I'm just saying, Harper's Ferry was heroic, Pottawatomie Creek not so much. Brutally murdering your civilian neighbors for their political views in front of their spouses and children, just because you're pissed off and lack the means to strike at the real enemy, is abhorrent.
In Kansas, he also had pro-slavery men dragged out of their homes at night and hacked to death with sabers in revenge for the sacking of Lawrence (the victims weren't known to have participated in the sacking, and they weren't slave owners themselves). The line between "hero" and "murderous terrorist" is blurry.
What's healthy and mature is learning to cope with the fact others are different and not judging others based on those arbitrary differences or forcing them to conform to your expectations of them.
Oh, absolutely that's true, and I hope I didn't imply otherwise. It goes both ways. What's healthy and mature is learning how to meet people where they're at and avoid conflict. Sometimes that means overlooking things that make you uncomfortable, and sometimes that means being mindful of how your own appearance and behavior can make others uncomfortable.
It's not "inconsequential" if it causes friction with your client. You can say "this is fucking bullshit and fuck anyone who disagrees" as much as you want because you're an uninvolved keyboard warrior, but the employer has to be pragmatic.
No task exists in a vacuum; optics are part of the job. Nobody can be forced to employ him in the position that he prefers. If he feels strongly about it, he can establish his own transportation company called Lolita's Bus Line and attempt to win the school district's contract on his own merit.
P.S. Moderating your own self-expression to accommodate the comfort level of a diverse audience is a healthy, mature part of human social interaction. You aren't obligated to do so, but you must expect friction and obstacles when you don't. There are times and places to let your true colors fly. It's wise to recognize that and seek out those settings.
They're the good guys in Fallout 3 in the sense that they've taken it upon themselves to provide clean water and protect people from super mutants. They're also the bad guys in the sense that they make no attempt to discern sapient ghouls from feral ghouls; they shoot all mutants on sight. And of course their chapter had a civil war so there is a splinter faction present in Fallout 3 that clings to the old isolationist tech-hoarder ways.
Every individual on this planet has the right to express themselves independently of how others around them might perceive them.
Yes, absolutely. We have the right to express ourselves. But we aren't entitled to employment in any position we want at any company we want regardless of how we express ourselves in public while representing that company. "Dressing in flashy attention-seeking outfits and displaying a sign that says Lolita" isn't a category that's protected from employment discrimination.
The dude isn't facing criminal charges. Just normal workplace consequences that anyone should have expected regardless of whether you feel it's right.
It's a matter of professionalism and optics. I work for an impressively liberal financial institution, but I guarantee you I would be written up at best (probably fired) if I showed up to work in a pink schoolgirl dress and put a sign on my desk that said "Lolita's Credit Union."
The driver wasn't arrested. His identity doesn't appear to have been shared publicly. The wording in the article implies that he still works for the transportation company but was taken off of the school route. It's not like it's a witch hunt. He's just facing the natural consequence of unprofessional behavior.
If you're going to be the public face of a company, you shouldn't comport yourself in a way that anyone with half a brain cell would know is uncomfortable and offensive to your client (in this case, a Catholic private elementary school).
I love throwing weapons (and enemies) but dang, this game uses an unrealistically high arc for throwing spears, daggers, and axes. I hate that Path Interrupted warning 😖
Almost as bad as Isobel provoking three attacks of opportunity, just so she can move five feet and cast a buff spell on someone who was already within range and sight.
That's awesome! I had no idea about the different methods for refining gold.
Tadmekka is part of my realm in my current Crusader Kings III campaign, so this caught my eye. It's fun to play in the Sahara desert and still find ways to build a strong economy through irrigation, mining, and trading.
Same way they always have. You pay a subscription fee and you get the magazine delivered to your door. You might also find it at booksellers that carry a wider selection of magazines. Lots of people still enjoy printed media. Of course, you can also access a lot of the content on SI.com.
The UK can't get hurricanes. Any storm that far away from the tropics, by definition, is not a hurricane (and is statistically likely to be far weaker and less destructive than a hurricane). So nobody would have had the opportunity to shoot at a hurricane in the UK in the first place.
I figured she would break her oath on my evil playthrough but didn't think about it too much. Made it all the way to act 3, didn't break her oath until she landed the killing blow on Valeria in the tribunal.
By that point I felt like the oathbreaker subclass messed up my playstyle because it didn't synergize as well with the spells and equipment I liked to use. I went ahead and restored her oath
If you respec her as a paladin, she even gets a tag "Paladin of Shar" so you can still use a lot of her religious dialogue options! Paladins don't normally get to choose a patron deity in this game, so it was a pleasant surprise.
