I like to build characters that will be strong and have a unique playstyle. There's a number of different paths for this. My first concept might be something like Single Classed Fighter, focused on being the best 1v1 swordsman. As such I'd take Dual Wielder, Defensive Duelist and Skulker...

Right, but you did argue that Magic Initiate was an S tier feat, etc. The key difference for me is the lack of concentration for command.

I'm unsure whether you are saying you didn't argue that or that you did but this specific scenario is different.

IMO. Calling a point 'whataboutism' instead of discussing why the point isn't relevant is obfuscation.

Par for course

IMO. There’s a simpler way. Use the best information you have available while always remaining a bit skeptical so you stay open to new information.

Yea we have the if possible as well, but I guess people don’t trust the police to agree with them on what was possible.

Where I live they passed that law where your supposed to change lanes for someone else being traffic stopped. What this does to traffic here is more egregious than any left lane lane camper I’ve witnessed. It’s not so much that it’s a bad idea, but making it illegal causes people to do it when...

I assume change of lights = flash their lights. If so then only if they flash their lights or tailgate you?

And if you don’t trust the NGO’s to fairly define and apply the labels? Say they define the label qualifications in such a way as to eliminate competition from their preferred businesses by tailoring the label so their preferred business can use it while placing restrictions on it so many of...

Personally I’m skeptical of external controls as well. They are typically an improvement to the wild Wild West but can also be used to corner a particular label or to relegate the label as nearly meaningless while giving it some faux credibility when such external controls exist.

I think 99% of what gets labeled whataboutism is done either unintentionally or intentionally to not engage with whatever inconsistency is obviously being called out. That said calling out inconsistency is probably the poorest form of persuasion but if the premises for the discussion aren’t...

I remember when personal computers were a fad and a bubble. Now everyone has one in their hand. I remember the dot com bubble bursting, but we are 10000% more online now than we ever were then. I don’t think ai is a bubble, but I do think it is overhyped like most any new technology. ‘block...

I just think some people are much more morally bothered by hypocrisy than others.

I have a common problem. I’m driving about 5 over in the left lane. I’m moving faster than most traffic in the right lane someone gets behind me a bit close. When there’s a decent gap on the right I get over only to find they want to go about 1/2 a mph faster than me and by the time the gap ends...

If they don’t tailgate you do you ever get out of their way?

What happens if you were passing then they sped up to match you. Not an uncommon thing to witness.

Bless can certainly do nothing for the entire encounter. Giving a +1d4 bonus that doesn’t ever change anything is nothing.

I used to think it was a good spell and maybe in 2014 it was due to -5/+10 and much less accuracy/advantage than now, but I no longer think it is in 2024. I’d rate it a C at most for levels 1-10. I mean there’s a reason practically no Paladin typically uses bless. It’s because attack action...

Wasn’t it just a few pages back that you argued that wizards get command/etc easily? If so I think you just justify your point however you can at the time without really considering the points you’ve made in adjacent topics recently.
