Has there been any confirmation of this cease fire from any more reputable source?

I realize that's a low bar.

That's not my idea of liberty at all. But you can't say the ballot box failed, just because the people elected the worst president in the history of people in suits.

Also, that whole thing is nonsense of the highest order.

the only time I was ever hesitant about a vaccine was the smallpox vaccine that they brought out just as I was enlisting. It was widly reported that it was risky to take, as it contained actual virus, rather than just the recognition bits.

In retrospect, I have no idea if the reporting was accurate, misinformed, or fearmongering. But at the time, it worried me.

Because we don't want them doing surge pricing.

Disagree. The DM should provide some sort of reason for the party to come together. Some sort of external influence, to bring in any characters that don't start the game together.

But it is the duty of the player to roll with it. Don't fight the plot hook. What's the point?

This is an abomination.

Put it in the pile with the others.

Is there some reason we want brands to join the conversation?

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 5 points 2 weeks ago

More or less. No bonus points for me, I guess.

You need some kind of cue to keep in step. If you can see the other guys feet, that helps, but often tinted you can't. The sound of yourself matching helps, but without some occasional cadence, or other governing factor, the speed of the match tends to change in a collective sort of way. My BMT platoon would get faster as we marched, unless the DI shouted at us occasionally.

Realistically, by way of being the political equivalent of a fleet-in-being.

Mostly, though, by way of ducking up anyone who looks like challenging our putative superiority.
