To newer DMs: Never admit to your players whether or not you fudge rolls. As the DM, The only thing you need to do to maintain the integrity of your game is to shut your damn mouth when you bend the rules. The players just need the illusion maintained.

Meatball 😁

I go pretty far to my way to make sure my branded t-shirts are from small to mid-sized online content creators that I enjoy. It works out because they usually put a lot of effort into making sure their stuff is unique

As an Albertan who frequently goes to protests against the UCP’s constant Americanization of our province, this feels mad disrespectful.

In Canada, all square screws are called Robinson. If you go into a hardware store and ask for square head screws, the worker will correct you and say “the Robinsons are this way”.

It’s just regional.

Translated into Albertan:

Slotted = Flathead. Square = Robertson. 6 lobe = Torx

Now I can’t get the image of a pickle jar filled with lube out of my head

I’m a music collector and saw this coming. “Music” went from a product you buy, into a service you pay to gain access to. You don’t pay for music, you pay daddy Spotify for access to HIS music.

Vinyl has turned back into the only form of physical music collection.

The amount of credit people give Steve Jobs is such a kick to the nuts to all the engineers that designed those products

I grew up in rural Canada. A guy I knew was drunk in the woods with friends and tried to ride a young deer that came up to them(the deer got used to people in that area feeding them, something that is not recommended) annnnnnd it beat the shit out of him and his 6 friends. He got a bad concussion and lost sight in one of his eyes.

Don’t fuck with animals. They are built different.

Intelligence checks are a measure of your knowledge retention about a topic. Worship in the face of a lack of understanding is literally part of Christianity.

Remember the definition I provided:

Prejudice + Power

Power as in “Systemic power”. The Irish, Bosnians, German Jews in ww2; these people all had systems of oppression using their power to oppress them in their countries. It’s not as simple as “LawlSkinColour”.

In a majority of situations, the word racism does not apply if you are the dominant socioeconomic ethnic group in the world, which white people are. You have to take context into account though, because life does not exist as a binary. In North America, Jewish and Irish folks can experience Racism. In spite of being largely white presenting, they are ethnicities that have been historically discriminated against.

White people as a blanket “race” though, cannot. Saying “Bill pisses me off because he’s Jewish.” is racist. Saying “Bill pisses me off because he’s white.” is an entirely different conversation. Jewish folks are one of the most historically discriminated against groups in the world. White folks have been the most dominant socioeconomic racial group in the world perpetuating oppression. To treat those two groups as if they are the same can only be done if you ignore all historical contexts. That is a wildly intellectually dishonest way to define the world.

Black, brown, Asian, and indigenous folks can, have, and continue to experience racism. The socioeconomic racial group that we call “white people” cannot experience Racism. The individual ethnic groups within said racial group can experience Racism.

There is a conversation to be had about who decided the definition of racism though.

The wikipedia article you listed uses the definition of racism put forth by the UN. The UN is an organization dominated by white European countries and their colonies.

This definition comes into conflict with the definition used by many marginalized communities of colour though, which defines Racism as Prejudice + Power. The implication of this is that you can be prejudice to white people, but not racist. Prejudice is still not good, but white people have historically placed themselves in a position of socioeconomic domination over BIPOC communities, and thus making them unable to experience “Racism” in every context.

To be clear, I mentioned Context because you did, when you mentioned white people in China. This example betrays that the concept of racism is based on societal context

I ditched racial accents in place of regional accents.

Ahhh shoot. Looks like the kid got pipelined.
