He’s not wrong. Every time I come across a Christian honor killing in the news it’s done by an Arab Christian, never (rarely?) a white Christian. How one acts in religion is genetic, which comes before culture. Nature comes before nurture. You can’t teach fungus to do math.

Depends on your biological classification, all of those animals if I remember correctly are deuterostomes, organisms where the blastopores develop into the anus hole first during embryonic development before developing the mouth or feeding hole.

And given enough time, all mammals would mustelidise (evolve to be more weasel and Mustelidae like) before diverging again or hyper specialize towards a particular ecological niche and then go extinct as environmental and geological changes causes said niche to disappear.

I see.
Legitimately interesting.

My setting doesn't really allow for easy settlement of non-defensible locations. So every settlement is pretty heavily fortified due to the threat of monsters.
So no equivalent to plains people. There are a few nomadic groups, but those nomadic groups prefer areas with natural defenses, hiding spots, and cover and tend to avoid open plains.

Open plains tends to equal very big monsters.
Also the reason people avoid deserts in my world unless they are intentionally hunting monsters. More open space means monsters are free to get bigger.
Less open space means they are constricted in size. It's why ironically monsters in dungeons are significantly easier to deal with, at least individually, than monsters of the wilds.

It should be relatively simple to prove him wrong, anon. Simply denounce Marx and communism. No reasonable person should have a hard time doing that, since the ideology has killed more people than Hitler, Putin and Bibi combined.

I'll do it after he denounces Hitler and fascism, which no reasonable person should have a hard time doing, since the man killed more people than Stalin, Pol Pot, and Castro combined.

>>97830897

This is a bit oversimplified and pushes those ideas much further than most scholars would. However, it is true that people with something to lose (but not fully secure) tend to be more concerned with appearances and norms. Teachers, managers, merchants, yeomen, shopkeepers, craftsment, bureaucrats, media professionals help define “acceptable behavior.” Groups try to signal morality, discipline, and refinement to gain or protect status.

It is however simply not true that they are all sexism, racism, puritanism and morality come from the middle class. More accurate is to say that classes in the middle of the hierarchy often experience strong Status Anxiety, which can lead them to emphasize norms, respectability, and moral behavior as ways of maintaining or improving their social position than other classes would Everyone performs; just differently.

>Elites perform through:
Signal status through effortless distinction: Exclusive tastes, etiquette, education (think “old money culture”). Can break rules without losing status.

>Middle classes perform through:
Signal status through visible correctness: Gatekeepers of "Good behavior,” politeness, following social rules. Buying things that signal taste and upward mobility (not necessarily luxury, but the right kind of lifestyle).

>Working classes perform through:
Often signal through authenticity, resilience, or group loyalty: Toughness, authenticity, community identity.

I actually suggest letting him die and replacing him with his son, Eugene L.N.B., who'd be the exact same unit, but keeping all the lore - Charles' story happened, he met Akamnandag etc. and on the meta level we could say he was playable in an early edition. Emperor or not, this man fucked, he'd make a heir eventually.
For simplicity's sake we could use actual Eugene as base, regardless of whom Charles is likely to marry in this timeline. He'd be using his military career to build up clout and political support and basically become a mixture of his own father and Boulanger OTL.

"Nothing good" my sire says:
-Werewolves are holed up in the north end.
-There are some Anarchs in St. Vital who oppose the Sabbat so they've been killing each-other on the south end of the city. The Baron goes by "Trelaine" and I think he's a Toreador.
-Camarilla from Alberta are trying to move in downtown but they've lost a lot of people to the Sabbat and the werewolves. Some Ventrue leading them, sire didn't catch her name.
-Sabbat almost everywhere else, no idea who leads them. Now that they're fighting a two-front war the sabbat needs more recruits who aren't shovelheads and they've apparently tried to recruit my sire (and by extension me) through familial clan ties. My sire has no interest in anything other than their own metamorphosis and vicissitude research however. I think their command center has moved to St. Boniface from downtown, since they got pushed out by the Cammies.

Hikaru is now the great Mr 6 7 for that deep think.

Would allowing the players to have a paper and pencil to do calculations or take notes reduce the amount of time that players take on thinking? Would it increase the level of play? Would it lead to more draws?

>>97831258
I would lose time writing things properly.
>Would it increase the level of play?
I don't see how you'd find the best move by writing.
>more draws?
Impossible at this level, they maxed out already.

>>97832596
My thought is that it would probably reduce thinking time. My IQ is 80, so it might just be me, but I think Hikaru would have done a bit better if he just wrote down all the possible moves and the different branches that could arise from them. Just to organize his thoughts, you know? It could have reduced his thinking time.

the trick is to avoid games with enforced monopolies. if they're just using their rules as a way to get you to buy the official minis, you are going to have a shitty time. fortunately that only describes like 20% of the hobby. it's the most visible 20% because they advertise and shill like crazy, but it's not all there is.

once you get out of that bubble playing minis games becomes very affordable. most skirmish games can be played under $40 per army. some shit like gaslands or brikwars can be played for almost nothing.

Not really. I'm kind of average-to-above-average intelligence but based on talking to other people my internal sensations are far more vivid and detailed than most people.

If we're basing the idea that someone's mentally better than others based on what kind of sensations someone can experience in their brains than I regret to inform you that most of you aren't actually human.

But thankfully, that's kind of nonsense. Internal sensation is kind of a grab back based on a bunch of inscrutable factors.

>>97832445
Problem with your theory, dumbass. I don't have aphantasia. I can picture everything fine. The problem is that when you boil it down, all of you are playing in featureless rooms with furniture and corners that you spawn and despawn at will.

>Lot of assuming about motives.
What did you expect from bringing it up explicitly as part of a highly emotionally charged railing against theater-of-the-mind with no alternative purpose offered? That the response would be accurate mind-reading of it being in a previously entirely unmentioned context?

>But your visceral reaction to the idea that someone would actually keep track of what you're doing shows me what I need to know.
No, my first post in this thread was >>97832187 in which I specifically mention the inability to maintain relative positions. The underlying point still stands, because you cited it as how you know. That statement entails that you didn't know before to full confidence, and by extension that you did not have enough confidence in your own mental model of the game-state for their divergence from it alone to result in calling out the inaccuracy.

>>97832454
How many tasks depend strongly on the ability to internally synthesize novel visual states? Even in outright artwork there's successful people with aphantasia, so I've some doubts about this qualifying for "retardation".

>>97832572
>with no alternative purpose offered?
I mean, the alternative is implicit but because you're a cheater who's upset at getting caught out, you're acting in bad faith.

That or you're a moron.

So in either case, I'll spell it out for you. The answer is a representational diagram. If you're playing Dungeons and Dragons specifically, this really should be a grid of 1 inch squares, since that's what the rules are based around. For other tabletop games where movement isn't as rigid and things are a bit more vague, I simple diagram consisting of a few stand in objects works, so long as everyone agrees what each object is representative of.

A couple of dice that aren't being rolled and a sheet of paper for terrain makes for a quick and easy way to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding things like relative position and what the area looks like.

But please, keep crashing out about it. You're really helping the argument that you're all seriously interested in the theater of the mind and aren't just cheating.

>>97832601
>I mean, the alternative is implicit but because you're a cheater who's upset at getting caught out, you're acting in bad faith.
...The alternative PURPOSE of WHY YOU WERE TAKING NOTES, not alternative to theater of the mind. If your reading comprehension is this bad, I can only assume you to be massively inflating your own spatial reasoning competence out of a horrendous case of the Dunning-Kreuger Effect.

Goodness. This follow-up video earnestly, unironically posits that most D&D characters are bad because they are allegedly like Superman. Supposedly, the way to make a "great" D&D character is to deliberately give them a dumped ability score at 6, then constantly attempt tasks using that score, leaning into the failure to highlight the character's flaws.

This video and the "le ebin flubbed secret checks" video seem tailor-made to appeal to the crowd who loves to watch other people play D&D and fumble.
