What happens to their stuff? I'd guess "it depends". There's no clear heirs or estate with a company, I think.

Corporations, by contrast, cannot go to jail and or be physically executed

Ok so technically we can't physically execute a corporation, but we could get pretty close if we rounded up the board and c-suite.

I kind of hope that will have the bonus effect of making the ownership class ease up on return-to-office. Sure, have your executive meeting in-person. Oh shit, someone flew a drone in and it exploded, shooting nails everywhere and killing half the c-suite? Shit. Anyway. We'll be working from home until at least they clear the blood out of the carpets.

(Though realistically, they'd make workers go in physically while being remote themselves. But maybe someone will bomb their house. No mercy for the ultra-rich.)

I want republicans dead. That's not really practical but that's what I want. Every republican up against the wall. The big players can get a guillotine.

More practically? Probably impeachment proceedings, noncompliance, fillibuster, malicious compliance, push hard to the left and sell people on a future that's not climate collapse and wage slavery.

It's the "conservatism has one rule: there must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and outgroups for the law to bind but not protect" thing.

Let them enforce their decision, then.

Look, I don't really want a civil war or constitutional crisis, but under no circumstances should we have let the republicans proceed as they have.

Calling him a traitor on the campaign trail isn't the same as actually enforcing the law, at gunpoint if need be. Laws don't matter if they're not enforced. They should be physically removing the republicans from office.

Maybe we should put the prosecutors to death instead.

I would have liked them to push on how Trump and a bunch of other republicans are not eligible for office because of the insurrection. Go for blood. Refuse to acknowledge that that these people hold office.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

You're probably not telling the total truth, but maybe consider that one person being unpleasant 30 years ago isn't a good reason to abandon an entire form of media for your entire life. Let it go. The librarian is probably dead by now, and they don't have to matter to you anymore.

I say this all the time! I use it to try to discredit conservatives when they make up reasons why we can't have good things. Like, look, you love the library, and you know conservatives would make up all sorts of reasons why it couldn't ever work. When they're going on about how free buses (or whatever) couldn't work, it's the same

As more people are laid off, "I gotta go to work" becomes less compelling.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
