Nightwing: I was- So fucking mad. I had like– 4'11 of pure anger and visceral violence.
Redhood: So you were like a mini Batman?
Nightwing (chuckling): Don't do this to me
Red Robin: Sorry- Sorry- (chuckling) Continue.
Nightwing: So- I was like- So, so fucking angry. And I told this lady- a nun–
Redhood: A nun.
Nightwing: Of course it was a nun- It's fucking Gotham. I told her how mad I was... And she- She puts her hand on my shoulder, right?
Red Robin: Right.
Nightwing: And she tells me– "Would that make the people who's gone happy?" "Would that bring them back? Would you like to take revenge on who has wronged you? Or save the people from going through the same?"
Red Robin: Damn.
Nightwing: Yeah.

this would you rather be a robot or a clone poll is bringing up the exact kind of shit im talking about when i say that individualist thinking makes people approach fictional philosophical scenarios in illogical at best and at worst truly deranged ways. like "if you're a clone you're not really yourself you're someone else" so you're saying your biology determines who you are? that's really interesting that you think that
If a landlord is in financial stress due to an investment they chose to make they can sell one of their multiple properties (that's if the tax deduction from negative gearing isn't enough, because our tax system spends more helping landlords than it does on any other aspect of housing support).

Also the course is specifically on maori world views in regards to land and working with iwi and maori clients, so it's not even like she's being taught about maori "religious" beliefs that could conflict with her own.
Obviously, DnD characters are wish fulfillment and lots of people don’t want to address the slow senescence of the vulnerable human form in their fun games. That being said, narratively, I do think that levels should probably fluctuate over the course of a lifetime. The level twenty world-saver is going not going to stay level twenty into their old age—that’s not how athletes and retirement work! Wisdom and Charisma casters maybe, but your STR/CON/DEX builds are going to soften with age. They might still be the spryest bastards in the old people tai chi group, but “terrifyingly in shape 70 year old” is not the same as “deadliest man on the planet”. Drop those old folks a few levels, give them some creaky bones and presbyopia. It’s good for them, promise.
