I agree with this. There are a lot of people out there who think both parties are the same and if Democrats put a show of pushing out people with Nazi tattoos and shitty text messages and abused employees then all of a sudden you're making inroads.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

kind of wild how fast the discourse went from Ezra Klein a month ago saying we should run pro life Democrats in red states to "look maybe the tattoo he got in Croatia before joining Blackwater was a mistake because he thought it had to do with pirates"

I remember playing it in like 2002 when friends said "it's like an anime RPG" and my response was that I didn't like anime. 18 months later of biweekly games, other weeks I ran Dead lands, I ended up loving what I would approvingly call an anime RPG.

I knocked on a lot of doors for Bernie, like a lot a lot, and I've really had to come to terms with the reality that others who supported Bernie and hated "identity politics" while insisting class politics is the only thing that matters also believe only white men can be working class and it sucks.

You really should know better and have better opinions then.

It's incredibly disappointing that any positive legacy Bernie would have is going to be totally destroyed by everyone he chose to elevate and promote.

Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"

I don't think it's especially hard to thread the needle to be fine with Jay Jones and to think Planter has crossed a red line. People acting like we are overreacting for whatever reason is just wrong and ridiculous.

I really think people are underestimating the degree to which 21st century politics are going to be apocalyptically bad; we are collectively sliding towards mass ethnic cleansing being the norm in the Western World, out of no reason but pure fucking spite and empty nostalgia.

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this

I refurbished a laptop and installed Linux on it to give to my grandmother and since she's only really using the browser I don't think she'll ever even notice or care. It's kind of amazing how little the OS matters for most people that they should be running the lightest OS they can.

Is kind of sad to see some do with Planter what many did with Trump where because the badness escalated somewhat slowly a lot of people got to defending things through incremental worseness that they never would have defended if it started there.

kind of thought the same thing about you but good luck with life and everything buddy

I was mostly responding to the insistence that D&D is about this one thing and nothing else and that Hasbro should only highlight this one thing since that is what the mechanics support. That picture looks more like how D&D is played more than my fav D&D picture (Elmore here) does. And that's OK!

1

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 20h

what are we even doing here, I feel like I'm losing my mind I've played D&D with dozens of different groups in a bunch of different countries and absolutely zero people I've played with in over 30 years have approached the game the way you're insisting it be played lol

There's board games for that.

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 20h

sure

2

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 20h

Yes, I am confident that D&D is mostly about laughing with your friends and only 10% about any rules or going through the mechanics battle encounters. And yes, I've been playing for over 30 years and just because I'm not playing some peak autistic version of D&D doesn't mean it's wrong lol

I'm not bragging when I say that unless you're like 45 years old that it is literally impossible for this to be the case lol

Is kind of funny he found a way I didn't anticipate by appointing everyone to DoJ and then suing the government to then pay him out via a free money glitch lol

After your mother found out she was pregnant with you did she immediately get hooked up to a Tylenol IV?

All the people defending him and all the people who were big mad about identity politics in 2016 is one big circle

Warcraft, which was originally a rip off of Warhammer so you're not wrong for confusing them

Do I think someone in the Democrats should be funding Corpsegrinder to run for Senate in Florida? Yes, yes I do. Let's give Ezra Klein that big ass tent he's been talking about.

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 23h

conversely I think George "Corpsegrinder" Fischer would be a great nominee for Senator from Florida
