Old-school forum with under a hundred people and a couple mods that give a shit is peak but does have problems with stagnation and over-specialization. Casual chat rooms or a -chan style board are a good counterbalance and nobody should exist in only one social space. Reddit et al. is a weird in-between and Discord feels like worse IRC.
Cool bigotry.
Consistency is a very big deal for commercial products, they have a legal requirement for accurate labeling.
Because it doesn’t last long in cans. All the extra ingredients are to keep the appearance and taste stable. Meats and starches are particularly hard to safely can without preservatives.
Not how evolution works.
If the rest of the world doesn’t learn from our example I’m gonna be very disappointed. Your government needs real checks and balances, actual power in the hands of citizens rather than billionaires.
I do not want to have to sit through every cutscenes I already know by heart.
Forget it, there’s no way you’re taking Kairi’s heart!
So your position is literally “impoverish yourself by donating all property you aren’t currently, personally using.” I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
It’s nuanced, dude. Part of class war is the optics and unless you want every empty-nester up against the wall with the BlackRock executives it’s not useful to paint with such a wide brush.
I just think your point is too black-and-white. In the current system there exists people who want temporary housing and people who own more housing than they require and are willing to let others use it for a mutually agreeable payment. Your claim that this is inherently oppressive requires that the renter would not choose ownership if they had the means. Is it often an unfair, coercive dynamic? Yes. Do rent-seekers ruin everything? Yes. Do we need to villainize every single person who doesn’t donate their spare mother-in-law or inherited property to the homeless? No.
Putting the cart before the horse here. We live in a capitalist society and people need temporary dwellings now, they can’t wait for a proletarian revolution and total restructuring of society.
It’s a regulation thing for Trainers and the League, normal people don’t have to worry about it.
More like the anime goes against the game, which was first.
I think they key counter-argument comes from your position “leeches off of those of the working class who must rent”. I agree with this! But it ignores people that want to rent for whatever reason, like living somewhere for a few years to attend university.
“Tummy hurts, gonna hard reset the situation and see if it helps.”
It’s literally how societies function. We’re seeing it collapse in real time where that’s not an option.
Bringing up how the weather makes a bicycle a poor choice is not a “stupid counter point”.
There’s going to be some psychopaths no matter what (I have a buddy with permanent injuries from an intentional hit-and-run on his bike) but the bigger problems there are poorly designed roads, improper bike lanes, and lack of enforcement for distracted driving. Empathy doesn’t resolve infrastructure failures.
The solution is to make everyone uncomfortably hot and sweaty?
Yeah, if you want to chat off-topic take it to AIM.
