There’s a certain dark comedy to these militant atheists aping the very actions they condemn in other religions.

Nazi Germany and North Korea certainly agree with your sentiment.

Ah, an eye for an eye, eh? It’s okay to allow state-controlled censorship, surely they won’t abuse it... like, say, controlling information about climate change (US) or even rewriting the view of the world (NK), or perhaps even approving of genocide (Nazi Germany). Surely nothing could possibly go wrong.

Worth noting that most oppressive religious groups in America are not Catholic but some flavor of Protestant.

The sheer number of supposedly enlightened atheists advocating for state censorship is startling.

Yessir, nothing like censorship.

Your response is simultaneously both accurate and reinforces my statement at the same time. The fluff part, where people interact, is essentially platform agnostic, and everything else is about addressing which actions the group wants to take. It’s ultimately up to them which sets of rules best fit their playstyle…

“Evil” is a moral valuation, and corporations by their nature are amoral. What is important to ask isn’t whether the corporation has a moral value but rather those inside it who make decisions. By saying that Amazon is “good” or “evil” is to say the same thing of literally every member of the organization, including…

It’s worth mentioning that you can play any kind of game you want with any set of rules, or even mix-and-match to fit your purposes. Ultimately, the meat of the RPG isn’t what is on paper, but what is at the table, the collaborative story being built. RPG rulesets are just there to help referee the action in various…

Redwall. And, generally speaking, when you talk about RPGs, inspiration is everything. Nothing prevents someone from running a Redwall campaign off the Mouse Guard rules.

No, see, you need some of those threads to keep the others from unraveling, or your sock falls apart.

My apologies for necroposting here, but I think you’re missing out on the real possibilities of higher density storage. The density-per-disc figure is illustrative, see. Instead of a single large 40TB drive, you can get larger capacity drives in smaller form factors and provide RAIDS with just as much data density.…

It has to do with optics. These days, when you speak to people outside the games community about the term “gamer,” it conjures the image of the 10-year-old playing a shooter and spewing an endless stream of slurs into a microphone. This image persists because these people are extremely visible, attach themselves…

Which is exactly what causes a lot of racial divides. When you have an activity or task that requires a greater initial investment, you’ll see the more affluent demographics having greater representation. The issue there is more a side-effect of racism elsewhere, but not reaching out to other demographics in some…

...the joke was commenting both on Jesus being a common name these days and on the Holy Trinity concept separating the man from the spirit.

THANK you! It’s always a pleasure to run across somebody else with similarly educated views on firearms. Turkey shot or equivalent does the job and is less likely to overpenetrate, and a small revolver is both safer and sufficient for self defense. Also worth noting that a revolver is also something good to have in…

Jesus is very persuasive, and it HAS been two thousand years.

I think you’ve got your cause/effect a bit screwed up here. Dowry is an archaic cultural practice that is separate from religion. People who tend to cling to these practices just tend to be extremely culturally conservative, which also tends to mean religiously conservative as well. There’s a lot of overlap, but it’s…

No, culture. Dowry is a practice that was pretty much universal until relatively recently, historically speaking, present in most cultures regardless of religion. It has far more to do with how women are seen in a culture than religion. Before making a statement like this, please take the time to educate yourself on…

Personally, I’d be happy with an entire side story of 17 seeing the world of Dragon Ball with his family. The family that is mentioned in the subtitles, but that we never see. Among other things, maybe we’d find out why there are only four cities in the world!
