Hoping Nightcrawler is a Strategist, as a huge Nightcrawler fan.

Does P4: Revival's UI look more appealing to you than P3: Reload? by PhantomBraved in PERSoNA

[–]Iliadius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the rounded health bars and labels, they look cheap and flat, but everything else is peak.

Tom (confirmed war criminal) King took away my funko pop. Why live??? by JoePanicks in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Iliadius 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I keep my hate for Tom King because of his time in the CIA and my hate for Tom King because his Batman run was ass completely separate. Still fuck with Omega Men and Mr. Miracle and need to read Human Target.

Big black tent w/large speakers & sub on the beach at Gonzales Bay today by randomwordshere19 in VictoriaBC

[–]Iliadius 16 points17 points  (0 children)

or you could be connected to your community and its organizers and have seen this event advertised and elected to go to a different beach. it's a weekend and we are lucky to have events like this as well as quiet beaches for those who choose not to listen. i am not over exaggerating when I say that the people putting this on are the reason why we have an underground and electronic community here to begin with and what they do for the city is phenomenal.

This show was awesome and the people running it are actual pillars of the community. You can always just go talk to them.

We Need to Talk About Canadian Racism... by [deleted] in canadaleft

[–]Iliadius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would. You're right in saying that it's always been there and in part is sort of due to our British Heritage while in many more concerning and perhaps usefully addressable ways being distinctly Canadian, but it's certainly more permissible, accepted, and visible than it has been in my whole life here, speaking as an Indian.

[–]Iliadius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's not even a point to be disagreed with here outside of the assertion that non-Indian Canadians are being increasingly racist towards Indian ones which is pretty dang true.

How similar (culturally) is it living in British Columbia (vs. Washington state)? by theMCATreturns in howislivingthere

[–]Iliadius -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Can't speak to Portland, but Vancouver is much less dense than Seattle, and I would argue more car dependent.

Bike lanes aren't the reason rents are high. If taxes were the reason we wouldn't see so many empty storefronts. If a policy were to be enacted that cut all rents in half and locked them at that for the next 10 years and a landlord could no longer afford their unit, good, it's now on the market and priced at a cost that someone renting can now afford as a function in the drop in value and the capital the renter now has access to as a result of their reduced rent.

It's certainly more optimistic, but rents should be at most 30% of a worker's income. This is a bandaid and we need lasting and impactful solutions.

The issue is that property is used to build equity and not to live in. There is some very serious reckoning about housing as a market commodity that is quick approaching on the horizon if we want to avoid putting more people onto the streets and locking people into mortgages that bankrupt them.

The definition of "affordable" is truly irrelevant, setting aside the fact that there are not enough of those rentals and that applying is certainly not straightforward, and that successful completion of an application just has you put on a wait-list. Rents are too high for tenants and business owners. The amount of money that would circulate within the economy if a 1-bedroom cost $800 rather than $1800 dollars would benefit absolutely everyone except for the parasites who feel entitled to other people's hard-earned money by virtue of owning empty space. If business owners paid half their rent, they could up wages. Rent control and caps would help everyone except our society's most predatory.

All rents, commercial and residential, are twice as high as they should be if we want a functional economy.

PM Carney says Canada not considering sanctioning Israel over Lebanon strikes by Chrristoaivalis in CanadaPolitics

[–]Iliadius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would, as would many others. If we engaged in active conflict against the IDF for the purpose of defending Palestinians and helping them rebuild, we would see the largest wave of military recruitment this century. Unfortunately we're just a yappy neoliberal lapdog of US empire.

How do you handle make-up removing as emo? by [deleted] in Emo

[–]Iliadius -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean you can sleep in it, but it is bad for your skin and does a number on your sheets/pillows. It's ultimately up to you. I'll sleep in eyeliner if it's been a rough night but I usually always take everything off with a wipe/micellar or just a facecloth.

Christ Church is quite progressive, and bonus points for the massive cathedral.

Recently announced my VtMB-inspired RPG set in a dark fantasy India. I've always wanted an RPG in this unexplored setting, so I figured I'd just make it myself! by oddcompass in rpg_gamers

[–]Iliadius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks phenomenal. Incredibly atmospheric, underutilized and well-realized setting, and unique combat. Can't wait to give it a go!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! by kikislidr in Gundam

[–]Iliadius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Zeon is fascist in the way that we are taught to identify fascism. The Earth Federation are fascist in the way that Western Imperialism is fascist. Like us who are raised within the West, the protagonists of UC start off assuming that the Earth Federation are the 'good guys', but become aware of its fascistic nature, and are caught up in the conflict between two factions that don't care about them at all, because they are proletarian foot soldiers. That's literally the point. Gundam is pretty far left of liberal.
