  • Well we didn’t see that enthusiasm for Hillary so I have no idea what you’re on about.

    Also, and I wasn’t expecting I’d have to say this today, women aren’t horses. Additionally, horses are actually pretty egalitarian with their leadership; that’s why they’re such good allies for humans, they don’t mind being led by a person instead of a horse.

    Tl;Dr: every part of your comment is wrong.

    Hmm. I see the argument, but it seems to be more like an issue with pricing than a flaw with HSR. Once high speed track is in service it should be able to run plenty of trains all around the clock, I can see how it could make low speed rail seem redundant.

    I’d think it would make more sense to keep the low speed tracks and use them for freight, and also make high speed rail cheaper to ride.

    Yeah, a bite is more like a dagger than a short sword. Plus barbarians already get an extra +2 damage while raging, which makes their bites average more than a d6 plus strength with the same max damage.

    Beast barbarians can even cause their teeth to grow during a rage giving them a d8 bite attack.

    Whiteness, at least from a racist perspective, isn’t really about skin color, it’s more like a club for ‘approved’ ethnicities. There’s many Italians with darker skin than Mexicans, but Italians are considered ‘white’ and Mexicans are not. Same for large parts of the Middle East and Asia.

    Romani are white skinned Europeans, but they’re not ‘racist approved’, so they make up rumors they’re actually from Egypt and omit them from the White Club.

    The determination for what counts as white is highly inconsistent. Before the 1700s Germans were not considered white. Before the 1800s Irish were not considered white. For a time in the 1900s Finnish people were considered Asian (while many Finns were striking for better working conditions, what an odd coincidence). Italians weren’t considered white until about a hundred years ago. It goes on and on.
