Re: Stats prove when women are safer

of the criminal instincts in the minds of frustrated youth , poor personality development, and a difficult social background. Turns out the mindset of men towards women is fundamental to your quest to understand this. Interesting, thank you for pointing that out. So, as long as men have the right m...

Re: Stats prove when women are safer

So in India a woman is more likely to be sexually assaulted in a public place by a person they did not know who is 25 years old or younger than a male over the age of 25? Ok. No idea, but in the US, a woman is more likely to be raped by a man under 30. No idea? It was your link. You may find this i...

Re: Stats prove when women are safer

Thomas: A couple of points. 1) You did not read the article you referrence. 2) Perusing the abstract, it's pretty clear your linked article doesn't say what you suggest that it does It's the same point. The study saying that 46% of sexual assault perpetrators are under 25 is this one. https://www.r...

Re: After 1 month: Russia, Ukraine, NATO, sanctions

The only running up of the credit card under Trump was due to the stupid COVID shutdown. Donald Trump didn't get us into war. He actually helped bring peace in the mideast. He renegotiated trade agreements in favor of American citizens. He did everything he could to enforce the border. He reduced u...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

An example of something we discussed before regarding effort and information that players may never even get near let alone use is the scrap below. To find it, the players have to decide to open a standalone 5'x5' shrine building on the ground level of the cemetery/ necropolis which releases the zom...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Love the update, Bret. It also raises a question for me: how do you handle the party splitting up in game? I'm glad you asked -- because it reminded me to ask you that same question. :) I am coming back to this question to add, I really enjoyed the breakout sessions I've had over the last couple of...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Next work session is coming up. Thought I'd post my preparation notes and see what input anyone has if any, knowing it is not easy to follow without the maps and unwritten context. Session 18 preparation: 0845: Beginning of Session. Captain Zeno arrives at Stoa to join guards just after Null stepped...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Hey xeno, good to hear from you. I mentioned up thread I have a new player in our work campaign who had no D&D experience but is fun to have in the game. His only experience was having played BG3 and listened to an actual play. That seems to have given him an intro to the mechanics and a sense of h...

Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience

I'm hopeful the reverend will stop by and share his thoughts. Some of the somewhat difficult uses of God that comes to mind in ancient contexts include Plato telling us Socrates referred to God and gods in different ways. Many Socratic writings reference God and gods in ways that suggest the former ...
