I know this sounds pretentious (which is quite ironic), but this is something I’ve noticed about the internet. You never read about what someone does, only what they say. You hear politicians claim that they’ll fix the economy, or celebrities make speeches about what they feel like, or what “message” a fictional movie has being discussed over and over, but none of that matters, because it’s all saying and no doing!

    Posting thoughts on social media in the form of words is an action.

      Although I’m curious to know if it’s a full or multiple round action. With traditional D&D having 6 seconds to a round, it might be two rounds, maaaaaybe three.

      But talking out loud with words isn’t action? I broadly agree with you, but by that logic it deconstructs the statement entirely.

      If typing words is action, then so it’s speaking, so the rules are made up and the points don’t matter.

      Except actions and words both matter so I think the saying is garbo.

      Showing up to a protest is also an action. So is smashing someone’s car. Do you think you can feed the hungry purely by posting thoughts on social media?

        Translation: “I have no way of arguing with this obvious and simply stated fact, so I’ll pretend they’re 14 and think it’s deep and then attack them for that. I’m 28 and this is a worthwhile use of my time.”
