Today is the anniversary of the Kent State shootings, or more appropriately the "May 4th Massacre". In the wake of recent events and our consideration of gun control laws I think this day deserves a great deal of reflection. Four Americans were murdered, and nine more wounded, by our own national guard simply for participating in an anti-war demonstration. If we want to consider limiting access to guns on american soil lets start with our own national guard and police, not our citizens. The last thing I want to see is an unarmed populace needing to deal with a well-armed police and military force. Lets focus on securing the rights of the citizen, not giving them up
Counterpoint; maybe #police would never have been able to justify being so heavily armed in the first place, if it wasn't EASIER to get a #Gun in the #USA than to get a #Degree, a #Home, or a #Job.
The "defence against tyranny" #rhetoric LOST ANY and ALL water it may have held once the #NRA got in bed with the most tyrannical #President elected to date.
The New York Times is not an unbiased fount of information, but a sophisticated ideological weapon. Our goal is to unmask the Times and expose the paper for what it is: a tool of empire encased in a liberal veneer.
I want to say this is the fault of the original #40K#creators, being young, edgy, metal loving British men who thought things "happy endings are for girls," or "the Grim dark future is serious."
I WANT to, but I CAN'T. Because at the same time #Warhammer DID have a sense of humor, and it did have a sense of fun.
I'd swear to god if I wasn't an atheist, but "the #WarhammerCommunity" used to be different. At least until the middle to late #2000s, when many of "the old guard" started leaving.
No argument on Andy Chambers, but I disagree on the #Necrons with extreme prejudice. #ThirdEdition Necrons were the ONLY good version of Necrons.
1: They were simple. A Wraith was a Wraith, Scarabs were Scarabs and a Lord was a Lord. No "canoptek this," "hexmark that," just because some stock bro got a bee in his bonnet over #intelllectualproperty.
2: Necrons were cooler as unknowable ancients enslaved to cosmic horrors instead of Tomb Kings in space. Infinitely cooler.
The #GM would be me. I have no experience with #WHFRP and my last experience as GM was a #Vampire#Chronicle that went down in flames before my old gamer club closed (more than a decade ago)
A top advisor to Zelensky states that Elon Musk's decision to assist Russia by disabling Starlink for the Ukrainians led to the deaths of civilians, including children.
I get frustrated every time someone says Mastodon is dead and don't belive me when I state otherwise. It's like talking about global warming. #Mastodon
