idk how someone doesnt get in trouble for sexually harassing other women while in a long term relationship though

i guess if there's some abuse going on in the relationship and the partner feels helpless to do anything about it?

i do understand how our society makes it easy for an unattached man to get away with these things

From the PHB: On a hit, an Unarmed Strike deals bludgeoning damage equal to 1 + your Strength modifier. You are proficient with your unarmed strikes.


in pegasus' defense, that's an updated version of the PHB text.

original version you have to piece it together: all but 2 classes have proficiency with simple weapons, and unarmed strikes are a simple weapon in chapter 5: equipment.

we could shut down their polling centers and minimize their ability to participate in early voting

or gerrymander their voting districts so that in a state with five districts and 50/50 of each party, one district is 80%+ of their politicial affiliation and the other four are 60% ours

or just create a bunch of states with a population of 500,000 that will reliably vote for our preferred candidates until 30% of the population controls the election of 70% of senators

The why does the PHB single that out?

bad writing.

unarmed strikes are classified as simple weapons. so potentially by the book, wizards and sorcerers might not be proficient with them, although errata has decided they are (again, meaningless).

but everyone else--incl monks--is proficient with simple weapons, and unarmed strikes are simple weapons.

he gave 18 billion to his open society foundation, whose focus is not US politics. that's far, far more than has been spent by him, the kochs, adelson, or anyone else on US politics.

America's history is based off the manual labor of non-whites being exploited


Referring to the railroading industry, right?

As I recall from my history texts, those weren't indentured servants, but rather exploited workers, who again were left with the choice of deeply underpaid industrial labor or subsistence farming.

No argument that we were exploiting non-whites, but in this case it was more a matter of the non-whites being the ones lacking options, and capital settling on them over whites since they were cheaper.

It's racist, but the core driver was the struggle between labor and capital, and as labor in the US domestic population gained more options, capital looked elsewhere for new, cheaper labor.

I do not have any argument with the core point: that capitalism has always relied upon capital extorting a very one-sided deal from labor. Just the nature of how that deal came to be and why labor had so little choice in the matter. It wasn't a gun held to their head so much as starvation held to their gut.

Perhaps that's no better. I am no moral authority.

The major industries were heavily reliant on cheap southern cotton, though.


Were they? The US economy included textiles, but was also heavily invested in steel and railroading. There was much more competition from overseas in textiles (as our mercantilist competitors had a lot of silk/cotton flowing in from their colonies) than there was in steel, since the US' natural iron and coal deposits were unique among industrial powers.

Searching for a breakdown of segments of the economy during the 1800s is difficult, but I'd happily grant you the point on this if you have the data available somewhere. Interested and not taking a hard opposition stance since there's a valid point to be made regardless of the degree to which our economy was diversified.

Might have been that we started with textiles as most others did, and expanded to steel after the initial base was established and created a demand for steel in and of itself. I honestly don't know.

I want to comment specifically on this: those who fear nuclear war as a response to the appropriate decision to destroy the Russian economy over their decisions to invade two of their neighbors and annex territory are cowards of the highest degree, comparable to neville chamberlain and other dickless fools of history.

It's like people don't understand what the cold war was, why it happened, or what effect it had on the USSR. Or, more likely, they do, but they are fascists themselves and feel they have more in common with the fascists in Russia today than the blacks in America today.

slavery in the south isn't really the relevant analogue for capitalism in the US. the vast majority of wealth in the US was concentrated in the industrialized north, which was not built upon either slave labor or indentured servitude, but rather a labor/capital relationship that was tilted strongly in favor of capital simply because the alternative option for labor was subsistence farming.

always remember this: the reason capital tends to get more out of its negotiation for wealth than labor does is because it has options.

In fairness, there's totally a dramatic equivalent of the jump scare and some movies use it pretty well.


This is a fair point. Films like Up and Arrival come to mind immediately when I consider this narrative technique. It's a bit more nuanced than a jump scare since "sad" is a more complex emotion than "frightened." Usually requires musical elements blended together with the big reveal, and manipulation of "adult fear" so to speak.
