Unfortunately our system is specifically set up to encourage very few large parties instead of more numerous smaller parties. And that makes our elections very much an all-or-nothing affair, which probably encourages people to NOT vote.

It’s possible that I have seen more live stand-up comedy than I’ve seen live music.

Crap, any dork who’s run an evil campaign in D&D should be able to understand main character isn’t the same as heroic character.

Should. Not saying that they *do*.

Oh, this is really cool. Hits at my personal intersection of loving ttrpgs and being a taxonomist/information architect.

Thank you very much for making and sharing this!

Heck, I’m rapidly heading toward the latter number. But at least I know who Peter Ustinov is.

To connect that fact to the conversation. You didn’t do that which is why people assumed the reason you made that statement.

People weren’t looking to sling accusations, they were trying to fill the hole you left in meaning.

06.03.2026 04:42 πŸ‘ 10 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Because you gave no context for interpreting that statement of fact or where you were going with it.

If a couple of people are talking about math and I say an isosceles triangle has two equal sides, what I said is factual, but it sure as hell doesn’t mean anything to the actual conversation.

It was extremely unclear. If it wasn’t I wouldn’t have had to ask what you mean.

Heck, you still didn’t actually say I was correct, I’m just assuming based on your responses. It’s not clear communication.

Right? I was ready for β€œgood for its time” and I got β€œoh, this is still fantastic!”

Because your statement was completely unclear as to your intent.

Without any context to go by, it also seemed that you might be complaining that Franken was treated too harshly.

Communicate more clearly.

Okay, are you saying Markwayne should also resign or what?

Show her your business card. It'll keep her distracted.

Any particular focus for the forum, or just general breeze shooting?

Puns, portmanteaus, and all sorts of dad humor.

Roosters are tiny dinosaurs, if that helps visualize how mad that might be.
