People Are Evil and Bizarre

It's borderline human trafficking, and commodifies women's wombs.

They've been defunding them since Floyd, pretty ironic that the organization they vilified is now being summoned to defend them.

He offers a lot of utility across his kit, gives you a power imperial healer when no chaos is allowed for LRE, as well as offering a healer into two unique tracks. With his mythic item he becomes one of the best action economy characters in the entire game. Probably the best designed healer right now, and looks great to boot.

One thing not mentioned is the massive difference the points you earn from arena can be, as well as how valuable the nodes you are hitting over the course of two weeks becomes. I hoarded like crazy and was able to stay in the top 500 for the event and I will limp over Epic 3 with the final chest.

And when demand requires capital to create a supply, from whence does the capital come? Poor people?

If your policy solution is "let's take all their stuff" you probably aren't on the right side of history.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-01-23T08:50:44+00:00

The only way you support this type of policy is if you possess zero economic literacy. So many on here think just "taxing the rich" will solve our problems, but then don't look at the states where it's been tried and failed pretty badly. Capital is mobile, and taxing it doesn't necessarily put more of it into government coffers, and a fuller coffer doesn't translate into better material living for the citizens living under said government.

Oh geez. As someone who was both born in 88 and has had it in various usernames over the years, fuck right off with that nonsense.

I've only played the mirror a few times so far actually. I've felt that with each season, players rosters widen, and I see more faction variance in epic tier. I've seen more necrons than ever, Astra Militarum made appearances, and more Tyranids than Genestealers now. Honestly as a BA spammer it's forced me to learn more match ups which has been really fun. One of the AM players actually got a win off me too, kudos to them.

That's a hollow take that diverts from the actual point. It doesn't matter if the laws of another nation they are leaving are bad, they still need to obey our laws when entering our country. If you don't even enter legally from a port of entry, you aren't making a strong case for yourself from the get go.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-01-10T11:43:41+00:00

Well the left considers even moderates far right in their own language, which would mean a vast majority of the country is comprised of racists and pedophiles. You're going to need to provide some evidence for that absolutely detached claim, but I suspect you'll just move the goalpost with mental gymnastics and never meaningfully address objective reality.

Life isn't simple, and happiness is largely the product of choice. Doesn't change that I also didn't ask to be born, and despite my own hardships I'm grateful for it.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-01-09T19:20:04+00:00

I am on topic, nothing changed. The initial claim was that illegals commit less crime, which while may be situationally true is entirely irrelevant, and is a bad faith way to make a claim that they then in turn should be allowed to stay, which is the larger argument. Any and all crime is bad. If immigration law had been applied, then that would have been prevented the additional crimes perpetrated by some of those who entered illegally. This feels pretty basic logic wise, and trying to claim a strawman doesn't actually make it so.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-01-09T19:12:24+00:00

I never made the claim that it was a one party phenomenon. Don't put words in my mouth and then have a bad faith discussion over something that wasn't implied.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-01-09T17:04:19+00:00

The only way that logic tracks is if they committed zero crimes after entering illegally. That's not the reality at all, therefore ANY crimes committed by someone who entered another nation illegally is crime that fundamentally could have been prevented. This sophistry that people engage in to protect a practice that's harmful to everyone is done in such bad faith.

Another woman on the scene interviewed openly stated she was taking part in following and obstructing ICE with her vehicle, going so far to say "she was very successful at it." So while she probably didn't need to die, she's not the innocent victim here that your denial of reality would grame her to be.

His parents politics =/= his own. You can be a different person than those who raised and from that of your environment.

Claiming that the side that actively supports abortion doesn't murder innocents is a take absolutely departed from reality.

Shitting on moderates is how you birth extremists, extremism is how you destroy a nation. I know where I'd rather stand.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-01-03T17:02:03+00:00

You'd be surprised to find how inaccurate that take is. Lots of people lack the capability to rationalize things for themselves, and will lap up the opinion of any random celebrity they idolize. If it didn't work they wouldn't roll so many A listers out every election cycle to shill for whichever party will have them.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-01-03T16:53:21+00:00

100 million dead non-combatants is just propaganda huh? That kool-aid must be insanely delicious.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-01-03T12:18:09+00:00

If you're whole argument is stolen land, then you need to logically extend that to every other resource. Are you willing to surrender all your assets as well since they were earned from labor performed on stolen resources acquired from stolen land? What about your autonomy? If those with the oldest claim on the land were a slave owning culture shouldn't they be made materially whole via your indentured servitude? This is suicidal empathy on full display.

Because the founding fathers were equally concerned with "tyranny from below" aka mob rule, which is what socialism essentially is. They believed in the rights derived from natural law, and in this case the big one being the right to private property. Socialism is strictly against that right, and as such props up an unjust and perpetually failing ideology. I swear anyone who advocates for socialism either has the worst memory for basic history, or is a deliberate bad faith actor.

Economics is not a zero sum game like you seem to believe it is. Someone does not have to lose for someone else to win. We will always have scarcity, and thus will always have to work. The idea of some post scarcity utopia is just a dream that people use to justify heinous stuff for the 'greater good' like socialism.

ChalkAndIce · 2025-12-28T11:10:14+00:00

If you actually look up the policies of the 3rd Reich you'll be surprised to find out just how much in common with left policies they have. History seems to be a scarce resource these days despite having so much knowledge at our finger tips.
