I still don’t count this as a Mario game. It’s a ‘Legend of Mystical Ninja’ game, re-skinned to sell to American audiences.

Still fun.  Just not Mario.  Not really.

This. I have a guy in my personal group who is a lot like you describe. He’s random, chaotic, takes near-sadistic pleasure in breaking the game every chance he can... he’s the ultimate DM headache.

And he’s my favorite player at the table. Why? Simple; he understands what your boy here doesn’t. Chaos in the game world…

You could always try the tougher version of stat generation; Flat 3d6 with no drop. It’s much less forgiving than 4d6 drop low, and not anywhere near the level of customization found with point buy. Or you could try the standard array (15 14 13 12 10 8) which is what I always use for test builds. This gives you 2 very…

There is one, and it’s coming.  Second American Revolution.  Tyranny is precisely what America was founded to protest.  It’s the cycle of history, and it was going to happen eventually anyway.  2020 will be the trigger point, no matter what the election results are.

Key word in your argument: ‘legally’.  In his mind, the law is whatever he wants it to be, because he has unlimited power.  He’s said as much, more than once.  And when you consider that he’s backed by the NRA and their rage-fueled gun maniacs... it’s more likely than you think.

2020 will be the foundation of the Second Civil War, no matter who wins.  If Trump wins (entirely possible, as he lost the previous election but ended up in office anyway), the only way to remove him will be by force.  If he loses (which he will), he will ignore the law, and the radical gun-nuts that make up the…

Impeachment would take longer than he has left in his current term, at this point.  Get him out, THEN bring the criminal charges and invalidate his entire presidency over the Russian interference, and give him the only suitable punishment; erasing him from history except as a cautionary tale.

It won’t happen. First, the incumbent almost never loses. Second, he stole the election once, and he’ll steal it again. Third, Democrats still haven’t learned from last time that they need to get all their ducks in a row and support ONE candidate, not split themselves within the same party. Half or more of the Bernie…

I’ve said it before, I shall say it again.  There is no place for censorship in a free society.  The amount of it that we see in recent years just cements the fact that America is no longer ‘the land of the free’, if indeed we ever were.

Thoughts and prayers are what gave us Trump and his ilk. Get off our collective butts, find ONE Democrat we can support, suck it up even if they’re not perfect, and vote The Orange Buffoon out.

But we won’t do that, because that would make sense.

One is qualified, if somewhat shady at times.  The other is Trump.  Not even remotely alike.

Indeed.  Neighbors to the north, take notes and learn from our mistakes.  If anything good is going to come out of this dumpster fire, let it be that other people learn from our failure.

Similar feelings, being an Illinois native in Florida at the moment.  I’m deeply ashamed of my home state, and even more ashamed of my current one.  But if we don’t stick it out, the scumbags win faster, and I don’t go down without a fight.

As much as I hate to agree with anyone who gets a blurb in Barf Bag... reparations for slavery ARE bullshit. Why? Simple. I’ve never owned a slave. No one in my family for eight generations that I’ve been able to track has owned a slave. None of my POC friends have been owned as slaves. I don’t owe anyone anything for…

Linguistics is a hobby of mine, and I fail to see any possible way that the word ‘petulant’ is at all gender-loaded.

*loads up the Queen soundtrack again* And another one down, and another one gone. Another one bites the dust!

Hey, in this shitstorm of a dumpster fire, I’ll celebrate each and every little victory, no matter how petty.

This.  I’m not a woman, so I can’t speak about birth control specifically, but I share the same allergy meds story.  When a formerly prescription drug goes OTC, the prices to the consumer go up.  Sometimes drastically, as in your case.  Maybe the number doesn’t seem like much, but that’s a 10x price hike.  And that’s…

The only thing even remotely approaching a positive is that it wasn’t school kids.  Maybe, just maybe, when it’s government offices that are getting shot up, the governments (state, local, federal, whatever) might finally get off their collective asses/heads and do something about it.

Of course there’s such a thing as ‘toxic femininity’.  You see it everywhere, packaged as ‘princess culture’.  The idea that, because you’re a girl, you have to fit a certain feminine mold.  And we don’t address the toxicity very well for either gender.  That’s the point; it’s why we call it ‘toxic’.

Counterpoint: Perhaps if these nigh-universally common devices weren’t artificially inflated to the $1000 price point, we wouldn’t need articles about how to clean them safely, because we’d be willing to take more risks.
