The Small Rants Thread X: Turn Down for Bitchin'

[Unbeliever]

Point of interest; in D&D, by default, goblins and orcs, for two examples, are stupider and more depraved. If not policed, their generally evil and destructive mien would fray a society.

This kind of highlights why I hate the social engineering type of comments in the context of D&D-esque game worlds.  There's a bunch of things that make no sense from a "real" point of view.  And, that's fine.  It supports the game and the story.  But, that means we should leave the other stuff about "well, this would happen ..." out of it.

First, context Unbeliever; I had no reason to make that comment, and the other two that were part of that post, until the comments above it were posted. I. was. making. a. point.

I can call another poster a fucking moron. But I can rant politically only if it's an 'acceptable' position. TYVM. I love society.

Or, you could calm the hell down.  I was using your comment as a jumping off point to a broader, more general statement.  This is a common thing to do in conversation and especially on threads, and especially when there have been a number of posts in between..  From Tippyverse to Frank & K to all sorts of various other, less famous ideas, the phenomenon I was referring to is a common one on D&D gaming boards.

I, at least, haven't said anything directed to you.  You'll notice every single word in my brief comments were stated in very general terms.  There was no "Chemus" in them, besides the quote that inspired them.  Indeed, you even started with "point of interest" indicating that you weren't necessarily committed to the statements you were talking about.  I included that in the quote. 

But, y'know, feel free to be pissed at me for whatever reason you've got in your head.  An alternative, if the mood takes you, is that you could read what I actually typed and then respond to that, rather than what you I guess think I did.  Not every post on a gaming forum is an SJW battleground.

On behalf of everyone here, I am doing thi against a wall so you don't have to.   

My neighbors complained the last time I did that, so instead, I'm going to murder some drug traffickers in the neighborhood.

A productive use of your anger!

(I'm just imagining some shadowy guy selling dime bags of cocaine to a little old lady. Then, you hear a shout from off-screen, and Kuroimaken, HERO OF JUSTICE, drop-kicks them out of nowhere.

He then leaps away, faster than a speeding truck.)

Oooo, that scene is DEFINITELY going into my autobiographic movie.

Me too. I should have been clearer. And put an [ hr] tag in between my clarification and my own rant inspired by your comment, as it wasn't directed at you either.

Ah, fair enough.  I stand corrected.

The first thing conservatives do when liberals push for more gun control after a mass shooting is say that theyre exploiting a tradgedy for political gain.

Of course, when conservatives push for allowing soldiers to cerry guns where they were previously not allowed to, that's different.

I feel like this a lot.

I get the feeling you've been hanging around Deviantart a lot, Amechra.

I was using it as a metaphor for homebrew... but in general, it is my entire life.

No one listens to poor Amechra.

[Chemus]

I'm sorry, did you say something Amechra?

[Amechra]

I'm sorry, did you say something Amechra?

I unsaid something.

What was unsaid now was never said. There was no pity party.

[Jackinthegreen]

Something something something...


Boobs?

Hugs!

More seriously, I have to boil my water before drinking it for the next week. I'm waiting for a mug of water to cool down in the fridge.

Maybe the freezer?

[Kuroimaken]

I need to make it stop raining.

Seriously, it's been two weeks.

Ex gf wants us to be back together, but not be serious. Only casual.

Thinking it's not a good thing for my pride to accept.

One one hand, i can keep sexing her up, and it's amazing. Since it's clearcut that it's going to be casual, this time, i'm not going to hold back at all. Instead of trying to signal my readiness for commitment, i'll keep milking the cow until it dries, but i'm not going to feed it basically anything. This, of course, means that i'll be seeing multiple other girls the same i was before i even kissed her the first time - and if she doesn't like it, well, too bad, see? I'm not really alone and this is not really something i'm going out of my way to keep, ciao!

On the other hand, she said to my face that i'm not good enough to commit for. For reasons that hurt my pride, and for things that i cannot change. People know we were serious, and people will know that she ended it, and that i accepted the deal. This is kind of pathetic. So, by that line of reasoning, the best possible thing i could do, is say, thanks, but no thanks.

HOWEVER, i can do something else entirely. I take the deal, go for one last ride, fuck her brains out, and just before i leave her at her door, i say to her "This was the last time, thanks for the good memories!", while i go on my merry way and go viking up in this bitch.

Thoughts?
