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

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?
Mob hits.
Internal politics or killing people that threaten their position?
Financially-motivated assassinations? Having someone killed before they can disown you?
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!
Honestly yeah. My understanding of politics is power dynamics, which is just built into everything
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?
"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.
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.
Assassination of passion.
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.
If we're moving away from elections and governments, corporations could assassinate each others leaders.
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.
Blue checkmark checks out.
Um, actually Wish is always cast at level 9.
Um acktshually you can cast Limited Wish as a 7th level in Pathfinder 🤓
Um, actually Limited Wish is not Wish.
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.)
As of this month I am 31 years clean from D&D. And even I knew that wish is always cast at level 9.
"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"
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.
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
Ever say "Fuck Nazis" and some fuck face goes "Of course you would make fun of conservatives you lib!".
Wonderful feeling.
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.
Weird how every anticommunism turns out to be fascism putting on a performance for libs.
Not in Eastern Europe. People hate the communists here. They have ruined their countries, basically occupied them.
Which eastern European country, and how many monuments to nazi collaborators have they put up since the fall of communism?
None. But plenty of communist monuments that were forced on us that we tore down the second Russia effed off back to home.
Communism is a disease and the Soviet Union was an imperialist country continuing on with Russia.
Which eastern European country didnt build monuments to nazi collaborators as part of its anticommunist national project?
Mine didn't. Stop whatabouting, I don't remotely care about opinions of a tankie.
What is the name of that country?
For some reason there seems to be this idea that everything must either be fascist or communist or somewhere between. Like they don't believe in the existence of other political philosophies.
They're obsessed with the political spectrum being one-dimensional, it isn't.
Binary thinking is inherently limiting for complex issues, we aren't computers we don't need to look at everything like a boolean
"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?
"politically motivated assassinations?" like the two Democratic politicians who were just murdered yesterday in Minnesota?
All they ever do is “No, u…!”
Haven't had an original thought since 1936.
