Thanks, but I have thr same thing. ChatGPT can be a wonderful tool if used correctly.

I have a d100 list for diseases, curses, mundane magic items, cursed magic items, NPCs, random encounters, and so on.

Whenever my players stray off the campaign, I have plenty to continue the game seamlessly.

I’m a welding apprentice and I just started aluminum MIG yesterday. Today will be continued practive. After work, assuming I’m not entirely exhausted, I’ll be working on writing a D&D campaign for my players.

Doomsday prepping is the answer. Start building up a large supply of non-perishable foods, properly sealed for long term storage.

Have a wide variety of different food storage options. Having nothing to eat but rice will drive you insane (that’s not hyperbole, it’s serious).

Not just food storage, have tons of medical and hygeine priducts stored up as well. Things like toilet paper, toothpaste, wet wipes, ibuprophin, tums, etc. Assume there will be no stores or money in the future, plan acordingly.

Have all of your important documents in paper form. Keep all contact information, passwords, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and other important info on physical paper. There’s a strong possibility the internet will go down for a long period of time.

If possible, download Kiwik. Within the software, you can download all of wikipedia so that you have an accessable offline copy. It’s about 125gb in size.

Start downloading stuff you don’t want to lose. If you have a youtuve video ripper, start ripping videos on how to do things like repair your own car and other repair tutorials. Download videos and tutorials on how to cook if you don’t already know how. Also how to start and maintain a veggie garden.

Have a plan for the electric grid going down for a long period of time. Folding solar panels are a great way to keep phones and battery banks charged.

I could go on all day, but basucally you should prepare for a total government collapse. Internet, electricity, plumbing, trash removal, hospitals, police & fire rescue, depletion of groceries and store goods, etc. I have do doubt we’ll see these things either partially or completely collapse and fail.

As it turns out, having an account on a social media platform full of Nazis, violent racists, and child diddlers is not good for business.

orders requiring the modification of recorded history is not far away.

That has already happened in some red states.

Fanta green apple. I loved it, but Fanta killed it. Now I don’t drink Fanta.

…left your home country and traveled the world.

Honestly, the only reason I’m still on Facebook is because of my local temple. If we could host a private group somewhere else with the same functionality, we’d jump ship in a heartbeat.

No, it sounds like your brother is actually the asshole.

If we’re talking the average working class voter, I hold a great amount of sympathy for them. I really do understand where they’re coming from.

The Democrats are corrupt as hell and aren’t doing a damn thing for the American people. Pre-Trump Republicans are corrupt as hell and aren’t doing a damn thing for the American people. The country is legitimately falling apart and there’s no one to turn to.

Here comes this guy out of nowhere who’s never been in politics and thus not beholden to their corrupt schemes. He’s promising to tear down the whole damn system that isn’t working for the average American. He recognizes and acknowledges the plight of working class America. He’s claiming that it needs to break completely before it can be repaired.

This is the reasoning behind my little brother supporting Trump. He’s so desperate for real change that he’s willing to overlook a lot of Trump’s bad behaviors. To my brother, Trump is a useful wrecking ball, a bulldozer coming to forcefully wipe away everything wrong with politics.

Of course, Trump has no real intentions of fixing anything. He’s just there to loot the government and shield himself from the law. All of the right wing supporters, politicians, preachers, and business execs are just stepping stones.

Reality has a left wing bias.

Its a joke, but not really. If you base your government on the facts of reality, it tends to be perceived as “left wing.”

Why where you there? What was it like? How did you do later in life? And did it have any effect as a adult?

I shouldn’t have been in special education, but I was. Home life was a nightmare. My mom and dad would constantly fight and take it out on me.

That meant once I left school for home, there was zero chance of ever getting any homework assignments done. I would get straight A’s on tests, yet would get all zeros on homework assignments.

The school wouldn’t listen, nor cared about, the abuse going on at home. They were always short staffed and short on budget, so special ed was their bandaid solution.

The special ed teachers ptotested time and time again as I clearly didn’t belong there. Sometimes the class would read aloud a book together. We would go in a circle, each reading a paragraph. Everyone else struggled to get through it, I breezed through it.

The teachers wouldn’t let me participate anymore as I was unintentionally embarrassing the other students. There was no internet or smartphones at the time. So I spent nearly all of high school, reading any and every book I could get my hands on, silently.

Run for political office. The Democrats have no intention of fixing anything, let alone making things better.

And if you believe you’re not qualified or don’t know how to do the job, just remember that both parties are filled with incompetent fools, fakes, conspiracy crackpots, and morons. It would take considerable effort to do worse than some of the people in congress.

According to my sister in law, who’s not welcome at family gatherings, there’s going to be a great reset. Trump needs to be given total unchecked power so he can save us all from… well that part isn’t clear.

One minute she blames the “globalists” (she means the Jews but won’t overtly admit it), the next minute she blames LGBTQ+ people for… existing… I guess? Then she blames immigrants, black people, China, Democrats, Obama, and on and on.

She views Trump as a savior figure. Not necessarily Jesus, but another savior sent by her god. Her worldview and reasoning for supporting Trump is scattershot and in pieces. She can’t form a single coherent thought without spinning off into other unrelated nonsense. The brain rot is real.

To answer your question, I don’t think even she really knows why she supports Trump and the Republicans. She certainly can’t articulate it to anyone.

Do you think that you would keep your integrity and use your money for the greater good, or that you would be corrupted by your power?

I suppose it’s a matter of perspective. Very few people in the world ever see themselves as actually evil. Every villain is the hero in their own story.

But if we recognize basic truths about people’s preferences, I think a greater good can be achieved. Everyone wants a place to call home and good food on the table. Everyone wants good health and to have a sense of purpose or meaning to their lives.

This is universal, regardless of race, sex, gender, nationality, language (I can’t include religion as some religions demand the oppression & extermination of others).

If this were Reddit, opposing the genocide in Gaza and speaking out against the Biden administration for supporting it would get you reported swiftly.

I would teach Shop (that was still a thing when I was in high school in the 90s). I’m really good at making practical things, and making repairs. I would love to teach the basics like how to change a tire and whatnot.

Whatever it is, it always happens with McDonalds beef and no other beef from fast food places.

You’re not going to like this, but keeping a consistent and healthy sleep schedule is highly effective. Going to bed at the same time, getting up at the same time, and getting a consistent 8 hours at minimum is key.

McDonalds beef makes me sick every single time. It doesn’t matter which McDonalds I go to or in which state, it’s a widespread problem with their food.

If I eat any of their beef, I’m guaranteed to spend the next two or three days vomiting and sitting on the toilet. Sometimes both at the same time.
