I have to swap lawful evil and chaotic evil I'm sorry

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I was thinking swapping chaotic good and chaotic evil. Sitting on the armrest is horrible for the chair and liable to injure you when the chair falls over.

Maybe also swap chaotic neutral and neutral evil. Also true neutral and neutral good. I must be getting old, my whole definition of evil is based on the risk of damaging furniture.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I feel like chaotic neutral relies on the sharing of the seat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I'm sorry, I don't understand anything in the image apart from attempting to do one of those matrices like with hotdogs are sandwiches or whatever. What makes a seating position chaotic versus lawful?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'm still lost, or is that just a pun? 😅

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The impossibility of a sensible, coherent answer is part of why I find this stuff fun. Like, one of my friends enjoys arguing "every good is either a salad or a sandwich" and it's a fun false binary to play with (cereal is definitely more of a salad than a sandwich, for example )

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Well pizza is obviously a sandwich

And I don't get the joke, get it? Care to explain it to me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's based on character alignment in Dungeons and Dragons. It's somewhat complicated and I don't fully get it, but the general idea is that lawful characters follow laws (including personal views and societal norms, I think), chaotic characters tend to disregard and even reject them, focusing on their own freedom and behaving more chaotically, good characters seek to help others and follow a moral code, and evil characters seek to harm others, especially to their personal benefits. Neutral characters in an axis behave mostly like normal/average people, generally leaning towards lawful and good, but unwilling to make significant sacrifice and capable of succumbing to temptations.

As for what makes seating positions take certain places on the chart... Yeah, no, it's just personal opinions without too much thought put into a joke. Generally though, IMO, lawful/chaotic would be about following/rejecting the letter of the rule, whereas good/evil would be about following the spirit of the rule. So lawful good sits correctly, lawful evil technically follows the rules but does it intentionally wrong, chaotic good tries to keep a healthy position while ignoring the guidelines, and chaotic evil just does it as wrong as possible.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the detailed answer! 🤝

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

all of them are me after sitting down for like 5 minutes

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

As someone with chronic pain, these are just the positions I cycle through trying to feel comfortable for a second.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

I'll do all of these in a span of 10 minutes

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Chaotic Good is going to break the armrest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

That would be a little... chaotic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It's like a full 2*4 under there. It'll be fine.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Well I guess I'm alignment fluid.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I'm true neutral for sure.

I feel like lawful evil should be switch for chaotic evil, putting the shoes on the coach sounds bad

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do people wear shoes at home where you live?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Some Americans do. I didn't believe it either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

The absolute derangement of Americans truly knows no bounds. /s

Living in Germany, it's always so astonishing to have people ask me whether to take their shoes off or leave them on when entering my flat. Like, dude

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

they're all evil. lawful isn't "less" evil than chaotic. it's just evil in a different way.

all three lawfuls are sitting in a conventional way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I wouldn't do any of the Neutral or Evil ones with shoes, that just feels uncomfortable

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

what are people who sit under cushion

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Abysal evil

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

LG should actually be LN - you’re sitting in the intended and expected position of the chair, following the rules of the chair design to a T. LG would probably be the same position but scooched to one side of the chair so another person could sit, and LE should actually be the same position as well but with a manspread.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Get your asscrack off my chair arm.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Chaotic neutral for me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I knew I was evil, but I guess it’s some consolation that its effect is neutral.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Chaotic evil. Really stretches out the neck muscles and relieves that pinched nerve that makes my hands go numb.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

my feet don't touch the floor in the lawful good position, it's uncomfortable

this is discrimination

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Appreciate the username

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The chaotic evil is a great position for throatfucking. Yeah, I watch way too much porn.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

( ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆ )

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Why am I neutral evil ;-;

[–] drew_belloc 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Even lawful evil? I do that one but it's for a very specific reason.

[–] drew_belloc 1 points 9 months ago

Not anymore but i would do when i was a kid, so yes, but nowdays is normally one of the chaotic ones

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I'm some combination of all three evils and chaotic neutral

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

That's a chaotic neutral for me! Embrace the chaos!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

So I'm a true neutral? I'd never guess that about myself ...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Do you sit everywhere cross-legged, and are you shorter than average?

I find this is most often done by people at least one standard deviation below average height. I’m one of those people. My feet don’t touch the ground sitting normally in normal chairs, and it puts pressure on the back of the legs, making cross leg much more comfortable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Sitting with your butt on the seat cushion seems the lawful option to me, it's being used in the normal, expected way. So sitting however you like - on the arms or top, feet on the seat, upside down would all be chaotic.

Spreading out and taking as much space for yourself seems like the best analogy for evil. Since good is about considering others and the wider consequences, I would think of good sitting as sharing the chair or at least leaving room for others.

I think chaotic good is perfect.

Lawful evil (the evilest alignment) sitting should be full man-spread, a pouf for each foot, giving both fingers to a bunch of tired looking children.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'd usually alternate between true neutral and neutral evil
