my guess is that the 4.7% of missourians saying no are all in the ozarks/boot heel

I agree with another commenter that this not something that people consciously think about when they do it. I think the main thing you’re touching on is groupthink. This is the reason that groups of people behave differently than you’d expect individual people to.

Positions of leadership (and therefore power) as an institution are traits passed down to us from Feudalists who organized society in hierarchies. I would say groupthink allows these kinds of social structure to continue long past the point that people realize there a better ways because they assume other members of the group are okay with them.

That’s all not to mention the fact that some people are genuinely skilled leaders or that people in positions of leadership are going to have a bigger influence in what is accepted in the group.

He could introduce a plan to reform the courts, but it would ultimately have to go through Congress.

if i had a nickel for every casualty of war that had nothing to do with said war, i’d have 50 million nickels.

passive suicidal ideation. it’s on the lower end of the spectrum of ideation, but still something to talk to someone about if you can.

honestly idk why they’d be pissed. part 3 is way too long and the first half is basically just a monster of the week format. it’s one of the weaker parts as far as pacing is concerned.

the thing with jjba is that each part gets better than the last.

valid, but you’re missing out on some of the greatest fantasy worldbuilding of all time. check out the live action or the manga if you aren’t outright opposed to those.

for anyone who read through the summary, the full article is worth the read.

You’ve definitely got more than enough to get started. Only thing I would recommend here is read through the adventure if you haven’t already. Also don’t be scared to improvise if the situation calls for you. You decide the rules you want at the table, not the books. As long as you stay consistent feel free to make any ruling you like if it works for your table.

going out of business after being established 140 years ago and they’re calling that failure. some people just can’t pat themselves on the back huh

America’s pearl clutching around all sexual topics is so insane to me. 13 year olds are gonna think about their genitals and who they’re attracted to, so why is it that we have to treat the idea of sexuality as taboo? God forbid adolescents don’t feel shame for completely normal feelings

I swear I originally replied to some guy saying this was propaganda, but the comment is gone now

bakeries being hot doesn’t make sense?

I browse all and I would say there’s more content now than when I joined. It’s much easier to find content where actual discussion is happening too

I doubt this was used for legitimate bear hunting personally. Seems more for show than for something functional

The chart in the article doesn’t specify a generation, so I seriously doubt it’ll come out on Playstation at all if plans don’t change

PopSci is tricky because on one hand, it’s great that there’s a lot of interest in learning about science and it should be promoted, but on the other, the vast majority of research is so complex that you literally cannot explain it to the layman without making it wrong in some way.

I believe that the massive scale of corruption that exists within the capitalist system necessitates rebuilding from the ground up. Part of the solution is going to be intentional communities (I hope anyway) where we’re building communities with the intention of solving some of these large scale problems (scarcity, pollution, racial injustice, etc) in the community. There’s a collection of already existing communities on ic.org where you can find resources on how to build a community or where to find them. There’s every flavor of community whether you’re looking for a commune, a spiritual community, an eco-friendly community, permaculture, etc.
