I was once in a game where the GM allowed his buddy to be a build like that, but in a nifty "hidden origins" way, where the PC slowly realises their own immense power, but is super clumsy with it, so they're an active danger to the party but you also can't just leave them at an inn because they can potentially destroy the world if they have a nightmare...
Then he got turned into the campaign's secret big bad that was only revealed at the very end. THAT worked out well. Turned out he could control his powers and just used us to get rid of his also evil archnemesis of his before attacking the party.
About 15 years ago, yes. There were a few videos of him talking borderline eloquently about political issues, but then again back then he was supporting the Democrats.
I'm more and more suspecting that like Fetterman, he had a stroke too that put him down this path.
Ah so fuck the world because you can't be arsed to vote after you established a system that does precisely this?
Typical murican. Fuck everyone else, I'm tossing TNT into my cesspit, and even if half the neighbourhood is covered in my shit, I'll just blame someone else for not stopping me.
I do miss the wide audience of Reddit tho. The lack of polished interfaces for the Fediverse are a real blocker for most normie users, which is something I'm actually working on (yet another fediverse app, yes)
My 13yo account got permabanned for "ban evasion". I do have - or rather, had - a spare account, but I've never interacted with the same subs, and haven't used that account in a while.
The only thing I can think of as to why this happened is that I called out a tankie sub that pretended to not be tankie, and the mods were obviously upset that their thinly veiled Putin dick-sucking was so publicly revealed. Few hours later, ban. Appealed, appeal denied without explanation.
A criminal investigation is a bit more complex topic than homework. You can't pick and choose the things, you need to conduct a thorough investigation uncovering every potentially relevant fact and building a case based on that. Miss evidence, miss a connection, and your case is thrown out during cross-examination. How do you think it sounds to a judge that oops, you didn't do this and that and that, investigating connected crimes etc., because you "wanted a quick conviction"?
Trump's crimes were incredibly inter-connected, and the court case wasn't to convince voters but to convince a judge.
Voters are convinced by even simple rumours, you don't even need an actual criminal investigation, just lie and spread the rumour that one is happening, and bam, you got a bunch of people now dead-set against whomever these made up investigations are happening of. That's how MAGA operates, that's how the whole Hunter Biden thing went on and frenzied half your country. Wild rumours until a fraction of what they were shouting materialised, and literally all they've got to show for it is his dick pics on the Senate and House floor... But the average MAGA was convinced and that was enough.
Do you think the reverse would be enough? Just dirty Trump until MAGA turns away? Frivolous lawsuits based on partial investigations? That would just further convince MAGA that it's a baseless, political witch-hunt.
The issue was the amount of illegal shit they did, that resulted in the various proceedings. The discovery for all the crimes went on too long, and as you've seen from the lawsuits that were thrown out... it's not wise to start one without rock solid evidence and a fully built case.
On the other hand the moment SCOTUS ruled that any official act of POTUS is fully legal, regardless of technical legality, he should've had Trump shot. Period.
Because that was the fucking platform he ran on. The "you won't have to vote again" platform. I know that the orange turdsack has more shit leave his mouth in an hour than he deposits into his Depends in a day, but ffs, did everyone just forget this slip?
He's bringing what he promised. Anyone claiming they didn't know this was coming are either room temp IQ in Celsius and shouldn't even have the right to vote, or are lying through their teeth. People have been warning about this since 2015, but nobody took it seriously, and well... Here we fucking are.
And this will only ever get worse. Mango Mussolini has entrenched himself as Glorious Leader, and even in his death, there will be people to take over. MAGA won't even matter anymore because they're building out the framework of never giving up power, right in front of your fucking faces, you flag-shagging, "freedom"-loving, burger munching morons who voted for him or didn't even bother to get your fat asses out of your couches. This is on you all. All the ones who went "but I can't vote for Harris", fuck off. You couldn't hold your nose to at least preserve the semblance of democracy, and now the whole world has to suffer your insufferable arrogance. Fuck you all, seriously.
Because see, I'm not a US citizen nor do I live in your third world shithole country. Yet your moronic "cleanliness" political ideology is affecting me, without me having a say. You couldn't be bothered to do against fascism because it wasn't convenient. Well tough titties.
My only hope is that the US collapses as the house of diarrhea-soaked cards it is, and whatever emerges from it will learn from the mistakes made.
I hate this societal reductivism that's going on from the right. When they do something it's "oh it's free speech, don't let them hurt your feelings" when they're literally promoting the ideology of genocide for all but a select few degenerates.
But have the left recommend universal healthcare, or affirmative action to actually help disadvantaged people, and THEY immediately cry that it's genocide and white eradication.
I'm fucking done with this doublespeak they're doing. It's not getting called out enough, it's not being hammered home enough how despicable this kind of word-twisting is, and there's not enough pushback to combat it. Words are losing meaning because the right misappropriates them, and people are fine with it "just to not upset the balance". Fuck no.
Tried working out in loose underwear once. My balls were sagging 10 minutes in, and at one point managed to slam them right into my thigh during a spin.
