A lot.

Terrorists rely mainly on terror in order to force a political change. In other words they act with intent to sow fear among the civilian population to cause civil unrest which would, eventually, result in harm and damage to the government. While some do target with a focus on military action the goal of a terrorist is, simply put, to sow terror in some form. If it harms the enemy military that is a bonus but it isn't usually the main goal.

This is not what happened at all with the American Revolution. In the AR the goal was to weaken and dislodge the control of the thirteen colonies that the British Empire held upon them. Much of the unrest and rioting that happened happened as a result of terrible British rule and attitude instead of being intentionally sown by the revolutionaries. Neither side was particuarly interested in attacking the civilian population and, while disharmony with England benefitted the Revolutionaries, it was not their intent or goal. From day 1 the focus was on getting the British off of colonial soil due to the multiple grievances that the colonies had against them.

Here's a simple way of thinking of it. A terrorist is basically hoping that causing enough damage, especially damage targeted at a civilian population, will result in the civilians reacting against the government so that the terrorists will stop. That's not what happened in the slightest with the AR.

Zeus does not have alts. Instead he descends down in the form of a swan, bull, or similar animal to lie with beautiful virgin women. Those 'alts' that you see are his demigod offspring sired by him to carry on his posting torch in his name.

I thought liberty was a part of US culture. Guess not though, good to know.

The inability for a government to act on numerous significant civil rights violations is a major single issue.

Like it or not the fact is that, in a nation as huge as America, the loss of life from someone would have to have said someone be extremely important in order for it to register as a cultural loss. However the White House is the center of government in the U.S. and has been for centuries. Losing it is simply far greater a loss and that will remain true no matter what happens.

It depends on the game. Something like having to wait for day/night in Pokemon can become extremely frustrating if your play window is limited. Like, if there's a pokemon who only comes out in the day but you're at work/traveling for almost the entire day you could end up struggling to get that mon simply because of the cycle. So I don't feel like real time is a good solution if there's important content timelocked. However in other games it's either largely meaningless or only has minor effects.

I feel like the best way to do it is have it operate on a 2-1 cycle (2 hours day, 1 hour night) with the ability to change between if there's some form of missable content.

I think a huge part of the issue is that there are a number of legitimate non-racists who end up having their actions either mis-interpreted as racism or end up supporting a system that has problems.

Like, for example, let's assume you are working for a company with two people you plan to promote. Alice and Bob. Both are decent workers with fairly similar resume's. However your working experience with Alice has left a very sour taste in your mouth because she's aggressive, confrontational, and arrogant. As a result, when the time for promotion comes, you promote Bob. Alice responds by violently trashing your office, calling you names, spreading rumors, and generally being horrific to you. When a new position opens up it's Alice and Candice trying for the promotion and you sure as HECK aren't going to promote Alice after that display.

Now here's the issue. Alice is black while Bob and Candice are white. Your judgement on who to promote was not based on race. It was based on the fact that Alice is a terrible person you don't want to work with at all. Except now all the people in this position are white and you've passed over a black candidate multiple times. Congrats. You're a racist now. If you try to reject and rebel against this label because your reasoning for rejecting Alice was not racially motivated it's a crapshoot at best and the damage to your company will likely be far too massive even if you do get cleared in the end. When that happens and you are presented with a choice, side with the people who ruined your career because you refused to hire/promote someone you found to be terrible, or side with the people who think you were in the right (and some of them having similar experiences), which do you think they'll choose?

This is not saying racism, racial discrimination, systematic racism, or the like doesn't happen at all. I've seen it happen plenty of times in person and been on the receiving end of it myself. Things like hispanics expecting a fellow hispanic to override store policy and let them do something illegal because they're of the same race, promotions being handed out distinctly along racial lines, and other such things. What I'm saying is that people fighting against racism really need to be careful about who they label a racist and why because not only does motivation matter a LOT, improper labeling can lead to people siding with the other side simply because they're the side that's welcoming them and not accusing them of being a horrible person.

This whole ordeal with George Floyd has made me seriously question my own experiences with the police. In my experience with them they were always friendly, decent, and protective. However I also understand that, as a white person in a decently well-off location, my experience with them is distinctly different than what is happening in these other places. On the one hand I do think there is a serious issue that needs proper addressing...

On the other hand there's a bunch of rioters and looters going about threatening people and I'm now afraid that if I don't at least pretend to support them I'll be attacked. A total breakdown of law and order in favor of mob mentality. Why the heck would I want to side with a violent mob except out of fear that they might hurt me?

it does often seem that a good/evil conflict is more severe than a lawful/chaotic conflict, but I've never read anything that explicitly says that the lawful/chaotic spectrum is of less significance than the good/evil one. it's fine I guess, but it would mean that the "chaotic" in "chaotic good" means very little.

also I think you're missing degree/magnitude. a mass murderer and a demon might both be chaotic evil, but so can a shoplifter. if a person's general attitude is "f*** the rules, I want this and I'm taking it", that's chaotic evil, even if it's to a much less degree.

Well, I usually find it's better to think of law vs. chaos as a difference between the self and others. In other words a lawful person views the world as a whole and their actions in it within the framework and context of how it will affect others. Conversely a chaotic person is focused on individualism and themselves (even if this is beneficial). So, like, a LG person might set up a homeless shelter because they see it as something that would benefit society on the whole while a CG person might, instead, brew up a pot of stew and take to the streets. A lawful evil person would be interested in setting up a society founded on tyranny and the like while a chaotic evil person wouldn't care one bit about something like that and, instead, focus only on themselves and what pleasures them with little to no regard for others. So, if it helps, you can sort of see law vs. chaos as being 'self vs. other'.

Generally, the more niche the game is, the less toxic the fanbase. Find the odd 20 year old PC game that still has a small community playing online and you'll probably find a pretty non-toxic community.

While I think that's a decent rule of thumb I don't feel that's actually causative, merely correlated. I've seen a bunch of smaller games with varying degrees of toxicity. I think what actually causes it is competition and stakes; especially between players. Like in a vs. shooter you've got your ranking on the line so if you've got someone on your team who isn't pulling their weight for whatever reason you risk losing hours of work. Even if it's co-op you'll get people upset that the raid wiped for three hours because the druid wasn't healing well or a DPS stood in the fire causing people to lose their temper. Smaller, indie, games are usually less competitive and have lower stakes meaning less toxicity; but if you were to find a game with one of those two you'd likely find the toxicity shoot right back up.

A high skill cap can also result in a toxic nature, especially if you have people who aren't skilled getting paired with people who are, but that's more of an augment than a cause and there's multiple ways to negate it.

Having the high score when it comes to killing Nazis is a pretty big mitigating factor.

Not to mention Hitler killed more people total. He was more than just the Holocaust. He was WW2 as a whole.

You do realize that Stalin was almost on the Nazi's side; right? As in 'he and Hitler invaded Poland together'. Pretty much the only reason he wasn't part of the axis is because Hitler made the dumb mistake of trying to invade Russia. And no, Hitler is not responsible for the atrocities committed by the Japanese. Hell, what they did to Nanking was so bad the NAZI'S were appalled! Not to mention that blaming him for WWII is kind of... well... murky. Things like what happened in Poland make it so that the whole thing could have been easily averted and other things like the multitude of treaties burdening Germany is what made Hitler's rise even possible in the first place.

This is veering dangerously close to the "We should have supported Hitler against Stalin as the lesser of two evils during WWII" school of thinking

I'm not. Hitler was a terrible person who let his hate blind him and committed so much evil and wrong I doubt we'll ever fully understand all of it. Stalin was terrible, arguably WORSE, but his siding with the Allies (even if it was because Hitler invaded) allowed for the removal of one of them. What I am saying is that, for lack of a better way to say it, at least Hitler wanted to make the world 'better'. It's true that his version of 'better' is largely horrific and would have resulted in a fascist empire being born; but compare that to people like Stalin and Mao who cared only for their own power and had no problem oppressing and destroying their own people to maintain it and, well...

But let's keep in mind. I'm making this judgement call from a world in which Hitler died in 1945 while Stalin lived to 1953 and the Soviet Union lasted till 1991. I'm 100% positive my opinion would be different if the inverse was true. But, thankfully, we don't live in such a world. Especially since I'm also fairly certain that Hitler wouldn't have had the self-control to keep his finger off the 'nuke' button so such a world might be me speaking as a pile of radioactive goop.

While I am aware that that is the 'official' definition (though I believe it's considered outdated even by D&D standards) I disagree heavily with it since it tends to define things only through the context of an adventuring narrative and tends to artificially encourage both limited character-types and characters/players conforming to extremes with no acknowledgement for nuance. Like, for example, a chaotic neutral person by that system would basically have to be a crazed madman and couldn't, say, be an anarchist who just wants to be left alone to live their own life or a bard who only cares about their career as a bard instead of the cosmic battles between good and evil. Hence my own definitions.

Here's some more 'joke' alignments that are pretty important to note.

Lawful Stupid/A**hole: This person believes in upholding laws and codes to a level that, frankly, is absurd. These aren't the people who refuse to turn right on red and wait for the light but, rather, the sort of idiot who would stop a doctor from saving an orphans life after a car accident because the park bench 'isn't a properly designated medical facility'. Or, more accurately, the boss who complains that an employee clocked in 5 minutes late and ignores that the reason said employee was five minutes late was because the boss stopped them to talk in the hallway. Did the king manage to obtain the MacGuffin through a crime boss that he's now handing over to the party to save the world? He's obviously a criminal and must be arrested! Did the rogue pick-pocket the key from a guard so they can escape jail from unjust imprisonment? He's a criminal and should have served out his 2,000 year sentence! Very often the paladin.

Stupid Good: The bad guy is beaten but the party is downed except for the healer girl. Thankfully she gets a nat 20 and blasts him away. Except instead of finishing him off the villain PROMISES to be good and open a puppy orphanage and TOTALLY won't destroy the world if she spares him. And she believes him. Stupid good characters tend to believe in good to a level that is, frankly, absurd and annoying. Not only must evil be banished but even neutrals are suspect while, at the same time, being willing to believe any sob story, feigned 'redemption', or the like. An odd mix of a crazy white mage and templar these are the people who have no problem exterminating entire goblin camps with fire but if said flame even slightly singes a puppy you're an evil heartless monster who deserves punishment!

Chaotic ***hole: Your party has been captured and thrown in jail. Thankfully the rogue pickpocketed the key and freed everyone... And as you walk out into the hallway the bard not only yells out to the guards but conjures a giant arrow to point at the party while they take off in the opposite direction. Justifying it as 'escaping while you distract the guards' or some other crud. These are the jerks who gladly lock party members in rooms until they fork over gold, steal loot from the party even when it makes no logical sense, and everything else that would normally get them thrown out of the party in an instant if it was 'real'. Basically every jerk you're thinking of.

Stupid Evil: You are just getting started on the game. You have the Lawful good Paladin, the Chaotic Good Cleric of Thor, the Neutral Good Elfy bard of puppy loving, and then... This guy. Did the GM literally not even finish the intro describing the setting? He's already rolling to attack the bard. Is the Paladin fighting a heroic last stand and just BARELY winning against the dragon? He'll backstab the paladin and side with the dragon (note: The Dragon won't side with him for obvious reasons). Did the cleric just free a bunch of orphaned slaves? He'll shoot them in the back and throw the bodies into a pot for cooking right in front of her. This person doesn't just do evil, he actively does evil literally for no sane or INsane reason. Is the cleric healing him from near-death? Stab her in the throat and it counts as a sneak attack! It might be mistaken for trolling... except that this guy is 'serious' in what he's doing. Basically doing evil not even for the sake of doing evil but because he can't comprehend that not only both the characters but the players at the table as well don't approve.

Good Gay: We will not get into the question of homosexuality and if it's right, wrong, or otherwise. That's not the point here. The point is that someone made a character who is, effectively, always right because of their homosexuality and if you side against them or anything for any reason you're, inevitably, on the side of evil. Did they just kill a bunch of seemingly random villagers? They'll turn out to be spies from the evil nation that hates the good nation and did we mention that the good nation practices free love and openly embraces homosexuality with a queen in a loving and tender lesbian relationship while the evil nation sees even an idle glance between two men as a ticket to hell? The issue here isn't the question of if LGBT is right, wrong, or otherwise. Rather, it's the fact that they ARE right unconditionally and if you don't love and adore them for it you're a horrible monster. You'll find that you could literally eat a baby in front of their weeping parents but still end up going to heaven if you 'support' them.

This is, of course, ignoring things like the Mary Sue, the Murder Hobo, and the Rules Lawyer which aren't actual alignments (even if they to have a tendency to affect them).

"A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations."

The almost describes batman to a T.

It depends on the writer. Batman can fluxuate between CG, NG, and CN depending on the writer easily enough; but he tends to fall somewhere between NG and CG. The way I've always seen it is that Batman believes in the law and that it's needed, a good thing, and so-forth but he also believes that there needs to be people who function outside of the law for various reasons in order so that the law can do it's job. In a world of supervillains that may, very well, be true.

IMO because NG's philosophy is one of doing good above all else and, to quote a particular tumbler post 'because in fantasy settings I can help everyone'. Since a NG philosophy tends to advocate for following the laws but not being confined by them, especially in the desire to do good, they tend to be the most 'heroic' types and are also frequently represented as the heroes in movies, games, and other media. Link, for example, typically does follow the laws of the land but doesn't have an issue with breaking them in order to defeat Ganon (in games where there are laws I mean). Using the Lens of Truth on a guessing game is okay if it means getting what's needed to defeat the greater evil. Compared to someone like Zelda who typically functions more in the confines of the law and tradition which is unsurprising giving her nature as a princess. IMO a simplistic way to put it is that the action itself matters less than the motive behind it in regards to determining alignment.

LG people tend to believe that laws, society, traditions, and the like will keep people safe and allow for an ease of life. A good example of this is Yuna from FFX before she finds out the truth about Yevon. She believes in the calling of summoners and is willing to sacrifice herself in order to provide Spira with a temporary respite and firmly believes that, maybe, Sin will be finished for good one day. Superman would be another example of this since he adhires to a moral code and abides by it even when he knows full-well it's being exploited. For example a villain only freeing him if he promises to help their family and Superman then doing so despite the promise being made to a villain.

NG people tend to believe in helping people inherently and that the ends tend to justify the means more often than not. We see both heroes and well-intentioned extremists here (at least attempting to be NG). There are ample examples in RL and Fiction of this but, generally, their focus isn't on laws so much as achieving the goal.

CG people tend to be the active rebels who outright reject authority in favor of personal and independent action. While the 'rebel fighting against an evil empire' is a classic this is also where you get things like priests who decide that bringing the word of God to a people and helping those in need matters more than church dogma.

LN people tend to care more about the law and rules than anything else, but this is often a poor representation. A better way to summarize this is that good or evil aren't part of their goals at all. Their goal is to build a functioning society. This is where you also get people who follow laws and orders with little to no question or thought to break them. So a police officer would, likely, be LN while acting as a police officer. It's not that the won't consider breaking a law or hold the rules to be utterly sacred but, rather, their belief that society requires said laws and that people need to uphold them is core to their identity.

TN people tend to be people who, well, are people. They go through life caring little for good and evil, law and order, or anything else and care more about how to survive the day. They will typically try to follow the rules but don't care if they break them. They'll try to be good but it's not actually part of their goal and they don't have an issue committing evil to accomplish it.

CN people tend to be self-focused. That is to say that the things they care about are mainly about themselves. This doesn't make them greedy or selfish by any means but they typically care little for the law and motivations tend to be personal as opposed to anything else. For example, a merchant who cares mainly about money may not be about to try and pass off red-colored water as healing potion but, at the same time, doesn't care if the person they sell to is good or evil.

LE people are typically the kind of person who abuses the law for personal power. Tyrants are an obvious example but on a smaller scale it would include things like people who gleefully exploit company policies to get them to honor expired coupons or give them free products. This can also manifest in the belief that the only way for society to function is when ruled by an iron fist and cracking down upon, or utterly removing, personal freedoms in favor of power and control.

NE people tend to be the perfect example of the hollywood scociopath. People who don't care one bit about the suffering of others and will gladly ruin or destroy their lives for their own, personal, goals. This is where the selfish jerkwads and the like also end up as well as people who commit horrific acts for alien reasons. It's not that they adhire to, or rebel against, the law. It's that the law doesn't really apply to them either way.

CE is where you get the violent brutish types. These are the people who basically only care about the id, pleasuring themselves in the here and now with little to no regard to what it does to other people. Kill a bunch of innocent travelers for their gold? Booze tonight! A common misconception is that these people are all violent and destructive monsters and basically demon worshipers. The reality is that these people are the people who only care about themselves and see little to no reason to not screw over others for their own personal gain.

My personal take on it.

In D&D 10-11 is considered 'average for a human'. So anything lower than that would be below-average and anything higher would be talented. A 9 in INT wouldn't be exceptionally DUMB but you'd probably see them saying things like 'who cares if a game has a few bugs? Bethesda games are the best!'. An actual 'handicap' would depend on the handicap. Since we're talking INT here something relatively light might only be a -1 but I suspect the lowest it would actually 'sink' is a 7 if you got something REALLY bad without being a freaking veggie.

Of course that's all just by the 'technically official' rulings. In your own game your GM can declare whatever they want for relative stats.

The one set in France.

If they ironed out all the bugs though, the one set in London.

The issue is simple. London lacked any sense of personality or charm to it while resulted in the game feeling like some weird GTA knock-off. The characters weren't that interesting and the girl was probably the superior of the two anyways so you'd spend almost all your time as her. While it did have a few interesting moments most of the time it just felt like a boring checklist with little insperation. Paris felt unique and Arno was actually a decent protag, especially in comparison to the twins. If it wasn't for all the dumb bugs/design choices that constantly plagued the game it would easily be the better game.

That depends on way too many questions that can't be answered here. Like, for one, is this a robot or a person? Is this just a meat husk/artificial body or is there an actual personality present?

No. It's annoying and fogs up my glasses bad. Can make it hard to breath as well.

Be sure to fully upgrade your ship before the final mission. It helps.

From what I understand the three main 'answers' I've see are...

1) They exist like any normal planet. It's only Earth that's flat.

2) Crystal spheres or some variation.

3) They're illusions/hoaxes usually by NASA to get more funding.

I have broken a mans body as a child.
I have won an internet debate.
I was present at the birth of a meme.

Never guess which one is the lie?

also it's appalling that grocery store workers and food service employees have to keep going to work while watching people make way more than them on unemployment.

Aye. Agree there. I heard some woman had her employees get furious at her because she took out a forgivable loan to re-open her business because they were making more on unemployment than they were working.

That's exactly what you're doing lol, most people are talking about the companies that can absolutely afford to raise their wages so coming in with an "WELL ACTUALLY" is downright hilarious

Yea. I know I'm doing it. I hate myself for it. But the fact is that, when you go out demanding you get paid more because you feel your job isn't just essential but demanding of respect at a time when most people are unemployed and terrified to go outside and companies, especially smaller companies, are struggling to get by... the entitled one in the situation isn't the company. You're basically telling all the people who are unemployed that you're not just fortunate, you're BETTER than them because you're job is ESSENTIAL while they were superfluous chaff. You're telling the small business owner who is struggling to survive due to the loss in income to go screw themselves because YOU want more money. Because it's all about you.

In any other situation I'd be on your side since I've been working the 'essential worker' jobs and been shit on by the company. I've seen nepotism happen, terrible employee's get promoted while hard-working ones get screwed, and everything else. Those were miserable years and I definately feel that the monopolies and the companies that exploit them are terrible... But right NOW I see people every day who just wish they HAD a job. Stores empty and devoid of people, businesses closing for good for a variety of reasons, and now the pizza delivery guy says he's better than them and deserves a raise. All while I've been surviving off of ramen and beans and am practically begging for a job so I can get some actual food in the house again.

Yea. I hate the big companies. They exploit their workers and are a huge part of why we're in this mess (their constant business exporting to China). But that doesn't mean you should go lording the fact that you have a job over the unemployed and demanding more money when it may not be feasible at all. I'd rather be exploited by Walmart and have food in my pantry than be sitting around all day with, like, half the nation unemployed.
