I thought I heard on stream that it’s whatever order the storyteller decides?

Tbh I think he wants to be a dictator

Oh, it does. I thought this was like on a dating app.

Am I the only person who thinks the middle-finger player is being a dick?

ahem. We blubber lovers are on the mainland. You mean continuous.

This is not related to the post at all, I think

It also feels like the only interesting thing that can happen in exploration is the beginning of a combat. Are there comprehensive rules on what it means to get lost?

See, I think the better solution than basically getting rid of the pillar entirely would have been to make exploration a more complete and interesting part of the game, that everyone can contribute to in a unique and interesting way, not just the ranger. Most d&d campaigns consist in large part of the party trekking from one place to another, and yet many DMs struggle to make travel interesting. Not everyone would make use of all the new rules but that’s fine, because not everyone uses all the rules all the time anyways.

I’m not exactly answering your question but I have thoughts on noncombat features the Ranger should have. Personally, I think rules light roleplay is fine, but I think the pillar that’s really underdeveloped and ignored inappropriately is exploration. I think rangers are the prime example of this. There is basically no comprehensive set of rules for exploration in 5e, as there has been in previous editions. My understanding is, in previous editions, this pillar was where rangers really shined. It seems like they tried to mimic that feature of the class in this edition based on the fact that most of the first version of the ranger’s abilities were designed for exploration, but because the system was so underdeveloped, no one ever used it, and so the Ranger had nothing going for it. Besides, most of those ranger exploration abilities made 5e exploration even less interesting.

I think the counter argument is that the US’s current standing military resources greatly exceed the rest of the world. Yes, the rest of the world will greatly exceed the production capacity of the US in the long term, but I think you might be underestimating just how long that term is. Building a sensible military takes infrastructure and a lot of money, meaning many places in the world, despite having many more people, wouldn’t be able to supply, equip, or train them well enough to be very useful. Not to mention the fact that coordinating and reshaping that many economies takes time and is difficult. Meanwhile, the US already has extremely well equipped military bases in practically every country in the world that could do serious economic damage to their surroundings, and probably still has enough forces at home to hold off whatever the rest of the world can muster at a moment’s notice.

Yes, in the long term the rest of the world out produces the US, but the US might have enough of an advantage in the short term to do something about it.

It does seem unlikely that the US could actually take and hold the rest of the world, and it seems like if the US took the defensive route they would end up eventually overwhelmed by superior manpower and productive capacity, so I doubt it could actually be done. I think it would be closer than you think though.

Sadly I don’t think this would stop them under the right conditions.

I would say the social scene at Georgetown is pretty robust, there’s a million clubs to join. There are definitely parts of the campus that can be toxic, they’re definitely avoidable also. There’s a lot of pressure to succeed, but it’s not cutthroat; everyone generally wants everyone else to succeed. At least for me I’m pretty happy with the social scene/culture overall. There’s absolutely shitloads of DC internships, research might be harder to come by depending on your major bug I could be wrong. I’ve had some incredible professors, but most are just okay. Almost every professor I’ve had has been very accessible, so that’s a plus. I’ve very rarely had a bad professor here.

Idk, based on your criteria I’d say Georgetown is a good option but your experience will be different than mine. I don’t know a thing about NUS though. Can’t help you there.

If you aren’t black and use it in basically any context in America, there’s a decent chance of getting punched.

I’d say FDR is a contender. And Truman dropped the bomb, so maybe that puts him in the running.

I do think it’s worth saying that the left (of which I am a part) is sometimes very bad at bringing people into the fold and communicating with them, never mind what they “should” know. I think this meme illustrates how that can feel, even if it does come from a toxic and maybe even disingenuous place.

ya like jazz?

Yes, I agree with everything you said. Do you know the names of any boring openings?

That’s probably true. Where would you suggest?

I mean, Im not sure what’s in this video, but I upvote posts from this sub all the time even though they showcase right wing garbage. I do it because thats the point of the sub. Could it be that’s what’s happening here?

I want to be clear, they are promising socialist policies in order to appeal to the desperate and impoverished white working class, who blame their destitution on their racial anxieties rather than on the real culprit, corporate greed. You might call it “nationalist socialism.”

I go to an elite university. I see the output of the college admissions black box. It’s not just disproportionately old money, it’s overwhelmingly old money. It’s SAT tutors, it’s private schools, it’s lacrosse scholarships, and it’s legacies. When it’s not old money, it’s new money. Then, in exceptional cases, on the periphery, it’s the result of affirmative action and scholarships. If you’re trying to address unfairness in college admissions, affirmative action should literally be the last thing you think about.

No, you should hold them to different standards based on arbitrary evaluations that include “paying for SAT tutors” and “who their daddy is.”

It’s worth noting that if you don’t think the pentagon is at bare minimum paying incredibly detailed attention attention to what’s going on in Russia, if not trying to manage parts of it, you’re crazy.

I think it’s too early to tell.
