  • No it's not. Even animals fight over territory and property. There are cases of them sharing, yes, but they're not the absolute norm.

  • I'd definitely claim exception there in cases when someone travels often. Picture a guy who's going to study at the nearby university for one year, but isn't going to put down any roots in the city.

    But yes, I acknowledge that's a comparatively uncommon case to most renters.

  • I feel like this is a time to vouch for an element of a story I'm writing.

    In this world, there's an Adventurer's Guild. It's named, and oriented, very much like the generic guild that appears in so many generic Anime-MMO medieval fantasy worlds. In it, travelers with weapons, be they swords or bows, complete missions for money.

    As one would expect from that setup, the only people with money who ever hire the Adventurer's Guild are wealthy merchants with cargo to protect, or land developers with an excuse to enact aggression on innocent people, or anyone who can veil their murderous intent with some legal excuse. The first way the story introduces them is that a city has contracted with the Guild to use them as extra peacekeepers, and it's a horrible setup because they have no deescalation training. The guild itself lures in members with ideas that they'll "take down troublesome animals for troubled townfolk" and maybe even sometimes have those quests, but primarily, most of the other characters in the story just refer to it as "The Mercenary's Guild. Oh, I guess they call themselves Adventurers' Guild now."

    It's my way of getting people to analyze their desire to kill things for rewards, which is fine for a simple game made for children, but shouldn't be part of your fantasies as you grow up.

  • I really hope we can reach a point where we don't give this guy headlines.

    "Trump declares that anybody that's EVER made fun of him is currently being targeted by every international police force which he has command over, and also that the sky is purple" is a statement totally disconnected from reality. We DO NOT NEED an "Um, actually!" to disprove him.

  • Why do they keep trying to fuzz the terminology?

    Zionists and Jews are not the same thing. They have very little in common.

  • I guess I'm glad Twitch took a side on that?

    After Bezos went full nazi on the Washington Post, I have expected the worst of everything Amazon.

  • I'm reminded of the initial framework that Auschwitz used for Jews. Many of them came voluntarily, because the Germans were making vague promises of "We're planning a Jewish settlement where you will be safe, and kept separate from the German Aryan future." So I could be reaching, but maybe he's interpreting something around that - the idea of using "nice gestures" (lies) to lure people in and humanize themselves.

    Of course, it's a reach in any regard to interpret something coherent from Donald Trump, especially when regarding history.

  • It's only recently I've come to the frightening realization that...we're all tensely waiting for World War 3 to start. It HAS started, the fronts just aren't within the traditional empires; and a good 70% of the war is on ideology and propaganda.
