  • To this point: for those who think that, do they think anyone else realistically could, at this point, other than Biden?

    Literally anyone born after 1975.

    Look, 45% of people are going to vote for the name on the D line no matter who it is. 45% of people are going to vote for the name on the R line no matter what. That last 10% is who you want to win over. And like, they’re tired of both of them. But Biden is the dude in office right now, so they’re gonna vote for the other one.

    All Biden has to do is say “after some reflection, you’re right. I cannot serve at my best capacity. I’m going to step aside for the good of party and country,” and then they nominate literally anyone under 50. Hardcore democrats are going to vote for whoever is on that line, and middle America is going to see that and be like “that’s the honorable thing to do. I respect that. And I may not know who this new person is, but they’re not Trump” so democrats still have that tired platform without any of the baggage. They would cruise to retaining the presidency.













  • Aha, that’s fair. I got a friend to join my PF2e campaign by saying “the mechanical building blocks are all the same. Roll a d20 and a number, total determines success.” which is, I think, an accurate description despite what a lot of PF2e players will say.

    That being said, you have any suggestions for someone who likes the the tactical nature and crunch of PF2e and doesn’t really have an interest in rules light or narrative driven games (my hot take: narrative drive exists independent of rule set - you can have a narrative driven PF2e game or any other rule system). I feel like Lancer or 13th Ave are probably the most likely candidates, but wondering if there are others.






  • Older me kinda wishes younger me had considered accounting, but younger me was hung up on your first point. Younger me didn’t want a boring job. Older me is like “I don’t have to love my job, I just have to not hate it. I can do the things I love during my time.” And a low key, low stress, high autonomy job kinda nails that. I’m kind of accounting adjacent (data analyst) and it’s working out so far, but there’s probably more salary stability in your career vs mine. The February to May crunch kinda scares me tho.
