  • To your last point, Brown Vs. The Board of Education prevents racial segregation in schools, Loving vs. Virginia prevents state laws against interracial marriages, and Atlanta Hotel Vs. The US was the landmark finding that upheld the legitimacy of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, specifically the clause that prevents businesses from discriminating based on protected classes.

    So to answer your question at large, we DO have actual laws on the books that are supposed to protect historically targeted minorities, but at any moment these rogue malefactors could declare any one of those laws unconstitutional as they’ve shown they have NO regard for precedent.

    I personally always considered god belief on two axes… Axises? Axii? Gnostic and Agnostic on one and theist and atheist on the other. For those that don’t know, gnostic means you’re absolutely sure your belief is true, and Agnostic is the opposite, you’re not sure or don’t know.

    There are both gnostic theists and gnostic atheists who are both equally sure they have it right.

    If I had to describe myself I would probably be just Agnostic. I don’t think the Judeo-Christian idea of God exists, but I know that I can never know for sure, and maybe there is a higher power out there, even if it’s nowhere near as high a power as the bible would claim. I very much so resonate more with pagan pantheons where Gods are fallible, have weaknesses, and even fail to defeat mortals from time to time.



  • A VN/RPG that has romance and doesn’t make it an after thought. Like in most persona games or fire emblem games or even like mass effect. When romance is a thing, once you hit that we’re a couple button that’s pretty much it.

    But then VNs represent the opposite end of the spectrum where you make the decision to pursue someone and that’s it, the entire narrative shifts to completely focus on that. I want a middle ground, where there is one structured narrative that asks the question “How might chasing down the big bad change if this person versus this person was the person most important to the main character”

    Like for example of you wanted to woo the nerdy tech wizard, following his or her story might involve tracking down parts and materials to improve tech and brace against the coming of the bbeg. On the other hand of you want to romance the overeager hothead it might involve trying to take the fight to the bad guys while saving puppies and children along the way. Completely different paths with the same end goal of defeating the bbeg.


  • Talk to a major law firm about accepting the prize as anonymously as possible. Take the lump sum -payment to the lawyer team and divide it into thirds. One third goes into a trust that I can direct friends and family to with instructions to offer assistance for major life events, weddings, funerals, education and the like. That way I never have to be the bad guy who says yeah, no.

    The second third will get invested into low risk bonds so I have a stable income forever

    The final third will become what people normally do with lottery winnings, new home, that kind of stuff
