Oh, there are enough jobs, it’s just that most companies would rather pay one overworked person to pull 60hr weeks to pump out mediocre work before burning out and being replaced than pay two happy and productive people to work 40hr weeks or, heaven forbid, three people to work 30-32hr weeks with a huge bump in moral and producitivity.
We got the money, we got the people, and we got the evidence that backs it all up.
The fuck does Google even get out of this? At some point I really just do not understand why people are so aggressively supporting Israel’s genocide. Like, the fervor behind their support is crazy for all people who aren’t directly responsible for creating the problem and who could so easily just not support this shit.
I know there’s money involved but this is ridiculous.
Yikes, big dog.
Weird, I guess I just hallucinated that presentation, put on by a painter(the kind who paints several kilometer long bridges)(who was a woman), I saw that included a part about encouraging the women in the room to get into trades.
Idiot.
The DNC does love panicking when they start winning, though.
They also said that exit wounds can have benefits, though they didn’t get into it nearly enough. I’m imagining that two wounds, especially on opposite side of a person, are going to be a lot harder to deal with and the increase blood loss potential while also distracting anyone trying to help them has a lot of benefits.
Also I say benefits, but yuck.
I love how weak Americans are that ya’ll think this is some kind of secretly scathing message. Land of the brave but they can’t just fuckin’ say anything outloud out of an intense fear of not being “proper”.
Land of the cowards, more like.
No one gives a shit what Harris has to say on the matter. She lost and then fucking bounced to go sign a book deal because she doesn’t actually give a fuck. But she does love hanging out with Liz Cheney so there’s always that.
All “damage control” ever did for US progressives was embolden people like Harris. Yea, since they put off standing up for themselves for so fuckin’ long this is the kinda shit that has to be dealt with but with all the people seemingly ok with the need for a civil uprising, possibly even a civil war, to fix things I mean really this could be worse.
The next time an election comes around, whenever that is, we’ll all get to see if ya’ll really mean it or if giving up on the whole country is really gunna be the right call.
Uh, that first one is kinda dumb. Very much unnecessary and kinda goes along the same line of thinking as republicans giving up their rights so that minorities have it worse.
There are also a lot of people who were in power during Trump’s first presidency who blame things that happened then on Biden. They seem to often choose things close to 2021 so they’re either doing it on purpose or just experiencing the effects of their aged minds blurring things together, combined with unmatched stupidity.
Where I’m at, a lack of excitement means people are apathetic and don’t feel enegaged or like their vote matters. Strategic voting and the ever right-ward shifting of the centre is a huge reason why Canada and the US are the way they are.
You talk about being short-sighted but the only thing strategic voting has ever accomplished has been the ever right-ward shift of the center. Do you really believe that people don’t understand that there will be consequences? Do you really believe that votes made out of desparation fear are “good”? The centrist threaten the population with the alternative and they don’t genuinely represent anyone because they know you’re too scared.
They didn’t primary Harris, they just shoved her onto the ballot and told everyone to deal with it. There is nothing good about that behaviour.
But you just said it right there. It wasn’t that people weren’t excited, it was because the DNC knew that people didn’t really like Biden all that much and yet kept him on way too late, then when they did switch it up they didn’t give anyone a chance. They spat in the face of democracy and I can totally understand why people are fed up and told them to go fuck themselves. I willing to bet many would have voted for Harris anyway if she had won a primary but that’s not what happened.
Centrists are conservatives who only ever have one tactic and that’s where they threaten their voters with an even worse time so they can get away with bullshit. People are tired of that.
“It’s crazy what giving people something to cote for versus just something to vote against can do.”
I agree with your sentiment it’s just the sentence broke me.
The funniest part is that I never, at least from the clips, got the idea that George Carlin was a conservative but he did always have an air about him that I think made conservatives believe he wasn’t talking about them.
Now, I’m sure this will prompt me learning some things about Carlin but hey, I’m open to that too.
Open-eneded because in comparison to something like a Warlock you’re simply handed a guy who hits real good and in comparison to a ranger there are no weapon specific stereotypes. You can be pretty much anything you want and there isn’t much distraction in the flavour text, even. Now, I personally don’t pay much heed to flavour text and roleplay things however the hell I want but I do know a lot of people get bogged down by the idea that rogues need to be theives and paladins need to be good and that 95% of the community still doesn’t know what “lawful” means and they should really change the word to “principled” to square that away.
The reason I said “stricter framework” was in response your comment where it seemed as though you were saying that the 5e fighter required creativity to make it fun and I assumed that meant that what you wanted was for other systems to lay things out for you a little more. I assumed that because nothing I was suggesting required building your own class and mechanics, it was all just fairly high-level rules found in the books(minus the Eldritch Knight, I thought I’d seen it elsewhere).
Oddly enough, though, the fighter in PF2e, I would imagine, requires much more thinking since much of its power appears to come from feats that you need to choose at every level. I love that idea, and technically you can do a similar thing in 5e with the optional feat rule, but I’m struggling to figure out where you’re coming from saying that it’s easier or that dedications are safe from bad choices. I don’t find it as daunting as an experienced player but it’s certainly a lot more opportunity to accidentally build poorly. Also 5e multiclassing really is not that difficult, though there are small details that I think should be ironed out(maybe there were in 2024, I don’t know at this moment).
End of the day, 5e Fighter may be a bit of a blank slate but that’s precisely why I love them. They aren’t at all boring if you bring your creativity and roleplay skills to them and that also depends on what kind of game you want to play. I also play a Warlock now that I’ve made fairly unique and love the amount I can do with him so it’s not like I’m scared of classes with more complexity to offer, either, I just see the value in all of them and play to their strengths and weaknesses appropriately.
I’m aware of what I said, but the other point I made is that fighters are not the boring easy class everyone makes them out to be. They are very open-ended and that can be a lot for people but it’s not a sign that they’re bad. They also have the echo knight and eldritch knight subclasses if you want a little help/inspiration/spice built into the class itself. I have an echo knight minotaur I played for a bit who was great fun to play in combat.
If we’re talking about complexity being the issue then you can back right the heck up with that “just play Pathfinder” nonsense. I really want to try PF2e, actually, but to act like it’s simpler than a 5e multiclass is something you must surely know is not going to fly. I made a PF1e barbarian once and the amount of choices I had to make as an experience 5e player was within my skill level but for your hypothetical new player it would be far more daunting a task.
Also “without needing to get creative” is such a tell. It’s really not that complicated, and it’s not 5e’s fault that someone might need a stricter framework. You’re not a worse person for it, necessarily, but the whining about it sure isn’t a good look.
How many times you gunna say “you clearly don’t understand” before you just admit that you don’t have the communication skills to talk about it with anyone who doesn’t have intimate knowledge about your specific project and how your soecific company does, or evidently doesn’t, function? Sorry I made you feel bad about yourself by asking questions you couldn’t answer.
Look, you don’t need to admit it to me, this exchange has been heated enough and I get that, but for the love of god please be better the next time you find yourself in a similar situation.
Doing it this way would make him the dumbest person imaginable, though. We already know there is evil in the world, championing it does nothing but feed it.
Centrists and conservatives don’t have the capacity to understand “return on investment” or “in-direct benefits”. Carney is saving money by not paying the bills, so to speak, and that only works until the first of the month rolls around.
I’m so sick of seeing the research and case studies pile up which show all the easy, low-risk solutions to most of our problems just for those morons to bust in and keep doing the same worthless bullshit.
