chief repeatedly attempting to order the use of deadly force isn't what anyone in their right mind calls kid gloves, especially not when you compare it to people who tried to lynch their entire government getting charged with obstruction of the notably less armed and less numerous police officers they overran and violently beat with flagpoles rather than attempted murder.

So they open by asserting white people have some natural disposition to violence, bemoan the secret evil conspiracy to curtail that violence and establish a strong rule of law, want police to view them as apex predators among thugs and fear for their lives at the sight of them...

But it's of course nonwhites that are the criminal savages despite this.

Also it's amazing they perceive black populations elsewhere in the world as more peaceable than living among self aggrandizing pricks like themselves and attribute that to living under some kind of constant unseen menace as opposed to being removed from the menace they just admitted aspiring to.

No more catch a disease than a dirty neck? That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard and the bar for that's pretty high around these parts. Your own sweat and dead skin will dirty your neck with no outside influence just like breathing the air bears the risk of inhaling germs carried naturally by every living thing, ambient moisture, and spores in dry air. It doesn't take someone deliberately rubbing mud on you, but that can happen too. And fittingly not directly either, you can shake their dirty hand after they scratch their dirty neck and scratch your neck in turn getting the same dirt on yourself by transference.

Just like contempt for basic hygiene can make your rancid petri dish of neck more of a problem than it would be otherwise contempt for health measures and basic courtesy it continues to revolt me people like you have to be strong armed into can make a manageable outbreak into a global crisis. To say nothing of what your deranged conspiracy bullshit has caused in terms of terrorist actions against doctors, violence against government and private business, and an uptick in already abusively controlling individuals devolving into family annihilators.

And seriously? After all the raving that listening to authority in a crisis is assisting them to murder you this whole pandemic? Bitch, please.

I saw the first section of body cam video. They had their guns out shouting threats before getting out of their vehicles, tore the door to his car open and had hands on him *before* telling him to get out, told him to put his hands behind his back while holding his arm up and away from him, told him to get on his stomach while still holding his arm in that position making it physically impossible to comply and pinning him awkwardly on his side so he couldn't do that without struggling against their grips even if his arm popped right off, finally let go of his arms and look to get the cuffs on him but still holding him on his side demanding he get down on the ground where he already was... Then when he was face down I could hear a distinct crackling at which point he bolted up and started running. And the officer who clearly tased him wondered out loud how the prongs missed? Like he didn't even seem to realize he had already discharged the weapon and was electrocuting him before he bolted.

And that was about as much as I could make out. Every third thing the cops said was a threat of physical harm. I imagine this only gets worse.

Oh, and for the record? Many earlier examples of rap did have emphasis on what a dangerous and miserable life it is and the attraction isn't that it's "easy" but that trying to live honestly simply gets people exploited and stepped on while as far as anyone can see those who enjoy any kind of luxury or protection - even temporarily - are those who simply take shamelessly from others in one form or another. How hard it is to survive and keep your head above water. How easy it is to lose it all and wind up dead. How friends can be fleeting and family can regard you with fear and suspicion. How vicious survival is but also how little meaning there is in being a hardened criminal and what thin defense it can ultimately be against a cold world. How few people care to know who you were or mourn you in death and how society will have no empathy for those who do.

Ends, What It's Like, and don't tell me you haven't heard Gangstas Paradise.

Problem is the power fantasy sells better. It's why Blues and Jazz fell by the wayside. And guess whose disposable income that is determining what genres live and die in the music industry?

You know, it occurs to me I've never heard a substantial call to quell the cultural fascination with the mob in the wake of the success of Goodfellas or The Godfather. Or to curb the enthusiasm for vigilantism and police violence glorified in works like Death Wish, 24, and perhaps most disturbingly how the role of Rambo was received and what it mutated into after First Blood. Especially when you consider that the behaviour of Will Teasle and his deputies which sparked the killing spree is something hard conservatives want to see in regards to the homeless but Rambo as a copkiller was so popular he was reworked from a tragic wreck of a man that mentally snapped after being treated like yesterday's garbage "polite society"/"real America" doesn't want to look at to the definition of action hero Americana. And I've heard more hysterics about the Wild West fading in popularity as a subject in fiction than questions about what exactly in settings defined by a lack of laws and powerlessness of enforcement beyond the barrel of a gun and whose plots are more reliably boiled down to revenge killings than martial arts flicks is supposed to be so enviable?

Speak out against that kind of thing you get accused of trying attack the concept of masculinity or some rot.

So yeah, I don't see a lot in the way of intellectual honesty about "problematic culture inspiring bad behaviour" but I do see quite a few attempts to be racist that are very undeservedly pleased with how smart they think they sound.

If you choose to think that rap - and specifically the gangster image tailored to suck money out of kids from the suburbs with more disposable income than taste and really dumb ideas about what makes a man tough as opposed to speaking to anyone actually living that life - is the primary communication method of the black community it really only goes to show how much you choose to ignore. And further, how determined you are to put words in people's mouths that don't reflect anything they've said or done because you need to feel justified in doing exactly that already. You choose only to listen when people embrace the parody of themselves you aggressively made for them. That's a grievance made in plain English. I don't have any trouble understanding it, do I have to translate it into cretin?

Your excuse to demand blood as recompense for being inconvenienced by the consequences of refusing to be inconvenienced. Then when you got a solution in the clutch you refuse to trust it because you need somebody to be at fault other than yourselves and simply shift the continuing consequences for your actions onto anything but your actions while demanding recompense for it.

So "proud" of your history you keep trying to write a version of it you like better than what was actually lived.

Oh, and Christianity was forcibly injected into as much of the American identity as possible during the Red Scare despite being in blatant contradiction to your Constitution using the excuse that it would distinguish you from communists. An act so disingenuous and done in such bad faith that today the very words communist or socialist is entirely meaningless and could be replaced by shouting BOO! in the middle of a sentence while the thin label of Christianity is now just the wedge word to stick in between people when there's no argument to be made for a course of action so you just say your Christian beliefs are under attack.

Under attack by people existing, no less.

People you simply refuse to recognize as being American despite pledging allegiance to the same flag and professed ideals even those fighting and dying for them. But in the same breath you deny them you'll demand deference for the idea your forebears did the same... even if the truth turns out quite different. People you refuse to accept as Christian despite living by the same scripture and praying to the same God simply because they choose their interpretation that includes everyone in God's supposed grace over your desire to be elevated, inherently more the equal of divinity by birth in ways mere faith and good conscience cannot meet. And those whose opinions - or more pointedly their rights under the law and even their very lives you are under the conceit they should be grateful to you for by some demented logic - you don't think matter despite both Christian and American ideals professing that everyone regardless of their station in life is supposed to be weighed evenly on the scales. Something that by itself strips all credibility from your feigned moral outrage.

Edwin Benson/Dennis Prager #wingnut #fundie #conspiracy

Treating your kids like property whose opinions - Hell, their very individual identities - are flaws to be removed by whatever means necessary because parental rights are the only rights in your household does tend to alienate a bit if the kids make it to adulthood with the ability to form their own opinions without reflexively flinching as though they expected reprisal.

And also from a group that more often than not believes aggressive shunning is their god given right to which everyone they don't like must acquiesce on pain of "getting what they deserve" in "self defense" whining about being shunned yourself - and in doing so falling back on the above problem where you think your kids in particular have no right to refuse you - is downright comical.

Those "it's okay to be white" fliers invariably equate being white with being in the middle of a turf war, that violence and general skullduggery are not wrong and that we should be engaging in both because if anyone breathes the same air as us it is a theft. That we should not ever rest until every business, every home, every ounce of material wealth is torn from the hands of the "thieves" and redistributed as our birthright and the people worked those jobs, purchased those homes, and grew our economy should be pushed out into the ocean and shot on sight as invaders should they enter our view again. That they should not have rights or the protection of the law. And that any discourse other than to affirm this is a grave act of aggression to be avenged a hundred fold.

They are not benign and you are here reiterating exactly the same provocation. That you do not see this as a problem says almost as much about you as your ability to see a threat in every baby born, a theft in every wage earned, and a personal attack on you when unvarnished history is told without being spun to make you feel special.

It says some alarming things about your own designs on the white population that the one thing you think anyone is doing right is murder in the streets.

But then again, nobody has killed more white men than white supremacists. So it's alarming but not surprising that you think this.

Basically the refusal to accept the medical definition of death as far as the human body is concerned means that a braindead lump of flesh that would immediately begin decomposing without mechanical support forcibly oxygenating the cells is a "live" birth. And thus any facility that does not have the capability to keep removed tissue alive perpetually can be technically accused of terminating a "live" birth.

Fucking ironic, considering how Republicans feel about stem cell research. But then again it isn't about reality it's about being able to say things that sound scary and evil to provoke a hysterical response with only the most stretched thin of legal technicalities keeping it from being prosecutable slander.

Republicans are pushing for a bill that effectively criminalizes death by natural causes and the removal of necrotic tissue. Reminds me of a case a while back where a woman with an explicit DNR request was revived against her wishes due to being pregnant at the time she flatlined and was hooked to machines that kept her braindead body functional to bring a very dead and quite literally rotting "baby" to term that couldn't even be sustained by machinery but was still considered 'alive' by this standard. Marlise Muñoz I think the name was.

Well since in 5e a sorcerer's magic comes specifically from biological inheritance (and the origins for selection tend to be creatures naturally far hardier than what most players can top out at) constitution does make a bit of sense and would offset having their low hit die. Though that would be giving them one more advantage over wizards who actually put in the work for their magic and seem to be getting less in return in 5e. They're the ones who should be getting the sorcery point mechanics, to me that's indicative of a deeper understanding of a spell rather than winging on instinct. And bards can just pick any spell from any list at certain levels I mean come on is study and hard work worth nothing even in fantasy?

And hey, as long as we're tossing around ideas about making D&D classes better what do you think about instead of having a limited number of favoured terrains rangers should instead have a period of acclimation to environment types that shortens as they grow? Pick one terrain at creation that is your favoured terrain (preferably something that makes sense to your backstory) and needs very limited adjustment when stepping into similar environs for the first time but when entering a new terrain require some months before gaining the same benefits and losing them a short time out of that environment necessitating reacclimation. Then instead of gaining a second terrain the acclimation period shortens considerably and the grace period before losing the acclimation bonus extends.

All things considered I kind of wonder why WIS is the cleric's main stat. CHA would be more appropriate as the main function of clerics are to be the public face of their deities, sway followers, possibly change the views of others and convert them. Clerics are given power based explicitly on how much they can convince the recipient of their prayers that they can influence mortals. Until 5e turning undead and channeling energy relied directly on CHA as well.

In a more mechanical sense WIS also governs perception and clerics are typically meant to be less in tune with their physical surroundings and mortal concerns or even take pains to distance themselves from such i.e. seclusive cloisters. WIS is also supposed to be associated with self examination and common sense which would be even less fitting to a cleric whose domain might be chaos, madness, or trickery. In regards to roleplay I think it gives an interesting caveat and hard limit to the power of a CHA based Cleric acting as the party Face if the tenets of their faith - and favour of their deity in regards to representing that faith with fitting leeway for ideologies that allow for deception - limit their persuasion attempts as even gods of similar moral alignment and sphere of influence have rivalries reflected by their followers and religion is a massive influence on the D&D world.

Conversely I think the CHA based Paladin should rely on WIS instead as while they are meant to be inspiring leaders to common soldiers and whose personal conviction is the source of their powers their main function is martial rather than affecting society and it's up to their personal sensibilities and unyielding conviction to serve their deity and/or oath to the fullest in extreme situations even in the face of psychological or outright psychic attack (resisted by WIS) with less direct divine counsel if gods are even involved in their oath. They'd be considering the implications of their actions quite often if they're not playing lawful stupid right to the hilt.

Name a human right that Dylan Mulvaney did not already have before his “transition,” or loses by transition, and I will award you a million dollar prize.

The right to redress when publicly slandered, for starters. Being treated as a living instance of identity fraud. Being presumed guilty of everything from sexual predation to nonsensical intrigues that do not have to be defined and this presumption of guilt with no existence of a crime is used as an excuse to bar individuals from places or activities they would otherwise not be questioned over and indeed if someone else were suddenly obstructed in the same way it would constitute criminal harassment.

Your own multiple paragraphs of wild accusations that aren't even tangentially related to her life or career is a pretty good example. Cheating at sports?

If existence in your line of sight is provocation to murder then fucknuts you and everyone you represent are far more danger to our kids, your own, hell every man and woman alive.

Your entire stance here - one you are already perfectly happy to lie for - is that violence shouldn't be wrong and the part you're hoping nobody catches is the unspoken suggestion of using the same violence you'll gleefully enact on adults should you believe yourself immune to reprisal on your own children with even fewer reservations so that one way or the other they don't become adults you want to kill on sight. Because not only do you not fear physical revenge from small children as far as you are concerned you as a parent are the only one with rights and using violence and terror to enact your personal will is your inalienable right to exercise on your property and those you decide should not have rights.

This reminds me of a conservative Christian group that kicked up a stink a while back in the Praries claiming their children were being taken away for being Christian. They couldn't prove that, of course. They didn't try to demand independent reviews or otherwise get any kind of evidence abuse claims were spurious. They tried to muddy the waters about the definition of abuse and downplay neglect or the emotional end of things but that didn't help them for one very specific reason: The claims were all substantiated by physical evidence at hospitals. The hospitals were the ones filing the reports as they were required to by law if there was strong evidence of physical or sexual abuse. So what did this group of concerned Christian parents who just wanted to protect their kids do? Aggressively lobbied to end mandatory reporting and even punish hospital staff for going behind parents backs.

Some try to dress up similar pushes elsewhere as an issue for the financially disadvantaged, but between the sweeping the greater number of violently abused children compared to the neglected under the rug to make this claim and even those neglected frequently revealed being a matter of deliberate choice over financial hardship i.e. malnourished unattended children who spend a suspicious amount of time "grounded" with limited and controlled social contact but in a home with curiously full cupboards... That happen to be locked. And the parents with the only key happen to be out frequently and rarely because of overtime work hours. Between these and other little details? Not being quite honest.

Well, honesty is for children I guess. Unless of course the truth they tell you is inconvenient. Then it's out with the belt, bed without supper, and weeks without human contact. But that's not abuse, not like reading bedtime stories or vaccination against disease oh no. It's discipline. Or fighting the devil.

Don't lie and say it's about protecting the kids, it's never about protecting kids it's about keeping your own abuses as their normal. You're enraged to the point of murder because the mere existence of people who don't live in fear of you and the norms you'll beat or even rape into anyone who isn't in a position to fight you off is enough to make a crack in the foundation of fear you disgustingly mislabel as parenting. A child might see you were far more threatening to them than your fake bogeymen. And you can't have that.

Methinks you have a few parts backwards. It's humans insisting God has other ideas - an excuse trying to use God's authority as a cudgel to their own personal purposes which is a grave act of blasphemy by my reading of the text - in order to supplant another person's identity and force them into the role of mere breeding stock that's the real crime. Hell, when you consider that being coerced into unwanted sexual activity is the very definition of rape that's one more reason trying to force heterosexuality on those who know quite well who they are even when you - not God, YOU a flawed arrogant human - insist they should be something else because your social engineering demands it ought to be criminal in more prosecutable sense. The same goes for gender identity, in case it needs to be said, because ultimately you're going to make it all about sex and project your own confused notions of human relationships onto others.
