I'll keep repeating it til' I'm blue in the face - making comics is actually an exceptionally difficult task. I'm quick as hell but each page I draw represents about 10-20 hours of work from writing to final output. I deserve to be paid for that work.

A lot of editors don't even know about media magnification. One of the shocking things - to me - when I left journalism school was how little editors knew about like the study of journalism as a discipline. It's a profession based in norms even if those norms are harmful.
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

So we might still have a t rex somewhere is what I’m hearing
To put it in perspective, the time period between Stegosaurus and T Rex is about 33% longer than the time period between T Rex and today
I don’t know a lot.
But I know a lot about dinosaurs.
Now we all know dinosaurs lived for millions of years right?
But does you mind actually wrap around how long they dominated for?
Lets get a little perspective.
Did you know Allosaurus never saw flowers but T.rex did?

Honestly, I think the people D&D as written is best suited for as players is children.
Because a child doesn't care about seducing the bar wench or engaging in realpolitik with the heads of state.
They want to go into a dungeon and kill monsters with swords and magic.

Yeah, the actual problem with D&D is that it was designed specifically for a game built around fantasy questing and combat, and has gradually expanded over 40 years to include a metric shit ton of other things that it wasn't originally designed for and the mechanics don't really work for it.
This is the stupidest possible angle to take about the very real problem that people want to role play in lots of ways that D&D isnt suited for but D&D has such crushing market share that people shoehorn their games into a system that actively resists them
