Let’s not strawman and say I’m excusing war crimes. Hamas and religious extremism are the enemies here. Innocents, non-combatants should always be left unmolested.

However, the fact that you call the Islamic agenda of exterminating the Jews “hostile rhetoric” is so naive. It’s basically ignoring what every Islamic state actually does and says. You’re dismissive of one of the most important facets of the entire conflict.

Isn’t spiderman too strong for fall damage? In the canon he falls multiple stories onto his face with no ill effects. If he were to hit a building super hard, he would go through it.

If you have dependants, then they certainly care if your affairs are in order, or not. Dealing with the aftermath of a death is not trivial when it comes to number of hoops to jump through.

As an old D&D player, I’ve been through multiple editions, and I honestly don’t get the hate for 5e. It’s not needlessly complex as 3 was, and not as brain dead as 4. It’s accessible to everyone, with enough complexity for those of us that liked 3. Pathfinder was fine, but trying it again after 5e is like watching extra work just appear on your table.

If you really want a good time, where the system is truly different for the better, then try Star Wars Force and Destiny. Best system around in my opinion.

This isn’t entirely uncommon, but my 20 year old car is in perfect shape, fully paid off, and can do any job. I’m proud of that thing.

How bold of you to assume that most people will inherit money and assets.

DM means Dungeon Master to me, so I go with PM, if I don’t just say message.

Don’t confuse the difficulty of unionization with the lack of need/want. Most states are “at will”, which means they can pretty much fire you for whatever, whenever. Couple that with low wages and poor social programs, and you have a vast amount of workers who can’t afford to go on strike.

However, many of us are living comfortably, with decent wages, insurance, and paid time off. Folks from other places really tend to forget how many people are here, and just how varied the situations can be. It’s not dire for many of us, but if you’re on the bottom, the struggle is nearly insurmountable. Which, unfortunately, is by design. We’re working on it though, just don’t equate tv shows to an accurate depiction of a country of 300 million.

What? We don’t have a plethora of other games here in the US? I’ll have to remind the owners of all those shops that those hundreds of other games they’re selling currently only exist outside of the US. How embarrassing for us…

I mean, if you’ve purchased chocolate in the last century, you’re supporting slavery by your logic. Same for many other commodities, but most people know about diamonds. You could be protesting your entire life, justifiably, about many things. Most people in the world cannot consume without inadvertently causing harm and suffering somewhere in the world. It’s nice that you’re now thinking about it though.
