Not going to lie, this sounds like a fun game.

If anyone wants to look up the test, there are only two screeners that he would have done, both have some strong overlap. There is the MMSE and the MoCA. it is more likely he did the MoCA, it is the more popular, more commonly given, and slightly better for detecting MCI (mild cognitive imparement). With that said though, you can have dementia and still pass these. There really isn’t a ‘best’ screener developed. This exact problem gets brought up all the time in dimentia research. Basically, if you have strong suspicion they have to go to a neurologist that specializes in memory care and do a full evaluation. Good luck telling trump to do that.

If you want to see them, do a search for it (MMSE or MoCA) and select images.

When I hire contractors, if they are good at the job is the first thing I check. Then, if they are fascist sympathizers is the second thing i check. I want to know and google is stopping my from knowing.

I would argue that both are bad game/story design. Unless the skill is a plot point, it should not change the chance encounters in the world your players are in. Both of these examples are meta-gaming. The NPCs of the world didn’t know the player characters had that ability, and should not change their actions until it is known to them.

I had one DM who was huge on meta-gaming, and at first I thought it was just some peev of his, but honestly after a while and understanding it better- it made a better experience. It now makes me annoyed to see it used and I better understand his rants…

To be fair, gas stoves put out a lot of benzene and are known to increase cancer rates in those who live in homes with natural gas stoves. If anything they should be taxed to pay into cancer healthcare costs.

Increases in other contracts that funnel tax money into oligarc pockets but provide no value to tax payers, decrease in revenue collected to offset expenses due to IRS cuts and tax code changes, and the other big one is from judicial fund settlements that have already surpassed pre trump levels.

I would also encourage people to go to midnight showings of Tommy Wiseau’s ‘The Room’ and watch as people throw handfuls of plastic spoons at the screen. Also fun.

I have a bunch of coworkers who were contractors in a position for about a decade, then transitioned over to GS employees doing the same job. They were classified as probationary due to being “new” to their positions and were put on notice.

You were so right, let me tell you about it. If you can’t stop the entire genocide, then don’t stop it at all. If you can’t stop all of climate change, then don’t take any steps to stop any of it. If you can’t end poverty or income inequality then you shouldn’t even help the starving.

What a cunt.

Biggest argument people are going to have against this is reading the headline and then realizing most their retirement is in the form of unrealized gains. But if you then just read the qualifier of $100 million, you will quickly realize we are not talking about normal people here. We aren’t even talking about normal rich people. We are talking about the 1% of 1% people.
