I know this has been pointed out, but…

He has no experiance in ever fighting anyone or anything

Nooooope! He can fight. You’re an adventurer. Maybe you come from humble roots, but you are now a roaming mercenary who fights for money (and maybe a few other things). Make sure you can work with the rest of the party. Make sure you bring value to the group both in and out of a fight.

As for the character concept…

in a world with bards, there had to be critics too, right? So this character had a weekly column in some newsletters published from town to town (is that a thing?) and developed a reputation for being a snob. He barely ever hands out a score higher than 6 out of 10.

His only real talent seems to be intuitive analysis and articulate critique - skills that have helped him at what he does…

College of Eloquence Bard. Just don’t play him elequent. Instead, use his great powers for “evil” (not literal evil). To tear down the art of others and crush the confidence of his enemies into dust.

When Giants attack, he makes them feel small.

When Gods rage, he gives a solid, “meh…6/10. I’ve seen better.”

When Barbarians rampage, he makes them cry

“It stinks!”

“Post names and addresses of jurors” is a really wordy way of saying “terrorism”. Because that’s what this is. Someone, or a small group, is trying to use fear to affect the decision making of our society.

That is textbook terrorism.

We need to start calling this shit what it is.

Then you’re voting authoritarian.

Don’t fool yourself. The math behind FPtP voting doesn’t end any other way if you vote 3rd party.

You do understand that the choice you are essentially voting for, if you don’t vote, is a fundamentalist dictatorship that will tell you how to live your life, and imprison you if you don’t obey, while taking your freedoms and wealth anyway even if you do. Yes?

Apathy is fine as long as both parties believe in running a democracy. The gop no longer does.

My only complaint with jerboa is that it keeps forgetting my login details.

I use a password manager. I don’t know what my lemmy password is. I just know it’s really long, so logging in requires owning up a second app, searching for lemmy, copying my password, going back to jerboa, and then going through the login flow.

Well, parties don’t fight for what you want. They’re too big.

Representatives fight for you. That’s literally their job.

I have a congressional rep for the district I live in. I make sure to attend one town hall every year to make myself heard and let him know what I want him to fight for.

And even then, he has to take the wants and needs of roughly 130,000 people into account.

I’m not saying that you should let your kids starve. I’m saying that this situation has been engineered on purpose, and that it perpetuates itself by design.

If I could, I would stand in line for you. I can afford it.

But I can’t. Legally, I can’t.

One of the choices is literally a fascist dictator wannabe.

There is no third choice with a chance in Hell of winning.

For a lot of people “unpaid time off” isn’t a favor. You’re asking them to pay to vote.

Sorry, but voting is a civic duty.

Not a pastime.

Not a hobby.

Not a privilege.

A duty.

Republicans win when you don’t vote, and they get you to not vote by making it difficult, if not dangerous.

Just remember, not voting will only ever make things worse.

I cannot vote for you.
