My preset pack is updated up to 7.4 for Dawntrail! I'm working on a pack of presets for the normal & alliance raids right now. About 3/4s thru the Arcadion. These presets are for the #dalamud plugin #EasyEyes to make the vfx safer for epilepsy

Bullies like to say that "might makes right" but they don't *really* want to live by those words.

The entire meta of being a bully is based on targeting the weakest people to show that you *might* not follow the same rules as everyone else if you don't get your way. Your transgression, your disregard for social order scares the mass of people into simply giving you what you want **without a fight.**

As soon as people start fighting back? Bullies loose. They are outnumbered.

@syferdet perhaps it is a slow-draw competition
@dysfun not answered by the entry in the family calendar
My spouse's entry in the family calendar is answering none of the questions raised by my spouse's entry in the family calendar
