How do you say, "downvote"?

If this wasn't today, this might have been me. It was an intrusive thought, and it thought it was funny. And it was

There was one that would have run right by my house 😭

It can be fine to just "talk it out, man", but that runs into the problem where my character on paper has CHA 20 but me in real life rocks a solid 10 CHA. Or the other case, where the fighter with 8 CHA has a salesguy for a player, and he punches well above his on-paper skills using his real life personality, where I'm sidelined.

There is another. I've found that being (imo) charasmatic, and being a charasmatic character, means DMs just talk to me, rather than ever asking for any rolls. Sure, my argument is convincing, but I still want to use my numbers!

Yeah, this is the way. It's better to let the other person do the translating, rather than presenting maybe your ideas by using a translator. It would be like running everything you post through an AI first. Best to give as much intent as possible

Protests in the US are hamstrung by the total lack of a social safety net (most people can't afford even a single day off work), and the massive land area of the country. You might only hear about protests getting to 30k, but that's in one spot. One state in the US is larger by area, and has less options for transportation than a country in Europe, while often being much more sparsely populated.

People here say "Land doesn't vote," to talk about our electoral map, but geography actually does have a major impact on our politics. It's the same reason our right wing likes closing polling locations. They use time and distance to gatekeep political participation

First the US imported the German rocket scientists, and now, as we follow in Germany's footsteps, our scientists will go to China

Fuck, I don't want to be a keyboard pervert, but these are some good points
