  • I player character who is being an asshole can be a lot of fun to weave a great story. I played a huge asshole of a character, who was not afraid of being an asshole. I’ve also played characters who did not trust the group at all and was already to kill/back stab everyone.

    My last character was wearing warpstone armor and was slowly going paranoid. I made it clear to the table that at somepoint, I was going to have to fight everyone. My poor character died in a 1 v 1 fight against a wizard.

    It is a fine line to play these types of characters cause it’s easy to affect everyone’s else enjoyment of the game.

    Now, an asshole player has no spot at the tbale.











  • Elizabeth Warren was a Republican who thought people used bankruptcy as a means of escaping personal liability.

    Warren later recalled that she had begun her research believing that most people filing for bankruptcy were either working the system or had been irresponsible in incurring debts, but that she concluded that such abuse was in fact rare and that the legal framework for bankruptcy was poorly designed, describing the way the research challenged her fundamental beliefs as “worse than disillusionment” and “like being shocked at a deep-down level”.

    It was after that Elizabeth Warren moved to become more progressive about how bankruptcy laws and financial regulations.

    Widely regarded as a progressive, she was previously a registered Republican, changing her registration to Democrat in 1996. According to Warren, in the six presidential elections she voted in before 1996, she cast her ballot for just one GOP nominee—Gerald Ford in 1976. Her conservatism at the time was not rooted in social issues like abortion or gay rights, but rather on economic policy.

  • I would argue that the Epstein files is a threat of democracy. There is a sizeable part of the elite class was alllowed to committ heinous crimes against vulnerable victims. These people will never face justice as long as the Epstein files are confidential.

    You can’t have a three tier justice system in a democractic system. First tier, is “Fuck you, you’re going to jail forever”, second tier is “We’re going to slap you on the wrist, don’t do it again.” Third tier is “Don’t worry, you’ll never be held responsible”.

    A functional democracy needs to have a functional justice system.
