68 billion to acquire IP, but can't afford to pay the people who make and maintain it.

Literally saying "the only solution to kids getting shot in school, is putting more guns in the school... and also fuck trans kids and books".

Nobody is checking the financials of everyone throwing $5 at his campaign, and he's not turning down 1000's of dollars from big donors. He's talking out of his ass as usual, but his base won't think that far, and love the tough-guy schtick.

If I remember the articles being written at the time, his tariffs hurt American farmers by causing China to buy from other countries. He then used stipends to make up the difference to them so they weren't out the money. The result is, he damaged our trade position, used taxes to cover it up, and American Farmers still love him and don't understand they were receiving the dreaded "Guvment Handouts".

The article you're commenting under is about people who care about Palestine.

What a stupid, useless thing to say.

They got a chance at beating Trump, you think?

They're breeding more broke idiots. In 20 years they'll be the new crop of Republican voters, and the cycle repeats.

"Idiots" because of the simultaneous war on education, I mean. Not because they're from Texas.

Can y'all stop with the "oh, because he's white" narrative. It's so fucking lazy and played out. Almost everyone convicted from Jan 6 was white, and they're getting years in prison.

The most likely answer is this one white dude's family probably has money to throw at the court or he has military connections.

We have corporate protections in the USA.

There's truth to what you say, and I'm not personally a fan of any of the Baldwins, but most of the prosecution of this case has just seemed spiteful and nonsensical to me.

Like, there are cases to be made for Baldwin or the production company to be liable, but they seem to be framing everything as him just straight up murdering the woman, simply because he was holding the weapon. I'd say there are people behind the scenes that were much more responsible for the tragedy than the Actor that was in the scene and handed a hot weapon (including Baldwin, the producer not the actor).

The fact nobody knew about the law, it's not mentioned during registration, there is no place for other names on the form, and it's only been used to exclude trans candidates.

Do you understand the words you're using? It's all in the article's outline.

Wealthy people. Broke White people get fucked by the courts too.

There are a few general problems with the idea overall. It's possible to execute them in an enjoyable way, but a few of your ideas are considered "Do-Not's" for inexperienced DM's.

No-win situations aren't fun. If you're planning on running a whole combat where the party has no chance of winning, it's likely they will be frustrated. It removes character agency, and makes all of their decisions and actions meaningless.

You're better off just starting the session where you want, or forcing the scenario early in a different way, than letting them think their actions will affect the narrative when they won't. . It's fine to send them to hell and not give them a chance to avoid it, just don't make them think that they could have, if that makes sense. It's about expectations, if you manage them well, you'll eliminate a lot of disappointment

Don't take away levels, period. If you want to hinder them for some reason, make the class features themselves unreliable. The Paladin's smites don't work in Hell, his god has no power here. Devils resist fire, and have resistance to weapons, etc.

As far as taking their gear, that's not always a bad idea, but you'll get mixed opinions on it. If you do it, make sure they can get it back relatively quick. Don't have them fighting with rocks and sticks for multiple sessions. Maybe one of their captors is looking to escape too, or overthrow the overlord and will get the party's gear if they help. That gives them a choice to make, and you get to throw in some unintended consequences.

If your main concern is on overpowered magic item, my advice is to let it ride. It won't be overpowered for long, and as DM you can always tinker with monster number, HP, resists to counter it. Again, it's a feel-bad moment for a player when you take their cool toys. If it's very disruptive for your game, or you're worried about party balance, then just talk to the player and say you need to nerf it some. You can reduce it's charges or lower the damage dice. Basically anything is preferable to saying "this item is too strong you can't use it anymore".

Hopefully some of that was coherent and useful, but good luck with your game. Hope everyone has fun.

He literally did that in 2020, and what the other responder said, happened. He scheduled his own town hall on another network, and Biden spoke for an hour at the agreed upon debate.

How the fuck is a metal detector going to stop a mass shooting in the first place? Most of these shootings aren't done by current students on a whim. They are ex-students with a vendetta or random acts.

Clear backpacks and morning-metal detector lines aren't going to deter a mentally unhinged shooter from entering a school. I get these parents are devastated, but their solutions don't fix anything, maybe get a few kids suspended for drugs at best.

They did that too. Most ISP'S outside of Comcast shrugged as well. The studios lost this fight almost 2 decades ago.

Funny to watch a fascist state form, just so you can get a hit schadenfreude?

Can we not shit on the kids? His daughter didn't ask him to steal state funds, I assume.

Your virtue signal is a little bright. You should adjust the wattage.

Do you respect Rudy's career?

Shitting your pants in court, doing a presser in a landscaping company's parking lot and doing another with shoe polish dripping down his face shouldn't have partisan opinions. The man is a buffoon. Nevermind all the sexual harrassment, "middle-manning" for Trump's corruption, stochastic terrorism and espionage.
