  • I’m you are talking about politics wrong… Somehow.

    That CAN be what politics discussions are about but that’s very echo chamber, negative circle jerk types stuff.

    One thing that helps to have more interesting conversations is think on different scales. How are neighborhood politics different from national politics? Not all national issues show up in every community.

    How I see things, politicians, of all kinds, are supposed to exist to solve the common problems that enough people face but cannot solve by themselves or their group.

    Local politicians can better serve local issues, so start talking about smaller politics when you are crashed into those types of conversations.

    Small thing everywhere are more important to most people than large things nowhere. And you can at least get other people to stop talking about the danger dumb shit you address probably suck of hearing about.

    It does take a bit of effort to get started but once you do it a few times it’s pretty effective (in my experience)

    Also if you can tie food into the issue you bring up most people have opinions on food



  • Only know him from the Jubilee videos where that have guests on and sit in a circle of 20 people with a different view point than the one in the middle.

    He came off as the shamelessly smarmy, creepy, dishonest, and that first impression never got any better any of the few times his videos came up in my feed.

    Whomever shot him has made the world a better place. Fuck Charlie Kirk and everyone like him


  • You can’t base your opinions of people by the performances you see. Or you will constantly be surprised like you are right now. Entertainment is all lies. Everyone is fake and just trying to get a paycheck when they start out on screen.

    Also people do change and do learn from the things they did in the past, not everyone, and much less when you after a fundie trad biggot, but effect and if even some of them do actually become reasonable people.

    But you will never know the person Jimmy Kimmel is unless you are someone who gets to regularly see him when the cameras aren’t on.

    That’s a lesson entirely too many people need to learn. You don’t know shit about even some of the people closest to you, why would you think you know a good damned thing about some person that’s always in front of a camera?

    Go ask a grand parent, an auntie or uncle, a parent, your best friend, your favourite teacher, what was the worst thing they ever did to someone else?

    You probably don’t know what they would say, and they probably won’t tell you

    Edit: sorry for the rant, it’s not specifically just for you but I kinda went off. This isn’t meant as a personal attack, more of a rhetorical rant prompted by your comment. My apologies if I’ve offended you






  • I’ve just recently listened to book 1 of Dungeon Crawler Carl on audible. I’m really not sold on his partner(I won’t say more than that). Just a style thing, it’s not for me. However I’m enjoying it enough to continue reading more of them. Do you know if there are different audio book versions?

    I read He Who Fights With Monsters and have really enjoyed the voice work in that series.











  • If any of the chars enjoy, encourage, or otherwise desire pain and suffering, they are evil.

    wants to badly mistreat her

    This is an evil act. If there is a reason for it outside of personal enjoyment it could be neutral or lawful depending on reasons.

    What other acts do these characters condone? A characters alignment isn’t something a single act will always be a decided by but intent is pretty clear for Natasha if not the others.

    That the others allow this they are neutral to some degree. If the characters are inconsistent in their actions chaotic might be part of their alignment.

    That the others invited Catherine to this life as well and are pretty okay with Natasha’s plans so I would think they also are evil.

    None of the characters can be good of any kind and allow this, let alone be party to it
