Random rant: A "paradox" is a logical impossibility. It is a contradiction. A concept or concepts that are oppositional to themselves.

A paradox is not just any random thing you didn't expect. It is not something you don't like. Its not just something that is ironic in the literal sense, or in the Alanis Morrisette sense.

I swear 95% or the time I see someone calling something a "paradox" on the internet, the appropriate response is "That's not a paradox, you're just stupid".

Seems like the collective mind vocabulary is slipping. Like how many people now use the word heroic when they are in fact talking about superheroic actions.

I watched some seagulls flying between a real paradox looking for food to steal a few days ago.

, which 30 seconds of research would have told them that considering Paizo made that a part of their pitch for the game when it was announced and they began promoting it.

This has been baffling me ever since my teenage first encounters with various fandoms. “Hi, I spent a bunch of money in this thing, can anybody tell me about it?” I was raised to ask that question before the spending part. Is it just that I never had huge quantities of free spending money? Did my parents raise a brood of unsuspected super geniuses? Beats me.

I've written and deleted this post a couple times, I don't want to be too mean (Though it's not like they can read this)

Some time ago I got really irritated at someone and had to use the 2-way ignore function for the first time. I know opinions can't be wrong, but it grinds my gears when someone says some nonsense and triples down despite having nothing to back it up. I disengaged but kept watching against better judgement.

I really do like these forums. I've been here for three years and don't interact too much but I suppose it had to happen at some point.
