America still operates mostly as a democracy. Excepting a few notable cases elections matter. That's why we had an insurrection: the fascist lost and got angry.

You can argue it's really controlled by special interests but it's still a democracy. Russia doesn't have real elections AND it's controlled by the oligarchs.

Did hobbits exist then? Even if they did, they aren't the type of people to want a ring of power. At best it'd make their pumpkins grow huge and they're feet extra hairy.

Yeah. I was pretty sure the dude in the big hat that was they only direct link to God was infallible.

How are European ones different?

Garages are better than lots. Especially garages under buildings. No Americans have been tricked into anything. None of us have a say in how our cities were designed. That was mostly auto makers at the turn of the century.

Didn't Hank Green make done 2d glasses specifically for this?

Heh. Their palanquin or litter would drop them off and go sit in an alley or street somewhere, probably. Like how carriages in later centuries would.

This needs explanation. Enshittification is a very cromulent word.

Bad faith is trying to pretend that antizionism in 2023 is different to antisemitism.

This argument is bad faith. Or you're just plain wrong. You can pick.

It's actually not that hard! There's only a handful of core rules to know for every session and the rest you can learn as you go.

Attacks and spell attacks: 1d20+prof (proficiency bonus)+ability+special bonuses (items, buffs, etc)
Ability checks: 1d20+ability. If it's a skill check you have proficiency in, add +prof.
Saving throws: 1d20+ability, +prof if you're proficient in that saving throw.
Note: all of these bonuses are summed up on your character sheet under your spellcasting page, your weapons, skill lists and saving throw lists.

In encounters you can do the following: Action (extra attack included in 1 action), Bonus Action, Reaction, Movement, Item Interaction, and any number of Free Actions.

DCs for figuring out how hard something easy:
5: very easy, most people can do this most of the time
10: easy, people trained can reliably do this
15: medium, decent odds if skilled
20: hard, rare success unless very skilled
25: very hard, rare success even with highly skilled
30: nearly impossible, heroic aptitude still fails most of the time
35: godly, the highest DC likely to see. impossible without epic amounts of skill and even then very unlikely. even demigods may fail
