I was raised in the UAW, then CAW. And man, comparing the modern UAW to Unifor is really sad. Unifor is so weak in its negotiating stance I could only imagine what Bob White would say about it.

If it wasn’t so sad, it’d be funny. The CAW broke away from the UAW because of real and serious corruption in the UAW which lead to really bad deals for workers. It’s like Unifor is doing the same thing, but without the corruption - just complacency and incompetence.

Literally Bob White. If you haven’t seen it, you should watch Final Offer a good documentary that shows him in action and shows the birth of the CAW.

Hey, Bails!

Man, nice to see solidarity in action. It’s a rare thing in North America.

Reminds me of the time I googled Orc jokes at the Pathfinder table and as I was reading them out it began to dawn on us that these were jokes from 70 years ago, but with the N word replaced with Orc… 😬

I’m on the fence for most of this. As both DM and player, I find 5e incredibly bland and boring. But that’s personal taste really. Adding an additional feat for first level characters would help with the blandness and start to have differences between characters at first level.

But it’s hard to argue with the success 5e has had with attracting new players. I think there’s a good argument to be made that part of this success is due to the simplifications made in the game as a whole and particularly character creation.

I do really like D&D doing the work of bringing new players to the hobby, so I hope it keeps that as a priority.

It’s great when your “union” collaborates with your employer more than the workers. Sounds totally legit. Then add religion into it, well even better. Good grief.

Okay, I figured it out. It goes onto the filament spool holder. Weird.

Dexedrine got me through university, though with some issues.

Obviously, like all the big stimulants, sleep can be an issue.

Exercise was a problem - the revving of the cardiovascular system by the drug was heightened during exercise and not a nice feeling at all.

Your body builds up a tolerance to it, so regular ‘vacations’ from it may be needed to counter that.

It was 20 years ago when I took it, and was covered by a drug plan that only had a $0.35 payment at the pharmacy, so don’t know about the costs. It’s a really old drug, dating back to the late 1800s, so it seems like it shouldn’t be that expensive, but then I’m not a greedy pharmaceutical company, so what do I know.
