One-page RPGs might be better for this than 5e or 5.24. There are literally thousands of them and most of them are free or really cheap.

I’ve had libs/chuds/suburbanites very confidently tell me that everyone who lives in cities would die in an apocalypse because the rural farms wouldn’t, like, give them food, etc. Very obviously false if you’ve ever worked in rural health or rural anything honestly. If I get the chance again I’ll ask why they think cities are where they are. I usually disengage or deflect right away though because it’s basically a convo about zombie movies.
I swear I’m not saying this just to be mean, but the other problem is that lemmy.world is really boring. Like, actually go through the .world front page and imagine having to respond - even positively - to the majority of these posts.

That’s fucked up and I’m sorry. Your thesis sounds much better than the same silly essay about Margaret Thatcher.
The Death Panel Podcast is really good :)
How would identifying with Palestinians make you less empathetic and rush to the defense of the US?
I can’t tell if you’re doing “both sides”, “all lives matter”, or “whataboutism”. Other people care about things outside of meaningless platitudes.
I kinda agree
What aspects do you agree and disagree with? This doesn’t tend to be a topic people are lukewarm about.
I think that the US should stop doing genocide
Sure, we’re not really organized in that way though. I’m just here for fun.
I sorta think it’s easier to reach people in person cause there’s an existing relationship with some level of trust, but people can do both.
I often learn by teaching so I’ll find other people who want to learn it and explain the things I’m learning to them. Or if it’s something really boring I’ll explain it to someone who’s willing to listen to it. I’ll also explain and narrate in my head imagining an old roommate or something. People I’ve given this strategy to IRL say they pretend they’re streaming, but I don’t do that because I don’t really watch streamers very much. The trick to it is to relate it to things you know, but not turn it into explaining capitalism because the test probably doesn’t have questions about labor valorization etc etc.
I think someone on hexbear at one point posted a ‘focus hack’ video that suggested putting on headphones with no music playing as though you’ve listened to music which ended, but you were focused so you didn’t notice. I don’t do this, but it makes sense to me. The video had a bunch of stuff like that, I think one was a plugin that removes recommendations from youtube so the website is just a search bar and it tricks people into realizing that they’re watching for convenience rather than looking for stuff and information.
For, like, exam trick questions, they usually fall into two categories:
Multiply 503 by 497.
Factor out a 3 and make it (500+3)*(500-3). Then it’s (250,000 - 9). (Doing this longhand would take forever even if you could obviously do it.)
The cube root of 64 is 4, because 4x4x4 is 64. What is the cube root of 1,728?
1,728 is a cubic foot so the answer is 12. (You’d have to test factors or do cube root division which is hard and takes a long time.)
Either way, look at old exam questions and example questions and figure out what the these tricks are for the test you’re taking.
Also, good luck. You probably know and remember much more than you think.
