Or in this case, the well-documented genocide they were simultaneously supporting in East Timor. Chomsky doubted refugee claims without evidence, which is a horrific crime.
When I mentioned that witness testimonies can be politically-motivated and unreliable (as in Xinjiang), they started Zenzposting about how well-documented the "forced labor prison camps" are 
My liberal friend is droning on about Chomsky being a genocide denier, doing the whole "make a claim, then try and reinforce it with Wikipedia quotes" thing and ignoring actual sources
What I would give to see RICO laws applied to churches...
Yeah Kaiserreich is pretty fun. Weird-ass fandom though.

I was taught that he was a gnome.
Weird social worker thing: "Which agency do you work for?" It's never which company, it's agency. We're all agencies here and sometimes it confuses people when I say "the agency" or "my agency" to refer to the place I work for.
I need a name for a hatchet that chops ghosts.
Housing prices in Portland are about half that, and the high rent is part of the joke.
I'm a daily smoker and it's pretty great unless I get too high, and then I get tired and don't accomplish anything. For me there is a line between "no more ambient anxiety and depression, everything is fantastic and I'm ready to start my day" and "nap time, can't focus brain is sluggish", and sometimes I fumble myself over that line at inconvenient times.
Fought for three different fascist countries.
She ran for congress on a platform of "I got harassed by gamers online."
In my other game, last night alone, we staked out and infiltrated a gangster hideout, cased the place while pretending to be maintenance, went loud when they got too suspicious of us, and had an epic fight on top of a galleon where my character got to do her best Beowulf and rip the arm off her former abuser and tilt the balance of power throughout the city, while also getting shocking clues about a much larger ploy involving magical dreams, fiendish conspiracies, and at least one dragon.
Both games we are level 8.
The difference in levels of interest I have in these two games has been jarring.
Most of the players seem very cool actually. The DM is a good friend, and I'm playing with my partner and 3 of DM's friends. Two of them are people I would love to game with irl - they're creative, fun, roll with the punches and think on their feet really well, write good prose, I love their characters and ability to engage and weave interesting dynamics...
The third friend is kind of annoying and gets snippy about everything and you need to speak with them in the gentlest possible terms. Apparently this game was made because the other players have a concurrent game where they didn't want to invite this person.
But that's not really the problem. It's more that after a week of daily posts and playing, we still haven't done anything. We spent two days doing the typical "you meet in a tavern", then we got into a carriage to move to a second location (and the annoying player made a big stink when someone made a post correctly assuming it was a carriage when the DM wasn't explicit about the kind of land-based transportation), spent four more irl days riding the carriage bantering with each other about like, what this story might be about, and now we're at another "get to know each other" feast. Still no real plot hook or decisions to make.
So I post that I'm going to get out of the carriage to join the feast, but no! The doors of the carriage haven't opened yet so we gotta wait some more, and I get another snippy message from annoying player that I need to stop presuming things without DM saying so.
So I wait, and then at like 2am last night the DM sends a message saying the carriage opens and we can do stuff again. But like, what to do? Join another feast? Continue waiting for something to react to?
It sucks cause this game is set in this world the DM and my bf have been working on for years, and even though it's a little silly I want to support their creative ventures. But also, I'm so fucking bored here.
Probably gonna sit and wait and see if the actual hook is coming soon, or I'ma tell the DM this game isn't for me.
I'm used to Pathfinder and we're playing 5e instead, without any books other than the basic free one. We started at level 8, and after level 1 I made a grand total of 2 decisions during the next 7 levels of character creation (do I take the single available feat, or do I do stat boosts?). Then we got to have the headache that DND doesn't price its magic items and we had to ask DM permission for every little thing or otherwise have no use for our starting treasure. It is a bad system and I don't like it.
Do you disagree?
If anyone here needs a fake reference, we've worked together for years hmu.
Lawful good, but like, in a communist sorta way.
I did it back in college but it kinda sucks. I had weird bruises all the time, sometimes I'd get turned away for not having juicy enough veins, sometimes it hurt to get jabbed. Not a fun experience but it got me by.
It also sucks that they're allowed to call it "donating" when these companies primarily sell and export your plasma for profit. It's selling blood to vampires.
