A Texas county that was ordered to return banned books to its shelves is set to consider shutting down its library system https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/12/us/texas-llano-county-library-banned-books/index.html

Yeah, I've been long annoyed at the calls to ban video games. It's just very sad and grotesque we are going to endure a certain amount of deaths so that some grown-assed people can G.I. Joe cosplay. And all enforced by a Supreme Court that wants these wackos no where near them.

Fear is a big one, definitely. But it's not the only factor. The 2 lawyers in St. Louis that pointed a gun at protesters were definitely fearful, also racist. It's politics, too. If you buy 5 assault rifles and post them on social media you'll definitely piss off a liberal somewhere in America. Sure you spent a bunch of money and made your family less safe, but mission accomplished at lib trolling. The best way I've come to terms with this though is it's adults buying toys. And that conclusion made me lose a lot of respect for gun owners by the way. And I was somewhat pro gun as recently as the late 90's. It's like adults buying video game systems which I fully admit to doing. It's kind of childish, but my Xbox is unlikely to kill anyone either intentionally or by accident. There's toxic masculinity wrapped up in it as well.

Wow. I not only think De Satan is done with (I already thought that), but it sounds like he has gone off the deep end. I'm scrolling through Deadline and looking for entertainment news, not politics. And the headline is Satan threatening to destroy Disney and creating hotel taxes and road tolls. Obviously he thought he could out culture warrior Trump on multiple fronts and this was one was of them. But it appears really lost in the weeds and getting trolled by the mouse company even before Trump gets started on him.

Another new low for Putin and he releases a literal axe murderer on his own people.

Would he be charged if he did do that and they had the evidence?

Going there now. I'm not sure yet if I'll like it or not, but as a long-time player I have to support the brand. Plus, I think it's set in Forgotten Realms?

It was obviously not a shining moment for law enforcement, so yes. I'm skeptical of more law enforcement as a solution to a rise from record lows in crime. It seems more of a political strategy than something that will make lives better. I'll add that it depends on where the money goes, too. Something like mental health outreach might be a good thing. So, around 2014 I was renting a room in a trailer park here in the suburbs of Seattle. I'm out walking one day, I forget why as I didn't do that very often. But suddenly there are these guys in full fucking body armor going by. It was frankly terrifying. Have not had an experience like that before or since. (I'll add, this happened in full daylight) Like 95% plus of the population of the trailer park was non-white. I have no idea why the raid happened. I certainly did not feel protected. It was bullshit tough on crime politics that led to people dressed up as soldiers in my neighborhood. It was racist bullshit. And like a lot of racist policies they often boomerang and cause harm to some whites, too.

I would submit Uvalde. You shove as many mens as possible into uniforms, point them at a problem, and crime magically goes away in record time.

How do you get around players abusing rest mechanics to heal up and get spells/etc then?

The new edit and quote system got me again. Sorry about the double post.
