So I'm pretty firm that the USA is currently "evil" in the D&D sense of the word, but which evil is it? -
So I'm pretty firm that the USA is currently "evil" in the D&D sense of the word, but which evil is it?@eldritch48 now it's quite well possible that when they'll be finished subverting the previous legal system and managed to replace it with one they can follow to their goals, that one may talk about them in LE terms, but this is definitely not the case ATM.

So I'm pretty firm that the USA is currently "evil" in the D&D sense of the word, but which evil is it?@eldritch48 yeah? I read that as confirming what I'm saying, and that those in power in the USA can't be classified as LE (at least not until their replace the current laws with ones more amenable to their interest). It's questionable whether they actually adhere to a code (see: Epstein file cover up), they're actively dismantling the order and hierarchy instead of working within to to enforce their ideal (if they even have any), and they do not exploit the rules, they break them.

@dmoonfire (FWIW, I completely get where you're coming from.@dmoonfire (FWIW, I completely get where you're coming from. And of course there's a huge difference between being able to do the things one wants to do rather than or in addition to the ones one needs to do.)

So I'm pretty firm that the USA is currently "evil" in the D&D sense of the word, but which evil is it?@eldritch48 until the laws get updated to their desired shape, their behavior cannot be defined as legal, even in absence of enforcement for the old laws.
And FWIW, I disagree on your interpretation of LE: the fundamental of LE is *following the law*, but in the most ethically despicable way. So, for example, an ambiguous law that may or may not lead to discrimination will be interpreted and enforced in a discriminatory way by an LE, but in a non-discriminatory way by an LG.

The thing is that presently the USA is in a state where much of the evil is being committed outside or against the law even if by members of the government. That's not what LE is.

L'altro giorno avevo voglia di maionese.@NicholasLaney @materialgirl the illusion of choice

@oblomov right-to-left.@tess oh so it WAS what I was thinking about, LOL.

L'altro giorno avevo voglia di maionese.@materialgirl (1) tempo e (2) proprio la maionese non è semplicissima da fare _bene_, è abbastanza sensibile alle proporzioni (3) salmonella, salmonella, salmonella shalalala (OK forse non per quella vegana, ma certamente per quella con l'uovo)
P.S. il punto 3 va cantato secondo il ritornello della canzone dell'axolotl

Something came up at work today and this is an excellent place to learn something new.Italian here, can confirm although I wouldn't have put the ah at the end of the Tomb. And since the two words are basically pronounced like a single one, it sounds more like
Tom-bra-ee-dare
I *did* know that raider was pronounced more like ray-dah, so I used to say tom-bray-dah, and I was quite shocked to find out that Tomb is pronounced toom.
WTF English.

Facile menare e urlare in faccia a una bimba di tre anni scarsi in un passeggino mentre la sorellina ti urla di lasciarla stare.@lorcon @bluberrycookie comunque io ho figli e comunque l'avrei menato (1.90m per 100kg quindi mi sarebbe bastato dirgli «si dia una calmata» senza bisogno di alzare le mani —già sperimentato con altre persone abusive)

Juggling drawing a difficult comic for the Farmor Stina Kickstarter with some pure escapist tits and assI think that's a good balance@JenJen so you're drawing the hard picture between a tit and the other.

Idea for a story: Dorothy is an Oz native and gets sucked by a tornado into modern day Kansas@yuki2501 this is a pretty interesting idea, but the OG characters actually DID have brains, hearts and courage, while your proposed characters really push the envelope for the suspension of disbelief.
