Misogyny isn't just a man thing! Women participate it in (against the "bad" ones) all the time.

I wonder if the title reads better in japanese

Yeah, and if a conviction is based almost entirely on interrogation, be suspicious. Maybe torture doesn't get useful facts, but it does get false confessions.

The "keep the prep time short" rule is interesting. Since my in person dm is mostly interested in building sets - that's a huge reason he enjoys running games - we so try to keep on course when we know he's like deliberately made an enormous swamp or something.

2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.

How do you propose we go about changing this? How do we effectively encourage it?

I think that purely logical thought is impossible, and believing we are a logical person can lead us to assume all our opinions are logical, inherently. Which leads to using after the fact logic to justify initial gut reactions. Is that what you mean by wisdom? The ability to understand your own emotional reaction and decide if it's based on anything useful? Or is it something else?

I think, at this point in time, celebrity culture is important to be aware of. Trump was a reality tv star, after all. I think a better world could be made if society didn't care about celebrities, but that is not where we live, and observing reality seems an important step to understanding it. And understanding it can help us determine if there is a way to alter this. If that's the goal. Is that the purpose to your questions?

After he[r] reinvention as a conservative Catholic activist, she drew criticism in 2001 after saying on a television talkshow that the high rate of Aids in Africa was due, not to a lack of safe sex, but because “the Blacks like to copulate a lot”. She later tried to amend her remarks, saying Africans had a lot of sex due to the continent’s hot climate.

Wow!

Thanks for linking to that! Interesting. I refreshed their page and they have more to say now that it's happened.

Is it against playstore rules to say in the description they can get it for free elsewhere? I do see how it could be or feel unethical, if people aren't aware.

I can't say I've ever really liked a controller, so I never experimented with fancy ones. The one that was the most fine was the ps controller. the joycon was ok until drift kicked in. The xbox controller made my hands hurt after too long. I think if I'd had more xbox games back then I would have gotten more into controllers to find one for my tiny hands. I mostly prefer a keyboard.
