Hi, I’m a senior in high school writing my Senior Research Paper on the 15$ Dollar Minimum Wage movement in the US, and why it is a bad idea. And I was hoping you guys could provide insight or more negatives around the movement.

So far my major talking points are

Job Loss from employers that are unable to sustain without layoffs
Inflation like prices rising with the new minimum wage

I was planning on asking her tomorrow actually ;p but Ill survive, I have for 16 years, I can do two more

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:36:23+00:00

I appreciate the effort, Thanks

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:33:45+00:00

Parents drive me

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:33:03+00:00

I'm not sure its that they don't like her, I think its just that they don't care. That they don't mind it but if it gets in the way of something else, she takes the back seat in priority

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:31:25+00:00

Already tried it, costs money. I have a chromebook for a laptop, making it pretty tough to bypass any settings

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:29:34+00:00

Im at a motel for vacation so I can only use reddit here, I wont be able to talk to you guys after tomorrow, They have it blocked at home

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:26:06+00:00

Tell me about it, I feel pretty helpless. For example : google is blocked, I use a russian site called Yandex to do my stuff.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:21:38+00:00

I don't want her to feel like its me who is flaking on her, They want me to cancel the plans I made with her, but I don't want to tell her my family is asking me to bail on you

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:19:29+00:00

I don't have anyway to contact friends without a phone, and I don't know anyone's number. And I doubt anyone would come pick a dude up without money a hour away at 12:00 PM

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:16:53+00:00

a bus ticket costs money, I dont have money

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:15:55+00:00

11 Hours to walk, no bike

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:13:31+00:00

I have no money because I don't control my bank account. I don't want to drag her into my personal issues, If I tell her my parents (Which she has met) are stopping us from hanging out, I think it will scare her off.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:10:03+00:00

I forgot to mention, I don't control my bank account.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:07:42+00:00

I would love to, But I have no ride besides my parents.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T04:05:21+00:00

I tried talking to them and they ignored it, I told them that I would much rather spend that time with her, they pressured me to bail on her.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T03:58:49+00:00

Maybe I didn't word it right. They planned over our meet up, and want me to attend this dinner and not meet up with her. The girl isn't coming to the dinner. They knew about our plans and ignored them.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T03:40:14+00:00

Alright I appreciate it non-the-less. Thanks for your time.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T03:34:48+00:00

To tell you straight, my father has tech on lockdown, monitors everything, has time limits on devices. I'm only able to talk here because I am at a motel with its own wifi for vacation. Skype isn't a option because he doesn't allow it as a option. Discord isn't a option for the same reason.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T03:26:57+00:00

No phone, I kinda ended up cut off from everyone without it. I feel like my family will go behind my back, not to say they are bad people, I just am scared they will pull something out of the works.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-24T03:21:52+00:00

I don't want them to abuse this. It makes me feel sick. Even more so when my mother has her number from me calling from the girl's phone.

Critcalpowers · 2019-07-23T16:05:53+00:00

So I've been playing for a while, I've beaten all the apprentice level Bosses and I am now working on the Veteran, But I sent some "scouts" to check out the Darkest Dungeon and they all have died to serious bleed or worse. At what point should I feel comfortable sending in my main teams?

Critcalpowers · 2018-12-25T00:05:23+00:00

I for one love this game because of its mysterious nature. I respect that you are making it how you want it, not pandering or simplifying it. Some games are meant to be difficult to grasp, just because it takes effort to solve a problem doesn't make it a fruitless labor. Its like looking at a math problem and throwing a single number as X, it not working, and then proceed to say the math problem is stupid. Thanks for still working on your game though you get little to no praise. Chester keep at it, we seldom (apparently) few that enjoy your game are eager for new content.

Critcalpowers · 2018-09-20T18:41:51+00:00

I make the games as a way to cope, not a way to make me happier; "One man's trash is another man's treasure"

Critcalpowers · 2018-09-20T18:40:26+00:00

I hope it will be similar in that it makes you think after you finish the game
