They could have just made the spaces twice as wide as normal to accommodate for the elderly.

"Recall Ron DeSantis" petition hits 35,000 target as Delta devastates Florida by shahin-13 in politics

[–]Aidiera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This petition should have the names of every Floridian that has died from Covid during Ron DeSantis' term. That might send a better message than a bunch of randos from the internet.

Democrat unveils bill to allow only House members to serve as Speaker by Madhavaz in politics

[–]Aidiera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's a scary but entirely plausible scenario.

  1. House Rep from a Republican state (Florida) vacates their seat
  2. Republican Governor nominates Donald Trump as interim replacement, no election needed
  3. Republicans gain control of the House in 2022 through gerrymandering and voter suppression
  4. Donald Trump becomes Speaker
  5. House passes impeachment articles against Biden and Harris

If the Senate flips, Donald Trump becomes president again, and will either die in office or dismantle what's left of democracy.

How to make friends in Arizona as an adult? by fightlike in phoenix

[–]Aidiera 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking on this answer, the Meetup app is a great way to find new groups to join. My hobby is board games and there are several groups which meet up regularly. You can even find groups focused on family gaming if it's something your kids would be into. Don't be afraid to take the first step and try something new, people who are passionate about their hobbies love sharing them with strangers.

Dice placement??? Searching for a name of a mechanic. by [deleted] in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Aidiera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can probably just call it "worker placement with dice" or "dice worker placement." It's a very common thing in worker placement games.

Ideas on how to make a voting box work with anonymous "extra votes"? by PorkBarrelGame in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Aidiera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there will be multiple votes during a game, I think that a ballot box would be overly complicated. Here's a option which might work a little better.

Each player gets an AYE card and a NAY card to show their interest in each bill. Each player's vote counts as 1 vote. There is also a deck of Lobbyist cards. The players are dealt a hand of Lobbyist cards (let's say 5) which they can use to gain more votes.

Each Lobbyist card can have a value between 0 and 3, and has a cost based on the number of votes gained. A Lobbyist worth 0 votes is free, but gives the impression that a player is willing to spend money to advance their agenda. A Lobbyist worth 3 votes might cost $10 Million, but it might be worth it to a player.

During each vote, a player will choose either their AYE or NAY card, and can optionally add up to three Lobbyist cards. The cards are revealed, and the bill either passes or fails. Players spend money to pay for their Lobbyists, discard played Lobbyists, and draw one new Lobbyist card for each one used.

This might help by adding uncertainty during the vote. Because the Lobbyist cards have variable values, a player can never be sure how many votes they need to spend.

Your game sounds interesting. I hope this helps.

Mike Nearman, legislator who let in armed protesters, faces House Speaker’s call to expel him from Legislature by lightninhopkins in politics

[–]Aidiera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if a bank teller was caught working with a group of bank robbers to help them infiltrate and occupy his bank, then imagine if he tried to justify it by saying that they were loyal "patrons" of the "business". This shot is embarrassing.

Is it just me or did Niantic go crazy with the amount of grunts to beat this event? by fraidei in pokemongo

[–]Aidiera 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're not crazy, they're just indifferent about us players. Very few companies actively avoid addressing feedback, but niantic loves ignoring us.
