A lot of people in the US argue that the poor don’t deserve anything, any lack of money is a moral failing, and they don’t deserve any kind of help.

A bit of a reduction. It's not that being poor is a moral failing, but there is a mindset that if you don't have a job, it's your fault, and that if you have a job but are still poor, you're probably wasting money on drugs or something. It's not so much "they're poor because they're a bad person so I shouldn't help them" as "if I help them then they won't help themselves." Which is an easy position to hold if you don't consider how little the low-hanging jobs can pay, how much rent costs, how much food costs when you can't home-cook it, and how hard it is to get a job when you don't have a number, address, shower, or clean clothes.

And then there's a second group that thinks "Well, we have systems in place. There are homeless shelters somewhere, so they should be going there instead of begging on the streets." And they can be right, but you should probably do some research on said homeless shelters before you take that stance, in case it's too far away to walk, understaffed/underfunded, or poorly managed.

It's easy to think the poor don't need your help if you don't think on it too much, and to be fair, not everyone has the bandwidth and energy to be thinking on that. But at the end of the day, we have poor people, so those with means should be doing what they can to help.

Reaching that second field of hogs under the conversation felt kind of ominous.

I've seen this one before, but the alt text had me in a (silent) laughing fit anyways.

I agree with you, but I'm obligated to downvote.

What app is this that justifies the text with hyphens? Is it in a fixed-width display, or does it detect syllables automatically?

Guns have really improved since the year 131.

I wouldn't say nothing. After stopping the Flag Smashers, they went to the GRC and told them not to be so mean to the refugees. But they didn't really address the world borders thing or anything (as far as I remember,) so I guess this counts.

I couldn't find a good character sheet that's fully customizable without digging into complex formulas and reference tables, so I made my own. Feel free to use it or give feedback.

Well, test as much as you like! I have no authority over you.

But I will observe and possibly meddle if I don't forget. Mark my words!

 

There have been quite a few comments and posts arguing about political memes and whether they belong here. I'm not exactly in any position of authority, but hopefully I can do something about this.

Which option do y'all think is best?

  1. People who want to post political memes do so in !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca instead.
  2. People who don't want to see political memes subscribe to !memes@sopuli.xyz instead, which doesn't allow politics.
  3. Nothing changes.

I'm not asking for a rule to be made, I'm just asking for the general consensus. I'm hoping that this will help to raise awareness of those other communities, so that if people favor option 1, more political meme posters can move there, and if people favor option 2, more people who don't want politics can move there. And then I can also know whether to keep watching this community or move.

(Please don't downvote this post for complaining about political memes, because if it gets seen, it tells the complainers where they can go to avoid political memes, and then they'll be out of your hair.)

 

Howdy all! Some of my friends and I have been doing some planning for a Sonic themed platform fighter. We're still in the planning phase, because I want to make sure I can form a team before moving forward with development.

That said, if it interests you, why don't you come join our Discord server? We can discuss plans, and perhaps you could even join our team. We're particularly looking for people who can help make the animations. We have one guy for that already, but many hands make light work.

I'm planning on taking care of the programming, by the way.

Click to join the Discord.

 

I was looking around to see if there were any good Sonic fangames in the platform fighter genre, a la Super Smash Bros. I found a few traditional fighters, but I much prefer the simpler controls of platform fighters.

Anyone know of any they can recommend? If not, I might look into making my own. Not sure yet.

I just stumbled on this the other day. Has anyone here ever used them? Whether you have or not, what do you think of them?

 

Spoiler - Doc season 9 episode 54When I saw he was playing with dragon eggs, I though he was going to do something simple, like make a contraption that repeatedly drops an egg to softlock Grian, so he'd have to get someone else to help him remove it.

But I guess things are never going to be so small-scale with Doc. I'm really looking forward to see how the others react.

Remember: Don't do this to your friends (unless they have a Grian skin,) and always have backup gear in case of an accident.

 

I'm a bit of a forever GM, so I can't share for myself here, but what kinds of characters are you guys playing?

 

I saw there were already 2e communities, so I figured I might as well make this one too. Say hi while you're here.

If any mods from the Pathfinder_RPG subreddit wanna be mod here, just let me know. I will, of course, want to verify your identity via message on Reddit first.
