While you're largely right, it is worth noting that each translation is a distinct work under copyright law, and any translation made after 1929 may be still protected.

And that ignores really young religions, and the copyright status of high-authority extant religions such as Iranian Islam, Mormon and Roman Catholic Christianity, Ron Hubbard's Scientology or state-atheist communism.

(Whether or not Hubbard, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao count as "religious leaders" is a distinction without a difference in discussion of the copyright status of their works.)

The late night host was suspended because Donald Trump wanted him suspended.

It doesn't matter what Kimmel said, or about whom, or how politely.. he was censored by the government,.and that's literally the first thing we put into.the constitution to say 'no, they can't do that".

Don't carry water for fascists by repeating their lies.

The Senate in 2020 was 50 Republicans, 2 independents who caucus with the Dems, 1 coal baron pretending to be a Democrat, 1 green party scam artist also pretending to be a Democrat, and 46 actual Democrats.

Even if you got past the filibuster the vote would almost certainly be 49-51 against or worse.

You got it in 1.

Trump's a wannabe facist, so his crony at the FCC corruptly pressured the employer of a comedian he doesn't like into firing said comedian.

Make note of this, and refer back to it for the next several decades anytime anyone on the right bitches about "cancel culture" or "free speech".

If Schumer and Jeffries want to endorse whomever they want, they can resign their positions as party leadership.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are doing incalculable damage to Democratic party unity by not enforcing their party's candidate for NYC mayor.

It doesn't even matter at this point if Mamdami loses -- any call by either "leader" for party unity will be met with "you didn't endorse Mamdami, why should we endorse your pick" by anyone to their left, forever.

If you held on until Ant Man 3, I presume you skipped DrStange 2, Black Panther 2, and "Thor: bring your kid to the movie lot*?

The MCU's been putting out "meh" and "camp" movies for years. (Thor 2). I still go because I have a fairly low bar for date-night, and they're still not the worst movies I've sat through. But I don't know if I'd want to re-watch any of the ones I mentioned.

Fort Liberty had its name changed back to Fort Bragg by racists.

Please don't spread racist propaganda or take their

This isn't true. Go look up the definition for either word, and it doesn't comport with the usage rules claimed.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/labyrinth

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/maze

If you do want to draw a sharp distinction in modern usage, you could posit that a labyrinth is a type of maze that was made intentionally and can be walked through.

The Republican party chose not to impeach him when he sent a mob to stop a pro forma session.

The Federalist supreme Court declared him immune for prosecution for whatever shit he does in the white house, and exempt from punishment for what he does outside it.

Fucker didn't declare himself above the law. He just finally realized what his traitorous party has been saying for years.

You're assuming that the dramatically segmented and stratified experience is the "exact same service", which is patently not true.

There's a world of difference between a black officer who managed a supply line, a white non-comp who maintained aircraft, and a queer rifeman who witnessed half his unit die to an IED. And that's ignoring rape, gang infiltration, religions discrimination, and plain ol "was your CO a jerk or awesome?"

The idea that a pedestrian walking anywhere but on a limited access highway would ever be at fault for a collision with an automobile is a direct result of century-old propaganda by the moral equivalent of the NRA.

If i made a self-propelled battering ram with remote controlled steering I would rightly be held to strict liabily if anyone was hurt. But if we put a a chair in the same thing and call it a "vehicle", suddenly the rules change in our favor.

I like cars and driving, and can easily imagine a number of mitigating circumstances that would shift liability away from the driver, but the presumption that once-walkable city streets are for cars is the result of fierce industrial lobbying and not a reasoned public policy process.

First house rule from my P2e remaster game, offered for your review.

Spell Slot Heresy

Since Pathfinder is balanced at a per encounter level, per-day limits on daily abilities are largely only kept around due to tradition. And tradition is just peer pressure from strangers, I don't see a good reason to follow it.

Any spellcaster can recover spent spell-slots with a one-hour activity, as noted below, while characters with focus points can recover them during combat.


Recover Magic

Traits: concentrate, exploration, manipulate
Requirements: You have expended a spell slot or used some other once-per-day activity

You spend one hour to recover your expended magical power.

During such time you may not work on any other activities or actions or be treated for wounds. At the end of the hour you regain spell slots or once-per-day abilities as per your daily preparations. If you have cast spells from a wand or staff, the item also regains any expended uses or charges.

If you are a prepared spellcaster such as a cleric or wizard, you may not replace what spells you have prepared for the day.


Refocus (1A)

Traits: concentrate, flourish, manipulate
Requirements: You are missing at least one focus point.

You take a moment to perform some deed to restore your magical connection, such as touching a talisman, speaking a phrase, or simply taking a breath. Doing so restores 1 Focus Point at the end of your turn.


EDIT: For the record, please presume the above is all released under the ORC license as a derivative of Player Core 1.
