I'm... Mixed on this. I feel like what Dungeon World (1e now?) has going for it, and what has extended its longevity, is the community around it that has contributed so much due to the open nature of the product. Will this be just as open?
Plus, Chasing Adventure fills that really cool niche of a 2e. So does Stonetop. How will this improve on either of those?
Because arbitrary lines in a desert ought not invalidate peoples freedom?
Because there is no valid metric other than skin color to initially round all these people up and put them in camps where we can concentrate on if they are actually supposed to be here or not?
Because some of those people put in camps where we can concentrate on whether they are supposed to be here or not will be American citizens deprived of their rights based on their skin color?
Because trains will run 24-7 for 5+ years to deport 15+ million people?
Because a subset of the population is convinced central America = Mexico and we can just dump them in Mexico?
Because just that transportation alone will cost over half our GDP even before we get in to detention and feeding, investigation and appeals processes?
Because if we don't do the above then we are denying people the right of due process, and what does that say about us as a society?
Because most people are here illegally because of expired visas, so they can just reapply anyway?
Because in 2022 undocumented immigrants paid 96.7 billion dollars in taxes, and the right wants to just do away with that and God forbid someone making millions has to pay a little extra?
Because it's a buzz word used by the right so people can be openly racist when there is zero plan in place because then they lose their wedge issue?
Because this zero-plan maneuver will decimate our economy, just so a certain subset of the population can feel that their skin color wins because Jesus said so or something?

Actually yes lol I do DDP Yoga
Usually less than 100g a day for protein. I stay as far away from oxalates as possible I would be surprised if I have 10mg/day. I know 40mg/day is considered low oxalate.
I have gotten kidney stones frequently since 2006
Cut out tea, nuts, potatoes, chocolate, whole grains, carrots, spinach, and everything else. Keep my sodium around 1500mg/day
I still form them prolifically
I had a 2cm stone back in March that they tried blasting and ended up getting chunks of the stone stuck between the stent and the wall of my ureter. After keeping the stent in for 3 months my urologist gave up and another one picked me up. When he went in to laser the stones, he had to laser chunks that had adhered to the stent before he could get it out
They shockwaved my other side last month and got the newer stent out and had my follow up today and there's two more little ones on the left side already forming up
Next step is an endocrinologist

I get great entertainment from reading/trolling right wing conspiracy boards. I would point out frequently that Wilbur Ross worked for the Rothschilds, their one world government enemies for years, the ones responsible for 9-11, the ultimate Illuminati Powers That Be, according to Alex Jones and his ilk. By their own rationale, Trump must be a Rothschild pawn.
They are fine with that now, I guess.

I think it's hilarious because there is a good segment of the population that grew up in the 90s whose parents would be like... "George Michael is 'weird'... Melissa Etheridge is 'weird'"
So now, their euphemism for a non-heterosexual person has been turned around on them and that's great. Their hate and non-acceptance is now what is "weird"
I do outside sales in Ohio and I'm on the road a lot
The amount of people who have Trump / Pence signs and have put white tape over the P and E to make a V and A is ... Surreal. Like why do you still have signs from an election 8 years ago? Their house is probably full of cats and hoard and bugs. Can't wait to get updated signs?
We did do the right thing in most of the special elections these last twelve months, though
Two chances. Two of them to spell altar the right way!

The current GOP is still entrenched in their Southern Strategy. To quote Lee Atwater:
This plus fundamentalist Christianity is the basis of the modern GOP playbook, only now it's Latinos that are the target, at least moreso than blacks
Sure we can't distill it down to just racism since the GOP has become so entrenched with the religious right, so let's just call it Christofascist Racism, but let's not ignore 60 years of Republican racism and bullshit
Edit: Lemmy blocks the n-word even when it's a direct quote, but Atwater was using that derogatory term for blacks in the above quote
