Lol, don’t feed the troll, matey.

Yes, and that’s why there are so many in-person arguments about alignments. Too many groups that I’ve been in have socially enforced thinking about character actions, especially involving the stereotypical party-conflict-initiator, also known as the paladin. At least for the most part the hobby enjoyers have gotten away from the “you’re lawful, so you have to follow the laws even when you’re in an eeeeevil society!” thinking. It had gotten so bad that the game developers actually addressed it in one of the 3.5 splatbooks. Tome of exalted deeds, I think.

It also doesn’t help that the game designers go back and forth about it as well. Reading any of gygax’s diatribes about alignment just leads to conflicting statements and mental damage.

Because the idea of lawful/chaotic NOW draws from the dnd heritage, which has watered down the concepts to ‘follows laws’ and ‘breaks laws’ and sadly, most of these pictured assholes ‘follow’ the laws because their kind got to write the laws. Trump is basically the only exception, and is also basically the only one who is questionably a billionaire.

Huh. I actually haven’t seen any mention of that since the community for reporting it / sympathizing/fantasizing about it shut down. Are people still getting them?

I start considering price, value, but also have to consider if it’s a garbage product or not, oh hey, do we need dried noodles

Yeah, none of that is bad, but when my partner decides that it takes five minutes a product for each decision, I get annoyed. If you can’t figure it out in five seconds, the differences are obviously not a big enough deal.

Lol, I don’t even have a map in my head. I walk the same route every time, because I get the same items every time. If I want variety or spice in my food life, I can go to a restaurant once a month. The rest of the time food can be as bare, repetitive, and thus simple as possible.

The biggest problem with d&d axes is that people try to pick an alignment and then have their character’s actions come from it (and the resulting frequently induced cross-table talk with the eye-rolling phrase “a lawful/neutral/chaotic good/neutral/evil character wouldn’t do that! You’re X/Y, so you wouldn’t do that!”).

No real person has every action fall within one of the outlying boxes’ bounds. Actually ‘moving’ yourself from the neutral spot is (supposed to be) beyond most mortals.

A throwback to a series of books that (almost) no one talking about the D&D alignment axes (the axes came from the ideas of the books) knows of anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric_of_Melniboné There are actual gods/forces of law and chaos.

It’s why he’s not a billionaire. Zing!

And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

I’d like to point out, ‘proper’ jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is ‘up to a year,’ but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.

Wait… isn’t ~1,000 per 100,000 much closer to 1% than 2%?

It’s still mind boggling, not trying to minimize it.

And we’re all jealous of woody the woodpecker on this glorious summer day.

Damnit! My secret-keeping low volume speakers have foiled me again!

Damn, how do they get the price of the ink so low? I would kill for large size prints of my guts innards for $5.

My mind somehow meshes the ideas from butcher’s dresden books, where your belief in an icon as a symbol of the faith matters more than its actual connection to the religion, and lackey’s high magic (compared to the wild magic) where the collective energy of the populace can be collected and stored to be used. So I end up with this idea where the catholic church has collected a vast amount of energy to be used, and the utterance of latin is the individual’s (in this case constantine’s) personal symbolic link to the catholic church to harness that energy.

That always made me do a double take in hades. Everytime he was called ‘prince zed’ by sisyphus I had to take a second to think about what was being said.

You’re gay and canadian? Notice me, senpai!

You did drop the t to a glottal stop in your last glass of water, though, just saying! :P

Wait until you learn why it’s called epinephrine. Then you’ll really roll your eyes.

Don’t you dare say waddling is from across the pond. Here in america, more than 60% of our population waddles about!

Why the fuck would I take the cup out of my room, mom/dad/insert-authoritarian-asshole-here? I’m drinking from it, goddamnit.
