It's the "We support anti-discrimination laws affecting LGBT unless they're based on religious grounds, in which case we totally support them."
I mean, why even draw attention to this? Who does this help?
"Ultimately, most of society recognized that such treatment was simply wrong, and that such basic human rights as securing a job or a place to live should not depend on a person's sexual orientation," said Neill Marriott, a member of the church's Public Affairs Committee.
Mormon leaders still want to be able to hire and fire workers based not only on religious beliefs, but also on behavior standards known as honor codes. Gays and lesbians would have to agree to remain celibate or marry someone of the opposite sex. The church also wants legal protections for religious objectors who work in government and health care, such as a physician who refuses to perform artificial insemination for a lesbian couple.

But you don't get 9th level spells forever with a full party.
this is why you murder your party
or just dont go 6 dudes
i never go 6 dudes even if i have a party just because 3 or 4 is mroe sexual
But the banter!
but the STRONK XP and REDUCED MICRO MONOGEMONT
But the micromanagement is the reason to be alive. Might as well just lay in a ditch until you die if you aren't controlling the actions of all 6 people at all times.

you must have a wildly different definition of heroic
Everybody ever portrayed as good is doing it out of either dogmatic reverence for their chosen god; they're usually extremely xenophobic to any difference in viewpoint (and their dogmas encourage this).
And the Tau are communist fuckers with their horrible caste system before anybody tries to defend them as the "one good force in the universe."
I mean you could claim anti-hero, but there are very few of the normal redeeming features of anti-heroes to them.
heroic isn't good
it's heroic
eg. Achilles is definitionally a hero
he generally mopes about and murders the fuck out of people
There's a hell of a lot of characters like Achilles in the 40k universe
Guys, I have a friend in NY who's fleeing her home due to abuse by her dad. She's at a shelter now. Is there somewhere I can look online for New York resources for this kind of situation?
its good tho. i played on the dark difficulty which made the game quite hard because i didn't jump through the hoops to get the broken dark gear but still enjoyed the game
The Dark gear made it much easier, although it wasn't that much better over the best gear you could get normally.
Kayran was probably the hardest boss for me (running up that rock kept getting me insta-killed), but other than that the only fight I remember being particular hard were the wraiths in the abandoned hospital. I think on Dark, even the proper oil didn't have that much effect, so you had to abuse traps and kiting to kill them, and dodge really well.
Other than that, it felt pretty good difficulty-wise to me. A challenge at times, but not unreasonable (and no bullshit game design moments, hi Dark Souls).
...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

Impossible, no way you beat half the fights in the game like that?
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
i like that wh40k lore rewrote the tau to be more sinister
I loved their ending in the Dawn of War game. It was like, yeah they brought sweet communist peace. But also judged humanity to be too dangerous and instituted systematic programs that eventually lead to humanity dwindling into nothing.

"obliviousness to the warp really is a necessary survival trait, except that if you're oblivious to the warp you get out-eaten by tyranids" was already sinister enough, I think going OOGA BOOGA ETHEREALS ARE PUPPETS OF CHAOS AND/OR THE OLD GODS was unnecessary

dao on nightmare is absolutely trivial if you abuse the right things
on my warrior i just had an auraslave mouge with haste and stacked all the ele damage auras, used the warden dlc attack speed upgrade thingy with 2-handers and literally autoattacked things to death in seconds. using special moves lowered my dps because game design
on my mouge its uhh
any enemy with mana gets 1-shot by mana clash
any large single enemy gets 1-shot by entropic death
any group gets 1-shot by storm of the century or just infinitely cced by dumb aoe cc spam (hi blood magic)
the only need to control other characters is when you want to kill the dragons in 3 seconds you need to get them to cast death hex for entropic death triple hit

Because they are the same thing. But maybe, to the Mormons, "discrimination" is when one denies folks X as a result of being a dick. "Expressions of religious belief" is when one denies folks X as a result of belief.

If you just replace all the instances of LGBT folks with "black people," you'll have the official stance of the Mormon Church, pre-1978.

I'm getting back close to $500 this year in taxes while my wife is getting back close to $1700. We decided to have her claim our first time home buyer's tax credit since it got her more back than it does me. Still, it will be nice as that will pay our property taxes for the year and leave us with about $1300 left to throw on bills, etc.

Not maybe, definitely. They're abusing their religion legally to fuck over people with disabilities and LGBT in their employ.

I played a street samurai who had fractional essence left at one point. But no visible chrome. Just a lot of super scary gun play.
Just to elaborate, the bulk of my income is the GI Bill (full time student) and a slightly smaller but still significant chunk is VA disability.
I work on weekends because, despite having the income to be able to not, I was going absolutely apeshit without some sort of release or escape.
I throw 50% of my paycheck in my "401K" because they match at a certain rate and I'm buying something nice when I graduate and leave this job.
Yeah...doing your W-4 right really isn't that hard.
