I think the important thing to consider here is that he didn’t blow a whistle; he didn’t contact his boss or HR with his concerns. He didn’t contact an outside regulatory agency. What he did was waste company time and resources sending around an opinion piece that got out and blew up in his face. Which, as Virginia…

What?

Normally, I’d agree but my company has a super casual environment so I can ignore this. I actually got harrassed with jokes for the first year I worked here for wearing button downs and slacks every day. I do keep a pair of slacks and a button down and pair of nice shoes for the sporadic client interaction, but rarely…

My family does email address, first name, and ICE info (In case of emergency, not immigration.) I keep an ICE card with my medications and allergies in my wallet and my contact/diseases on the lock screen with a note to check wallet.

This is why I refuse to play public games and only play casually at home with friends I like.

Nah, he just had decent blockers.

Does kind of give new meaning to “cut the deck”.

Does it have Dragons? Because you need dragons...

Hey! I owned three of those. I wanted the purple variant bad, but not enough to buy a Hannah Montanah game.

Even if he’s attracted to men, I think I speak for gay society when I say the hetero’s are welcome to keep him. He can be “culturally straight”.

Get those kids in a treadmill at noon and put them to bed at 4 just to have time to prep for the show. Wear them out! It’s good parenting. I know, my parents did that to me when they wanted to watch Hill Street Blues back in the day, and I’m only mostly screwed up.

You don’t have to know a black person personally to know blackface is wrong. My redneck ass dad knew blackface was wrong thanks to All in the Family 40 years ago.

When I first read this I misread “Portland” as “Poland” and thought maybe she’s never met a black person before but nah, this lady is just screwing with us.

Where can I deliver your Pulitzer? Because this shit is trophy worthy reporting here.

I’m not going to argue most of your points but the ferengi chaotic neutral? Come on they’re true neutral! Whatever’s best for me is best is pretty much the ferengi model. They use laws when they’re useful and ignore them when they’re not. And you can use this against them reliably, because they aren’t chaotic - they…

Rule #1 in all RPGs: the storyteller is always right. When you have multiple players each exercising their imaginations rules can be very helpful to help everyone feel important and engaged.

It can in limited circumstances be played well with others, but it’s difficult to be sure. As listed, Chaotic neutral is similar to libertarianism; it’s roughly “my freedom over anything else.”

Really? I’d of had the slaver quit in a huff, make a show of leaving and disappear to gripe or maybe attack the person who fired him. Half the fun in DMing is dealing with those boomerangs.

Respectfully, I’ve been playing D&D since the 1980s and there is definitely a Chaotic Neutral alignment. It’s been around since AD&D.

An article on swearing in D&D would be cool. When I was playing 3rd Ed I played a Gnome follower of Ehlonna who would constantly swear “By Ehlonna’s mossy teats!” As a druid follower of a flora diety it was a fun swap up.
