A Planescape area/sidequest, just make it so far out there and weird, but let it have almost nothing to do with the main plotline. You find some random portal that dumps you there and it's just this weird sort of thing you get into that you never talk about again afterwards.

Wouldn't want people learning from history, now would we? How else are we supposed to repeat it?

Why don't YOU go ahead and write me up a 2-page essay on why Trump isn't planning a dictatorship, cite your sources. That's essentially what you're asking me to do and it's guaranteed you'll give a short, flippant remark that doesn't actually address any of the issues brought up, basically wasting my time. It'll be a bunch of whataboutism, gaslighting, misdirection, and BS, that's the standard MO.

I can waste my time going through that exercise, but it's pretty clear to any thinking person that that's what the plan is on the Republican side, just look at the words, rhetoric and actions they've been taking for the past 10+ years. Otherwise, you're maliciously asking me to go through the mental effort of writing up an attack on Trump that you've already decided to ignore and/or counter with some feeble bad faith argument. You're a waste of my time and everybody else's.

Biden is well past his prime, had a shitty performance last night, hate his record on Israel, but I’m still voting for him because he’s not Trump and I’d prefer that our representative democracy continued. Moving to a braindead, functionally illiterate dictatorship just seems like an all-around worse move in every respect. Not sure about his chances, but whatever, there’s not really any other alternative at this point.

If/when they screw up gmail, I’m blacklisting Google for good, that’s gonna be such a goddamn pain to disentangle myself from.

Google translate says it means ‘Planetary Defense Cannon Commander’.

Why did it take this long in the first place? We've literally had Russian mercenaries attack US forces previously in other countries, where was the fear of escalation then? Give Ukraine whatever aid they need and stop kneecapping their war effort by trying to micro-manage it.

Huh... if they can attach it to the face... could they attach it to... other places?

So useless that they're probably just going to convert over to AI chat apps and you'll just know from the get-go that everybody you talk to is a bot (instead of just 4 out of 5 users being bots). I'm guessing they'll farm that sweet, juicy user-data from however many years now to train their AI on. Base level will be a semi-interested friend, but the higher-subscription level you pay into will unlock romantic options, naughty (ai-generated) pics, and they'll eventually add a feature where you can go on virtual dates with your AI companion and they can scan your pictures/photos and make comments on what you "saw together" on your date. Maybe they'll even insert themselves into the images to make it seem like they were really there. Hell, they'll probably even get to a point where you can have live voice chats with them.

Yeah, I was wondering which restaurants this guy was able to eat his wife out at. Every time I've tried I get the old, "Sir, this is White Castle, even we have standards."

You could say that about literally any library of books, not just RPG books. Even if I myself may not read the books regularly, I still read them at some point, OR potentially I’m like a torchbearer, I’m just taking care of all these books for the day when somebody else discovers them and is able to read them. I may be dead and gone by then, but I’m doing my part to keep the books and the hobby alive.

Eugene Debs, a Socialist leader in the early 20th century, ran for President five times. His fifth and highest vote count came in the 1920 Presidential election, in which he was running while in Federal prison for sedition. He received about 3.4% of the vote at the time (which included women for the first time since the Nineteenth Amendment was passed in 1920 as well). Not naming names, but yes, it's possible to run for President while in prison, though results may vary.
