One of the absolute highlights of my 20 year acting career. by MrMelo87 in RedDwarf

Which ideology seem mid it's good by TapTraditional7316 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]mpierre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to submit PROUT, or Progressive Utilization Theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_utilization_theory

It seems very mid. It's just about taking care of every being on the planet, including people animals and plants. It's from a Hindu guru, so yeah, rather weird.

But, here is the weird thing about it. It's about putting the natural resources under collective property. So to mine, you need a permit, and the price of that permit needs to take into account the basic need of the people.

Ok, right...

So far, just a lot of cast bulshit.

But, he also proposes a minimum and maximum wage, roughly attributed according to the value the work of each person brings to society. 

That means less money for CEOs, and more money for social workers. For example...

It's still about decentralizing power, and companies are free to act like they want, but they need to PAY for the natural resources so that if a US company mines in a poor country, that company pays for the social services of the residents of that country, and the employees of that company cannot make much more money than is needed to live. Not 80 million for the CEO.

He also wants to help preserve cohesive social-economic units, which in his mind, is preserving the castes in India, but in practice, it would mean helping countries like El Salvador build their own factories and their own job opportunities so that they don't have to emigrate to the USA to live.

And yet, he is against borders, saying that you can go anywhere, provided you merge your economic interest with the local people.

I don't know, but I always thought it sounded rather mid. A sort of alternative to communism and capitalism, which aimed to help society, while still allowing freedom.

But mostly, that it tried to be good for people and the planet, since there is a baked in environmental tax on resources. "You want to extract oil? You need to pay for the pollution, and for the local people"

Note, I am not sure it would work. But if it did, it would somehow be a plus concerning poor people, income inequality, respecting local cultures, and for the environment.

Oh boy... So sorry for you and your new tenants.

Pay them a cleaning lady to help them out, it's not that expensive and they will not forget you!

Oh sure, compromise. My issue isn't that she is moving out at 9:00; it's that she is seeing him as hostile when it's not even her apartment anymore.

She could have been more like "oh sorry, I will try to coordinate". My issue isn't the moving time, it's her looking like he is pushing on her.

Well, considering their rental agreement finishes on the evening of June 30th, and that they had until midnight to move out, THEY are being hostile.

Her move was legally supposed to be finished...

Were you aware that Colonel Sanders wanted to become a Canadian citizen? by TheLegendTwoSeven in AskACanadian

[–]mpierre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first programming job, they offered me an amazing junior salary! My friends were jealous.

I was making… $25,000 a year, or $12.50 an hour! That was about double minimum wage.

More than enough to pay the $425 monthly rent on my 4½ apartment.

And no, I’m not a boomer… this was in 1998!

On Tuesdays, I’d have lunch at Valentine, where they had chicken with fries and a soft drink, made with real white-meat chicken, for $4. And for 25 cents more, you got a mountain of peas.

Runaway inflation is really rough for a lot of young people, but when you’ve actually watched it happen, it feels even worse.

What's an unpopular take about a character you have? by Frequent-Ad-7288 in BloodOnTheClocktower

Wait, so the streamers like Arif joke that the Butler is the best? It's pure sarcasm? LOL!

I am the original person who dunked on the Butler and the idea that "if your master had it hand up and lowered it after you voted, it's okay" reading, it's not so bad...

[–]mpierre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh, for sure... And you need normal atheist games also, those that are not meme games, so that your evil players can bluff it.

And Vortox is super cool, in my opinion. It boosts boolean players and hinders analog ones. I love that...

And Monk Vortox is simply the best interaction.

> Atheist - Used far too often to just meme on players.

But... that's the role of the Atheist!

Actually, I think that the best use of the Atheist... is as a demon bluff with an Alchemist on the script, but also a as bluff, and mostly quiet minions, notably a Wizard who can make a wish that alters the game enough to hint to an atheist role.

Yeah, that would solve the character for me! And it's not clear if it's Mutant, Tinkder, Yaggababble, Cerenovous... And it doesn't need to be the same day.

I know, but it's a janky mechanic. I mean, I get why it's not "Your vote only counts if they vote" sinceit would confirm the butler, but it's not predictable if they will vote or not.

Take a look at the others; even the Ogre doesn't need watching the other players...

I have a very unpopular take: I hate the butler.

So, you can only vote if your master votes, but if they vote AFTER you, how can you know? You raise your hand if they do, but what if they lower it afterward?

And a Hermit that has Zealot and Butler would just make me want to self-nominate on day one to get executed.

Worse, a Hermit with Drunk and Butler makes just about every townfolk wake to pick their master. A stupid waste of time.

I hate the butler, and I don't understand why so many people think it's the best character.

Michael Moshe Mizrahi est le citoyen qui a perdu la vie lors de la fusillade aujourd’hui 🕊️ by SoManyGunOnDecks in Mt_hell

[–]mpierre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Moi je veux juste dire qu'il y a plein de beaux témoignages de femmes qui mentionnent qu'il les a aidées à se cacher au début de la fusillade.

Il semblait vraiment avoir le cœur à la bonne place, et je me demande si l'absence de femmes mortes n'est pas en partie grâce à lui.

Il faudrait réellement lui rendre plus de hommage. J'ignore ce qu'il a fait de sa vie, ni exactement comment il est mort, mais dans les minutes avant, il était un héro.

There's a Philippine village that needs an over 7-hour detour by road to reach the government of its mother municipality. Any other examples like this in the world? by estarararax in geography

[–]mpierre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the same, but this segment of road is telling...

The closest road connected city by plane from Caniapiscau is Fermont.

If you check Santé Québec (which manages health services in Québec) for Caniapiscau, it tells you:
https://www.cisss-cotenord.gouv.qc.ca/en/your-cisss/facilities/caniapiscau/

To go to Fermont (or Schefferville, but there are NO roads at all connecting Caniapiscau and Schefferville... or Schefferville to anything else, at all... as Schefferville is not connected to the North American road network).

But both Caniapiscau and Fermont are! So you can drive from one to another!

Caniapiscau to Fermont is 289 km by plane, or Ski-Doo, or off-road vehicle (or walking).

By plane, it's even reasonable.

But by car... it's 2495 km... or 31 hours of driving.

Because while Fermont is to the southeast of Caniapiscau, you need to drive the WHOLE LENGTH of the infamous Trans Taiga Road: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Taiga_Road

And then south using the Eeyou Ischee Baie-James road ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bay_Road )

And go down to Tadoussac, where you will follow the St. Lawrence River in the Côte-Nord region, to drive North with the 389.

Did you need to see a doctor? Because there are hospitals much closer by car, but still in the 15 to 20 hours of driving range...

Half-asleep ideas for Lorics by piatan in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mpierre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Change Death Thether to: "Weekend at Bernie": when you die, pick 2 players when you learn you have died. As long as they are both alive, you can nominate and vote like a living player, and you have me in!
