First of all, licorice is good actually, though black jelly beans are trash.

One time I bought olive flavored gummies from the Asian market because I love olives and I was curious. Absolutely horrible, didn’t even finish one.

The top RPG? That’s a bit ambitious. But I’m surprised it isn’t more popular.

What’s not to get? Someone left my cake out in the rain, and I don’t think that I can take it, because it took too long to bake it, and I’ll never have that recipe again.

Yeah. It got worse slower than the alternative, which is my point. If you’re losing primaries, you don’t have much of an active base. Primaries validate active bases.

Both. Vote your heart in the primary, head in the general. Whatever BS they put out is going to be better than the alternative, but if everyone shows up to primaries it might be actually decent.

This isn’t even time-specific advice. Strong primaries, everywhere, for everything, all the time should be the norm.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Yeah life is rigged. What’re you gonna do, cry about it? Or get all your buddies together and turn to face life, and say “Who the hell do you think I am?”. Row row, flight the power.

Yeah I looked at Cypher when I was looking for a new home after abandoning D&D5e, but the crunch of GURPS appealed to me. I like having optional play tested mechanics for everything, so my power gamers get consistent rulings but my casual players don’t feel too much pressure.

I could name so many tabletop RPGs for this.

GURPS has been my obsession for a few years now. It’s both the simplest, in terms of base mechanics, and most complex, in terms of optional rules, TTRPG I can imagine. It can handle literally any setting, play style, or crunch level with ease.

Yeah but it doesn’t have tech trees or fog of war

Dude…

Why are you telling us? You’re preaching to the choir here bud. Shockingly, lemmings do not determine DNC policy. If you want to complain about that, write DNC leadership. What lemmings can do is vote, and the top comment was directed at those who smugly "both-sides"ed Gaza to discourage voting for Harris. The push for 3rd parties or protest non-voting was an ill-conceived attempt to change the guard.

The Democrats ran their party into the ground, but Republicans are to blame for driving the country into the ground. I cannot conceive of a good faith reason to target the uninspiring neo-liberals before the “populist” fascists.

I’m recognizing that the Democratic establishment is the first enemy that must be defeated before we have a chance to beat the Republicans.

Yeah good luck with that, your logic is backwards. Republicans have to go first, coming to any other conclusion is absolutely batshit. You don’t change the guard in the middle of a siege, that’s how you get fascists in the castle. Oh look, that’s exactly what happened.

And when you spend an entire election cycle smugly both-sidesing to the benefit of a fascist, people are going to call it out when the fascist it helped win does the predictable fascist things everyone said they were going to do. Learn to live with it, or get better electoral strategies. The whining is pathetic.

Lemmy loves moths, moths love fireflies. Transitive property.

This is a little old, but it just popped up on my feed. You might enjoy it.

Broken clock

I suppose there’s Mensa for adults, but again didn’t do that because I’m not a loser, and intelligence is what you do with it not the results of a test. I never bankrupted a casino with my intelligence, much less six times.

It is in the ways that matter here. “Own” here refers to being independent from your parents specifically, not property ownership.

To be fair, geopolitics is complicated. Ever seen The Good Place? I suspect it’s pretty difficult to stay totally uninvolved in war crimes as a major world leader. The Doug Forcetts of geopolitics don’t do much evil, but they don’t do enough good to get peace prizes either.
