Even without the ratcheting, assuming the percentages are well calibrated, it works on everyone equally no matter your financial situation. A wealthy person paying tens or hundreds of thousands of euros for going 5km/h over the speed limit learns the lesson very quickly.

In some countries, the fine is not defined as a definite amount, but as a percentage of yearly income. In Finland, a mild speeding ticket is half your daily income. That means for Musk, if he was caught speeding there, would have to pay ~38,000,000 EUR as a mild slap on the wrist.

Newton is for throwing with intelligence

And when payment was late, that resulted in the first recorded labour strike

That’s the most jew argument I’ve heard.

If you want to point to Israeli tactics, call them Israeli. Conflating Judaism and Israel, making them one and the same, that’s doing Israel’s work for them.

So I guess copyleft licenses like CC BY enforce mandatory ads, by your logic?

It’s steam keys you aren’t allowed to sell cheaper elsewhere. Which makes some amount of sense: sell your game 30% cheaper elsewhere? None of their business. Sell a steam key 30% cheaper elsewhere? You’re using their download servers, infrastructure, social features, etc without giving them their cut.

Looks like we share the same brain cell, just opposite polarity xD

I was making a joke :D

I guess this is why /s is so prevalent these days, it’s very easy to be wooshed.

No, it’s JFK

The reason why I love the 10 point difference rule is that it makes every buff on your allies and every debuff on your enemies feel super impactful. A bard in DnD giving a +1 to hit feels very meh, but a bard in pf2e doing the same thing gets to be like “I did that! I’m helping!” when an ally crits on an 18 instead of a 19 due to that +1.

While true, it basically never happens that such a massive power imbalance would happen in a real campaign outside of either a set-piece where a PC tries to punch a god, or a comedic moment where a toddler tries to slap a PC. You’re basically never going to see a 30 point difference between AC and +to hit.

The old 3.5e frenzied berserker Barbarian was fun. If you run out of enemies while frenzying, you start attacking your own party. Had a wizard in the party with calm emotions prepared at all times just in case.

That campaign ended when we entered a cave, and a goblin archer hit me for 2 damage or something silly. Failed my will save, started frenzying. Wizard, in a panic, cast light over the archers so I could see them. My character leaped over a gap, needed an 18 to not fall to his death. Proceeded to slaughter all the goblins in 2 turns.

Wizard cast calm emotions, will save passed. Proceeded to jump over the gap again and massacre the party. Last other PC bleeding out on the floor, and goblin reinforcements arrive. My character tries to jump over the gap again, finally fails the athletics roll and falls to his death.

Nobody could breathe due to laughter for quite a bit after that. The silliest TPK I’ve ever seen.

Personally I view it the same as giving medicine to a baby. They don’t understand, sometimes you have to make decisions in their best interests.

Key point: in their best interests, not for personal gain.
