There is a lot at play and misunderstandings are not just uneducated people vs intelligent paragons of virtue and science. It’s a human thing. It is exhausting to analyze and question everything. I know I don’t have the energy. But persuasion and bias and propaganda are huge and in our...

Well, researchers massage and torture the data to make it fit. You have to know how to spot the BS. But pundits and talking heads say wild things that don’t make sense and don’t get called on it. I have ideas about stats in sports too. They can actually factor out the era of the players in...

I think not. I watch the news and analysis from a variety of viewpoints and it is abysmal. Abysmal. And I would add it’s not viewpoints that I just don’t happen to agree with. And it’s not just crackpot fringe sorts but even the presenters.

People, even some smart ones do not always understand statistics.

Driving to work today listening to satellite radio..going between news stations, getting pissed off. Angry texted my small cabal of pals and vented. My pal texted back: “don’t fill yourself up with that. You have no control and it won’t help. Turn it off and take in small doses. He is right.

Acknowledging reality is not synonymous with enjoying it.

D1-2… Just wow. The imagery and the fiction are just wicked cool. I am more impressed with gygax’s game fiction than his game design. Big fan of that… The hindsight bias with game design stuff is a call to arms for armchair quarterbacks everywhere. But the cool worlds…evocative...

I worked at a pizza joint and u could make your own little pizza for lunch. I used anchovies and acquired a taste for them…haven’t had them in decades but still remember them!

I would not want to put up with the customers. But of course I would thank folks for nine years of employment and make the move. Unnecessary…

You are probably right. But it does look like he is going into something different. And social media has a long memory. I don’t have “sympathy” for WOTC/Hasbro and am not rooting for them. But if it’s a discussion about what happened, cannot see how insulting people with money in general or...

Of course. Anyone who is involved with hiring wouldn’t prefer someone who has a documented history of beefs with previous employers. In an interview the last thing you ever do is badmouth prior employers. Is this lost lore?

So he is only talking about billionaires? Pretty idiosyncratic use of the term in my experience and I have a graduate degree in business in addition to my field. I am probably not fluent in internet/economic outrage, which I admit. Also, which year of his employment there did he have the...

Are there any “regular people” among the shareholders? Like 401k sorts? I know, this will be translated into some sort of elitist statement, but I hope my retirement account and those of my loved ones do at least passably well. Radical, I know. 🤷‍♂️ Whatever helps you sleep I guess

I am yet to read much about the nitty gritty of D&D 2024. That is to say I looked at the art and watched preview videos but have not followed along with the nitty gritty class changes. In this time of transition for many I am in a weird spot. It seems I keep stumbling on new character ideas...

i i like my wieners fully dressed if they are at new destinations… Wait…what are people discussing? I should leave now probably

I always feel like an outlier in such discussions because I too like all kinds (hold the pineapple though)! Same with beer. I drink “good” beer especially on tap. But I have some silver bullets loaded for grilling this weekend. I like a nice steak but if someone hands me a fast food...

I have enjoyed your tactical examples. Never even tempted to play a trickery cleric so it’s fun to see the possibilities!!!

Yeah—-I recently read Tolkien did want unrepentant bad guys who were uh, disposable targets…

Major turn off…I am not very inspired yet. But I am not going to dog it until I see more of it. Even then I really don’t want to do that. I may just stick with 5e. But the flavor is not consistent with me or my group’s desire for fantasy. Its good! And I like the covers but eh…

Haha funny I would pay good money for updated graphics or rules… I bought up Goodman games conversions and really like my amped up gears of war 3 for my HD TV… Update away!
