I guess riots break out all around the world?

I feel like this idea that people are just going to riot and do mass violence is some right wing fear.

Most people, most of the time, are pretty social cooperative creatures.

One, I don't think RFK believes in HIV. He doesn't believe in germ theory. (Ars is kind of a bootlicker site, but their news is pretty good)

Two, everyone who works at ICE should be shot dead. If we have a future, people are going to look back at us with scorn. "You knew about the horrors that lead up to ww2, and you just sat back and let it happen again?" Basically yeah, we're all scared and disorganized, and about a third of our country are rabid fascists who want this to happen.

Counter-hot-take: Rip the charisma stat and its skills out of the game. It's half-baked as it is. The cha classes can be moved to int or wis.

I had an issue with installing mint. Never figured it out. Got the older LTS and it worked fine though. Maybe try a different version?

I don't think I've ever bought a microtransaction or cosmetic. I'm doing my part!

*Ok, i think I paid like $5 into warframe after 200 hours, and I used some fake money from google surveys on pokemon go, so I'm not entirely without sin.

But it still spooked Wall Street, as parent company Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.’s shares plummeted as much as 10% following the news.

I think our economy might be predicated entirely on stupid.

Also, $80 is a lot when typical people's buying power is decreasing. I think like half of americans can't tank a $500 surprise bill, and they want people to blow nearly 20% of that on a video game? Fuck off, capitalists.

I always encourage my players to paraphrase if they're trying to be more than they are in real life. It's totally fine to be like "I tell him with a lot of big words that he's a doodyhead"

One of my lawyer friends was telling me there's not really a legal mechanism in the US to just like dissolve an organization like the GOP.

Don't signs usually have a line through it when it means "no", or is that just american signage?

Funny, because when I go to the suburbs or other sparsely populated areas, walking around without anybody else feels dystopian. Feels like a post-apocalyptic setting, where everyone else got taken by aliens or plague or something.

We should treat people wearing maga-hats like someone wearing a nazi armband. The outfit is a threat.

And I know if we get through this, there won't be any judgement. People will just be like "oh that's in the past let's just let it be", and people won't pay for their crimes, and the roots of this problem won't be ripped out.

I won't use a urinal unless it's an emergency and no other options are available. They're uncomfortable.

I remember some bar I was at once only had urinals, and I was like "what do you do if you gotta shit??". Apparently the bathroom on the bottom floor had full stalls, but still. Yuck.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
