I was playing DnD with my friends, but unfortunately we are retarded get distracted easy so the whole game we would move nothing.

We decided to remove some of the habilities rolls in orders to make it faster, and it worked. The game was finally moving, and the storyline was progressing like a normal game.

This was all about 2 months ago, nowa few days ago they wanted them back, when I started asking why, they would say shit like:" My character is better now"…

Bro just me an the DM where like…but we did it for the time you fucks. Don’t you remember?..

Either way, we voted they won, we played 3 hrs of game and nothing happened we did almost nothing.

GUESS WHAT, we ended up back to o removing some rolls… Dude they just didn’t remember, and that was an 2months ago

They aren’t specially stupid, most of them are average intelligence , but they forget.

I’m afraid that so has America, and we end up with this cunt as president…fuck me

      I think what they’re saying is that Americans don’t pay attention and forgot how terrible the Trump presidency was because it’s been a few years. Most people think that “we’re better now” and any major issues have abated without understanding that nothing has fundamentally changed. Because of all that, Trump will win the election. The DnD portion of the post is just what got OP to think about this.

      Sad thing is that there’s merit to the argument. It’s the old trope of “Americans have short memories.”

        I think Trump will win the election because of manipulation through targeted social media activities, if not direct manipulation of the results, but that’s just me.

    There are so many things these days which co-opt and diminish our ability to pay attention and focus, it wouldn’t be all that surprising if it’s also affecting memory.

    The book Stolen Focus goes into these issues, but diet, air pollution, smart phones, social media, and instant gratification tired to consumerism all diminish our ability to focus.

    Off topic but DND kind of sucks as a rule system, and you should probably look for something that’s a good fit for your group out of the box.

    Fate is very fast and pretty free form. Also free.

    Don’t forget, the GOP will be winning control of the Senate pretty soon, too.

        In fairness, I assumed you were American too, because you said “we end up with this guy as president”.

          Well i don’t really appreciate the geopolitical control the US has over the world. But for better or worse Europe and The US are in a “ride or die” type of situation

      I think that ironically plays into their point, because they didn’t even pay attention when making this post about people not paying attention

    I feel like this post is going to get some people very wound up. Therefore, I’ll just say this. Trump isn’t unique and the attitude many see in him isn’t tied to a political party.

      I am always puzzled by what they fear. My life was pretty good under Trump. I didn’t vote him but that doesn’t change nothing major changed under him. We didn’t start any new wars. The economy was good. I still can’t figure out what I am supposed to fear unless it’s just irrational fear.

          I think he handled it very well. We had a vaccine in record time. I am very pleased with the way it was handled.

        The supreme Court swung to the right and roe v Wade was overturned, for one major thing. There have been rumblings of attacking same sex marriage, too.

        Also there was a coup attempt.

          I’m glad scotus went to the right. Finally someone to push Congress to do their jobs.
