    like the number of jobs is a fixed amount and and cannot go up if the wealth level of a given group goes up, which was how everyone though pre-capitalism

    I think

    Anyone know where to get a relatively inexpensive camera that records and can save files to like dropbox or something? I need to catch my neighbor's kids doing stuff because the rental office doesn't believe me that a teenager would throw rocks at cars, swear loudly, or stuff trash in my mailbox.

    but just in terms of my sadness and despair, on a 'normal' day without anything especially good or bad happening i can't begin to trace why i feel so overcome by dread and anxiety and hopelessness

    you're unhappy with your current situation. you're actively, productively working to change it - and should be proud about that - but you still spend every day in a difficult situation & environment that you resent

    tbh i'd be surprised if you weren't frustrated and stressed about that.

    Maybe you just have an anxiety disorder? Based on what I've read about how stress affects you it seems pretty definite.

    This is what I was trying to say >.>

    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    My history final is to write an essay, we can write it beforehand but we have to recall it from memory on test day. There's a lot of subjects tto pick from and one is to write about whether slavery was actually an economic good for the south or not, long term, disregarding the morality of it.

    I plan to write a paper about how it was not, and that thinking is based on the old ideas of finite wealth under mercantilism. Does this sound like a good or bad approach to take, or should I write about how slavery was awesome
    Don't do that. Do the other thing

    D&D morality is terrible and really not meant to be thought about at all. I think the Paladin concept alone demonstrates that.

    Actually estrogen hasn't made me cry a whole bunch more, but I am definitely on the verge of tears a lot more. Like, a lot more. And from things I'm expecting beforehand too. Fifth time through FFVI, get to a part I've seen and not cared about four times? OH GOD SO SAD

    My theory is that the perishability of desserts roughly correlates to their tastiness. Ice cream is better than cookies, and ice cream has to be stored in the freezer. Milkshakes are better than ice cream, and milkshakes can't be stored at all - you have to drink them right after they're made.

    Chu, if I was in your situation I would be quickly drinking myself to death off discount Whyskiy while yelling about how Obama and the blacks were keeping me down with my racist uncle.

    I would have definitely given up on bettering myself because that's haaaaarrrrdddd.

    In short: Chu a better man than I.

    There are good and even lawful good Undead. And it's not like there isn't ample examples of "evil" races having good members, particularly in the Realms.

    So, tonight I am going to run a playtest of nWoD's combat with the GMC rules update, and at the same time test my M&M3E to nWoD conversion rules.

    Because I'm going to be starting a new campaign next week, using Hunter: The Vigil's rules. It will be set in the DC universe, with the PCs playing new recruits into Checkmate. I talked a bit about this earlier in the thread.

    Well, DC already has an official RPG that uses M&M3E, and has released two giant books of DC dudes already statted up. Like fuck do I want to spend the time statting that shit, so instead I came up with rules to convert the guys over. Tonight, I am going to test those out against playtest PCs, see if the maths hold up.

    Thus far, based on the dudes I converted, it does.

    Your theory correlates with my findings re: out-of-the-oven cookies with a scoop of ice cream.

    like the argument for slavery to the common man was basically the same as today for immigration"they'll take ur jerb"

    like the number of jobs is a fixed amount and and cannot go up if the wealth level of a given group goes up, which was how everyone though pre-capitalism

    I think

    for a very long time the argument was "unskilled manual labor is hard and boring. lets make someone else do it"

    It took thousands of years for warfare to the point where people would actually be able to conquer and rule over the enemy territory. What it was mostly for was taking their stuff, taking some slaves then burning down the city and going home.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson
