  • This video, and the book it's based on, unironically started my transition from neoliberal to democratic socialist.

    Which I think is funny, because I don't think the authors, Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Alistair Smith, are particularly leftist.

  • The keyboard is fine, nothing to write home about. The top plate is in 6 separate bits (on the 16 in anyway) and they've got a bit of play, it feels a bit awkward to me, but the trade offs are worth it to me.

    Software/firmware has been surprisingly well thought out, including a very clear picture if you try to boot without all the pieces installed.

    I've had one weird issue with the uefi boot, but that was due to using an old install media, I think.

  • Maybe it's just naivety, but I still hope for a world where people hear him speak, he gets appropriately ridiculed for the bullshit he says, and people stop trying to follow him. If there's any shred of a chance that that's still possible, I think it'd be better that he shows.

  • I don't think this would necessarily be playing to his strengths, look at how effective the "weird" narrative has been.

    Also, almost no one that would vote for Trump is doing so on policy. Sure, she needs to talk some policy to keep moderates (and actual leftists) engaged, but I think there's some need to mock him and his movement.

    To make a bit of an analogy, look at how Gamergate actually ended; it wasn't from crossing any bridge that went too far, or convincing people they were enabling harassment, it ended when Steven Colbert made fun of the movement on his show, and then that got mainstream attention.

  • That isn't how I interpret the ready action. And yeah, there should be a save of some sort even if it isn't RAW, but I think I'd allow it out at my table, it's creative and fun.

    Edit: I reread the rule, there is language for precasting the spell. I stil thinkl it'd be more fun to find a way to hide it, like a stealth check or similar.

    Either way, the fact that casting a spell is an action isn't really a problem here
