And threatened to kill a pair of cops who said they wished they could do shit like he did, very directly.

They WANT a shutdown, because then they can scream about how BIDEN ALLOWED THE GOVERNMENT TO SHUT DOWN!!!! The mistake of many people lies in assuming that the GOP, and Trump's campaign in particular, hinges on or really cares about truth.

Considering the Klan is recruiting there now...

Oh definitely. Dude thought "wow this is my chance to be a hero", I'm sure.

There's two things in most prisons that will get you targeted: fucking with kids and fucking with animals.

Behind the Bastards did a great two parter on how liberal media basically let Mussolini and Hitler rise to power unchallenged because they were so busy trying to appear "fair" and "neutral" and "objective" even as journalists and editors were being executed in the streets.

To be fair, if I'm NASA, who's had two fatal incidents with known damaged spacecraft, I'm also not sending two astronauts down on a known damaged spacecraft.

It wouldn't have surprised me if WOTC dropped D&D as a brand if Honor Among Thieves had flopped.

And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers "well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years".

Yup. The trans community has been doing this with HRT meds for YEARS because it was either straight up illegal, or almost impossible to obtain access because of the dozens of hoops you had to jump through.

My issue, as a younger grognard, is that point and click character builders and sheets have led to a lot of players who don't actually understand how to play the game without their buttons. They don't get what I mean when I say "roll a spell attack" unless they have a button that does it. They don't get how to build a character outside of something like D&D Beyond where it does everything for you.

Really the only trend, from my friends and coworkers who have done wine tasting, is that once you climb above the absolute bottom tier, the field is...kinda flat until you start paying hundreds per bottle. That $14 Yellow Tail white will, without a lot of outliers, taste just as good as a white that's $150. The more expensive one might have a more depth or complexity, but they will be fairly easily comparable overall.
