    So if this is of interest to anyone here, I strongly recommend getting the Snake Oil card game. The basic premise is you have one player (the potential buyer) pick a profession card, then the other players choose from two word cards in their hands, and have 60 seconds to sell it to the potential buyer. Potential buyer chooses winner, and a new player becomes the potential buyer.

    For added twist, I like to have a questions phase where the sellers get to attack each others’ products. Truly a blast, especially if there’s a bit of drinking going on

      Fun : 6, 21, 14.

      6 + 14 = 20.

      20 < 21. 21

      Fun is 3 letters.

      21 / 3 = 7

      Sarcasm = 7 letters

      Sarcasm = Fun.

      Illuminati confirmed.

    I’ve always wanted to have PowerPoint parties where everyone creates a short presentation or pitch on something. I don’t know how to ask my friends to do homework when everyone is 30+ though lol

            Ah right. Yeah, talking points is a lot more about improve and trying to wing it, meanwhile patently stupid is very much the “sell a pitch” idea. Similar, yet quite different.

            Jackbox got a lot of cool game ideas

        I’ve got a ton of autistic friends and a high suspicion that I’m autistic.

        This made me laugh my ass off.

    Ok and then you find that half of those connected conspiracies are actually true, and someone will rant about it or claim it’s not true, and that’s why I don’t like politics.

      You remind me of someone I was talking to at a party once. I thought they were a normal person and we were just casually arguing about politics but in a very good natured way, it was actually really fun. Then suddenly they pull out that democrats have ritualistic sacrifices where they drink baby blood and he was 100% completely sincere and serious. I think I was ushered away from the group quickly after that by people who know me well enough to know I was about to get rude af asking mocking questions.

      So anyway. I bet you’re fun at parties!

          Woah I mostly just wanted to share a funny story along with the jokey typical punchline response. With my own twist of it actually was fun for me the time I met a conspiracy theorist (although a very extreme one lol)

          I dont even think you’re republican or whatever??? I didn’t mean for you to take this as such a personal attack and I’m sorry for that, but damn your reply is heated af. I suggest you spend time and reflect on why that is.

            Lol ok accepted, I’ve met too many accusatory and judgemental people here lately, so I guess my patience is pretty thin.

            ✌️
