Nothing inherently wrong with taxation. The problems are how taxes are determined, how they're collected, and how that money is distributed.

Nightreign is not worth $30. Especially if you aren't planning on playing with a set group. It's technically solo-able, but much more fun if a full three-person team on chat.

My partner is finally going to college after graduating high school twenty years ago. They were the only one in a college composition class that knew what a thesis statement was.

No, they're going to be adequately desperate. The job market is tanking. Food and housing costs are rising. People getting laid off, trying to find a new career, and drowning in the rising costs may well see appeal in a guaranteed job with guaranteed housing.

Yep. Corporeal punishment doesn't make good kids; it makes good liars and sneaks.

When I worked at UPS, we weren't allowed to have beards and our hair couldn't be long enough to touch our ears. Literally fireable offenses.

I was thinking of that debate show from season three. He'll argue with anyone at any time, except if it looks like he's losing.

You can be cis-het and wear a sundress if you want to. Once you buy one, it stops being "women's clothes" and becomes your clothes.

If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Sounds like Trump is just trying to make sure Lincoln's portent comes to pass.

My partner is playing their first real D&D campaign after years of doing one-offs here and there, and the closed nature of classes and leveling is really tripping them up.

Narratively, it makes sense that their barbarian would want to take some druid levels. But mechanically, they're making the game a lot harder than it needs to be.

Considering placement, I'm willing to bet these are intended for heating the walkway, not people. People with snowy shoes standing around waiting for an elevator are making puddles, and without a heater, the puddles will turn to ice right on the one part of the parking garage that nearly everyone will be walking on.
