Oddly, Venom isn’t a movie made by Marvel, so it doesn’t tie into the MCU movies, or at least it didn’t until a cameo in the last Spider-Man movie. Not sure what part of Venom 2 you are talking about since I think I only watched that once back when it first released.

This is the community chalkboard that was built following the 2017 clash of Unite the Right rally protesters and counterprotesters that ended up with a vehicle being driven into a crowd, killing one and causing severe injuries to 35 others, as well as 14 other injuries unrelated to the vehicular attack. 2 state troopers also died in a crash of a helicopter related to the events.

I believe I responded to the other comment you mentioned.

That this was even purposed is a dangerous attempt to test the waters or perhaps just distract from everything else that is going on while also giving those loyal to Trump to show that publicly with low risk. This is not normal.

This seems like theater, though not without potential harm. An amendment tailored made to exempt only Trump from the 22nd amendment would be an odd one to see ratified by 75% of the states.

To clarify, you think Obama being on the ballot would be the last straw before violent uprising against or violent repression by the existing administration? Or the removal of term limits?

I agree with most of this. I would rather have seen Bernie in 2016, but timeline jokes aside, we got what we got. I am not trying to ignore the past so much as look to the future.

Even some of the most established dictatorship and oligarchy governments in the world still have elections, though they are probably not free or fair in all cases. So, yes, I think there will be an election of some sort in 2028, if only to assuage the international community. I admit that I could be wrong, and that the possibility is very scary.

“All words are made up.”

Legitimate question: if there is a change to the term limits on the office of POTUS, passed by GOP to enable another Trump run, wouldn’t that also allow Obama to run again? If yes, what are the pros and cons of this? Just trying to game this out.

You are correct that the actions you listed are not attacks, but the Invisibility spell says …

The spell ends early immediately after the target makes an attack roll, deals damage, or casts a spell.

This whole sentence is a way to check your ability to avoid interactions with the world by being invisible while still interacting with it.

Some interactions bend this rule. Not many break it with a fair DM. The closest I have come was an Arcane Trickster character who can cast Mage Hand (which had Invisibility due to a class ability) then potion of Invisibility. I could use the Mage Hand for the duration of the spell … but then I couldn’t recast it without dropping Invisibility.

You mean the clit mouse?

I was actually thinking about a high elf rogue that has high wisdom and uses True Strike every round. 2024 True Strike is great.

The well never runs dry. I play one shot games every other weekend and I still don’t ever seem to run out of character ideas.

I played a Hobgoblin Barb Bladesinger who did this as a higher level of blade dance. Lots of synergy actually.

It’s absolutely allowed.

It’s not as good as previous versions but I am running stock android and I have wifi power saving and phone (background) power saving modes available. I just checked and the estimate of time until zero percent battery goes from 22 hours to 28 hours with the node that limits backup processes, and that is with 59% on the battery.

There was a power save mode on my old phone that made everything grey screen and stuff that was way better. I think I enabled it for a camping trip once and used like 20% battery in 3 days.

That isn’t funny and you shouldn’t make jokes like that.

It was a ❤️ loveseat ❤️.

I would 100% enjoy playing at your table. I’m all for anything that makes the game more enjoyable for the most people, just as you said.

The only thing that really bothers me is when people have problems with a game and don’t talk about it, opting to just flake on the game instead. It’s all about communication.

If you want to play with house rules, that’s fine. If nobody at your table has any problems with this, you are golden. This is a fairly common house rule and CritRole (Mercer) uses it quite liberally.

As someone who disagrees with critical success/failure on skill check rolls, I would like to better understand your position. I feel reliable talent and other abilities like it are diminished by this house rule. What would you say to me if I was one of your players and brought this up as an issue?

I went back to watch both trailers today after seeing the movie last week. One is a lot of plot points but jumbled to make it somewhat unclear (by design?). The other has what you would expect to be full scenes that I don’t even recall from the movie. The full plot is not more than hinted at in either. I enjoyed the movie, and having seen a trailer didn’t take away from that at all, in my experience.

Again, the disclaimer: I agree that plot revealing trailer suck. I typically avoid watching trailers in theaters by looking at my phone or whatever just to distract myself, and never watch trailers at all outside of theaters.

I agree with your overall sentiment, but I actually was thinking about the trailer I had seen for The Fall Guy as an example of a trailer done with a little more care, before even reading your post. I thought The Fall Guy trailer was cool in that it made you think you knew the whole story but it was a bit of an intentional misdirection. I would have bet $20 going into that movie that I knew the plot … and lost. I will add the disclaimer that I am typically trying not to pay attention to trailers because so many of them do spoil the movie.
