Thread: Thoughts on Trump

Trump is a complicated issue. On the one hand, he's a hot mess and he always has been. We're just seeing it now in HD ultra smell-o-vision. But we know that he has legitimate business acumen, that he knows how to assemble a crack team to get things done, and that he's kind of a nutjob as most billionaires seem to be it's apparently part of being the 1. Now, we have all his intolerance and his bigotry, which could be an angle he's working or it could be genuine. Either way, if he oversteps in pushing some legislation that's unconstitutional see the aforementioned bigotry, the US Supreme Court will eventually strike down that law. It may take time, but the system can self-correct. On the plus side, he's a nutjob. An outright nutjob. How many of our most effective presidents effective, not politically correct and morally acceptable were total nuts? Andrew Jackson is a great example. History will remember him both as the driver of western expansion that helped turn America into a global power, and a hyper-violent genocidal douchebag. The closer you look at our greatest presidents, the more you learn that these were some real dicks in their own right. So being a giant tool doesn't mean that Trump couldn't be a great POTUS. On the contrary, I think it suggests that he might have the right stuff to be one of the greats. The really great presidents all took actions that we would never think to see in today's government. Dueling, beating men half to death with canes, threats and ultimatums, playing nuclear chicken with the Reds. And then you look at our Congress today and you see these windbags flushing the country down the toilet by blocking every piece of legislation they can, on both sides of the aisle. If we brought Andrew Jackson back as president, he would have walked into Congress during the latest budget deadlock, murdered a senator in cold blood just to show he was serious, and then ordered the doors chained shut, denying them food, water or bathrooms until they had agreed on a fair and balanced budget. In short, I think that what America needs right now is a cowboy. Hillary is just another crooked politician, so she isn't doing anything special for the country if she gets elected. Sanders has great ideas, but the GOP will stall out the votes in Congress yet again just to be dicks and Sanders will never get anything done. Trump? Trump is a wild card. He might actually get something done, the crazy fuck.

Jeufufns said radical islam is 1 darn of islam does that mean we need to block of all muslims? No In WWII most of the country if we take germany as an example was completely infected by Nazi ideology, of course we wouldn't allow entry. But 1! 1 is not something that should influence the other 99. Less than a million ISIS fighters don't have the say on tens of millions of muslims. And why does everyone hate Clinton? Literally everywhere I go it's just, Yeah I'ma vote trump instead of Clinton cause he's openly evil and Hillary hides it I literally got that fucking response once. Personally I'll vote for Sanders so I have a completely neutral opinion of Hillary and I don't understand why everyone's raging about Hillary while Trump has all the scandals and the other republicans too from time to time. Click to expand... Heya, I work over in the Middle East doing security work. I can't really say much because they monitor my internet usage, but please try to understand that it's more than just a 1 bad apples issue. The anti-America sentiment has a lot of deep roots over here, even among our allies. I've seen some shit, even among the regular general population, that makes me worry about any plans to settle large numbers of refugees. Again, I can't go into detail.
Thread: Thoughts on Trump

nutjobs are very efficient you're absolutely correct on that point. My problem is do I want nothing to be changed though technically Sanders has been working against the bigotry of the 1 which probably means he'll get shot at some point or things changed for the worse as in trump's case. Putin is supporting trump right now which I find incredibly funny. Not cause trump is everything russia hates about the west but because how Russia profits from trump being president. It'll practically force muslim countries that formerly opposed Russia due to Chechnya to side with Russia. At least that's something to celebrate....

Yeah there's many different types of 1 I figured those were the ones she was referencing. I just found the bigotry comment a little humorous.
Thread: Thoughts on Trump

I would have to say hatred for others is ingrained in their religious texts. Just like it is in most other religions. Its just that moderates do much the same as modern Christians do. They ignore the parts of their religious texts that they don't agree with.
Thread: Thoughts on Trump

Forbidden Fruit I have traveled extensively over the last few years and thanks to my job I have the chance to experience lots of different countries and cultures. And I have never seen an American flag being burned or felt any anti-american vibes anywhere I went, except from this one religion. It's members of the clergy that are spreading the hate, and within the religious context it is very institutionalized to hate America. Everyone else out there that I have met were very kind and welcoming to Americans as long as you didn't act like a typical American read big dumb animal. I've spent evenings hanging out with Russians and Iranians and Japanese and Frenchmen and ze Germanz and nobody has had any political problems with the US. Despite what the media wants you to believe, we are quite welcome around the world and Obama has actually repaired a lot of our relationships abroad, precisely through the humility and compromise for which he takes so much flack at home. So back on point, the refugee situation is still a hot mess but the possibility of zealots mixed in as infiltrators is very real. Idk if Trump is right to ban all muslims from entering. Here's a thought Is Trump the type of guy to send in ground troops? Airstrikes are very plainly not working, no matter how much ISIS is crippled they only need to put a couple guys with guns in a boat and float over to mainland Europe if they want to kill Westerners. At some point, the focus would need to switch to a ground game to get rid of these guys.

I think you're a little off in why Isis exists. It seems like you've only listened to rhetoric instead of actually studying up on the facts. Isis started under a different name in the late 80s when our foreign policy was a bit different. It has very little to do with our policies.

I'm glad that you like her! Since this is my first attempt at building a character with this system, I know there are bound to be mistakes, so please feel free to point them out.
Thread: Sengoku Diceless Character Thread

For each positive flair you must have a negative to balance it. You may not have an ability flair take you over 4 or below -1. So can not have reasoning -1 and memory-1 because that stacks to -2. You forgot to add the Influence ability. Even if you don't put points in it,you still have a 0. You must have the Focus Ki skill and come from the Buki caste to hve Ki points. Your background makes me think she is from the Bonge caste. I'll let Kaguya to buy Focukiskill anyway. Focus Ki grants 4 points t novice 8 at proficient 12 at expert These points are separate from the 4 you gt or normal abilities and flairs. You get 3 skills at proficient and two at expert. You may only lower a kill to raise another ONCE So at most Kaguya has3 expert skills and 2 proficient skills. Not 5Expert skills. So drop 2 to proficient. I'll let you have Buddhist back at novice and also give you focus ki and seduction at novice for free.
Thread: Sengoku Diceless Character Thread

Ah, I missed the bit about Flair being part of the cap on the minmax value of a Ability will fix that now. As for skills, the Sengoku book says that all characters start with Shinto and Buddhism at Novice, which may be increased as part of the process of creating characters pg 95. I assume that it means if I place one of my Proficient skills at a free Novice skill like Seduction, it would get increased to Expert, which is separated from the losing one rank in a skill to add to another skill that we can only do once. Did I misunderstand how it should work?
Thread: Sengoku Diceless Character Thread

Usually you do not add your proficient skills to your free skills to get expert skills. You are supposed to just take them at proficient and pick two other free skills. However, Sengoku specifically says 'increase free skills by normal means.' I admit this is confusing, so I'll let your skill picks stand and if anyone else picks that way it will stand.

Thread: Altering Paths of Magic [Azecreth & Zoraida]

The barrier waited for her. It rested in the back of a cottage, at the end of a small lane, some distance from the nearby farming town that served as the market for goods and products. The land was good for farming, the weather was currently pleasant, and there was nothing that one would find disagreeable. If that person didn't know about the presence of Witches and the despair that they caused, which had already succeeded in causing the deaths of several people thus far. And all those people were sorely missed. Fiorella though, she knew the truth, about the Witches that plagued the land and feasted on human grief and suffering. She knew because she was a magical girl, a special warrior granted immense powers, so that they could fight Witches and save the people who had no idea of the lurking danger in their midst. It seemed like a tireless job, having to fight all the time and without any recognition, but it was one that she was glad to do. It's okay Fio, you can do it, she said to herself, bolstering her courage in the process. She stood before the barrier with a nervous demeanor, clad in her magical girl outfit. It was green and white, flowing robes that mixed with chainmail armor on her chest for extra protection. It complimented her brown hair well, and her lean form too. She had the kind of muscles that one would expect from a person working on a farm, and she bore the scars of it too. But that didn't matter to her, not with the powers that she had. She also clung to her weapon, a lucerne hammer, with a tight grip. This was her first time fighting a Witch without Kyubey to help her out, and she was nervous about how she would do. Still, it had to be done. She had contracted to save people, to protect people, and that was what she would do. There was nothing more to it, and she couldn't simply waste the day with pointless worry. Kyubey had told her what it would do to her Soul Gem, and she was more than aware of fairies instructions. At last she worked up her nerve, her head rising in a confident nod as she stared at the barrier. Lifting her Soul Gem, she let her magic flow to force open the barrier, giving her an entrance into the maelstrom that laid beyond. With a path cleared, she took the plunge, entering the Witches Barrier. Time to do her job.
Thread: Altering Paths of Magic [Azecreth & Zoraida]

Dionisia was not about to interrupt on the new charge and her witch hunting, not unless something were to go horribly wrong. Perhaps Kyubey had warned her about helping out others but in all honesty, compassion was her greatest flaw. The blonde peasant girl looked on in her usual, patchy clothes that paled in comparison to the beauty that was the garb she would don when she went to fight the forces against them. Dionisia wasn't all too much to look at without her powers and perhaps that was for the best due to the fact that her Magical Girl outfit was various shades of violet with black draped upon her akin to a cultist robe but with more flare and shorter to show off the lacy skirt underneath. She stood out, and in this time frame that wasn't a good thing. Her dull grey eyes looked on with a sense of duty but also an attempt at restraint. Gwyndolyn. I believe the witch's name was. She muttered softly as she watched Fiorella with great interest. Please don't do anything stupid, girl... you have such life in your eyes... Considering the area... it must be a despair witch feeding off of those feeling trapped within this sort of life... nothing violent, just a pitiful end to a sad existence for someone who doesn't feel purpose in their life, Dionisia mumbled to herself. She had gotten used to talking to herself, after all, nobody else was listening so what was the point in holding her tongue when she was the only prying ear at the time? She eventually shook away her thoughts, trying to keep track of everything she could. The girl, the witch, the townsfolk that would likely burn her if they see the fantastic feats she would inevitably be able to perform. Through observance it was easy to see that she would easily be able to defeat the witch with a good shot from her crossbow but this wasn't about her. She had gone on a previous hunt keeping her Soul Gem in pristine condition. Dionisia stayed not just to keep a protective eye on Fiorella but also lingered with a vague hope that perhaps, what she might find in this girl, was a friend.
Thread: Altering Paths of Magic [Azecreth & Zoraida]

Fiorella glanced back at Dionisia as she entered the barrier, winding up in what looked like some sort of maze made of thatch and wheat. She was glad for the presence of the more experienced magical girl, there to make sure that nothing happened to her while she took on he Witch that dwelt within this barrier. Undoubtedly she could have managed it herself, but it just provided some reassurance. She wasn't terribly confident in herself yet, and was more than aware that things might go wrong. If they did, Dionisia would be there to help out. It was interesting enough that they had met, if she were to be honest. It had been thanks to Kyubey, the fairy introducing her to the senior magical girl in the area in order to avoid conflict. The fact that Dionisia also stumbled on her while she was fumbling about in her attempts at Witch hunting also helped, especially since she had turned out to not be hostile. Indeed she had been more than willing to assist her once the situation had been explained, and Fiorella was grateful for it. She led the way carefully, racing past the familiars as she held her Lucerne Hammer in a ready grip. The maze was difficult to deal with, but thanks to her ability to sense the Witch she managed to deal with it in time, running through the various twists and turns that made up the maze itself, until at last she arrived at the center of the Barrier, in the center of the maze, as opposed to the nonexistent entrance or exit. At last she arrived, coming to a stop as she viewed the Witch waiting for her. It was strange, almost like a scarecrow except bound in chains and wielding farming tools. She glanced over at Dionisia to make sure that she was watching before she charged in, with Lucerne Hammer swinging as she neared her foe. She would beat this thing, one way or another. There was no other choice.
Thread: Protective Instinct (KatherineMinoa & Kilaar33)

A glance through the picture windows of Sam's Deli might not have picked out the couple sitting at the far-right table for two, their usual table. But a second look would afford the viewer a glimpse of a lovely young woman with long, chestnut-colored hair, olive skin, and sparkling hazel eyes, and a man a few years her senior whose dark black hair and bright blue eyes were a stark contrast to his lunch companion. The duo was at ease, the man listening in rapt attention to the woman, and both completely enthralled by the conversation. So, after Mr. Danvers--Mike--finished his meeting with the boss, he came over to my cubical, Sophia Capitani said, her musical voice hurrying in excitement. We talked for a few minutes, and he asked me out again for this Friday. And our date last weekend was... Pausing, the young woman took a bite of her turkey and swiss on rye, closing her eyes as she tasted the subtle flavors in her sandwich. She licked her lips then opened her eyes again, smiling at her best friend, and continued, ...exciting, romantic, exhilarating. She looked at her friend, noting his discomfort at the description, and grinned, dimpling. He took me sky diving. Sophia burst into laughter as Brack's expression relaxed, and she stretched a hand across the table to pat his hand. Sorry for making you uncomfortable. It was just too easy. She winked and resumed eating her lunch. So, it's your wedding anniversary soon, she said. Do you have a gift picked out?
Thread: Protective Instinct (KatherineMinoa & Kilaar33)

Braxton -- Brack to anyone that wasn't a stranger reading his name off a piece of paper -- often fancied himself the sort of guy who stuck out like a sore thumb anytime he accompanied someone like Sophia. She was a perfectly typical and sociable young woman. She was immensely attractive. He, meanwhile, begrudgingly wore a white long-sleeved dress shirt and black slacks with all the dapper charm that anyone might expect of a software engineer. Short black locks were a stylish mesh about his head whilst trimmed but elongated sideburns framed a fair-skinned face whose icy blues were perfectly content to listen to this woman talk. Brack wasn't in love with Sophia, but she was a reprieve. Life at home these days wasn't wonderful. It wasn't miserable either. Much like work, it had become an exercise in thoughtless and emotionless futility. His friend injected a delightful -- if sometimes uncomfortable -- level of unpredictability into the routine. That said, he listened and even nodded without ever letting eye contact divert, yet she wasn't oblivious to the subtler signs of discomfort as she described her romantic weekend. Brack gave a moment's pause when Sophia trailed off only to laugh, but he stopped short of staring her down. Rather, he gave a glance away, feigning a sudden distraction as a bicycle rode past the large plate glass window visible in his peripheral vision. In reality, he was trying to figure out how to convey to someone that he wasn't being a creeper or protective, but her new boyfriend was the Antichrist. It was irrational, unfair, and completely cynical, but Brack was good at reading people. Over the years, he had come to appreciate his own ability to size people up fairly appropriately. Michael Danvers was an indisputable scumbag whose tenure with the company wouldn't likely extend any further than the two collective years he'd spent at his previous three jobs. Strange, Brack thought, that someone would move around the country that often. The remarks about his anniversary prompted a sudden jolt back into reality, and immediately the man pulled back. With corrected posture and an exaggerated grimace, both his shoulders lifted simultaneously in a halfhearted shrug. I'm apparently supposed to buy something made out of leather, he posed with purposefully exaggerated seriousness. It's harder than it sounds.
Thread: Protective Instinct (KatherineMinoa & Kilaar33)

Sophia blushed beet red in response to her friend's innocent answer. Leather. Good grief, she really needed to stop listening to the water cooler gossip when the hens in PR started cackling about that 50 Shades of Crap movie. She dipped her head and sipped her lemon-infused water, making sure she had herself under control before replying. Hmm...leather gifts, she murmured, sifting her mind for something innocent and loving as opposed to kinky and completely none of her business when it came to her friend's marriage. How about a nice journal or a purse? Oh! A friend of mine from college makes jewelry, and she just introduced a leather line. Let me send you a link to her Web site. Sophia's fingers flew over her phone's keyboard, and soon a text with a hyperlinked URL popped up on Brack's phone screen. There are some really nice pieces on the site, and her prices are reasonable. Sophia smiled, leaning back in her seat, studying her friend. Something wasn't right. He was quieter than usual. Sure, he wasn't always the most social person, but this was ridiculous, even for him. And if there was one thing that she knew, it was when something was bothering her best friend. Nudging his foot with the toe of her shoe, she teased, Okay, Heathcliff, what's with the brooding? Spill it. Tell me what's bothering you.
