He says we have a bunch of people starving, and we have programs to help, but instead of helping, he sees the programs being abused.
Do you not think these programs are being abused? Have you been to the south where poverty and obesity are at insane rates?
Also, it’s hilarious how he can touch on 20 issues that every one of us agree with, but the left hyper-focuses on one line they don’t like, because he just looks like a hillbilly trump supporter to y’all.
The combat is fairly challenging - it’s easy for one or two bad moves (or bad luck) to kill your whole party in a battle. It also takes a bit to learn the combat system if you haven’t played D&D.
I’ve always been interested in D&D, but no never played it.
You end up with 4 different characters with different strengths and weaknesses and each with a bunch of different abilities that have different rules for when and how often you can use them.
I have played quite a few games with the party system, so I have so previous knowledge on the strengths and weaknesses of party members, which may help. Thanks for the info!
Outside the combat, how have you liked the game?
I haven’t played any Baldurs gate before, but the hype has definitely made me look into it.
Definitely seems like a game I’d like, a fantasy RPG, I haven’t always loved turned based combat, so that’s one of my hold ups. What do y’all think of the combat system?
You let the
I didn’t do shit, man.
here needs to be consequences for that type of predatory lending
Sure, maybe. How does paying off $1.6T in student loans, a hand out to the highest earners of our generation, fix the ‘predatory lending’? It doesn’t. It encourages it. It tells banks "keep doing your sketchy shit, if it gets too much for the country, the government will just pay it all back to you!’
small fines being dished out in comparison making people like you think 1.6T is so massive we cant do shit.
People like me? Once again - tell me how giving $1.6T to the most educated, highest earning highest educated portion of our generation is going to fix predatory school loans. If you don’t even attempt to answer that in your next comment, I don’t care to respond. All you’re trying to do is trash me, when I agree with you - predatory school loans are an issue. Instead of trying to fix the issue, you want a handout to help yourself, and let the next generation of students get dicked. That’s not a solution, that’s kicking the can down the road.
a for-profit organization
Although I’m iffy on the FR in general, it is part of the government. I’m not sure where you’re getting that it’s for profit?
have printed and injected about 17T into the banks for relief sense 2017
In relief? You mean printed that much money to hand out in loans? I just think fundamentally you don’t understand how the FR interacts with banks.
someone to be able to donate time and money to charities or other similar types of organizations in their community.
Please provide evidence of student loan relief leading towards increased monetary donations and time donations.
. Your answer of just ignoring
Where did I say this was my answer? I just noted that what you and your buddies think is a ‘glaringly obvious’ solution - isn’t a solution at all.
Once again, I don’t care to respond unless you answer one simple question: if the solution is so glaringly obvious, how does paying the loans of the highest education, highest earning and most capable portion of our population fix the predatory nature of student loans, the high interest rates and increasing cost of tuition?
I agree, the interest rates are crazy, and people should be informed about it, but you’re just saying what the problem is. Not how to fix it.
What you claim is a ‘glaringly obvious’ solution to this doesn’t solve what you’re talking about. It doesn’t solve the predatory nature of loans, or the government pushing of student loans either, which increases tuition costs. Your solution does nothing except give middle/upper-middle educated people $1.6T
So, good, we agree on one of the problems, tell me how your ‘glaringly obvious’ solution of student loan forgiveness solves that problem.
How is it the banks faults?
but the glaringly obvious solution of forgiving that debt
Just because that’s what you want doesn’t make it ‘glaringly obvious.’
Are you going to go into your city and yell out ‘we need to give $1.6T to middle and upper class, university educated people, and we need to do it NOW!’? How is that a ‘glaringly obvious’ solution?
How does this remove the core issues of the student debt crisis: that it doesn’t reduce the cost of college, and may even increase it due to moral hazard? How is student debt forgiveness ‘glaringly obvious’ when it doesn’t address that at all?
How does it reduce the amount that future students are going to take out to get an education? How is student debt forgiveness a ‘glaringly obvious’ solution to this?
Just because you and likely your ~30 YO educated peers have an issue doesn’t mean the whole nation just needs to write a blank check when the demographic you’re talking about giving $1.6T to are the highest earners in your generation?
It’s not that the solution is ‘glaringly obvious’ - and everyone who doesn’t support it are just stuck in the far right, it’s because there are legitimate problems with your ‘glaringly obvious’ solution.
It’s a blob of cells not a baby.
I disagree.
I guess if I thought souls were real I could see where you’re coming from.
I don’t see it as a ‘soul’ - just a human life that deserves some sort of right to life.
And there are lines of people to adopt healthy Caucasian babies, sure but in reality many kids spend life in the system.
Do you have data that shows that caucasian babies are being adopted but brown babies aren’t?
Nope, I fight for kids that aren’t ready to be a parent
Plenty of people are waiting to adopt a baby, the ‘kids’ (who are often mid 20’s-mid 30’s) who don’t want to have the responsibility of raising the child they chose to bring into the world, don’t need to. There are lines of people wanting to adopt.
kids that do not want to deliver their abusers children
Can you expand on this?
Being pro-life is defending a possibility over an actual sentient person.
Defending the rights of a baby that can’t fight for themselves*
We are defined by fighting for those who aren’t strong enough to fight for themselves.
It is.
If you want to get paid $20, find someone to pay you $20/hour
Well for example the right to get the medical care you need.
“Need” - define need? Is a sex change for a 13 year old a necessity? If a girl wants boob implants at age 13, that’s not necessary.
The right to take a goddamn piss in a public toilet.
You forcing anybody into a specific restroom despite protests from the majority doesn’t make you right. Women should use the women’s restroom, guys should use the guys restroom. I have advocated for penis room vs vagina room, though.
The right to participate in society as you are
No, you want it as they ‘identify.’ Just because someone thinks they are something else, doesn’t mean they are that thing. I used to be called ‘doggy boy’ because I liked digging holes. I wasn’t literally a dog.
rather than a how some fascist demagogue has determined you should be.
Fascist demagogue = nature? I get you may have an issue with mother nature, but that’s your fight, don’t force everyone to abide by your unpopular view of the world.
There is no country in this world where workers all get to negotiate their pay.
In the U.S. for the most part people are able to. Except in situations where the government forces a floor. So we’re damn close, every individual can choose to work for X amount of pay or not. Once again, except in cases where the government forces a minimum.
Capitlism is about the ability of selling your services to a willing party. It always has been, and always will.
If I want to stack boxes for $2 an hour, I have that right. If I want to stack boxes for $200 I have the right to make that right. Everyone has the ability to accept my offer, or deny it. Capitalism, baby.
Absolutely it’s due to capitalism
That’s your government not doing their job. And actively working against the workers.
Blame big government that forces people to work at a non negotiated price, not capitalism.
Maybe work on your reading comprehension and come back to me whenever you don’t find me advocating for cOmMuNisM.
Marxism put into a political system has always been a form of communism. If you aren’t arguing for that, why are you responding to a post and a comment about communism?
I was merely mocking your naive worship of a broken and failed system.
Because I acknowledge that capitalism isn’t perfect, but it’s by far the best political system that’s taken more out of poverty than any other economic system doesn’t mean I have naive worship. Also, it’s not a broken and failed system. You want to see a broken and failed system? See every single communist country that’s ever existed.
Maybe one day you will wake you up when they automate your very useful 1-2 hours a day position.
That won’t make me communist. And my field is one of the few that are still hiring at a good pace, most tech companies are in a stand still and laying people off. My field has been steady for the last 100 years at least.
Regardless, I’m selling my work for a fair rate, and that’s what capitalism is. If you are willingly working somewhere at an agreed upon price, thank capitalism.
Working for a living is the core of communism.
totalitarianism is the core of communism.
Workers are more populous and generate all the value
Then negotiate, if you do create the value, then you can sell your services for more.
we would like a larger share of the value we create.
See above.
Nobody is under attack.
There’s some bigots, but what rights are under attack?
literally want you exterminated,
Not literally. Just because I recognize a man is a man, doesn’t mean I literally want to kill them.
None of my kids are Trans, but if they were I would fight for them.
How? How would you fight for them? What rights do they not have that an average person has?
I fight for all the kids that are oppressed by wankers like you.
You don’t fight for all kids, or you’d be protesting abortions.
That’s not capitalism, that’s government not doing their job.
Biden forced the railway workers to keep working despite the strike. Is that due to capitalism?
Once again, hyperfocusing on one line is not ‘half the song’ and when you put it in context, he’s simply saying that those people that need welfare aren’t getting it, while others are abusing the system. It’s not just about making laws to help poor people, it’s about ensuring that it gets to the people that need it.
