Healing Potions That Scale & Are Easy to Remember: Hipsters & Dragons
  • I think a lot of people already house rule that drinking potions is a bonus action. As far as making them more potent, I think that kind of misses the point. They're not supposed to be a replacement for a healer. They're great for making sure you don't die, or for getting an unconscious character back up. Fancy healing potions are great, but the cost is prohibitive for a reason.

  • What's a British TV show that the Yanks did better?
  • I think this is due to the actual societal character of the British compared to us Americans. We just can't seem to genuinely pull it off because it's somewhat counterintuitive to the way we're raised socially. Try as we might, we may come close, but we seem to always miss the mark, even if the differences are hard to put a finger on. That's just my opinion.

  • What is the psychology of people who idiolize mass shooters, sees them as heroes and replicate their acts?
  • People require validation of a sort, and when they don't get it, they can take many different paths. Some choose to take the vengeance route to reciprocate their feelings on others. Some just get depressed, and of course there are many other things individuals can do as a response to a lack of validation. Then there's the facet of mental health problems which could, or could not be mitigated.

  • they just want the fighting to continue
  • Let's not strawman and say I'm excusing war crimes. Hamas and religious extremism are the enemies here. Innocents, non-combatants should always be left unmolested.

    However, the fact that you call the Islamic agenda of exterminating the Jews "hostile rhetoric" is so naive. It's basically ignoring what every Islamic state actually does and says. You're dismissive of one of the most important facets of the entire conflict.

  • they just want the fighting to continue
  • Kind of forgetting the rest of the Muslim world that wants Palestine obliterated and all jews murdered. It's literally what they say out loud. It's part of their strictly adhered to religious doctrine. Now tell me what a Muslim theocracy would do if Palestine was obliterated. Would they welcome the progressives and LGBTQ+ crowd with open arms? I honestly want to know your thoughts.

  • How poor is the average American?
  • That's just false. There are vast rural areas and communities in every state. If you think it's only in a select few states in the middle of the country, then I have a bridge to sell you.

  • How poor is the average American?
  • Don't confuse the difficulty of unionization with the lack of need/want. Most states are "at will", which means they can pretty much fire you for whatever, whenever. Couple that with low wages and poor social programs, and you have a vast amount of workers who can't afford to go on strike.

    However, many of us are living comfortably, with decent wages, insurance, and paid time off. Folks from other places really tend to forget how many people are here, and just how varied the situations can be. It's not dire for many of us, but if you're on the bottom, the struggle is nearly insurmountable. Which, unfortunately, is by design. We're working on it though, just don't equate tv shows to an accurate depiction of a country of 300 million.
