Proud anti-fascist & bird-person
Weird, they just let a psycho killer be a cop? I’m sure they’ll prevent that in the future.
You’re never too rich to enjoy a free turkey dog.
Yamaha makes the best guitar for the money.
The instrument I probably play the most is a nylon string Yamaha with a great dual pickup/mic that I got for $100 at a pawn shop. It has some cosmetic wear, but that’s a bonus in my opinion.
My very favorite system is Apocalypse World; it always plays out as high-drama operatic pulp. It does tend to go PvP in later sessions, so it’s definitely not for every group.
I also enjoy Blades in the Dark, a heist game set in a haunted Victorian London-inspired city. There are a lot of great innovations that mean the players don’t have to meticulously plan out their session (often wasting time on contingencies that are irrelevant), and instead can jump right in and get to the juicy bits.
Mothership is a great sci-fi horror OSR (old school revival) game that is very modular and has a ton of pre-written modules. Normally I prefer a more improvised style, but this is a solid ruleset that works well towards building the tension required for the genre.
If you’re just looking for a one-shot, Fiasco is always a great time: very rules light and more like a writers room exercise than most RPGs, but there’s no better game for hilarious hijinks inspired by films like Fargo or Burn After Reading.
Dogs in the Vineyard is another great one by the same designers as Apocalypse World in which the players are teenage paladin gunslingers in a weird old west populated by demons and heretics. The players come to town with absolute moral authority and may judge whomever they wish, but there’s no guarantee they’re really the good guys even though their characters absolutely see themselves that way.
DnD is a fine game.
But in my opinion, there are so many better roleplay systems.

He knows. All they need is an excuse.
Get some canned chilis in adobo; that sauce adds a nice smoky flavor.
Also if you want to thicken it up, crumble some tortilla chips into it.
Well then I have bad news about dementia and habitual stimulant abuse…
I hope every day of his life is the new worst one.
One billionaire is an excess.
One cannot earn that much money without exploiting workers.
Leave it to reactionaries to confuse healthcare with genocide.
I’ve already told you that autonomous people should get to choose what to do with their bodies. That’s clearly not a value that you hold, and want to give a fetus extra rights above and beyond the person upon whose body they depend.
You wouldn’t need to give a reason to disconnect the person attached to you by the kidney; it’s your body to decide to share or not.
You can try to reframe the issue, but the facts are clear.
You can call abortion access a genocide, but that doesn’t make it true.
You can try to reframe the issue, as many reactionaries do, but you should be aware that the Nazis also restricted abortion for “aryans”:
A pregnancy must not be interrupted! Beware of advice and interventions from unqualified people!
It’s about controlling women for patriarchal purposes, and you’re helping that cause.
So… Not the same case as a fetus at all, right?
If you were hooked up to someone using your kidneys who then died, I bet you wouldn’t want the doctors to have to wait until you had complications from sepsis before disconnecting you.
Because that’s the analogous argument. You keep trying to reframe it, but we know what happens when you put these kinds of restrictions on abortion: women die.
You can pretend otherwise, but the facts are clear.
Are comatose people relying on somebody else’s organs who might die or suffer grievous injury to keep them alive?
The results speak for themselves if you’re not afraid to interrogate what happened.
But surely you’re more knowledgeable about the law than the lawyers employed by the hospital.
The fetus is not autonomous, so how the fuck can it have autonomy?
There’s nothing confusing about it.
The law is set up to intimate doctors into not performing abortions. The doctors believe they will be second-guessed by Ken Paxton and his merry band of fascists.
You want to reframe it and blame the doctors instead of the draconian law that intimidates healthcare professionals.
There should never have been a restriction in the first place; women should be free to make their own healthcare decisions free from the constraints of theocratic virtue-signaling control freaks.
Yeah, they probably were just taking a long lunch instead of treating a patient.
Are you really asking how a law can be intimidating? That’s like… The reason we have laws, man.
It wasn’t a “medical error.”
It was the State of Texas intimidating doctors into not performing life-saving healthcare.
You can try to reframe it all you want, but this it the truth of the situation.
