Yeah that’s what the VAST majority of people here see as an Acceptable Protest

Like the biggest complaint I saw on facebook during the 2020 BLM protests was “why aren’t they just marching and holding hands and singing like Martin Luther King?”

I think a lot of it stems from the civil rights movement of the 60s using nonviolence (don’t break anything, don’t fight back, keep being kind) as a tactic, which some people used strategically and some people embraced wholeheartedly. It’s enshrined in the culture now as a Good Protest.

I’m not shocked at all because this is the moderate liberal culture I grew up in lol

Because freedom of speech is in the constitution and conservatives foam at the mouth over how much they love the constitution, but freedom to block traffic isn’t in there so it’s like a loophole

Yeah it gives cops an excuse to arrest protesters for not following the rules, and it gives law-abiding citizens an excuse to support it. It’s a big red flag if someone supports people getting arrested for protesting, but if people are getting arrested for blocking traffic that’s just about safety!

You’re not wrong!! There is absolutely nothing clear-cut about this situation or how it should have been handled. My point was more that wwx discounted the importance of himself actually being able to be present (and if fate hadn’t intervened in the worst possible way he probably

The tragedy is that wwx was like “obviously he needs his core to rebuild the sect” and jc was like “obviously i need my brother to rebuild the sect”

Not GM-less but I played a free one-page rpg called goat crashers where you are goats crashing a party, this guy has apparently made over 100 similar games. (Another is honey heist, you play as bears.)

Which is to say in the classes I’ve allowed AI use, I’ve actually been more successful at getting them to NOT use it because I show them what they’re supposed to do, they can’t get their AI to do it, they realize the AI is trash, they write the papers themselves, everyone is happy
