It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

.. something. But they don't know what and can't find out but its sitting in their pockets like a strange chekhov's gun. Cause while I could change it to be useful when it eventually gets thrown with one player left alive I'm not going to so they could end up TPKing themselves on accident. is so fun

Not that there have been many sessions but it still kills me that my players stole an orb containing a spell from a lich who was going to drop it if hit to activate it on the players turn, a big brain play that I never would have suspected from my players, so now they have a glass orb that does....

I'm only saying this because if I'm right then its hilarious and its better to take complete shots in the dark sometimes for the hilarity of making them.

Low ground compared to the massive towers you'll end up with, I didn't really use them ether lol. Also if you didn't notice it you can save wall sections as blueprints to copy past them later. It saves so much time when you need to build a stupidly large fortification later on.

I'm sorry but this alt text thing is getting so bad that they aren't even copy and pasting the fucking text. That is by far the easiest thing to alt text, text you yourself are screen shotting. Just turn off the fucking can't post shit you people are clowns.

Really hoping that the Dwarf Fortress siege updates "enemies can now dig through walls." Thing is able to be turned off. Otherwise it means moving forts into the far negative Z levels to avoid being over whelmed rather than living on multiple levels of mountains in the positive Z levels.

Also no shade but it's one of those things that would get votes if Bernie said it sure, but if Gavin said it. Well they won't vote for him because of the transphobia. If The Great Khan said it then they'd cry about the state police or maybe his ties to Israel. Theyll always find a reason to not vote

Candidate at the national stage. They have turned in literally everyone except Bernie. It all comes down to if progressive Ds can fix things, that means voting could have stopped this, which means they are indeed the bad guys for not voting in 2016

We will never stop relitigating the 2016 election

Leftists will find any excuse not to vote for someone with a D beside their name. They will make shit up if they have to, they will do this while screaming in your face that if you want their vote you have to nominate candidates they want to vote for. They will not vote in primaries or boost any

All of the werewolf knock offs are way better. It's the like the game had an idea but not anything approaching a good execution.

I’m sorry, but it’s actually kind of pathetic for people on the left to trip all over themselves to hand a victory to Trump at every turn. I’ve seen a ton at this announcement that Trump is going to pay the troops unconstitutionally, saying it’s a master stroke. Have some goddamn self respect.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 1d

I expect that “should the troops get paid” is something most Americans would support if you polled it without any context.

The average American doesn’t give a shit how something happens, they just want good things to happen, however they define that.

Elected Dems haven’t adjusted to that reality.

It's bc there are so many loud haters that are stuck in that whole "anything teenager girls like is trash" mindset, but the issue is that they are in the minority and don't even know it until they stick their head out and get walloped by Taylor's popularity.

get bonus propaganda from Facebook and twitter can't be ignored and the fact their allies have bought the Washington post and CNN and even NPR is staffed with pro Republican shills. Idk man seems like that is more important that direct donations.

NineBlack @9black.bsky.social · 1d

The reason Ds can lose with more money than republicans is that owning the biggest and most watched news network that pumps out nothing but pro R propaganda for the last 30 years has a bigger affect on peoples voting habits than buying a bunch of ads every other year. Oh and the fact that the Rs

I don't do cover to cover necessarily, especially with games that have 100 pages of spells, but reading most of the book AND then making a character is generally how I do it.

TTRPG Question of the Day

Which method of learning a new game works best for you?

Some people swear by reading the core rulebook cover to cover. Others like to go step by step through the character creation process. Many people find watching an actual play helpful. Which method do you use & why?
