[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

I have a disclaimer that I don't vouch for anything I post being true - I only post because I find it funny or interesting to discuss/think about.

I’m fascinated by the extent of the disconnect from reality conservatives are having over the Martha’s Vineyard story, everyone I know is talking about how horrified and disgusted the residents are by the migrants and how they immediately became racist when their isolated enclave was “invaded” and it’s like not even the least bit grounded in the actual response. The projection is just off the scale on this one.

sh*t like that makes me really pessimistic about the political situation in the US. It kind of doesn't matter what the truth is. One side is just making up their own reality. Where do we go from here?

One side is just making up their own reality

Since 2015...

Since Reagan's "Welfare Queens."

Sure. But, this seems like a whole different level these days. "Welfare Queens" didn't lead to an attempted coup, that I recall.

Yeah like most problems with the GOP it started with Reagan but has gotten exponentially worse in 40 years

Nah, Trump would have just stayed on the plane since it was raining.

Hmm. In the current climate we are in I don't like that.

Well you are welcome to discuss and debate anything I post like the title of the group says but I am not going to stress about verifying and fact checking posts in a community forum dedicated primarily to gaming.

Oof.

This seems to be in direct opposition to the spirit and intent of the D&D subforum.

If that is the intent then I will refrain from posting anything I do not independently verify.

Part of me thinks I am being petty and I probably am but I honestly don't see anyway to verify random political pictures I see on IMGUR. So I don't know how to both honor the spirit and intent of the subforum and post pictures' that are not fact checked.

If feels like a time to walk away for a bit.

Well I hope you reconsider. The site is better for your contributions. I'm not about to spend hours on Imjur or Reddit, and appreciate having a handful of the best dropped here. Everyone knows they're reposts and that you're not some sort of independent journalist. Not sure where the disconnect is.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that most political memes are flexible with the whole concept of honesty, truth, ethics, morals, facts and peddle heavily on humor and emotional triggers and often overlook actual details on purpose for the lols or hyperbole. They're the flimsiest extrapolation of what could potentially pass for opinion pieces. If people want to spend their time fact-checking, go right ahead and battle uphill as much as you like, however, it's not necessary here. Feel free to post whatever you like so long as the dudes abide (by the CoC).

I would also suggest remembering the old adage "rts/repost/shares/likes are not endorsements." Sometimes we share things to laugh at them with others, and it's fine to ask someone why they shared something or if they believe it, but I think it would be best in a goof thread to assume people are sharing things for goofs.

Ok...

I will say this one last thing - if anyone wants me to remove any image just say so. It is about having fun so I am always willing to do that so we can all have a good time.

Well I can personally verify that this did, in fact, happen during the royal funeral yesterday and yes, she was one of the 20% that flops out nude.

It’s okay cuz’ she ain’t got no soul.

If you love CorncobUK TV shows it's time to call Sky and tell them "No!"

I apologize Farley, that was not the intent of my response.

Only to clarify, it was more that when presented with information that called an image into question, your response took the tone above. Just felt a little... I dunno, "this is a games forum, who cares about what's true?"

I know you're not like that, so that's probably why it concerned me. Again, sorry man, I wasn't intending to make you feel attacked or put down. FFS, your posts are far too often the only thing in any given day that makes me laugh.

NP. I overreacted. I was probably just "hangry" so I bought a Snickers and feel much better!

Republicans are mocking Martha Vineyard Democrats for calling out the national guard to deal with the asylum seekers.

Of course, Martha Vineyard can't mobilize the national guard. Only a governor can do that (or a president if the NG has been federalized).

And Massachusetts has a Republican governor.

They ignore that part.
