I think trump might win, and it's due to shitty memory and DND

I was playing DnD with my friends, but unfortunately we are retarded get distracted easy so the whole game we would move nothing.

We decided to remove some of the habilities rolls in orders to make it faster, and it worked. The game was finally moving, and the storyline was progressing like a normal game.

This was all about 2 months ago, nowa few days ago they wanted them back, when I started asking why, they would say shit like:" My character is better now"....

Bro just me an the DM where like...but we did it for the time you fucks. Don't you remember?.....

Either way, we voted they won, we played 3 hrs of game and nothing happened we did almost nothing.

GUESS WHAT, we ended up back to o removing some rolls..... Dude they just didn't remember, and that was an 2months ago

They aren't specially stupid, most of them are average intelligence , but they forget.

I'm afraid that so has America, and we end up with this cunt as president.....fuck me

Uhhhhh…

I’m a little lost on this story.

They removed an element of the game that was slowing the players down but 2 months later the players demanded it'd be added back, which slowed the game down again.

The players demanded that element back because they forgot how much it ruined their game so quickly.

They're saying that people who forget how bad it was to have Trump well somehow get him back into office.

It isn't a super direct analogy.

This sounds about right, but OP could really have done with double checking their post before submitting.

Reads like a drunk text.

Sure it is. The DND players are "Muslims for Trump"...
Cause we all know Cheeto would have definitely stopped Israel after the initial retaliation.

I write these sometimes. I guess one of these:

  1. very tired

  2. lil drunk

3)non-native speaker

  1. Not an adult.

I've done that a few times where I'm completely baffled at the thought process behind someone's post. Then I remember I might just be talking to a 14 year old, and suddenly it all makes sense.

Yea, that's a good assessment also.

Definitely has a I'm 14 and this is deep vibe.

?

I think what they're saying is that Americans don't pay attention and forgot how terrible the Trump presidency was because it's been a few years. Most people think that "we're better now" and any major issues have abated without understanding that nothing has fundamentally changed. Because of all that, Trump will win the election. The DnD portion of the post is just what got OP to think about this.

Sad thing is that there's merit to the argument. It's the old trope of "Americans have short memories."

I think Trump will win the election because of manipulation through targeted social media activities, if not direct manipulation of the results, but that's just me.

Off topic but DND kind of sucks as a rule system, and you should probably look for something that's a good fit for your group out of the box.

Fate is very fast and pretty free form. Also free.

There are so many things these days which co-opt and diminish our ability to pay attention and focus, it wouldn't be all that surprising if it's also affecting memory.

The book Stolen Focus goes into these issues, but diet, air pollution, smart phones, social media, and instant gratification tired to consumerism all diminish our ability to focus.

Don’t forget, the GOP will be winning control of the Senate pretty soon, too.

Public Education has failed us. Either that or autocorrect.

Jesus fucking Christ I'm Portuguese go fuck yourselves whenever you learn another language.

Dumbasses can't talk more then one language and still bash. Go fucking home

In fairness, I assumed you were American too, because you said "we end up with this guy as president".

Well i don't really appreciate the geopolitical control the US has over the world. But for better or worse Europe and The US are in a "ride or die" type of situation

I think that ironically plays into their point, because they didn't even pay attention when making this post about people not paying attention

I just want to point out that in Pathfinder there is a good mechanic for selecting presidents.

I feel like this post is going to get some people very wound up. Therefore, I'll just say this. Trump isn't unique and the attitude many see in him isn't tied to a political party.

DND players wanted to try to play.by the full rules again and learned that it wasn't working out despite the reasons they thought it might != People re-electing a criminal into office

TDS is a condition for which you could seek treatment. Stop letting orange man bad occupy space in your brain.

I am always puzzled by what they fear. My life was pretty good under Trump. I didn't vote him but that doesn't change nothing major changed under him. We didn't start any new wars. The economy was good. I still can't figure out what I am supposed to fear unless it's just irrational fear.

Did you hear about that COVID thing? And how ineptly Trump handled it?

I think he handled it very well. We had a vaccine in record time. I am very pleased with the way it was handled.

Then you're not very smart or observant.

Please tell me what I miss oh wise one living in their mothers basement.
It’s easy to throw insults but can you actually articulate your point.

If you missed it when it was happening, I doubt my recounting will move the needle (because again, you're clearly fucking dumb). I like how you throw an insult while condemning my insult. Top notch logic there brainiac. I actually live in your mother's basement. You should call sometime. She worries you've been eating lead paint chips again.

I did quite well under Trump. So no I don’t get the fear and you can’t articulate how Trump hurt you. So I guess we will leave it at that.

I did quite well under Trump

Well that's certainly all that matters. 🙄

How were you suffering under Trump? My taxes went up significantly under Trump. Otherwise, everything else was fine.

and yes, that certainly doesn't matter. Life isn't a team sport. I am responsible for the success of my family and myself.

.... And fuck everyone else.

Yeah yeah, I'm familiar. You sound like a proper conservative.

Well if they can’t articulate how they were personally harmed by Trump then yeah. People give the president too much blame or credit for things. Trump raised my taxes like crazy but otherwise I have no complaints
While I say Biden created the inflation. Truth is he played a minor role it. If trump wins again. Not much will change. If Biden stays. Not much will change. Congress is the one with the power to change things and they haven’t done shit in years

If Do you honestly think Trump hand anything to do with the vaccine?

Yes. Only an idiot would think otherwise. He started project warp speed to make sure resources were dedicated to it. It was all over the news.

It’s called warp speed.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_SpeedAnd it wasn’t just Pfizer. lol. Keep trolling. Have a good day

Your boy was suggesting people inject disinfectants. He was the worst thing that could happen during a pandemic.

He did not such thing lol. And he’s not my boy. I didn’t vote for him.

I’ll add, that your boy had nothing to do with the creation of Warp speed either. It was members of his administration working with other non governmental organizations across the world. All that fat piece of shit had to do was sign a paper.

The supreme Court swung to the right and roe v Wade was overturned, for one major thing. There have been rumblings of attacking same sex marriage, too.

Also there was a coup attempt.

I’m glad scotus went to the right. Finally someone to push Congress to do their jobs.

That's not really how this works in theory or practice, and many people will suffer needlessly in the interim.

That’s exactly how it works in theory. The court for to long as been creating laws. That’s not their job. They’ve been working around congress not doing their job. Go read what rbj said about roe. It should have never been decided the way it was and I support abortion.

What the court has been doing is pushing back on Congress. Now as voters, we need to push back on the people we elect.

Most people are partisan hacks and don’t really understand how the system should work. They just hear roe was overturned but never actually read the decision. They just listen to their echo chamber for how they should feel.

If we want America to get better. We need people to do their jobs and congress had 50 years to make a law and they didn’t.

You know how the economy sucks now? That’s the aftershock of what Trump did.

We all called it a bad idea then to lower interest rates to zero and then we had a global pandemic. What do you do about a recession when you can’t lower interest rates?

Also: Muslim bans, the rise of racists and Nazis in America, 1mil dead from a pandemic because the Motherfucker couldn’t say “wear a mask”, leaking secrets to Russia and god knows who else, hoarding PPE and then reselling it to states, plus the guy is a socially backwards embarrassing blowhard boomer idiot. He doesn’t know how shit works and is yes-men sycophants are in his ear with their own ulterior motives when they’re not busy sucking him off.

I’ll take sleepy joe over that any day of the week.

All the tds cracks me. We have lower inflation under Trump and overall the Country was running fine. I didn’t vote for the guy but you just showed it’s fear for fear

I didn’t vote for the guy

LOL. You clearly did.

Nope, I did not. Didn't vote in 2016 but thanks for trying to argue about something you have no clue about. I think it explains why you can't articulate how Trump hurt you.
