Idk. I was in a highschool debate club a bit over a decade ago, and I was very good at the public forum event. Like, regularly in the top 32 for both the NFL and CFL national tournaments good. There were other people at the top of that ladder with me that made very effective use of the “pound the table” strategy, and how well it worked often boiled down to judge variance. People act that way in debates because it absolutely works on some viewers

Reasons I developed a “therapy is an expensive waste of my time” mindset after living in FL for a decade. I’m not paying $200 a visit for some pompous shitbag to tell me I’m sad because I don’t simp for Jesus

Sometimes I’ve used the material components of my spells as an RP restriction for my druid. Like, I can only prepare spells for which I could reasonably find materials in the environment I’m currently in. I still don’t track anything without gold cost, but I do like the material components for rp reasons. also makes me play a bit more creatively because I can’t just pick the best spells every time
