There's a dramatic difference between "willing to compromise and support other democrats" and "sold out her supporters".

American English has three languages that we do most of our cultural trade with.

  1. Commonwealth English
  2. Mexican Spanish
  3. Franciscan French

In both of the latter, multiple casual negative modifiers are additive instead of inverting. That is, they have the semantics of "bad" instead of "not.".

Consider :

"i do not not want a million dollars"

and

"That is a bad, bad cookie."

I mean, that Reddit has finally imploded to the point that trolls are looking for targets on lemmy is certainly notable.

I presume it's againt a local rule, though

You're assuming that the dramatically segmented and stratified experience is the "exact same service", which is patently not true.

There's a world of difference between a black officer who managed a supply line, a white non-comp who maintained aircraft, and a queer rifeman who witnessed half his unit die to an IED. And that's ignoring rape, gang infiltration, religions discrimination, and plain ol "was your CO a jerk or awesome?"

I can forgive virtually everything else he's said... But suggesting Biden grant a pardon to a man who has shown no remorse or even an admission that his alleged crimes might be wrong is so far off the path of wisdom that i dont think its even fair to count his seat "blue".

Sleeping on the couch isnt gping to bed, though...

I dont think you've ever been really cold if you dont recognize the difference in utility between "heat up my whole room a very little amount" and "heat up something i can feel."

To explain it simply: having heat trapped locally can help get heat into the human, which is far more important than putting heat into the air.

Despite her gender and presumable sex, i doubt many would describe her as having either warmth or depth or being a thing which brings joy.

It's not accurate to say she wasn't "allowed" - - she was the candidate for POTUS, and essentially literally the party boss.

Harris CHOSE to stand by Biden, warts and all, and in doing so inherited a bunch of his baggage. I presume this is in large part because she agreed with him, but it may be that she instead chose to hide her disagreement on the advice of others.

Very little, at least.compared to the opposition.

It was infested with myopic tomfoolery of a scale that can easily be described as "corrupt", but i haven't heard and specific allegations of anyone actually trying to lose.

Is the answer more complicated than "magazines are a dead medium and our entire annual revenue comes from our person of the year issue", coupled with "when we did this eight years ago that issue sold gangbusters"?

The term is "justifiable homicide".

If the Joker is about to blow up a bus of 30 people and Batman shoots him dead with a gun then the jury acquits because it was justifiable homicide

First house rule from my P2e remaster game, offered for your review.

Spell Slot Heresy

Since Pathfinder is balanced at a per encounter level, per-day limits on daily abilities are largely only kept around due to tradition. And tradition is just peer pressure from strangers, I don't see a good reason to follow it.

Any spellcaster can recover spent spell-slots with a one-hour activity, as noted below, while characters with focus points can recover them during combat.


Recover Magic

Traits: concentrate, exploration, manipulate
Requirements: You have expended a spell slot or used some other once-per-day activity

You spend one hour to recover your expended magical power.

During such time you may not work on any other activities or actions or be treated for wounds. At the end of the hour you regain spell slots or once-per-day abilities as per your daily preparations. If you have cast spells from a wand or staff, the item also regains any expended uses or charges.

If you are a prepared spellcaster such as a cleric or wizard, you may not replace what spells you have prepared for the day.


Refocus (1A)

Traits: concentrate, flourish, manipulate
Requirements: You are missing at least one focus point.

You take a moment to perform some deed to restore your magical connection, such as touching a talisman, speaking a phrase, or simply taking a breath. Doing so restores 1 Focus Point at the end of your turn.


EDIT: For the record, please presume the above is all released under the ORC license as a derivative of Player Core 1.
