you feeling passive and overwhelmed, because that's the only way the gang ofncrooks that is taking over your county can get away with screwing you all over.

Don't let them. (But be smart and peaceful about it)

It's precisely "because this isn't a movie" that civil society should be doing so much more. Peaceful protests, general strikes, pressuring congresspeople and senators to do their job for once.

Unlike a movie, just standing by and watching the horror unfold will have real consequences.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter much, because this is one area where digital tools are clearly superior...

Firefingers, it would go somewhere else.

Additional lists can of course always help, no matter what organizing principle you pick for your inflexible printed database. I'd be all for an additional strictly alphabetical list for those cases where you somehow know the exact name of a spell, but not

by spell levels actually has mechanical meaning and thus value. E.g. are you a DM that wants to create a magic item that mimics a spell? browse a spell level that matches the power level you had in mind.

Alphabetical order otoh has no meaning, it's just random. If Burning Hands were called ...

I preferred those AD&D books. At the table as a player you know which level your spells are, as that is also how your character sheet is organized.

So what other use cases should we prioritize? Imho players levelling up and picking spells is one such case. Ther's also the benefit that organizing

weirdly specific areas.

Like the stubbornly alphabetical-first spell list in the PHBs. What a fun time for new players who just leveled up and want to pick new spells that happen to be spread all over the (alphabetical) section! Spell level first, then alphabetical order would make much more sense

Some cases may be less clear and one could imagine homebrew world lore that would justify having all Zombie versions of creatures under Z.

But I agree the MM24 ordering of monsters is bad and disregards imporant real-world use cases, making weird assumptions about users with amazing memories in

Zombie / Undead is an optional little trait for creatures that are defined by there essence (a Beholder is something very different than a Human or a Giant).

In mechanical terms, a Beholder Zombie is much closer in CR to a Beholder than to a Zombie Frog, so it makes more sense to group the former.

I'd say Zombie versions of monsters are variations of that type of monster, zombified monsters aren't variations of the typical Zombie. I doubt people think "oh, let's put some sort of zombie creature in there, hmm, maybe a Giant, a Beholder or a ZRabbit, rummaging through the Zombie section." 1/n

The main issue is that the USA under Trump (and ofc Russia) can't be trusted. Doesn't matter much if it's their commitment to NATO or some new promise of a security guarantee (they broke their last promise).

Imho NATO is still the best security guarantee available, thanks to its other members.

I have no idea why I may have been locked out, other than liking a fact checker's account's post about the German lawsuit, as well as liking posts that criticized Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine and the current US administration and maybe that caused 3/n

I don't think I want to share sensitive facial data with a #bigtech corporation like meta.

Funny coincidence: a bit earlier today, aware of the class action lawsuit in Germany vs. meta's illegal data collection practices, I asked the Swiss Federal Data Protection Commissioner's office if those 2/n
