Those are yearly CDC statistics for the US. Those wouldn’t have been evenly distributed across the US population, so your other response about “needing to have had 700 friends” is a non-sequitur; population statistics don’t apply to individuals.

I really don’t know what you’re trying to argue here - are you denying that the AIDS crisis happened?

Why would 2024 statistics be relevant to a conversation about HIV prevalence in the 80s?

High school sports (plenty of towns put up flags or banners on their streetlights commemorating senior athletes), “generic” seasonal banners (this is definitely just “winter” and not Christmas, wink wink), some towns might put up flags for fairs or similar events on their streetlights. Generally things that might or might not technically count as flags, and aren’t really not political but count as non-political to the people in charge of enforcing this proposal.

You’re both right - Order of the Stick is the webcomic hosted at GitP. The site also hosts one of the more (possibly most?) active 3.5 discussion forums around these days, with lots of reference threads and class handbooks, rules discussions, and occasional people coming in for build or DM advice.

Yes, it’s a very solid tactical combat game. It has room for character RP moments but the meat of the system is in the mech design (which gives you plenty of opportunities to make adjustments to your build) and on the turn-based combat map. It’s less crunchy than Battletech (you aren’t tracking damage to specific limbs, etc) but IMO the action economy is usually more interesting than 5e - there’s a lot more opportunities to build for “when you do X, if condition Y is true, you can follow up with Z for free” combos.
