I don't see how Paldins and Monks are even remotely similar. Monks don't have alignment restrictions, they have a completely different power source, they use completely different stats, Paladins wear heavy armor and Monks wear none...

Monks don't even need a religion. They are not similar in any way.

In Pathfinder, monks must be any lawful alignment. Similarly, a paladin can only be lawful good in PF.

That's about the only overlap I can see. The next closest thing I could think of would be a paladin's spells and a monk's ki abilities, which is one hell of a stretch.

I like sunlight. :(
Why everyone be hatin' on the Sun?
The Daystar is history's greatest monster. Sooner or later, all evil in the world can be traced back to that luminous abomination.

Unfortunately, I need it to persist, if only because my next life goal after "Walk on the Moon barefoot" is "Have sexual relations with the Sun."

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I somehow managed to sleep for half the day. Only intended to have a short two hour nap.

Hot.
When you do, record it. We'll start a porn site, "Celestial Sex" subtitled "You'll see a new side of the stars in the sky".

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.

Some of us have the misfortune of having notably light sensitive eyes. Sunlight hurts. Physically. Sunglasses only help so much.

Also it is hot, and the last thing a swamp needs is more heat.

rain rain stay right here
sun don't come back 'till next year
bight skies, stay away
come and play some other day

They are both classes that gain their powers through the exemplification of their alignment.

Paladins through being the lawful good paragons of their alignment... and Monks through their dutiful mastering of the internal forces within themselves.

Yet, somehow, the two are wholly different mechanically.

Monks aren't even "exemplification of their alignment". It's just fluff. It's like saying Bards are the same as paladins because they are the exemplification of the nonlawful alignment.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

You also forgot that it makes us reliant on photosynthesis. If the sun went out now, we'd all starve. Chemosynthesis would work just as well in the natural cycle without that evil fiery orb of death.

Hey, now, while it's true that global warming wouldn't happen without the sun, that's like blaming Stalin's great great grandmother for all that shit he did.

Well I used to feel guilty for using Ad block devices mostly because I know most sites use it to pay for their websites.

But WOW did I notice a difference watching a video with it on versus with it off.

What is with some websites and allowing adds that basically crash the site?

Money, dear boy. Today's society is a bit rotten like that, and it reflects on the Internet.
