I think you may have misunderstood what the joke is, saying the government should help people isn't socialism, but it is called socialism by all those who just hate poor people...

But popping tags isn't about stealing, it lowers the price. That shirt with the stain on it shouldn't cost $20, you pop that tag point out the stain and you're down to $5.

Not really, that was the big gimmick of the console, but only a handful of games actually utilize it.

Games like breath of the wild had the feature cut despite being designed with it in mind.

ZombiU does it well however.

Not really, it conflates games that have some ability to spread one screen between to monitors and games that actually utilize two monitors.

I don't get it...

I get you, but as someone who just started with the litrpg genre because i avoided it due to the people who liked it, I'm just saying that sometimes you may be missing something you love because most of the people who like it are dumb and most of the genre is garbage.

Correlation vs causation.

Yes, big bang is dumb, but just to pull a famous example Paul Ryan likes Rage against the Machine, sometimes people can feel a beat even if they can't hear the lyrics.

HR is literally just corporations though, it's already in the picture...

BBT is a bad show, but that's not a good reason not to watch it, that's just a dumb person who can only relate to reality through media references.

Just to be clear I'm not saying to watch it, but that a stupid person liking something isn't a reason to reject the thing...

But you must realize this sign is explicitly telling you they'd rather be at brunch, it's only when their comfort is interrupted that they will move. If your protests interrupt their brunch they will turn on you...

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

Cut him off based on philosophy?

it's not philosophy it's ideology and personally my answer is yes. I spent my 20s hanging out with white people who openly though i was "one of the good ones" i'm so beyond over it. I'd rather have no friends than friends who I need to apologize for. Like what am i learning about my views? that I've surrounded myself racist assholes?

I'm not saying your wrong, or really trying to make an argument, but the book "bowling alone" came out in 2000 and it was describing the fall into social isolation and alienation before social media or the balkanization of news and entertainment. To go further back Marx was talking about the alienation of labor as far back as 1844. Like capitalism is killing us, the increased view/reach of technology is just making it obvious.

Unless your practicing in a group and developing tactics, you're right it does only end one way.

I don't know how many armed people are coming, but if you're alone I do know how it ends...

It works now, even if later he gets tired of it and walks away it still works now.

it's an older copypasta but it checks out

Story yes, game no.

The only reason I completed it was because I wanted to see the end, but by the end I hated the game so much I can't play the entire genre anymore without almost physical pain... The mechanics of random battle and grind cause my spirit to flag and my will to drain, now no matter how good the story of the game is I just can't.

Xenogears man, I hate that game. It put a deep hatred for random battles into my heart which killed most JRPGs for me.

You could literally hear the CD stop and the random battles load.

I get that their main goal is keeping the proles down, but you'd think there'd be some protection of american hegemony and soft power, it has made a small group of people a lot of money and given them outsized influence of the world.

Calling it a shouting match is more sanewashing of trump, there were only two people yelling and Zelensky wasn't one of them.
