It’s true the public, as a whole, isn‘t savvy about fiscal policy, but even the masses understand that high gas prices are connnected to Iran.

The poll is about the *president’s handling* of inflation, not inflation itself. Unlike Carter and the 70s, Trump’s policies largely *created* the problem, and he demonstrates daily that he doesn’t understand that (or much else). That explains a fair amount of the discrepancy.

But that’s not “all that can happen.” The vast majority of big hit series build their audiences over multiple seasons. STRANGER THINGS, referenced elsewhere in the thread, is a perfect example. Its audience nearly tripled between S1 and S4. GoT’s audience grew by 6x between S1 and S2.

What the UK calls a “pub” is only a subset of what Americans call a “bar.” There are many types of “bars”— singles bars, dive bars, “clubs,” sports bars, etc. Many of those exist in the UK too; they’re just not called “pubs.“ Bars that function much like UK pubs aren’t uncommon in the US.

It won’t surprise anyone to learn that RFK is also wrong about the measles death count. There have been 5 measles deaths in the USA in just the last 18 months and there was another in 2019.

There *was* a Taco Bell on Broadway (north of Dicks) up until the early 2000s. Also, it takes about 10 min to drive the entire route depicted on the map. Mix and his posse certainly didn't take the direct route between the landmarks mentioned in the rap.

Obama nominated a relatively conservative “moderate“ to give Rs the choice between confirming that nominee or facing a much more liberal nominee after Clinton’s (likely) win. We can critique that strategy, but it was certainly coherent. Unlikely to work, but there was no clearly better alternative.

Go to GMail In your browser. Hit “Settings“ (gear icon at the top). Hit “See All Settings.” Scroll down about halfway to “Smart Compose” and set to “Writing Suggestions Off.” That worked for me.

Has anyone done a deep dive into the funding? We heard that a bunch of corporations are paying for it, but the details were scarce, and the size/scope has since increased multiple times. Who’s holding the “donations?“ What’s the likelihood taxpayers get soaked for much of the cost?

Time for Hollywood stars to put their money where their mouth is. After decades of wearing pins to the Oscars and giving speeches, they can finally do something. No bankrolling fascism. No projects for WB or Parmount. 20-30 big names could blow up both studios.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

I think some adventures were better than others throughout the 5e era. Lots of factors influenced that: team size and bandwidth, changing audience, a couple experiments that may not have worked, etc. Complex topic

The product was certainly never intended to be any sort of “coda” to 5E. We never saw the revised core books anything but a continuation of 5E.

Had Chris led it, I don’t doubt he would have picked up the thread of the obelisks he placed in his earlier adventures (and I like the ideas he lays out), but that wasn’t the original intent. Not sure why the staff drifted away from my brief, but Im sure they had their reasons.

Lots of cameos from D&D notables. The campaign book was also supposed to include guidelines for incorporating your own home brew world(s) into the story. The final battle was to take place in the dungeon below Castle Greyhawk, where everything started.

I wrote the original brief for this product. It was originally supposed to be a campaign that celebrated D&D’s 50th by sending the players on a tour of all the classic settings we reintroduced for 5E—Ravenloft, Eberron, Spelljammer, DL, and, of course FR—to battle a multiversal threat.

Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE. ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.

In theory—but in practice, almost certainly not. Most of the offenders are also subject to state charges. (Which is the easiest way to get them, btw.)
