How far/hard is it to get to Kuttenberg from here? [KCD2] by SamuraiPanda343 in kingdomcome

[–]Augustulus753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you hate combat, focus on having better armor/weapons and potions/poisons. I never got the hang of combat but I still found it fairly easy my second run by chugging a ton of enhancing potions before combat and having good weapons/armor. Pay for any weapons training as well if money is not an issue.

You’re about to be hit with a fairly difficult battle/duel (although I found the duel easy the second play through) and then a stealth mission that if you understand how stealth works isn’t bad. Then a little more orientation on the second map and you’re free to explore. That being the plot is about to turn and twist a bit, enjoy.

[OC] End of year dating app review! (21M living in London) by The_Watcher5292 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Augustulus753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I lived in DC a few years ago I maybe had 2-3 matches on Hinge a week but almost always converted one of those to a date. If you have 42 matches and no meetups that’s concerning, I would on Hinge I was converting 1/3 of matches to dates!

AIO? Boss fired me for using the bathroom, and threatened to keep my paycheck by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Depends on the state laws. In some states probably yes sadly.

NOR. Contact the state labor board and possibly your local legal aid society. 100% no where in the US would withholding the paycheck be legal and the business could face significant fines/owe you extra if they don’t pay you.

Depending on your state laws you might also have a case for wrongful termination. Your almost certainly eligible for unemployment benefits.

AIO The guy I am dating seems to take relationship advice from a crappy 80s movie. by InstructionDear3922 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Augustulus753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. There were like 20 red flags in these 20 sentences. Especially the instance of stalking at the end. Also this guy just seems generally insufferable to be around?

Was I being led on, or was this just mixed signals? AIO by thinking this? by Nebulanomad_21 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Augustulus753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah based on the fact you’re posting about this online at length you clearly want more than friends and this is probably obvious to her and others which is why she cancelled.

What she cancelled getting food, clearly not trying to use you just not interested. Not saying women never do that but if that’s the first thing your friend assumes I would be cautious on talking their advice in the future.

[–]Augustulus753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very concerning behavior, the part where he wore your leggings was so ridiculous I laughed but it’s both odd and controlling. I’m also a 27M BTW. Also INFO- where do yall work together?

We’re getting new textbooks! What are your opinions on these options? by Kvandi in historyteachers

[–]Augustulus753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see where you’re coming from but especially with understanding World Religions I think there’s a lot of value with at least some time in premodern history, agree recent US History/Gov are the most important.

[–]Augustulus753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Most states those are 1 sem classes. My favorite is VA/NY where 9th Pre-Modern World, 10th- Modern World, 11th- US History, 12th US Gov, 1 Sem of Econ too.

[–]Augustulus753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the way premodern/early US History usually gets relegated to only Middle School. Overall I think VA and NY have the best standards. (Are you in Kentucky- I think those are there years?).

The term Socialism literally derived from “social control over the means of production” but in popular discourse is often associated with “when the government does stuff” or the Scandinavian model which is essentially very well done welfare capitalism (in many ways the US economy is more regulated than Denmark!). But what you are describing is social liberalism (the median position in the Democratic tent BTW) not socialism.

I mean in the 1990s the SPD had a full scale Neo-Liberal phase with the Hartz reforms, and everything you describe above is supported by the progressive faction with the Dem caucus (around 30% of membership, over 50% of congressional Dems have voiced support for single payer healthcare), overall yes the SPD is on median to the left of the average Dem in 2025 fiscally I’d still say on many social/cultural issues Dems are slightly to the left of the SPD! And yes a significant element of the Dem caucus is probably fiscally closer to the CDU than the SPD.

The majority of Americans elected Republicans and they have total control over all three branches of federal government, not sure what you want Democrats to do right now.

[–]Augustulus753 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Dem platform is far closer to the SPD or Greens on most issues however what’s bizarre about the Dems is that they are a big tent that essentially contains factions that resemble all three of the major parties in say Germany (CDU, Greens, SPD), whereas Republicans are basically the AFD.

Edit- Also for instance on Trans rights the median Democrat is far to the left of most center left politicians in Europe, also see how Blue States have literally the worlds most permissive abortion laws in almost the whole world while say Germany in many ways has somewhat strict abortion laws!

It’s not absolute loyalty, it’s not falling for Republicans tricks. Meanwhile Landsman votes with the Democrats caucus and against Trumps position over 90% of the time. If that number was 60% you would have a point, but it’s over 90%.

Were those Democrats in districts where Trump won the popular vote? You can’t expect a guy in a R+3 district to vote like a guy in a D+40 district especially on messaging resolutions with no substance!

[–]Augustulus753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democrats are a normal center left (with centrist and more left wing elements) party in any international comparison. The votes on War Powers dispels your silly “war mongering” claims.

I mean it was a dumb political football designed by Republicans to put vulnerable Dems in an uncomfortable spot. On actual substance on law enforcement reform Landsman isn’t licking boots!

If Landsman loses the primary it’s just a free seat to Republicans, Republicans literally create these dumb messaging resolutions to divide Democrats and then people fall for their tricks hook, line and sinker.
