While the subject is connected to your game, you're not really asking about your game you're asking about some culture war shit that has nothing to do with D&D. Please leave this type of conversation out of this community.

Beandog is a single word.

I saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I'm now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.

Should we examine our consciences and outlaw women’s healthcare in case people like this take offense and start a civil war?

This seems like a super confused take. Are you saying that killing healthcare CEOs shouldn't be illegal?!

C'mon man, sure you can use a specific semantic definition of "political" to make your point, but in the real world politics bleeds into almost everything.

The healthcare system in the US is incredibly political, through direct government policy but also the government's influence on capitalist systems that drive profit over people.

But also, the people who "cheered" Luigi's actions are generally seen as left aligned politically, its viewed in the broader context of anti-capitalism. So if right wingers see what they believe to be leftists assassinating capitalists, many of them are going to view it as a political act. It doesn't matter that you don't agree with their assessment, and it doesn't matter what Luigi's original intent was, if that's how they see it.

If it is perceived as political by a faction, then it is political.

FYI, saying "full stop" out loud doesn't automatically make a statement true.

I don't think you understand OP's point. They aren't saying that the motivations are equally valid, they are saying that political violence of any kind will always escalate into further and wider violence.

Wasn't aware of this, looks interesting.

 

Soaring atmospheric industrial noise and beats over gothy vocals, creating a unique, epic soundscape. One of my favourite albums in recent years.

 

My favourite Limmy ever.

Looking for some help identifying a flying insect. They are black and red flying bugs about the size of a largish wasp and have a very long, distinct "stinger" on their ass, but I don't think it's actually used to sting. I see them almost exclusively on the lawn where they are constantly flitting around, landing then taking off again after a few seconds.

Sorry I couldn't get a decent photo of them.

I've always called them Grass Wasps but I don't know if that's a name I made up (searching for that term doesn't find them). I'm pretty sure they're not actual wasps.

I'm just trying to find their actual name to look up some information on them. I'm used to seeing them around but the last couple of months their numbers have been steadily increasing in my yard to the extent where there's basically a swarm of them permanently around. They don't really do anything problematic but I was curious why they seem so populous at the moment (I assume its just the jungle weather we've been having) and if they might cause any issues in large numbers.
