Disagree. The DM should provide some sort of reason for the party to come together. Some sort of external influence, to bring in any characters that don’t start the game together.

But it is the duty of the player to roll with it. Don’t fight the plot hook. What’s the point?

I picked it up from an episode of Deep Space Nine. Good times.

I thought I was wrong, once. But I was mistaken.

Oh, infuriating, certainly.

That’s amazing is it? That they (grudgingly) take care of us while we are doing what they want, and hurt us until we fall in line when we don’t?

Seems a bar has been lowered while I wasn’t looking.

I’m familiar with both of those words. Ok also familiar with the idea of a lever-arm, and this one is too long for my sense of safety.

If it’s stupid but it works, it’s still stupid, and you’re lucky.

My loyalty is for sale.

RFK Junior is 71 years old. That’s not your shining example of “eventually gong to get himself killed.”

Your reading comprehension needs work.

I didn’t say otherwise.

I have no comment on weather the Korean War was a genocide. I don’t know enough about the topic.

Your statement, that I replied to, was “Nothing in the community rule say that the content should be about established facts”

That is what I understand. But that is not meaningful in this case. Speaking purely hypothetically, there is no reason that the US could not take advantage of North Korean aggression as an excuse to commit the genocide that the article accuses them of.

Should we be learning things that aren’t true?

The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

This was the statement at the top of this discussion. It values the local concept of what time should be over an objective measurement of what time is.

The proposed change wouldn’t cause much of a problem. But the idea under the statement I quoted would.

that is such a small edge case that it’s not necessary to talk about them

Did you manage to overlook this point?

In general, stay out of the ducking way.

And in both cases, missing the point. Categorize based on the chemistry, not the source of the chemical.

That’s an untenable position. I mean, Cocaine is a plant, too.

kind of my point. Trains need accurately measured time in order to run properly.
