Been playing tabletop rpgs since about 1998. Its my favorite hobby. I mostly play D&D, but I've played a lot of different ones over the years. I haven't had a game for awhile, but that's mostly just me taking a break from it.

The one were starting is D&D. So, its a little different from Shadowrun with the rolls. But easy to understand. So its all good And we have a good mix of people. Some are very familiar, some are brand new, and some in the middle And well be recording it. Well, audio, at least

Its been a while since I was able to play. I use to play every Sunday years ago, but the GM moved. And then they had to switch to Saturday And Ive missed it. That was Shadowrun

But some co-workers and civilian friends have started up a new game So, this should be fun. We did a One-shot today using our characters to get a feel for them. But we can change whatever we want for the real campaign My character for the game is a gay black bard whos pretending to be a wizard So, thats gonna be fun

Have you guys ever played any TTRPGs? What kinds? How do/did you like it?

Yeah it definitely gets more manageable but the beginning is a bit brutal when you are just exploring and have no clue how to slow it down. I just don't really see the plus side of it either. Like why punish me for taking my time?

I gotta replay it some time though.

The plus side to me is it feels more real. Instead of people always being in the same spot, they move around. They are at different places at different time. And even those change if you do stuff Its not really a punishment, either. As you explore, you get travel points to basically go further into a place. As for learning how to slow down time, I believe you learn it super early when you find Pierres spot Cant remember if you can talk to him the first of second time And I believe on the N64 version, the days were longer (at least the first set as they sped it up for the first three on the 3DS version)

That said, Im also biased at its my favorite Zelda game I think the only thing I didnt like were the save points for the owls. Most of the time, I finished after a reset. Haha

I don't know that they would. I think the outrage comes when someone feels like something they like has been changed in the name of social responsibility/wokeness. For instance, if I build a game from the ground up that's about gay people, no one's gonna be bothered. If I as a developer have frequently put gay stuff in my games and other things that I make, no one's gonna be bothered.

But if Mario and Luigi all of a sudden are like "Protect trans kids also sorry about Tomodachi Life that one time" people are gonna be like "Why is Mario doing this thing now? He didn't before, so he shouldn't now."

Maybe. But I think some people wouldnt like it. For example, its possible some Christian family who hates gays probably wouldnt want the game released if they knew about it, that is

This is disingenuous ignores the specific complications involved. I explained this. It's the same argument antivaxxers make which is specifically why it is disingenuous. The fact that this is irrelevant to you speaks volumes in your inability to realize why it's a faulty point.

Yeah. You keep saying that. Still doesnt change the fact that everything has risks attached

Gladius_ posted...
No, I didn't. That was a misunderstanding on your part of my points. I clarified that and everyone else moved on. You remained stuck.

I didnt remain stuck. You just kept mentioning it. But if you say it was a mistake, then we can move on

Gladius_ posted...
Adoption isn't an out. I explained this. A man can claim the child if adoption wasn't mutually agreed on. Then the woman is entitled to pay child support. If a child goes up for adoption and the man wasn't aware he could claim custody from the adoptees. Something that almost happened to my husband until his biological father decided it would be unfair to the adoptive parents.

It's not an out.

Its still an out, even if you dont want to believe it It is a way for you to opt out Theres no two ways about it. If you give you baby up for adoption, you definitely get out of physical responsibility. And if the father isnt the one who adopts the child, youre also out of financial responsibility. No matter how you look at it, adoption is an out Even if not always, it is most of the time

And like bigblu89 said, if the father already gave up parental rights, its definitely an out Like theres no way to say its not

Gladius_ posted...
You still don't understand something I spelled out repeatedly? *sighs* I don't know what to tell you. I don't know how to make it more clear. I don't even know why I am even bothering at this point.

Look, aside from what I already said. Even if you remove financial reasons from the equation completely. Woman should still have the right to abort due to the risks associated with pregnancy. As long as those risks exist, as long as it remains a physical toll on our bodies, as long as there is physical alterations to the body, we deserve the right to abort.

This is why the right to abort exists and the reasons why people state they have it isn't relevant.

It is important though. It means remove financial burden. Less people will have abortions.

This doesn't create an out for abortion to be suddenly barred. The right to abort is about bodily autonomy because of the toll it takes on the body.

Pregnancy health risks is our primary argument for why we should have the right to have them.

My argument is if that's the "why" then the right isn't about financial and therefore a "finacial abortion" isn't equitable.

Blu understands my argument but disagrees. Randy understands my argument and disagrees but believes maybe men should be responsible in part (pregnancy fee) but not (18 years) you and Gob seem to be absolutely confused.

The reason Gob is a better debater is because Gob is disingenuously pretending to not understand as a way to find gotchas. You are legitimately lost.

The problem is abortion shouldnt have to rely only on medical reasons. People should be able to abort for whatever reason that want to. Medical isnt the only reason people want to abort. And shouldnt be the only reason that can abort Most people already know that

Whether she aborts the baby or not doesnt matter when it comes to the guy, though. She makes her choice based on the information present. I just dont think that guys should always have to be burden with this responsibility. And that the mom should get the right to decide his financial future. After he has said what he would like, I think she should make her choice based that. If he doesnt want to be a father yet, and not financially responsible, I think thats fine. And she can make her choice based on that. Thats just how I feel Nothing will change that. So, will just have to agree to disagree on this. Im sure neither of us will change our stance in this

Im not lost, though I just disagree. That said, maybe its the way you say things. The reason Gob probably posted why people get abortions might be because of the way you said things. Like how when bigblu89 said, In many, many cases, it is though. when talking about how some people use abortion to escape responsibilities, you said, No it isn't. It's to escape potentially permanent health related consequences to something you either aren't ready or don't want to have. It makes it sound like youre saying that nobody eve has an abortion to escape responsibilities. And the only reason is health related. And that might be why he posted what he posted After that, Blu asked for evidence proving your reason. You posted what you posted, and Gob counter-posted. Thats why what Gob posted made sense. It was basically a direct answer to what Blu was asking for

I also never said I was good at debating. I said you were worst than me So, more lies So you havent proven anything

Abortion is relevant because it's the only opt out that is relevant to us. I stated why this is the case numerous times.

Except its not adoption is an out, as well Sure it has its stipulations. But its still an out for you Especially if birthing is safer, and the father doesnt want it Adoption is an out whether you believe it or not

Gladius_ posted...
Still harping on about this when I spelled out why Gob's data wasn't relevant to the argument?

Let me do it again.

Why. People. Cite. Their. Reason. For. Abortions. Does. Not. Represent. Why. They. Should. Legally. Have. Them.

Got it? Good.

Also abortion advocates =/= People having abortions.

It also doesn't paint the whole picture either.

How is it not relevant? He was trying to point out that not everyone has abortions for the reasons you said. You mentioned only health reasons. And thats fine for advocates. But for real people, they have different reasons. Sounds like you didnt like the data, so you call it irrelevant

Never lied or twisted anything and anyone who is being honest and saw my debate. Whether they agree or not would find the idea of me a poor debater laughable.

I called you out multiple times for handwaving our pregnancy risks and saying they didn't matter in multiple different ways. Others called you out for the same.

Gob didn't give any proof. Why people cite they have abortions is not the same as why people should have abortions and you know it.

You can easily go back and see. I never said I dont take the risk seriously. I said they dont matter when talking about financial opting out Because it doesnt. We werent talking about that. And the risks dont matter when talking about the guy opting out. And you know it. But you still keep bringing it up And the reason I called you a port debater in for a few reasons. Like how you kept bringing up stuff that didnt matter when going against my points. For example, I had never brought up the idea of taking away the female choice on having the baby. It was always about the male financially opting out. Yet, you kept (and still keep) bringing up actual abortion. Which was never the issue Or how you didnt accept Gobs data, and acted like only yours mattered. Or that the people in those articles were clearly saying the same thing as you when they might not have been

The father does not deserve to give up financial responsibility because the child deserves to have financial support. The woman can choose to abort because pregnancy carries serious health risks. You don't get an equivalent because you aren't carrying a child. The health risks are a problem the potential mother must face. So she gets final say whether the baby is happening or not. Once that decision is made both parties are responsible for the kid's financial support.

Asking for an out is pure selfishness.

I disagree. I think the father should have the right to give up financial responsibility And then, the mother can still decide if she can raise the child on her own or not. She still makes the decision about the child. That was never what we were talking about. Nobody has wanted to take away her decision there. This has always been about the financial responsibility She can birth or abort Just on her own instead of making the decision for someone else I dont think whether we carry the child matters in this case. Females still decide what happens to the baby. Just leave the men that dont want any part of this out of it Thats why the health risk stuff doesnt matter. What you decide to do with you body is up to you. Im just saying to leave the men of of your choice

Gladius_ posted...
The baby deserves financial support between both parents.

I disagree with this, as well All the child deserves is enough financial responsibility. And in one parent can do that alone, then you dont need the other parent to pay child support

Cpt_Pineapple posted...
what if the mother doesn't want to provide support for the child but doesn't want an abortion? Can the father sue her for child support payments?

If he gets custody, he can Id like it more if people could basically opt out financially

CyricZ posted...
I don't think it helps to pretend that the father saying "bye Felicia" has no impact on the mother's decision on the outcome of the pregnancy.

It may play a role in her choice But at the end of the day, its still her choice. Regardless of what factors contribute to it

To start going on about how people who get abortions are irresponsible is to drift towards the pro-life arguments.

But they arent saying that. They are saying the reasons that people they knew got abortions were for reasons other than health reasons. Someone being to young, poor, and not ready doesnt always mean they are irresponsible

Gladius_ posted...
Forcing a woman to carry means you are forcing her to risk her life for something she may not be able to afford emotionally or monetarily or that she doesn't want. Risk her life is the important distinction here.

But thats the thing. In the case of men having an out, they are forcing the women to do anything. If the father gets rid of financial responsibility, the women can still decide whether to keep the baby, about it, or give the baby up for adoption

Nemu posted...
That's ultimately just seeking to toss away responsibility from an act that required two people. If woman didn't have the burden of childbirth, it still would require the consent of both parents to do anything with the child, and both parents would be saddled with all the responsibility. As for current child support, usually anything to do with that is due to fuckery from the judge rather than actual fairness.

Except at that point, they would be choosing whether they want that burden or not. Lets say neither had the burden of childbirth. I think they should be able to choose independently Either can say yes or no. At that point, they would know choosing yes means having the full burden As of now, they are saddled with the task. But if they already know the father doesnt want the child, they can still make a choice. In the end, their choices are birth it or not And either way they go, they could easy find a way out of their responsibility. They can abort if they think thats safer, or give it up for adoption if they think birthing it is better Because if the father already said they dont want it, now the ball is in their court. They can choose what happens to the baby Thats why I think its fair if the man had an out (not limitless, of course)

As I said a few posts ago, I get that you want that, but you won't be getting it.

Because the reason things are how they are is because only mothers can carry. That's why they have the control.

You don't have to like it, but trying to implement things that are provably abusive against the mother is unacceptable. You'll have to come up with something a lot better.

I already know that we wont because people suck Thats not what the topic was about. It was just asking our thoughts on it I agree with it. Even before this topic, I had talked to other people about it

And Im fine with the mothers having control of whether the baby is born or not. I could care less about that. Its their body. I just want an out for financial responsibility for the fathers

I dont see it as abusive, though. If the man says they dont want to be a father, the woman can still make a choice of whether they want to keep the baby, abort it, or give it up for adoption. And if they want to go the adoption route, they can even get it in writing by an adoption agent the man permission. That way, he cant try to pull a fast one and get the baby himself Though, if my out was a thing, it wouldnt matter if he did

That's why we have birth control and abortion.

Yeah. But birth control isnt 100%, and abortion is only the womans choice. Hence why I want men to also have an out

What if it is a Detective game and a murder took place at a dragbar?

They would probably want the dragbar removed from the game

Under the current system, both parents have a duty to provide for the child financially no matter financial status or who has primary custody. Those with great disparity in income may choose to waive that right, but it's always there. Under a hypothetical where the government provides children with financial support, then there would be no inherent need to burden those who want no part in it.

I think we shouldnt burden them with something they dont want right now, though. Regardless of government help Also, you can try to waive the right, but it might not work. I remember reading about something where the women had custody and said she didnt want child support, and the judge still made the father pay child support, even though she said she didnt want it I wish I could remember where I saw it, though

Spoken just like an antivaxxer. Literally the same arguments they use.

If thats how you feel, thats fine But what I said is true

Gladius_ posted...
Not at all true which is why I stated that the burden shouldn't be placed on the man or woman alone as it is unfair. Especially since both parties can be screwed over or that the father in question may not even be able to afford to pay or that paying can ruin him. That's literally the opposite of what you claim. That's caring about the man in question.

Your argument to that was simply "Nothing will change so why fight?" You admit you don't care about the woman in question. There's a term for that you know.

The only thing Im trying to do is give the man an out they can use on their own like women have. And the out can also be used by women And I care about women. Nothing in my post says otherwise. But like I said, when regarding whether or not the father has an out, risk factors dont matter And how does Nothing will change so why fight? mean I dont care about women? Because it literally doesnt Its not even really directed at women specifically

Gladius_ posted...
Adoption isn't an out. Oh and if the man doesn't know about the adoption and finds out later? He can get custody and take the child in many cases from the adoptee's custody.

Adoption is an out. When I talk about an out, Im talking about a way out of financial and physical responsibility for the child. And if you give it up for adoption to some other, you arent financially or physically responsible for the child anymore So, its an out And he could possibly take the child If he finds out But the chances are low he finds out late depending on the circumstances. And even then, he still may not be able to get custody. There are so many laws around it, and restrictions and stuff Just because he knows doesnt mean hell actually get the child

Gladius_ posted...
So you only fight when victory is easy or you are on the winning side? There's a term for that too.

Sure It makes more sense to do so Why fight if you know youre going to lose, or that nothing you do will actually matter Id rather spend my time being happy and doing stuff while I can Instead of going to pointless protest and wasting my time Until we have a way to actually win, fighting is pointless People have been out there fighting, and all thats happened is more people lost rights So, obviously, its not working, is it? The people taking the rights away obviously dont care And even with the protest, theyll continue to do what they want to

Gladius_ posted...
You do. People like me are why you have more rights today than yesterday.

Not really Especially if I end up losing them as the ones in power are already stripping rights from people So, no. I have nothing to thank you for

Gladius_ posted...
Opinions aren't equal. Lol.

I disagree If they are just opinions, they are pretty equal

Gladius_ posted...
Woman shouldn't get out of paying child support if the government isn't picking up the slack. Woman should be responsible for it too.

This is why your claim I only care about the woman in this scenario is a farce.

The way you talk about it makes it sound like you only care about women. And I think both men and women should be able to have an out to not pay child support if they dont want the kid

That's essentially the core issue with most of them, and they all have ways to get you levelled up quickly.

Leveling up is one thing. But skill is slightly different. Even if you catch up on levels (which may not even do anything in certain games), catching up in skill would be more important

Yes. Sex is basically a contract that one may conceive a child. So, as long as it is consensual, both parties are agreeing to that possible outcome and both have to bear responsibility for it under our current system. In that contract, the woman gets more control over the outcome because she is taking most of the risk. In a different system years or decades down the line where we can assure the child will be given all the financial support needed, then the man should just be able to fuck off if he wants.

The problem is that that probably wont matter. For example, right now, even if the woman makes plenty of money (enough for her and the child to live very comfortably), the man still has to pay. In that case, she already was assured that the child would have the financial support they need because she had money. Bu the father would still have to pay. So, even if the government gave money to help (which I dont see happening), they would most likely still make the father pay

Do know that adoption does require the consent of both parents or as I noted in a previous post the father in question could claim custody of the child and demand financial support of the mother. So it's not this silver bullet out people have made it out to be. The father does have a say regarding adoption.

Except thats not true. In most cases, you should get the consent of both. But you dont need to in certain cases. Like not being able to find him, or not knowing who he is. Or if you just dont tell him. There are also other things like abuse, him not being a fit parent, certain things on his record like convicted violent felon and such. And if my plan was proposed, the women would also be able to get out of paying child support like I said for the man

You don't understand how statistics work do you? Risk factors always apply even if they don't effect everyone. That's such an inane example and is straight from the talking points of antivaxxers.

"But not everyone has serious complications!" Is that really your argument? The fact that they could and the consequences can be deadly absolutely do matter.

But then you go on to say "I don't care about the risk factors." No. You clearly don't. Having a discussion with you is pointless when you don't care about the wellbeing of the woman in question and you handwave our risks.

"Adoption.."

Isn't an out because a man can claim the child and hold the woman accountable for child support.

"Nothing changes there's no point in fighting the system."

How cute. Throwing in the towel already when we had to fight from having no rights to getting close to equality. Don't worry. I'll continue to fight for my rights and then fight for yours whether it's appreciated or not anyway. You're welcome.

I understand how statistics work. Everything has the potential for risk. Going out to eat has the potential risk of food poisoning, and for some, going to work has the potential risk of injury or death. Every just leaving your house has the potential risk of literally anything happening. But just because they all have the potential of risk doesnt necessarily make something risky. Just because I have the potential risk of food poisoning at a restaurant doesnt mean Ill call eating at a restaurant risky every time, for example

Sure, some pregnancies put the mothers life at risk. There are many that dont. And some that dont out the mothers life at risk, but just the unborn one Not every pregnancy is a risky one Its that simple. Yet youre trying to make it seem like they all are So its makes no sense that youre trying to trust the They could have complications excuse Unless youre also going to say that if they dont have complications, then the father doesnt have to pay

I dont care about risk factors with regards to whether or not the father has a possible out Thats true And it seems you only care about the women is the discussion. So, whatever

Thats if the man knows. And if he can even get custody. There are ways where he could fail to get custody, apparently. I been looking up stuff about it And if you paid attention to anything I said, you would know I wanted to women the same out as men. And it could be used here. For example, the out would give women the chance to not be accountable for the baby they wanted to give up for adoption that was adopted by the man. Just like the men, it has restrictions and limits. And adoption is still an out. Its an out that they still have the chance of using that men dont get

Yeah. Why fight anymore? Everything we fought for is already being undone right in front of us. The end result is fighting is pointless if the people in charge dont agree Thats evident by whats been going on these past years People have been protesting, and were still losing rights. Why waste my breath, time, and energy anymore If you want to waste your time, go ahead. Ill wait until we actually have a way to fight back

I have nothing to thank you for

For those of you who aren't processing, gunplagirl is rejecting the idea that a man should be allowed to get one financial abortion. She considers it absurd and abusive and not worth taking seriously.

It's a lesson that not every opinion deserves to be taken with equal measure of seriousness. Your opinion isn't worthy just because you've had one.

Also I was taught this ages ago, but don't use ellipsis in your message board posts. It looks like you're not clear on your own words or that you're uncertain or trailing off.

I think my opinion is worth as much as anyone elses. If people dont agree with my opinion, thats fine. Because I may not agree with theirs, as well But just because you dont agree doesnt mean my opinion is worthless

And if people cant understand Im clear on my words because of the ellipses, thats on them I always use ellipses Its just my thing

Not sure how much interaction you've had with gunplagirl, but apparently there's only 2 viewpoints when having a discussion with her:

Be 100% in agreement with her, or be 100% wrong.

There's no inbetween.

I cant say Ive had a ton of interactions with her. But from the few times we have interacted, that sounds like it might be right Though, cant say for sure

Yeah because fuck the kids. Jfc this is an awful idea.

I disagree I think its fine I would hope that shed be able to take care of the child if shes going to give birth. And I mean without having to rely on the father for money. Because you never know if youll get money from them (or enough money from them) They could runaway and be a deadbeat Or maybe they wont make much, and they barely get anything from them Its also possible they pass away, and then they wont get anymore child support. So, I would hope they consider that before having a baby and would be able to afford it on their own, in case something happened

Basically I mean, even if they paid, they still may not really be a part of that childs life The only difference is in one case, money is being paid for child you want nothing to do with But not just every man Iy would be Every man and woman gets one abandonment of their child.

I really feel like "like they couldn't do it all the time" is not something you've thought out entirely. You're going to have to get very specific about the circumstances.

Ive thought it out before I dont have all the rules, but basically, it wouldnt be something where they could be getting a different woman pregnant every night and leaving. Like you cant do this more than once unless extreme circumstances, for example That would include things like if you found out she sabotaged the condom, or non-consensual sex performed on you Which could be hard to tell I also thought about the stupid joke Chapelle made a long time ago, but it could be used. Maybe not a literally contract, though Also, the consequence make it so you can no longer have any contact with them at all None Gotta make the consequences big, I would think
