  • I saw this attitude growing up around evangelicals. “God gave man sovereign control of the earth to benefit us” kind of nonsense.

    These assholes see a beautiful park like Yosemite and are disgusted that it’s full of people relaxing and enjoying the scenery; because all they see is a forest of trees to cut down and a mountain range just waiting to be mined.

    They don’t care about the long term consequences at all because they’re also convinced that Jesus is going to return any day now, and when he does the entire planet is getting incinerated as all physical reality of the universe is summarily disintegrated as god sends all the good people to heaven and the rest of us losers to hell for all eternity.

    I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the argument that NOT clear cutting the world’s forests was actually bad stewardship of the planet that their god ‘gave’ us.








  • My rule as DM is that players can freely expend their normally limited resources if it’s done for role playing or fun and doesn’t affect the story, combat, etc.

    Druid wants to spend all evening as an owl in the rafters of the barn? Cool. Wizard wants to create a pocket dimension in which he can then use Wish to create the universe’s best ganja and smoke it in peace? Awesome.

    Artificer wants to … wait, he wants to do WHAT with his pants? Okay fine, but we’re cutting to black for the evening. And there may be assassins in the morning now.

    Based on my sample size of the one Dominoes restaurant in Nijmegen (Netherlands): it is better outside of the US. Still not great, but better. The chicken shoarma pizza could possibly be considered ‘good’ if it were fresh, but that location only does delivery so…

    I have to disagree here. We all have a moral responsibility to not be evil, murderous dickheads. I’d even go so far as to say that we all have a moral obligation to at least attempt to help our fellow people when we can.

    Just because nobody stopped him from doing evil doesn’t mean that it’s not his fault for doing evil shit. Others may be complicit, but he sure as fuck was guilty the evil he committed.
