  • The article: Rural people aren’t just racist, homophobic assholes - they’re struggling with apocalyptic economic destruction, constant discrimination and hatred, and have fallen through the cracks of society while society stomps on their face.

    The comments: RURAL PEOPLE ARE BAD, FUCK RURALS

    I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them read the article…

    I will say, though, that as much as rural people get fucked out of their votes in most situations, they are vastly over-represented in others. For example, each vote in the electoral college for California represents 703,000 people. In Montana, on the other hand, each electoral vote represents closer to 250,000 people. There’s a strong sense among city dwellers that the rural folk are dragging the entire country into hell just because they’re suffering under capitalism - and they aren’t wrong, in some sense. America’s inconsistent, patchwork electoral system definitely contributes greatly to the urban / rural conflict.


  • TBF part of this is because skill checks are weirdly broken depending on the DM. Either the rogue makes the check for the whole party, so two rogues are competing, or everyone has to make their own checks and the rogues don’t help the party. Rogues worry more about skill checks than barbarians on average because that was their original role.

    Some way to have multiple people contribute to skill checks would be great.
