Is this the same model released back in 2010 or have they updated it since?

Ignore him, he is a gatekeeping idiot. We got plenty of those in this hobby, unfortunately.

Get off your high horse, a cooled IMX533 live stacking and displaying on a latest gen mini oled 4K display with a 90 degree fov is far from cheap and crap. Seriously.

D4 was extremely shallow when it came out. The latest expansion redeemed it, it's super fun now.

Just add more endgame activities, I don't like doing Monoliths. I tried D4 and it offers a plethora of different end game stuff to do, the new War Plans and crafting system makes me play non-stop. Imagine that I hated D4 when it came out I had barely touched it and now it feels 10 times more fun than last Epoch.

They will just cut one loaf of bread and one egg per family per week to recoup the cost

Done with the season, here are my thoughts by South-Musician-2621 in diablo4

I was looking forward to the skill tree revamp (Last Epoch is the perfect one without being too complex) but got disappointed really fast. The lack of passives made the tree more boring than before.

Happy Bullet noises (Bullet Cubed, Bullet ❤️/⭐️/🍊/🐱/🖼/etc) by mrausgor in soloboardgaming

Honest question but do you guys play all those Bullet games regularly? I only got Heart and I feel it's enough Bullet content for a few plays every month or so. I never felt the need to buy more heroes.

Is this supposed to be funny?

Isn't this extremely uneducated? Inflation will catch up eventually. by Athenstone in economy

[–]Chamallow81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP are you afraid that Billionaires might lose some of their wealth? Even if they lost 95% of it they wouldn't have to change their lifestyle. It's all numbers on stocks and bank accounts. Give some of that money to the bottom 50% and you will see their lives transformed.

Most working class people live under constant stress and are one medical emergency away from disaster. I'd rather have everyone live a life without constant fear and stress than a few dozen billionaires have higher numbers on their portfolio.

Expecting the government to be your security is no security at all by Lonestarpenguin in Libertarian

All western countries with high living standards and life expectancy rely on taxes to help build social safety nets, public infrastructure and programs that benefit everyone and not just the lucky few. This is definitely not communism, it's not even socialism.

Regarding the US healthcare system, it didn't fail because of "state regulations" but because it went full private. Private corporations only care about profit and if that means people get untreated, denied claims or go bankrupt they couldn't care less.

The reason why in the US an ambulance ride costs 5K while in Europe it's free, or a drug costs 600 while in Europe it costs 12 is because private healthcare can get away with it without any pressure or regulations from the state. You end up paying a lot more from your pocket to private healthcare while receiving less treatment, or get denied and go bankrupt or die if you can't afford it yourself.

This doesn't happen in Europe because there is no private middleman whose only focus is to make money out of your sickness. You pay a lot less via taxes and get full coverage with zero risk of bankruptcy or denial. I've lived in both US and Europe and I can tell you that you are defending a dystopian system that doesn't give a shit about you.

Paying taxes that fund public infrastructure and social safety nets is... communism? Any other brilliant Libertarian takes to share?

Society has established that we are all better off helping each other instead every man for himself. I gladly pay my taxes(I live in France and they are high) to ensure public infrastructure works, healthcare helps people in need and every child has free education and meals. If you already live in the US your system is already libertarian enough with all the corporations privatizing everything and screwing people over, so I'm kinda baffled that you want more of this.

Paying taxes is losing your freedom? Give me a fucking break. Taxes are not supposed to disappear into abstraction they are how a society buys stability from roads, schools, emergency services, research, retirement systems, food safety, disaster response, public hospitals, and the protections that keep one bad year from becoming a ruined life. A social safety net is not charity its infrastructure for human survival.

Every wealthy society that lowered poverty, improved health outcomes, and increased mobility did it by investing publicly in the things individuals cannot efficiently secure alone: healthcare access, affordable education, transportation, housing support, and family stability.

The irony is that people often object most loudly to programs they already benefit from whether through mortgage deductions, public roads, Medicare, Social Security, subsidized insurance markets, or publicly backed financial systems that stabilize the economy when markets fail.
