"Critical Race Theory"; it's a college-level class about how racism affects the recording of history, but the term has been misappropriated for several years now to mean any acknowledgement of the USA's past (and current) struggles with racism. The Civil War, Jim Crow Laws, and the Civil Rights Movement are all getting lumped together with the term (as well as other major events) and has been used as an umbrella term to restrict schools' abilities to teach those subjects.

So it's too much work to list the fees they're already changing people? Makes perfect sense, just like how grocery stores don't show the price of each item until you're already checking out.

Oh man, I've been seeing signage for this all the time during my commute; this will apparently cut out a whole half hour from it, so I'm glad that it's finally reaching this point.

Unfortunately, it seems most politicians are Ghost types, since it never seems to affect them.

I once challenged myself with building a Wizard that was mute; Catapult was my primary damage-dealing spell (along with some cantrip that let me make a shadowy thing that could hit anything near it).

What if... they both only tell lies? No "one of us" about it, and it would totally mess with players' heads.

Put a stop sign over the current stop sign that says "stop posting "stop posting""

I'm really into the swse (Star Wars Saga Edition) system; it's fairly old at this point and been out of print for a decade, but it's talent system and ability to really customize your character has always appealed to me. So much so that I made the Saga Edition Wiki and a Saga Edition Character Generator just to facilitate ease of use.

Pretty sure that Fallout 2 is more a direct follow up to 1 than the other games (isn't there a sidequest that directly explains how Fallout 1 starts?) But other than that, there's only a couple references in 4 about 3 and New Vegas to the originals.

Interesting that Waypoints is both newly created and so close to finishing; most Kickstarters launch for about a month or so, which makes it especially impressive that it took the #2 and #1 spots respectively. I'm also super glad you included a filtered projects section for TTRPGs, because Aether Nexus looks right up my alley and I'm definitely going to look it over now.
