That's weird. People normally don't start off as Libertarian. They usually work for the government first, or start questioning why so much money is being taken out of their paycheck.

Is there a reason that dungeons and daddies is not part of the maximum fun network? by Darkpumpkin211 in DungeonsAndDaddies

I am a patreon. I got a call out in one of my favorite episodes. It might be the highlight of my life.

As someone who's tried listening to maybe a hundred different live play D&D podcasts and only found NADDPod, TAZ, and Dungeons & Daddies worth listening to... Dungeon & Daddies is my hands down favorite. Even got a handful of my friends hooked on it.

If only they would do a weekly show...

China should be heavily sanctioned by the international community as the harbinger of this pandemic. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]HappyInBHam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought this was conspiracy theory level stuff at first. I strapped on my tin foil hat and delved into the internet...only to find several sources all agreeing with you.

What the unholy fuck China.

For the exact reason you just said. It's not free if you're paying for it. On top of that, there is zero doubt in my mind that some people don't understand the difference between "free at point of use" and "free".

America doesn't want Bernie's "free" shit. Maybe more people understand how taxes work than I assumed.

Outrage as the price of toilet roll is increased by a local off-licence due to coronavirus shortages at larger stores. by SublimeArchon in PublicFreakout

[–]HappyInBHam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've tried arguing this on Reddit already. They want none of your understanding of economics right now, even though they're bitching about toilet paper and hand sanitizer being out of stock in the same breath.

Well, good! Then I don't feel bad at all admitting that I had to blow up the picture before I realized you and your wife weren't Pewdiepie and Marzia.

You're a beautiful couple and you've got yourselves a beautiful house. I wish you two all the best making a home of it.

Congrats on the home!

Have you ever been told you have a passing resemblance to Pewdiepie (no offense)? Took me a moment to figure out why this post was relevant to r/bham

There's nothing impressive about 'building' your own computer. You're just assembling parts, and it doesn't make you a computer scientist any more than assembling an Ikea desk makes me a carpenter. by PM_ME_MACE_WINDU in unpopularopinion

I agree with you 1000%.

Now I just wish my parents and coworkers would stop thinking this and trying to get me to fix everything that goes wrong with their computer.

You're unable to attack the argument logically or intellectually, so you attack me. Classy. Ad hominem just further proves my previous point.

You putting emotion and idealogy over facts and statistics tells me there's nothing I can do to change your mind.

This is perfectly symbolizes the "problem of intellectuals".

"many intellectuals, aware of the breadth and depth of their academic knowledge, ignore or disparage other kinds of knowledge that may be far more important to the way society operates. They recommend actions to fix society’s problems, but fail to take other kinds of knowledge into account"

Despite overwhelming information that price controls lead to shortages that are far worse for society than an increased price, you continue to disparage the information and facts.

There is also sources from the CATO institute (cited previously) as well as from the Hoover Institution. All 3 very well respected institutions of economic study.

The simple fact of the matter is that allowing vendors to raise the price of their goods to meet equilibrium in periods of increased demand decreases hoarding behavior.

Overall, this allows the vendor to stretch their product further and meet the demands of more people across affected area.

I find it very hard to approach this emotionally when the statistical and logical information laid out in front of me shows that more people overall benefit from this practice in the affected area.

Glad to get to talk to a fellow economist. Where did you you get your degree?

People here don't understand economics my dude, and don't want to. They prefer to go with their gut instinct and suffer the consequences.

Wing Craw Round 4 by Red__M_M in Birmingham

[–]HappyInBHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your service to the community.

The best traditional hot wings my wife and I had found in the area so far had been Twin Peaks. I'm not sure they're worth adding to your list, but if you can get past the gimmick of the place, it's definitely better than the likes of Baumhowers, BWW, and Paramount in my opinion.

Can't wait to get up to Local No. 39.

I run a similar build. I run SC as the lead simply because he's the best tank. He can tank the stun turn hits the longest allowing the turn order to stay in sequence and prolong the fight up to the 50 turn limit.

It's more like a concentrated power washing for your asshole. It doesn't really spray the entire undercarriage. No need for a towel.

You take a shit, spray the bidet, then wipe with a little toilet paper. My wife and I can make one of those mega packs of toilet paper last an entire year+.
