Had to come in early today to cover for the morning tech support guy (really, I should just call him the tech support guy) who is off today since its Valentine's Day and his wife is going out of town later today. You know what? I fucking hate mornings. Getting up before 8 on Tuesday reminded me of this. Of course, on freaking Saturdays, I have zero problem waking up that early. Dammit.
Been trying to formulate my thoughts on this Dallas situation ever since I heard about it and I keep coming back to "Not surprising." The way the rhetoric has ramped up, especially from the POTUS, about how American cops are racist, bigoted, and evil, I must admit that I've been expecting something like this for a while even as I hoped cooler heads would prevail. But alas, the current POTUS is, at heart, just a community agitator ... er ... "organizer" so he's been throwing nitroglycerin onto a simmering campfire. I fear things are going to get a lot worse, especially if Shillary gets elected (and then, God help us all.)
In our Friday game, we're playing D&D 5E with a relatively new GM, with a fascinating campaign concept: the PCs are legendary heroes pulled from the past to deal with a great threat ... unfortunately, they were pulled from the timestream before they could become the legends. I decided that I would play a Paladin but wanted to do something slightly different and came up with a concept: the Traitor-Knight. Essentially, in his past-future, he would go on to become reviled by most of the populace due to his siding with the losers of the inevitable war that leads to the current status quo. But that's not what this post is really about. Instead, I wanted to throw out some interesting musings on Holy Knights like this.
