I get annoyed when people say things like "big deal, just do xyz yourself, why are you complaining?" . Because making a clear and comprehensive game is WOTC's job they are being paid for with our money!

If the system has a flaw, it's their job to fix it, if they don't they're doing a bad job.

That being said, 5.5e has been pretty cleaned up in this aspect. I'm honestly shocked at how they both added new fun systems and codified a lot of vague mechanics.

I feel like an average person or group of people are of average intelligence.

But huge masses of people? They begin to adopt emergent traits that cancel out individual intelligence. It's why foot traffic can be modelled as a liquid. Or why the entire field of economics can exist.

This makes large public masses have predictable behavior that's exploitable by grifters, demagogues, and propaganda.

If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.

He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn't make him a good puppet master.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it's stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.

I don't think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it's value to come back and buy it on the cheap.

There are multiple cases where pure chance and human hesitation prevented all out nuclear bombardment in the Cold War.

So for that alone we are extremely lucky.

This would he concerning if I wasn't convince that Walz would sit him down and correct him like a disappointed father.

If anyone could make a politician seem like a child to their face it'd be him, and especially if that politician is Vance.

Humans have advanced far but hardly changed.

I don't find them funny but more amazed that we've distilled the concept into an immortal simple symbol.

Like kilroy or the cool S, loss will ironically never be lost :.|:;

I for one believe Bugs is Cis and thus is the worlds biggest drag queen icon.

Hopefully the loopholes of executive power that enabled that crackpot plan will be closed up by then...

Yeah I know, a lot to ask for.

It was, infact, not all good there.

From a game theory perspective, a trumper discouraged to vote is worth 1 vote, a flipped Republican vote is worth 2 votes.

So the appeal to the right makes sense if it works, because every vote from that camp is also a negative vote from Trump.

I have the hope that she'll end up being more progressive after votes are counted.

Partially because she has Walz which is a good sign, but mostly I'm hoping for hopes sake. 🤞

This is dumb, I deeply love it.

This feels like something an incel would seriously suggest.

When you want to be like Putin so badly you adopt his leadership style:

While watching the debate it was funny watching Trump say she'll end fracking like that's a bad thing (though even with green energy, I do admit we'd still need it for plastic).

I joked "next he'll attack her by saying she'll drive up green energy" then he literally did. Said she'd return to windmills and dare to use desert land for solar panels, oh the humanity xD.

Thing is Trump made his most ridiculous statements highly memeable.

"They're eating the dogs!" is gonna live on like "They're turning the fricken frogs gay!"

That might draw enough of the disinterested crowd to figure out what happened that night.

Or in some cases might crash 8.5 million computers worldwide.

Yes the Crowdstrike crash was caused by going 1 past an array length, caused by a magic number index and a regex mistake, and wasn't caught because the tests didn't work.

The whole thing was a compound series of amateur mistakes, but with kernel access at boot time.

As a pansexual I feel that Bi and Pan have enough differences to both be justified while the others are micro labels (not invalid, just less useful as labels).

But I recognize I'm drawing that line very conveniently for myself.
