And I cast that wish at level 9

Well no duh. It's a level 9 spell. Can't cast it lower than that.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago

Agree with antifascist stuff. Just nitpicking the fascist idiot's idiotic words: what the hell is an example of a non-politically-motivated assassination?? isn't every assassination politically motivated?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

If we're moving away from elections and governments, corporations could assassinate each others leaders.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

isn’t every assassination politically motivated?

We can go further and describe everything we do and every way in which we interact with others as "politically motivated" because politics is literally just dealing with someone else. If there were two people left on earth, there would be politics. If there was only one person left, there would finally be no politics.

And that's my platform when I run: no more politics 2028! lets gooooo!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Honestly yeah. My understanding of politics is power dynamics, which is just built into everything

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I don't know what level of irony you're on, but seriously, isn't the political motivation what makes it different from a (paid) murder?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

"Political motivation" is just the term we use to describe something that happened that we haven't codified into law yet because it hasn't become the widespread, social norm.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Are you doing a Peterson move and just asking me to define my terms? Anyway, I'm off to bed, maybe I'il expand on that tomorrow.

Internal politics or killing people that threaten their position?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Financially-motivated assassinations? Having someone killed before they can disown you?

I suddenly realised I don't actually know the difference of somebody being murdered or assassinated. I searched it, turns out there's various definitions. Most have either sneaky-peaky or prominent (political?) meanings.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Often, I think being an important person or person in position of power is an important factor that makes it different than just a murder.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Blue checkmark checks out.

[-] [email protected] 52 points 1 day ago

Um, actually Wish is always cast at level 9.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

The old 3.5e Epic Level Handbook had 10th level spells, and the rules surrounding their use.

So, maybe you could use a 10th level spell slot to stengthen Wish?

I haven't played D&D this century, and the last Pathfinder I ran was lower level and we only did 1 or 2 actual play sessions before scheduling fell apart. (Also, I'm a pretty bad DM, even working from an existing published campaign; people just want me to be GM because I can remember rules.)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Um acktshually you can cast Limited Wish as a 7th level in Pathfinder 🤓

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 hours ago

Um, actually Limited Wish is not Wish.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

As of this month I am 31 years clean from D&D. And even I knew that wish is always cast at level 9.

[-] [email protected] 51 points 1 day ago

"I cast that wish at level 9" is a weird phrasing. So far as I know Wish is already level 9, so there's no other level to cast it at. Older editions had "limited wish" but I don't believe they had upcasting. It feels very "how do you do fellow children"

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago

It's kinda "fellow kids" but also a lot people don't know the rules of the games they play.

This one's a fascist tho, so fuck them.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

DnD is also a game that utilizes table rules pretty much all the time. It's possible that his DM gave more flexible rules, I know my DM will if you have a convincing argument.

But also, buddy definitely says "you're one of the good ones" to his black coworkers

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I love threads where there's the one person downvoting a benign comment, like "fuck fascists." It must be lonely on Lemmy for those people. I sure hope it is.

Suffer being ostracized, downvoting fascist.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately there seem to be a not-insignificant number of accelerationist tankies on various instances, so I'm sure fascists habe someone to hold hands with and trash on the rest of the political spectrum.

[-] [email protected] 140 points 1 day ago

Yeah this happened once during the 2020 July protests in Serbia. As we walked, we passed a WW2 memorial and the guy leading the group took a moment to stop, comment on it and chant "death to fascism" a few times. Then out of the blue two guys started yelling "death to communism".

To be fair, "death to fascism, freedom to the people" is a communist slogan known by everyone from ex-Yugoslavia, but getting triggered by someone disavowing fascism right next to a statue that shows how fascists murdered civilians in raids in your own city is... worrying.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 1 day ago

Weird how every anticommunism turns out to be fascism putting on a performance for libs.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Not in Eastern Europe. People hate the communists here. They have ruined their countries, basically occupied them.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Which eastern European country, and how many monuments to nazi collaborators have they put up since the fall of communism?

Wonderful feeling.

All they ever do is “No, u…!”

Haven't had an original thought since 1936.

"Politically motivated assassinations"? Should we bring up the comparative list of politically-motivated extremist incidents in the US and see which side is enacting most of the violence?
