Wasn’t there a Goblin Waifu game that was alright?

I love how you can have a really complicated problem and it can be solved with such a simple premise.

It’s just such a basic idea that’s obvious in hindsight.

My Polish mate, who’s English was pretty good but still had a noticeable Polish accent, was asking me about some weird pronunciation of a word or I corrected him in something.

He said “Ah Potato, Tomato. Doesn’t matter”. I burst out laughing, some guy actually tried to correct him on it.

I also like “We will burn that bridge when we get to it”.

I wouldnt be surprised if this is the type of “crime” where whatever they want to happen to him happens.

If they want life or death to stop others from doing similar then that will happen.

Only if everyone did.

Kid sees the downfall of society happening and tries to do something about it. He then defended himself when needed against 3 aggressors.

Got to respect the kid.

The government really needs to grow some balls and get better with this stuff.

Just draw some lines on a map. Offer everyone 1.3x the value of their house (or however much) and take it off them. For the greater good.

And Israeli bots (probably IDF and Pro-Israelis too)

Seriously I just discovered this. Go search any random Gaza/Palestine/Israel post you will see -50 for someone saying “Israel has killed children and should stop killing children” and like +300 for “this article is so biased it’s taking about Israeli attacks but no mention of how Hamas is the real cause of this death”.

I’m not even going to bother to link because I want people to see for themselves rather than it looking like I’m selecting the worst if it.

I’m talking about this

we already have a word for “female person”, and that’s “woman”

Female person doesn’t mean women.

The word has changed so it’s not correct to say that.

This just seems women are more touchy about this stuff then men.

Someone called me out on reddit for using the word girls for women and it was sexist because it is infantising, and it was stupid because they were making out I don’t call men boys. When I absoultely do, in fact I do it more than the alternative. Really the only way I was sexist on that is that I don’t do it as much as I do with men so if anything I should do it more.

But you can’t win, someone’s always going to be offended

Now, you could get around it by calling someone “a female person” - except that we already have a word for “female person”, and that’s “woman”.

We did have a word that meant that and everyone knew it. But that word has changed into something else.

You know some old looking 35 year olds.

Pretty sure I didn’t say that.

Ah, so the economists you paid someone to tell you to read are better than the ones they read on their own.

In short yes. There have been a 1000 years of development into the formal education system. That has lead to the industrial revolution and other other countless things.

Youtube videos are great but it’s not quite the same.

Hey, what’s your contribution to the field?

Fuck all. But it doesn’t mean my knowledge of the field isn’t in the top 1% of the world.

You guys are really bad at understanding basic economy theory.

It works on supply and demand and assumes that everyone works rationally and with full knowledge.

The invisible hand of the market finding the optimal solution is basically the 0th law of capitalism.

Now economic policy, you’ll be amazed to understand is about fixing inefficiencies that do not allow for optimal conditions. Tonnes of people go learn about what are the issues with capitalism and how to make it better, that’s what economic testing is about. That’s why it’s better than socialism because it’s competitive and strives for change.

If people are forced to work for poverty wages then they are losing their true value and capitalism would be about trying to fix that value. If everyone had UBI that would equate the negotiating position of workers and they wouldn’t have to take poverty wages. That’s why UBI is the capitalist solution to that problem in capitalism. It allows to market to work the way economists want it to work.

Haha I have a degree in economics. That why I can see all the shit you tankies write as just plain wrong.

But I’m sure your youtube video on Karl Marx makes you an expert on these things.

People don’t use words as absolutes. America is largely referred to as a capitalist country. My saying that isn’t incorrect. But you can argue technicalities of words all you want, communism sucks or (mixed economies heavily leaning to communism sucks).

Capitalism depends on the threat of homelessness to function.

No it doesn’t

UBI is also a great idea within socialist economies, where there would be no force against it.

Maybe. But socialism is a stupid inefficient system, so it’s a non starter.

UBI works very well with the market based capitalist system. That’s where I think it will shine.

UBI is the perfect capitalist solution to the majority of problems. It should allow for less market distortion and could have some really interesting outcomes.

I’m very excited to see a first world country use UBI.

That an externalities can go a long, long way in this world.

I agree.

Sounds like you might want to consider quitting your job and travelling for 6 months, or go work in another country before you get too old. That’s what I did.

But back to your other point. I’m convinced 90’s and 00’s were better times. Things were easier, more free, there was more free time, there was more community. People were happier and less prone to anger you could actually joke around with people and life wasn’t so serious. Now it seems like everyone wants be a victim of something and just fuck up everyone’s lives.

Back in those days if someone couldn’t take a joke you just tell them to lighten up and have some fun. But people just want to be the victim.
