@ActionEconomy @threadreaderapp Call of Cthulhu has you potentially advance in every skill you successfully used in the session.
@ActionEconomy @threadreaderapp At the end of the session, you roll a skill check against every skill you used successfully, and gain 1d10% on failure.
@ActionEconomy @threadreaderapp So you'll advance in 1 in 4 sessions where you try using a skill you're at 50% on, but only in 1 in 10 if you're at 90%.

*It actually is that the subway isn't crowded, rush hour crowding was higher in the 1970s and rush hour ridership peaked in ~1989.
In 1990, the subway had 900-ish million riders. In 2015, it had 1.7 billion. The entire difference was off-peak, esp. for non-work trips.
Amidst a near-doubling of subway ridership and hefty increases in commuter rail ridership, metro area mode share has barely risen.

In case you guys don't click all the links in my posts, I managed to slide in a reference to this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhineland…
You see, on their way to conquering Jerusalem and massacring myriads of its inhabitants, the savages ("crusaders") did a trial run.
On their way from France east they passed through towns in the Rhineland and Palatinate with Jewish centers and committed massacres.

1. Thread about why we see so much incoherence from working-class movements in Europe (i.e. right-wing populism).
2. People in the income distribution's bottom half have 3 ways to get ahead: economic growth, income compression, higher percentile rank.
3. Economic growth in a developed country is capped by the general state of technology growth, around 1.5-2%/year nowadays.

The Real Reason They Hate Nuclear Is Because It Means We Don't Need Renewables

My latest column for @Forbes — please share!
forbes.com/sites/michaels…
@Forbes 1. Why is it that, from the U.S. and Canada to Spain and France, it is progressives and socialists who say to care deeply about the climate, not conservative climate skeptics, who are seeking to shut down nuclear plants?

forbes.com/sites/michaels…
@Forbes 2. After all, the two greatest successes when it comes to nuclear energy are Sweden and France, two nations held up by democratic socialists for decades as models of the kind of societies they want.

WOMEN WITH POLITICAL POWER 101:
Observe the patriarchal propaganda machine make war through powerful Disgust Campaigns against Warren, Harris, Abrams, Duckworth, just as was done to HRC. Disgust is a strong emotion that permanently marks the victim, who cannot ever recover.
Stories will be planted, twisted, embellished to manipulate noncritical thinking and negative emotions. Attacking a leader's strong moral qualities (e.g. Swiftboating of Kerry), will be most effective. Watch for Repub Disgust Machine to plant such stories about Warren, Harris and
then repeat, repeat like a drumbeat rhythm, esp stories that resonate in primal emotion centers in brain, to create Disgust. The stories don't have to be true, they just have to be repeated. Eventually they will cause the Hillary Effect, feeling Disgust for someone but being

Modi and BJP won because they defined a lot of demons to the common people:
Political Corruption,
Corporate Corruption,
Islamic Terror,
Christian evangelism,
Engineered demographic changes,
Illegal immigration,
They fought none of these demons visibly head on.
The BJP kept convincing people that they are not a part of the same demons- that they are not corrupt and they are not supporting some of the other vices, but they never are seen as actually and effectively fighting and containing these.
No guts, no glory.
The Gandhis, Vadras et al are still free,
Was Vadra's 'security screening exemption' removed finally? If it was, was that advertised as loudly as the exemption was??
The 2G and Coalgate scamsters were allowed to go free,
What happened of the Adarsh case?

Some few years ago, whilst conducting a research about traffic laws, I stumbled upon a blogger's extremely and vividly apt description of road users' attitude in the country. Just encountered it in my archives again and would love to share
Below are the observations of a foreigner residing in Jos, the capital city of Plateau State. Christie Winkler on her blog “Those Winklers” wrote:
1. Lanes are discretionary and surely one more car can fit – even if yours is going the opposite direction.
After all, every Nigerian driver knows to expect traffic from any direction at any given time. If there happens to be lines in the road, feel free to disregard them to turn, avoid potholes or get to your destination sooner.

This is the summation of APC’s 2019 campaign and everything else is less important.

They won’t discuss Issues, Infrastructure, Good Governance, a united Nation or the Economy; just Corruption and many will be swept away.

For PDP, presenting a canonised Saint won’t even help.
The key reaction for voters therefore is to ensure that 2019 is a wide-ranging conversation on all aspects of nation-building including but not limited to corruption.

The key reaction for PDP is to focus on its own areas of strength and turn out its own base as best as possible.
Pursuing new voting blocs, organise in the media, trend hashtags and all that is good but turning out the base is the most important task of the party and its candidate.

Any candidate who worked against PDP in 2015 will likely lose the core voting base of PDP to apathy.

One year ago, @Reince tweeted that the GOP had “a revolutionary data program” resulting in them “carrying WI for first time in 30 years.”

Attached was this article that said these “Data Operations” helped Trump win WI & will used for the 2018 midterms.

👉host.madison.com/ct/news/local/…
Trump won* WI by just 22,748 votes.

200,000+ in WI were unable to vote in 2016.

Along with MI & PA, WI was one of the 3 swing states that gave* the EC to Trump by a scant 78,652 votes.

All 3 States were among the 39 states reported as hacked by Russia.

Exit polls are a scientifically proven litmus test. In 2016, they were off by as high as 10%

Anything above ~2.5% indicates suspect anomalies. It triggers other countries to nullify elections.

In the swing states of MI, PA, & WI—all were all above 3%.
