One thing I like about this image is that the age suggests that we should now be "beyond it".

...what? I'm saying you don't understand how warrants work, not whatever you're rambling about.

OH what a surprise, it DOES turn out you were just here to JAQ off all along. You're as easy to see through as folahts' source is to find.

They don't need a warrant, you're allowed to just tell people your coordinates. A warrant would just permit Pommes to commit illegal acts until you give it up.

Buses and lorries. We transport the people on the buses and cargo on lorries, just like we do now.

This is what people mean when they talk about car brain - you're so focused on the need for a car that you forgot that cars aren't even used for moving your examples.

The 5e rules certainly make it a lot easier than most CRPGs, but if you're a newcomer to CRPGs I can still see it being difficult.

Loving FOSS and being able to use it are different things - plenty of people are required to use outlook at work.

Nvidea might be making a big difference there, I'm on AMD and didn't lose any frames, even in AAA games, when I switched from Windows 10 to Bazzite 42. Haven't gained any either, but there's a lot less stutter in menus and faster loading times that still make it feel smoother anyway.

1. Yes? I'm confused, is there no subject you're familiar enough with to recognise sources?

2. Yes it does, it doesn't qualify as a reference, but luckily you're looking at the Wikipedia page so you can just click it instead.

3. Yes, people make mistakes, but luckily sometimes other people like me are around to correct them.

4. No, I can justify my attributionby the fact that there's only one (1) source that lists the dead by faction, the numbers just show how they misremembered the specifics of the source.

This isn't some complex chain of advanced logic, I really don't understand what you're having trouble with.

Everything we know about Orwell disagrees, from his review of Mein Kampf to his comments about Jews and Homosexuals. He opposed fighting the literal German Nazis until war actually broke out. The civil was was a few years and a single book, and hardly representative of his entire life.

Correct, as I said elsewhere they got the distribution wrong because they are working off memory, but it's not difficult to link the numbers - they mistook the police and army as having the same number of deaths as civilian protestors rather than student protestors, but the total roughly matches and there's only one source that makes that specific distinction between groups rather than a general guess at a total. I don't understand why you're so upset about being told the source after asking for the source.

The main thing I've learnt is to tell your players as much as you can before you start playing. Give them background lore, locations and maps, give them descriptions of well known characters - tell them everything a normal person in the setting would know and they'll engage with the story far more, because they feel like part of the setting rather than an outsider looking in.
For my most recent campaign I wrote a 9 page guide that detailed mechanical restrictions, backstory requirements, and common themes that would crop up throughout the campaign, and everyone turned up to their session 0 with a complete character whose presence and motivations closely fitted the story, including the guy who was in prison for the first 4 sessions.
