Different ways, I usually say boo-jwah, bur-jwah is also one I've heard though.

Forgot WotC. They sent Pinkertons after a leaker and tried to drain every last dollar out of third party creators with their OGL update.

Ah, yeah, I should say my opinion is entirely based around my experience as an American. It's pretty deeply ingrained here- I mean imagine telling an American that they have to tolerate children running around at 9pm in the dark, they can't drive their cars around because the streets are clogged with those children and furthermore, they need to stock up on candy because they will be giving it away to the kids.

And there is a culture tradition of vandalizing the homes of people who are stingy about the candy.

If it were new here it'd never even catch on, just like public libraries.

Yeah but you get to dress your kid up as a velociraptor or a ghost buster or something and then interact with people who live near you in a friendly way which doesn't exist outside of Halloween in this atomized hellscape. Plus it's way more than one day, I'm putting giant spiders all over my place for at least a month. The webs are hell to take down so I might even leave em up through November out of laziness lol

Halloween sucks as a holiday

I've never seen such a bad opinion from a Hexbear user.

You're not wrong

I think he might have gotten you mixed up with the lib you were arguing with.

Okay so if being "authoritarian" is bad and means you shouldn't be supported, and Sankara ran a state, making him authoritarian, by a definition you're now agreeing with (again, anyone who runs a state) why are you pretending you don't think he's an authoritarian and trying to use him as a cudgel against people who actually share an ideology with him?

I think that authoritarian is a basically meaningless term when applied to a states.

All states are in the business of using lethal violence, or the threat of it at least, to enforce their rule within their borders.
