in recent interviews and pressers, desantis has attempted curious tack to defend his inaction regarding covid-19 and the delta variant in particular: questioning the rising hospitalizations and almost certain near future rise in deaths is countered with an accusation of "victim blaming." by criticizing desantis, you are questioning those individuals who got sick. would a mask mandate, greater/earlier emphasis on vaccinations or enforced social distancing have prevented harm? such a question presupposes the increase in hospitalizations were amongst those who failed to be vaccinated, social distance and/or mask. is victim blaming, 'ccording to desantis. would be funny if it weren't so horrible, and am expecting fox to be parroting this nonsense forthwith. HA! Good Fun!

this tax is a replacement for the other alternatives. regardless, this distinction makes no sense whatsoever. regressive is better, but only if is as a replacement for a previous existing tax? what? how on earth do you convince your self o' this silliness? and one o' your most frequent complaints 'bout democrats is taxation related. democrats is out to tax you and take your freedoms... including guns. never forget the guns. whatever. you believe what you believe, and in a few posts you will add an emote and then explain you were joking or just posing a philosophical conundrum to spark debate. tough to keep track. HA! Good Fun!

ps compare wotr with bg3 isn't something which has occupied our imagination, and am not gonna force our self to consider. however, am gonna recognize how after playing a few hours o' bg3 beta, we lost interest in the title. combat, story elements and larian 5e implementation in the beta all left us not wanting more. that said, am suspecting bg3 will sell well enough and fans o' d:os2 have been happy with bg3 from what little we has seen via the intraweb. is not shocking larian would make a game which appeals to the fans o' their successful previous title. smart. but for Gromnir... meh. bg3 beta were just meh. not a comparison o' the games themselves, but will observe we have already spent far more with the wotr beta than we could foresee us investing in the final release o' bg3. HA! Good Fun!

this is a concession to get republican support, and gd complaints is curious as he is the one who is in favour o' similar regressive flat tax silliness. HA! Good Fun!

am thinking wotr is solid in the running for best pathfinder crpg. is also possible wotr could be the least stable pathfinder crpg at release. the current beta may be worth playing up to chapter 3, beyond which crusade management is clear broken to an extreme degree. am not sure what is with nature and oracles as it were bugged but working previous. disallow the curious ac bonus stacking with scaled fist and am suspecting the bulk o' concerns is eliminated. from a technical pov, am not sure what the issue could be though. sure, is large numbers o' animal companion bugs, but nature is a verboten selection before the oracle has a chance to select an animal companion. while we had previous tested an admitted busted scaled fist/paladin/thug nature oracle, we were looking to experiment with a spontaneous divine caster benefiting from a level 1 animal companion build and not some kinda munchkin option. heck, we were even gonna go azata instead o' angel. positive: owlcat did address arueshalae's busted fe options. negative: their fix makes clear they is intending on keeping the curious magic/slaughter/strength split for the demon subset o' outsider favoured enemies. have not looked to see if the demonslayer ranger archetype, celestial bloodline powha and similar outsider based features remain busted in the new build, but am admitting we would be pleasant surprised if such stuff had been addressed. am hopeful wotr is mostly playable through chapter four by the time o' release. am fully cognizant o' the owlcat limitations in writing/storytelling and we got more than a few problems with pathfinder in general. wotr will not be fully baked at release-- nearing certainty. etc. our expectations is limited, so chances for disappointment, while nevertheless significant, is also limited. go out on a limb and suggest wotr is in the running for best pathfinder crpg. is as far as we go. HA! Good Fun!

https://forum.owlcatgames.com/t/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous-beta-version-0-8-1/40395 nature mystery is still not available to oracles. HA! Good Fun!

on the downside, you lost the covid-19 schedule lottery--two games against the cardinals as well as meetings with the chargers, colts and washington. HA! Good Fun! ps the chargers game is pre season, so am thinking that one doesn't count towards any game check loss.

the problem with the nfl % rate is it ignores teams. is kinda like mccarthy pointing out +80% o' the house of representatives is vaccinated while ignoring the fact 100% o' democrats is vaccinated. there is a handful o' teams with slacker rates o' vaccination. ron rivera, coach for washington, a cancer survivor and a person who is likely not getting the full benefits o' the vaccine, lamented how his team is doing relative poor for vaccination rates. am all too aware o' the "me and mine" attitude which precludes any genuine concern for the health and well being o' others. still, is tough to visualize unvaccinated washington players explaining to ron rivera that they still have concerns 'bout the vaccine 'cause some l00n on the arse end o' the internet said something insane w/o the imagined scenario seeming surreal. nevertheless, it must be happening. similar, try and imagine the howls o' fury if a team with 100% vaccination rate loses a game check (or even two given division schedules) due to forfeit 'cause Indianapolis has an outbreak. HA! Good Fun!

the human animal is not hardwired to take remote dangers serious, which is why long-term implications o' debt or climate change do not create the necessary fear to inspire changes in behaviour. am suspecting this ain't yet real for more than a few players. the first game which results in a forfeit and lost pay for both teams will likely result in a sudden uptick in vaccinations, but until then, this situation just ain't real enough. particular for football players, give in now and get vaccinated would be seen as capitulation and weakness, and no doubt these guys fear looking weak more than they fear covid-19. fools. HA! Good Fun!

your recognition makes your continued embrace o' absurdism even more silly. you not only see as necessary but you concede you are a banal everyday participant in a scheme which evokes a need for exclamation points and multipost defenses where you make comparisons to slavery. serious. "taxation is theft!" some bit o' doggerel you read or heard someplace and mistook as pith. you not like taxation. you think is bad, but no so bad as to stop gorging yourself on the fruits o' the poisoned tree. fine. not particular convincing, but knock yourself out. factually is wrong. stop. HA! Good Fun!

again, no. you are mixing rationalizations for slavery with definition of slavery. is not same. if the jobs program in question includes involuntary servitude and the ability to forcible sell the worker as personal property, then is no longer a jobs program. stop. please. HA! Good Fun!

no, slavery was slavery and it was called slavery while it was being embraced by far too many. slavery were immoral and inhuman(e), and over those points there were argument, but nobody quibbled over what it was. you is reversing and doing for slavery what you do for taxation-- you are the one attempting to forcible use an inapplicable definition for that which is already clear defined. slavery is not a jobs program precise 'cause it involves involuntary servitude and the jobs programs preclude the ability o' the owner o' the employed to sell the employee. involuntary servitude and ability to sell the employed would make a jobs program not a jobs program but slavery. duh. taxation is not theft. perhaps you think is immoral, which is severe undercut by your admitted everyday hypocrisy. clear you don't think is equivalent to the wrong o' slavery which you tried to make analogous, otherwise such would make you complicit to equivalent immorality and inhumanity, which is improbable. by definition, theft is an illegal and/or felonious taking. stop. serious, just stop. HA! Good Fun! ps you wanna argue taxation is immoral and inhumane? fine. given your admitted hypocrisy am gonna laugh at you and your dramatic exclamation points. silliness. even so, is your opinion taxation is wrong. converse, claim taxation is theft is a question o' fact, and you are wrong, factually.

HA! Good Fun!

Definition of theft 1a: the act of stealing specifically : the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it b: an unlawful taking (as by embezzlement or burglary) of property so, no, is not theft. if the taking is legal and/or not felonious, then is it is inappropriate to describe as theft. forefathers were against taxation without representation but they most assured weren't against taxation. did gd join the military and use gi bill monies to pay for education? yes he did. so based on gd's own definition he took and used stolen goods. hypocrite. stop. just stop. HA! Good Fun!

Trump Wanted His Justice Department to Stop ‘SNL’ From Teasing Him am no expert, and admitted using trump as a guide for constructing general rules for dealing with narcissists is likely flawed, but we work with what we got. trump were disproportionate concerned with his (self) image as being smarty, successful and strongk. threaten those fundamentals and the pig squealed, yes? is the extent o' our powers o' psychoanalysis. perhaps related... ‘Willing to Go to Jail': Rudy Giuliani Calls Ukraine Investigation ‘Lawless' were s'posed to be an interview 'bout upcoming 20th anniversary o' 9/11. unfortunate, these guys can't help themselves, yes? reports suggest rudy needs money and trump ain't gonna pay rudy's legal bills. is admitted a tough call for trump 'cause pay legal bills is tacit recognition rudy were acting on trump's behalf when he did outrageous and illegal. not pay and rudy motivation to protect trump decreases. what happens when you got multiple narcissists who can't shut up? is fine for the piggies when they need only explain selves to the base or to republicans in Congress. is tougher for the narcissists when prosecutors and/or a judge gets involved. HA! Good Fun!

am current referencing intentional obfuscation, which is political relevant, yes? marco rubio knowing or mistaken posted pictures o' the secretary o' defense in singapore and vietnam as some sorta argument defending an earlier phillipines blunder. skarpen makes a 50% of posts claim ignoring fact every single use o' the searched terms by this poster were either from after his initial search, or referenced trump's sharpie pen. the wrong is similar and is has nothing whatsoever to do with the history o' a former poster. nevertheless, am guessing you are taking a more expansive view and simply want the bickering to end, whether is related to the shortcomings o' a former poster or not. fine. as an aside, notice how marco rubio, in his subsequent post cropped the photo 'o the secretary o' defense in the philipines which were original showing other military officers similar masked and shielded. these guys just can't help themselves, eh? HA! Good Fun! ps edit out repeat word

mind boggling so 30% o' 33 total returns for your first research which is most broad. 50% o' 4 total results from your curious narrow sharpie search (compare https://forums.obsidian.net/search/?&q=sharpie&page=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy) 75% o' 9 total results from final search. and again, w/o any explanation as to your divination. compare to the most obvious search which yielded 204 total. figment? mostly? again, you clear didn't bother to search before making your mostly and figment observations, or you just lied. what is the reasonable alternative? HA! Good Fun! ps the real question is: why do you keep doing this to yourself? pps am beginning to suspect skarpen is actual a marco rubio alt turns out the secretary were following the masking guidelines o' the Philippines. so, unable to accept he got wrong, he does the follow up post problem is the other photos is not from the Philippines. singapore and vietnam. the thing is, am betting marco stops at two fails.

"Unfortunately there is no such user and the search only returns mostly you referring to this guy so I must assume he's a figment of your paranoia." so, the person o' whom you were unable to discover 'cause there were no such user, you divined alternative names for your search? ok, show us. receipts. show us how you discovered alt naming conventions from near entire before you began posting. show the returns from such searches and the numbers o' responses which result in a finding o' "mostly" compared to the 204 from a simple and obvious search o' the former poster who abandoned the board weeks before you arrived. and again, using the suspended poster's moniker in a search yields literal hundreds o' options which is quite unreasonable to square with your "figment" observation. you are so terrible at this and am taking advantage o' the shortcoming you share with the former poster. HA! Good Fun! ps amusing, but Gromnir doesn't even figure as "mostly" with a search o' "sharpie"? not even close.

book am reading and referenced in another thread reminded us o' regina spektor, a jewish soviet era russian emigre to the US. the school in the video is where her mother, a former professor o' music in russia, teaches music to elementary school children. lucky kids. thought her cover o' "while my guitar gently weeps" for an animated film were great. HA! Good Fun!

so again, you didn't actual search as claimed. you assumed. is same as your grace mistake. based on whatever search parameters you used for your wall o' links, you assumed the usatoday article were relevant to your "tiny" refutation. which is same mistake as the former poster named sharp_one made all too frequent. resort to deflection and indulge hypocrisy as a non response. not bother to read linked content. embarrass self and then declare victory, hoping endurance would replace clever argument or insight. don't be sharp_one. *sigh* am gonna admit we do deserve criticism, but not for the fault you describe. am indeed exploiting your inability to admit error so as to create a kinda perpetual engine o' shame. most folks with common sense would see there is no benefit in giving us yet another opportunity to chastise mendacity and/or error but you cannot resist and so far we has shown no desire to self impose a kinda mercy rule. that said, is not all on you. am taking advantage o' your handicap. point o' diminishing returns is indeed far in the rearview mirror. anywho, HA! Good Fun!

new release but we were getting an advanced copy. is fun so far. HA! Good Fun!

2%? is another example o' you not doing as you claim. you said you did a search for sharp_one, but is clear you did not. can't reasonable get "mostly" from less than 2%. for some reason unclear, you assumed a level of interaction 'tween Gromnir and the bumbling fool who were sharp_one. the sad and funny o' it is if you had actual done as you claimed, you woulda' avoided the embarrassment o' the near identical mistake you made earlier by linking Grace's usatoday contribution. and predictable, you now feel compelled to defend yet another exaggeration/inaccuracy/mistake, just as @Gorth suggested the former poster known as sharp_one were incapable o' avoiding. the clownish behaviour described by Gromnir, and more than a few people in the 204 links, should not be something to which you aspire. recall, the yutz were suspended. nevertheless, you is almost inexplicable repeating the errors o' a poster long gone following his public embarrassment and ignominious suspension. be better. convenient segue: Trump defends his comments about election after release of DOJ notes trump reaction to getting caught is, as always, more extreme and more outlandish gaslighting. that said, is noteworthy trump ain't trying to claim rosen and donoghue or the media is lying. HA! Good Fun! ps @Amentep & @Guard Dog everybody hates the lawyers, until they need one... and then there is a good chance you end up hating your own lawyer even if they is diligent advocating for you 'cause particular in criminal defense, there is a good chance your lawyer loses. and if the lawyer does find a way to get his obviously guilty client freed from incarceration, then is the lawyer's fault and not the law. that said, many lawyers get paid pretty well, so is understandable few is gonna sympathize with them. "the first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers," is from a shakespeare play and everybody laughs, but is a line from the villainous **** the butcher.

https://forums.obsidian.net/search/?&q=sharp_one&page=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy the guy were a cartoonish schnook so am doubting any here were driven to paranoia by the churlish and juvenile posting which eventual got his account suspended, but if he were a "figment," he qualifies as a mass hysteria event as there are, as you may plain see, 204 results for the aforementioned toolbag, with only four such references authored by Gromnir. speaking o' paranoia, you see less than 2% as qualifying as "mostly"? is fascinating what victory looks like for you. first fascinating contribution you have made in this... dialogue. now, am suspecting will most interest @BruceVC HA! Good Fun!

if is ugly enough, perhaps the demand for laws to prevent future shenanigans will be loud and long. am not sure what to expect. the urge to bury this is gonna be strong on both sides o' the aisle as the blowback will have the potential to affect politicians other than President. nevertheless, is already a thing. is too late to disappear this the way the previous admin tried to disappear ig reports. HA! Good Fun!

tougher for Presidents. the disclosure requirements is ordinarily a bit strict, and am suspecting now that trump's taxes will finally be going to Congress for review, the possibility new legislation will be passed making the limits even more strict is likely. HA! Good Fun!
