You can bet Pence as a fundamentalist would drag debates back to anti gay marriage and anti abortion more than they already are for the Republicans. Trump isn't really a religious fundamentalist in the same way Pence is.
Excuse me while I look at Trump's Supreme Court Nominee whose selling points are...will overturn Roe V. Wade and is against Gay marriage. Trump is doing what Pence would do.

He'd be willing to pretty much sign whatever the Republicans want him to, and that includes opting into free trade deals which is where Trump likes to act as though he is different from Republican orthodoxy on.
Trump has signed everything that was put in front of him so far. He says he doesn't follow the Republican orthodoxy, but he sure looks like it from here. That's my point. Trump doesn't have personal politics, which means on paper, Pence is "worse". But if you look at what Trump is actually doing, domestically, how is that any different than what Pence would be doing?

Yesterday's Treason Summit should also speak to people arguing "Mike Pence would be worse" in defense of Trump Impeachment: Mike Pence would've either never requested the meeting or he would've cancelled it on Friday upon seeing the indictments. He also wouldn't be calling NATO a foe. There IS danger in having a moron like Trump as President when you look at the bigger picture.
I also think it's kind of destructive to say "we don't want to hold Trump accountable for these crimes because someone else is 'worse'" How does that make us look as a nation, not being able to hold the president accountable because we think "Pence would be worse". I'm not even sure what's worse about Pence, what exactly is Pence going to do that Trump hasn't been doing or trying to do?

Not feeling like arguing Fascism, since I'm woefully under qualified to do such a thing. But I caught bits of his "Space Force" speech, and all I could think of he's describing NASA, just without the overt militarism. It almost makes me think Trump doesn't realize we've been to the moon.

Your own playthrough or own experiment thread? Please make it the former.
Playthrough. But still. That requires motivation.

@Bolded: Why? I've seen that argument several times and it always makes me question why execution methods are more expensive than imprisonment. If the current methods are expensive why not just simplify the matter with having volunteers execute by just blowing their fucking brains out with a gun? In US culture you'd find lots of nuts willing to do that.
From what I understand, the cost isn't in the actual method of execution, but the process. Because you can't go "oops, sorry, we messed up you're really innocent" after the sentence is carried out, we spend years on things like appeals and reviews. Moreso than any other kind of case that goes through the system. On top of that, housing someone on death row costs more than housing them in general population.

I'm just enjoying the playthrough. Tempted to do my own, if I ever get enough motivation to do it.

I enjoying this a lot. You're Rebecca is awesome. (And I'll always prefer Wil, but that's just my general love for that core group in Lyn's path, except for Rath. I still don't like you Rath)

I'm sorry. I let my own emotions run away with me, and I got more heated than I should have. I apologize to @Tediz64 for getting heated in what should have been a much calmer discussion.

Well you certainly didn't start off with that. So then there wasn't a need for me to say anything to you except the part where i needed to defend my statement of basically let;s hear some ideas, let;s hear what people are doing, and let;s get this ball rolling. Ok so you're a good person. You're making a difference (if all of what your saying is true). Great. I like you. Keep up the good work. What you're doing is good and benefits lots of people. But now, we need to address our leaders and how poor of a job they are doing and not helping the needy. I want to focus on the fact that there are thousands who are NOT LIKE YOU @RandomJC . They aren't helping or pitching to make the world better. That in itself is a problem. Other people are ignoring the pain and suffering of millions.
You mean, I had to lead off with my resume, instead of you just assuming I do nothing? That you can't even apologize for making assumptions about me, and my life? You understand that I didn't just tell you all that to get a pack on the back, right? That the reason I don't say just say that is because I DON'T want some validation from some random on the internet. My life is my own, and I like having it be my private life, not some way of validating myself in some argument.
So if you really want to help, maybe be a decent human being first. Don't assume the worst in every person, and apologize when you mess up. Then actually do something with your time and money, help people. I've told you something you can do, I've brought an idea to your table instead of picking apart yours. And now you've shifted the argument again.
Look, I'm done with you. You judge those before you known them, and aren't adult enough to own up to your mistakes and apologize for them. And I don't have time for people who rather think the worst of me before they even know who I am.

@RandomJC ok so if you have the experience and know what it is like, more so now that before you REALLY don't care about other people and what is happening all around us. You'd pick apart my idea and not even in one response present your own idea? Offer a way to help/save others? If i'm wrong, if i'm radical, and i'm not in the right by saying this is our only option/choice right now, make me right! I just said i'd throw in with any idea that helps. I'd put my time, effort, resources, and etc it if meant making a difference. Yet you still passed up that chance to help people. Ergo; complacent and doesn't care about other's suffering. Ergo; you condone it.
Donate time and energy to children's centers, the youth groups. Time to impoverished schools as a mentor to young kids, give them dreams and hopes beyond their impoverished beginnings. Do positive things, help people, time and effort into these actions, have noted effects, positive ones. It's been proven time and again, that all it takes is one person willing to help those less fortunate can make all the difference in the world.
It's what I do. It's how I show I care. I help them. I visit these kids. I tutor them. I play games. I give them happiness in a world filled with pain. It's what my life has taught me, my pain has taught me. That doing good, being there for kids who need someone does so much. It saves lives.
And I much rather save lives than take them. So again, don't you dare ever speak about my life, and what I do, when you don't have any clue.

You also further my point that if your going to just see me as a radical and NOT FOCUS on the real problem that is still persisting, that you are being complacent. You are ok with coexisting with it since you won't go out of your way to stop it. So the next time a person is raped i want you to remember, YOU SAID OK TO IT. You gave that murderer or robber the thumbs up. You gave that person who physically abused their partner, the thumbs up. @RandomJC wants people to suffer/hurt and doesn't want to do anything about it. Go ahead. Keep looking the other way and ignore as it happens all around you. Once it happens to your family or friends then it'll be other people's turn to look the other way while you cry for justice.
So, I completely ignored this at first, but hey, Let's move past the fact that I didn't say it was okay to rape someone. Or that I didn't say I wouldn't go out of my way to stop it. That saying I don't think KILLING someone is the right action isn't the same as being complacent and being okay with evil acts.
Let's go past that horseshit, and move on to the fact you don't know me, or my life, and how dare you act like I've never had tragedy strike in my life? You don't know what's happened to me, or my family, or my friends. The pain I've personally known. How that's shaped me as a person. You'd rather strawman and contort what I've said to further promote you're own twisted beliefs.
And for your information, yes, I have known that pain, I have had to live through it. And I still don't think killing another person is the right, or "just" thing to do. So go shove your sanctimonious radical extreme ideas up your rearend and don't you ever dare speak about my life, or my family again like that.

Look i know what i'm saying is SUPER radical and extreme. I am ONE HUNDRED PERCENT behind ANY IDEA that gets rid of pain and suffering. It we happen to figure a way out that doesn't involve inflicting MORE pain and suffering then i PROMISE you, i'll throw my time, effort, money, and resources into it. But NOBODY wants to bring any new ideas to the table. Instead y'all want to pick apart my idea. I don't see any changes happening. I don't see any organizations having written on the wall at the entrance with a slogan or goal that is "lets reduce crime by 1% today!". Pitch ideas people! I'll get behind them
You do know you're idea isn't new, right? You aren't bringing anything new to the table either. That whenever this has been done before it ended badly, is why people are picking apart you're idea.

(HINT: Now that alcohol is legal and you can walk into any lawfully operated liquor store in America to buy beer and whiskey. When was the last time you heard of horrific violence being carried out by roving gangs of bootleggers???)(In an attempt to lighten the mood)
Does the reality show Moonshiners count as horrific crime?

You say i'm being childish and seeing things as black and white, but everyone else's opinion on what to do and how to keep going about a certain situation isn't getting it solved. It isn't working. What bothers me about what you said the most is the part i underlined. You don't want to live peacefully because you don't even realize this world isn't peaceful right now. Yet you criticize me for wanting to make a change and ACTUALLY make the world a better place. You don't even want to make the world a better place through diplomacy because your still busy turning and looking the other way as someone RIGHT NOW is getting killed or robbed. As far as i'm concerned, if you haven't already killed someone in your life time, you part of the world that is ok with evil existing. Your part of the world that will turn and look the other way as others suffer. Your part of the world that glorifies evil with games like Grand Theft Auto which make sport of crime, or movies that have rape scenes in them, or books like 50 shades of Grey that turn abuse into a bondage role-play relationship that girls swooned over and was so popular it needed a movie. You ignore it, because it hasn't happened to you, your mom, your siblings if you have any, or a friend. That is being complacent.
So...if I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, if you haven't done something evil, you're condoning evil existing? You understand killing someone is an evil act, not a righteous one, right?
This is very dangerous thinking. You need to seek help.

Hello,
Im new here and i want to know where can i look up the value of my cards?
I don't know if there is a place that has a listing of value of the cards. I just used TCGrepublic.com to get a general baseline, though it's N/HNs are over priced, but it gave me a good idea of what I'd expect to pay for R/SR.

Was definitely gonna say that 19 reminded me of the Grima marks on Robin's hand.
Definitely. I don't know why, since it looks nothing like it, but 16 reminds me of the Yllisean crest generally, and Emmeryn specifically.

I like the name Three Houses.

May just be me, but 16 and 19 remind me of awakening.
