Enjoy what’s left of the rule of law while you can. Soon enough, any lawsuit by a Republican elite will sail to a win.
She slept her way to the middle.
I feel like the middle is quite an achievement for someone like her.
bill maher is maga now, why is she suing her own "grifters; friends.
Oh, you don’t remember how she was attacking Charlie Kirk until roughly 30 minutes after he bled out from his “finding out” phase. Then suddenly she was tearfully mourning her lost maga love.
told by her handlers ti stop with the attack likely.
Ugh, I’ve always hated the two axis alignment system ever since I actually played a real game of tabletop instead of the baldur’s gate / icewind dale stuff. Still, it is humorous how well it matches the lovely repugnants.
You can tear AD&D2e rules out my cold, dead hands 😆
Tbf, the reworked versions are better.
I’m CN, btw.
Clinging to THAC0
I’m CN
I’m sure you are.
Same, but I’m really just stubborn and spent too many years playing AD&D2 and creating PC games that used those rules.
“Evil” is just a shitty term and/or axis.
Everyone is the hero of their own story. Almost nobody thinks of themselves as evil. Often the most evil acts are the ones done by people who have convinced themselves that what they’re doing is for the best. Take the Great Leap Forward in China or other similar disasters. Tens of millions of people dying because the leader thought they had identified the true problem.
I’d much prefer a “selfishness” or “size of group that matters” axis. On one side of that axis you’d have tree-hugging environmentalists who think every life matters and are willing to make personal sacrifices to make a better world for people they’ve never met and never will meet. On the other side you’d have selfish people who want what’s best for themselves and are willing to make their close family members suffer if they personally can benefit. Somewhere in the middle are people like NIMBYs who agree access to affordable housing is important, but don’t want a tall building going up in their neighbourhood because it will ruin its character.
This can also lead to “dark paladins” that make sense. Instead of an evil paladin crusading on behalf of evil, you get a very selfless paladin who is willing to put his life on the line for a cause he believes in. It’s just that that cause conflicts with the belief system of the adventurer’s party.
That’s just what good and evil are, though?
Like, Good is you’re willing to sacrifice some of you’re for the benefits of others, Evil is you’re willing to sacrifice some of others’ for benefits of yourself?
Evil people only don’t think of themselves as evil because they have internalized that “evil” is a bad thing. But that what makes you evil, they often even openly admit to.
No, evil is wanting to hurt other people as a goal in itself. That doesn’t really exist much in reality.
In reality, most people who do things that hurt other people are doing it to help themselves, or to help their family, or to help their community, or to help their company or to help their country. They aren’t deliberately hurting other people for the joy of seeing that pain. Instead they ignore what happens to the wider group while focusing on the narrower group they care about.
For example, I would consider the executives at tobacco companies to be evil. Their product hurts lots of people. But, they’re not people who sit in an office decorated with skulls, cackling to themselves about how many people have died from smoking. Instead they’ve managed to convince themselves that they’re doing things that are beneficial to shareholders, and that help tobacco farmers, and so on.
Then you are excusing everybody who is evil.
Even your tobacco executives don’t want to hurt people as a goal in itself. They just want to make money, and are willing to hurt others for their own benefit.
I like it, but my personal grudge has always been with the lawful/neutral/chaotic axis. Bloody people playing chaotic characters think that means they can justify doing whatever the player feels like by, quite literally, just saying, “well he’s chaotic!”
The arguments about whether someone is evil or not are more common, I suppose, when you get to levels where the spells that target alignments come into play.
Yeah, chaotic is a bad name for it.
To be fair, maybe a fae creature is truly chaotic. They might act in ways that seem insane to other people. But, other than fae creatures, it should really be a matter of believing in hierarchies and deferring to people above you in the hierarchy, or having your own moral code that you follow even if it conflicts with the laws or your orders. A paladin should be a rule follower. A rogue should normally be someone who lives by their own rules. But, they’re not really “chaotic”.
Right, the problem is that the lawful/chaotic thing is cribbed from elric of melnibonea (am I spelling that right? It’s been a while) where the concepts of law and chaos were actual big things in the world (and like most novels, the things that players get up to don’t factor in as far as the story and ‘world rules’ are going to be). I think there was something similar in the renshai books, where chaos and law were a part of the story in an interesting ‘world’ sort of way, and not a factor as much in what a person in the world is.
What makes you think assholes aren’t going to be assholes to other assholes? It’s kinda their brand.
These friends are worse than enemies.
always has been.gif
Wait, so are the things we suspected true?
Well, which things? Also, probably yes.
That they were fucking.
He did NOT have sexual relations with this woman. She only gave him blowjobs.
Fucking what? True? Yes he said they’re probably fucking true, fuck
Not that we didn’t know he was nasty, but can you imagine letting that plastic space alien face anywhere near your genitals? Holy shit.
I gotta think she’s getting the worse end of the deal here. I can’t imagine the dude who regularly shits himself has a great deal of personal hygiene.
Yeah this just feels like a really apt metaphor for hell. For both of them. The constant pursuit of power and wealth and what do you get to show for it? A woman who looks way worse and no happier after lots of plastic surgery going down on a man whose mind has been consumed by anger and can’t control his bowels.
He’s got the kind of attitude of “if you can’t see it, it doesn’t need to be cleaned”
And he hasn’t seen anything south of his belly button for decades now.
I would wonder… I know plenty of very nasty individuals who were, by all guesstimates, still engaging in sexual activities. There is an incredible ability of humans to do nasty things for later reward.
Either she made ‘cleaning’ part of the pre-warm up phase, or the whole ‘disgust sense is lowered when sexually aroused’ thing kicked in AND she was just imagining the dollar signs to get her over the hump. Perhaps both. Add in some drugs and I’m sure she could get herself to a place where it was possible.
She actually looked like a normal, good looking human before the mar-a-lago plastic treatment she got. He likes the alien look, it reflects how inhuman he himself is.
She has the Purge mask look now.
True. Stormy Daniels looks like a human that went to a plastic surgeon and said “I want to look like a blow-up doll.”
For me, it’s the opposite that’s horrific.
The thought of anyone having their face that close to Donald’s naked 80 year-old body. Barf.
But he’s a dog and we know he isn’t fucking Melania, so it only makes sense. It’s not like she brings anything else to the Administration other than being a concubine.
On second thought, she probably has to dig for his peepee. Dude is seriously corpulent.
Starting to get that Men In Black alien in a human suit look to him.
That is a good analogy.
Dig for his peepee. Like a button on a fur coat.
It’s like a baby bird in a dirty nest!
He’s an awful person and not particularly handsome, but (other than the makeup) he’s not notably less attractive than other 80 year old men. I feel bad when I see people being grossed out by old folks. That’ll be you someday, too!
These two definitely deserve each other.
No, I think American public lost harder
I mean, that has nothing to do with why she lost, and wasn’t part of the case, but for those wondering, yes if appears to be true he said that, though the source seems to be a substack author.
She bragged to her dad?!
That’s the weirdest part of the whole thing. I’m not shocked she was blowing Trump. But Jesus, I hated telling my dad when I was pregnant even though I was married, because it meant admitting to him that I had sex.
I wonder if it was less ‘bragging’ and more ‘throwing it in his face.’ I can’t imagine most people in those circles having good relationships with family.
I found this very curious also.
I didn’t need those images in my head.
Speak for yourself!

Is Lara Loomer a transgender person? Horrible surgery. Just… why?
Cis people are just as capable of picking a bad facial surgeon as we are
In defense of Laura Loomer’s plastic surgery choices, it’s very easy to see plastic surgery that worked well on other people and think that it will translate from one face to another.
A great example of this is the skeleton look all the Hollywood girls had over the past year or so. It wasn’t just Ozempic. It was Buccal Fat Removal. And it all started because Bella Hadid did it and she looked phenomenal after doing it. Whoever Bella Hadid paid did an incredible job, and Bella Hadid was already stunning, but between her obvious but very well done nose job (that looked tiny and slightly otherworldly) and the weird bony cheeks from the buccal fat removal, she ended up looking so bizarre and fascinating, and she became even more in demand. All the girls in Hollywood copied her, and it looked terrible on all of them because they had less symmetrical cheekbones and didn’t have the face shape for it to work. Miley Cyrus, who is awesome and very cute, got buccal fat removal and it looked terrible because she never had symmetrical cheekbones and the facial length or depth for it to work. (She may have corrected it or her face settled; it looks better now.)
Laura Loomer just made some plastic surgery mistakes that would be easy for anyone to make. So I get why Laura Loomer got a nose job. Her nose before was slightly off. The problem is that slightly off noses often balance out face with slightly off bone structure, so if you just do a nice looking nose, but it doesn’t match the other geometry, it looks off. Laura Loomer also looks like she got cheekbone implants and it’s very easy to want those because a lot of beautiful people have huge prominent cheekbones. The problem is that if someone has some asymmetry in their face, large cheekbones may draw attention to it. Laura Loomer looked nice before the plastic surgery with some mild symmetry issues that were somewhat normal. The problem is the cheekbones and nose job didn’t fit or blend or balance her face right. Her plastic surgeon should have told her not to do the cheek implants based on her orbital sockets and should have only done the rhinoplasty in a milder way. She looked fine before and this was not her fault; she got bad advice from her plastic surgeon.
It’s also not her fault for not redoing all of this. Revision rhinoplasties and taking out cheekbones are much more complicated. A lot more can go wrong and many people, after having plastic surgery once and it not going well, are reluctant to get more work done and possibly mess things up even more. Revision surgeries are also notoriously expensive, much more expensive than the initial plastic surgery.
The point is, this isn’t exactly her fault. She probably was slightly insecure, single at the time and frustrated about it, and decided to have plastic surgery, and saw a doctor who took advantage of her financially and didn’t do a great job. That’s the reality. This likely wasn’t many plastic surgeries over many years. It was really just one thing (or possibly also lip injections later which so many people do), and the cheekbone implants are what messed it up. If she took those out she would likely look like herself again and she’s probably concerned about the expense and real risks and pain of doing it. And major plastic surgery is painful. It’s understandable for her to not want to change it and just decide “well it is how it is.”
I disagree with many of Laura Loomer’s beliefs, but making fun of someone for looking a certain way, or getting plastic surgery, also makes other people who look slightly different feel more self conscious. Asking is Laura Loomer a transgender person probably makes some trans people feel self conscious. What about criticizing politicians for their horrible beliefs and not how they look? What about taking the higher road?
