Paranoia: Core Book vs Red Clearance
  • If you're going to be Friend Computer (the GM), then you have Ultraviolet level clearance and can read everything in the Core Book.

    If you're going to be a Troubleshooter (player) then reading anything above Red clearance is grounds for immediate termination. Thoughtfully, a version of the rule book with only Red-clearance information in it (i.e. the basic rules) is provided to prevent such an unfortunate event.

    Basically, a key component of Paranoia is that only the GM is "allowed" to know the rules - or at least, display knowledge of them. It's a kind of tongue-in-cheek way of saying that whatever the GM says goes, because the players "shouldn't" know enough to argue about it, but it's also fun when players really don't know the full story on various background elements and in-universe "hidden" information, such as the secret societies or mutant powers or contraband technology. So as GM, you should get the Core Book and (ideally) provide Red Clearance books for the players.

  • Banned for not breaking the rules, but disagreeing with a mod
  • The argument for it being Israel:

    • Israel has complete air superiority
    • Israel is conducting a bombing campaign against Gaza
    • Israel has threatened to attack hospitals
    • Israel has previously bombed hospitals
    • Israel has previously bombed this exact hospital
    • The audio and visual characteristics of the bomb and the damage caused (captured by multiple, independent observers) match with a JDAM guided bomb, which Israel has already used
    • Israeli sources first claimed the hospital was a Hamas base or had Hamas tunnels or arms caches, before rapidly rolling back their position to "we didn't do it"
    • It is clearly in Israel's interest to kill Palestinians and destroy Palestinian infrastructure, especially medical services and supplies, because they are conducting a genocide

    The argument for it being Hamas:

    • Israel says it was

    Reddit, or rather reddit-logo, is controlled by the US security state, so r/combatfootage - which banned all combat footage from Palestinian viewpoints - is not a reliable source. The idea that a 'rocket piece' could accidentally fall on a hospital and kill 500 people (a number reported by a first-hand MSF witness) is laughably absurd. If a Hamas rocket could cause this kind of damage, Tel Aviv would look like the surface of the fucking moon. It was OBVIOUSLY another genocidal act by the entity continuously and overtly engaged in genocidal acts. To think otherwise requires you to want to fall for their propaganda. No one in full possession of their faculties looking at the facts dispassionately could possibly conclude it was anything else.

  • North Korea enforces an anti-shorts law - but it's only affecting women
  • You shouldn't! Here is a link to a podcast about Korea, I highly recommend listening to it although I warn you the content is pretty heavy.

    Furthermore, the DPRK is democratic (whereas the ROK was not for the first 37 years of its 70 year existence - and now it's "democratic" the way the US claims to be)

  • How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime
  • YOUR ARGUMENT is that the result of this referendum matters. It doesn't because, as you've identified, both options are the same. As for Hawaiian resistance, they've been fighting continuously for a hundred years and, like every other liberation movement against the USA, have been ruthlessly suppressed by the fascist police and petty-bourgeoise militia of the "middle class". And, like every other liberation struggle, victory is inevitable as the empire continues to crumble beneath the weight of its sins.

    Also, neat how you've got five devoted followers upvoting you within two minutes on every one of your shitty empire-shilling posts for the last several hours thinkin-lenin

  • :let-them-fight:

    For when you spy that fash-on-fash violence.

    (Great minds think alike but this one has no background)
