You don’t have to go that far back to find a time when the rich were heavily taxed and income disparity was much smaller. Keep going back and you can find other times when the disparity was greater and the rich were taxed less.
The best outcome may require the system to be torn down, but it’s clearly also possible to tax the rich significantly more even with the system already in place.
‘we let’ women have rights? Women fought tooth and nail for years to get those rights, and assholes are still trying to claw them away; fuck, there’s places in the US right now where women are dying because their access to healthcare has been sabotaged by a supreme court that reinterpreted the constitution to remove their rights.
I was making a joke about directions; under, over, transverse; entirely unserious.
Maybe you’re under reacting.
I’m transverse reacting by mirroring your reaction.
Eh, back in 2e Polymorph worked a lot like True Polymorph does in 5e, in 3e it was called Polymorph Any Object. I think a lot of players just call it Polymorph, even though there’s a level four spell with the same name, especially if the context of the situation makes it clear which spell is being used. At least that’s how it goes at my table, but every group is different.
Only if it’s the 4th level version, which is impermanent anyway. 9th level polymorph has rules for objects: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/True Polymorph#content
True Polymorph can turn people into objects.

Then why does going faster also make it easier to balance on something without steering, like a snowboard?
My assumption is that when you’re standing still relative to the ground you can fall in many directions, but once you start moving momentum limits the directions you can fall to the ones in line with your motion. So the faster you’re moving the fewer directions you need to worry about.
A lot of asexuals who masturbate don’t do it with a sexual mindset, it’s more like an exercise to relieve stress or get a little boost of dopamine.
It would be like asking “what do people without food fetishes think about when eating?” Idk, whatever is on their mind. They might think about how good it feels, but they could also be thinking about something totally unrelated.
I knew a guy who used that exact same reasoning to play female characters. It’s funny how the way you want to look in a videogame can sort of tap into subconscious desires sometimes.
“Obviously I couldn’t dress like that IRL because of gender rules, but since I can choose my gender in this game…”
It’s sort of like The Button thought experiment.
Wasn’t the implication that if OP was larping, then any woman making that claim was not to be taken seriously?
I adore CUPS. One of the killer apps of Linux if you ask me.
+1 for Pinetab. I got a Pinetab 2 this year and I love it.
Yes, Tribes 2 rules!
Asynchronous turn based game where each person plays a single character. Like Fire Emblem if all the characters were players.
You wouldn’t all need to be playing at the same time, and you could have lots of games going at once. I want that nice slow-burn play by mail feeling for a co-op RPG.
I feel like I play one of these every time I try a competitive shooter. I am become target, bringer of points.
All I’m saying is that taxing the rich is good and necessary for as long as they exist. Sure, our current system is a disparity engine, but it’s not impossible for us to dilute the effects of it with progressive tax policies, as has been done in years past.
Personally I don’t see it as a choice of either tax the rich or abolish capitalism. I see the two goals as mutually connected to liberation and progress: tax the rich until we can replace the system with a better one.
Building coalitions around progressive policies within the current system can help shift more people into alignment with post-capitalist thinking. Fomenting divisions between socialists and progressives does the opposite; solidarity forever.
