I know you’re all shocked.
Not that that’s a real one, but they didn’t have metal dice back when I used to game and now they do and it gives me a sad that I have no current need of metal dice because they’re cool!
I used to game with a guy who spent an absurd amount of money on a d20 made of meteorite.
That’s going way too far, but I have gone into game stores to browse and seen this sort of stuff and it’s so cool:
I know these aren’t made of metal, but you should check out the youtube channel Hedron Gemworks, they make some gorgeous d20s out of gems and minerals.
The current oligarchs are doing what they failed to do almost 90 years ago when Roosevelt was in charge: establish corporate fascism. And I’m afraid they might succeed at it this time.
I believe you’re referring to the Business Plot.
The Business Plot, also called the Wall Street Putsch[1] and the White House Putsch, was a political conspiracy in 1933, in the United States, to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install Smedley Butler as dictator.[2][3] Butler, a retired Marine Corps major general, testified under oath that wealthy businessmen were plotting to create a fascist veterans’ organization with him as its leader and use it in a coup d’état to overthrow Roosevelt.Something about the Business Plot that I can’t believe goes overlooked is how much one of the players has had an outsize affect on our government for almost 100 years now:
Prescott Bush
In July 2007, a BBC investigation reported that Prescott Bush, father of U.S. President George H. W. Bush and grandfather of then-president George W. Bush, was to have been a “key liaison” between the 1933 Business Plotters and the newly emerged Nazi regime in Germany,[51] although this has been disputed by Jonathan Katz as a misconception caused by a clerical research error.[52] According to Katz, “Prescott Bush was too involved with the actual Nazis to be involved with something that was so home grown as the Business Plot.”[53]How did Gerorge Bush senior, grandson of Prescott Bush, potential suspect in a coup, becoming CIA director not raise some giant fucking red flags? He goes on to become vice-president, then president. And 8 years later his son becomes president thanks to the 2000 Supreme Court decision that came about because of the Brooks Brothers Riot
I’m not saying any of that is irrefutable proof of anything underhanded but fuckin’ hell isn’t it a super strange chain of events.
Not if we fuck them in the ass
Elon Musk Is a
Paid Subscriber toShockingly Racist Pro-Apartheid South AfricanX AccountThere. FTFY
Still not shocking though lol.
Shockingly racist if you don’t know anything about him beforehand.
everyone has a few slaves in their emerald mines, why are you getting upset?
Life was so much simpler when he kept his fucking mouth shut and let engineers do cool things.
You missed a strike through of shockingly
Is he subscribed to his dad?
I bet he still only pays the minimum subscriber amount, even though there’re options to pay extra. Oh, Lonnie, you far-right piece of shit.
Elon Musk Is a
Paid Subscriber to ShockinglyRacist Pro-Apartheid South AfricanX AccountIt’s worth pointing out that Elon left South Africa in 1988, before Mandela was released and apartheid was abolished. He would have experienced the full brunt of the racism (on the good side, of course).
Wait wait wait… He pays to subscribe to someone on his own platform?
Sort of makes the guy he’s paying an employee if you think about it.
Hol up…
You can pay to subscribe to someone on Twitter?!
People will pay for literally anything it seems
You can even pay to subscribe to the richest asshole in the world, too and there’s a shockingly high numbers of idiots that did so
Fuck I sick of hearing about this cunt. Can’t someone Luigi him already.
And no one is even trying to assassinate Musk. 🤔
In Minecraft right? with a pick axe right?
Luigi’s in Minecraft?
We were already on “a list” by being on Lemmy, now you’re double on a list
(You know if the admins/mods are chill with asking a hypothetical like that? I’m a wimp so I’d go North Korea style free speech but I bet the powers that be on Lemmy are made of stronger stuff)
No you misunderstand. I mean like in Super Mario Kart when Luigi is in the lead and you’re like “that’s so annoying “ so you pull the move that makes him spin out and you get to take over as leader.
Twitter is a shithole for right wing extremism now and using it is basically just willingly ruining your mental health
There’s still a lot of Democratic politicians sadly Xitting about how Elon has too much power while helping keep his media platform afloat while the boosted right wing blue checkmarks get all the top replies.
Just gonna leave this here for no particular reason…Famous billionaires who lost everything: Elizabeth Holmes, Bernie Madoff, Allen Stanford, Eike Batista, Sean Quinn, Björgólfur Gudmundsson https://247wallst.com/special-report/2023/08/23/famous-billionaires-who-lost-everything/
As much as I’d like to believe this… they probably have offshore tax haven accounts with money squirreled away in them.
The thing is, Bernie stole money from rich people. That’s the unforgivable sin.
what’s a paid subscriber to a X account?
A sucker
Well, not that shocked.
We sure it’s not his alt account?
What? Seriously, what? I really wasn’t expecting that? How did you know?
(I’m training for Christmas. Someone asked me for a wishlist because they didn’t know what to get me)
