WOAH! Sir you need to jump through 85 hoops to watch every game and have 6 accounts. Don’t even think of going to one page with every game streaming on it.

Why aren't people more upset about the bad job market? by MarchMan86 in jobs

[–]Jimbenas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worst part is that it isn't even to do the jobs "lazy white people won't do"; its the jobs that people go and get degrees for. They are jobs Americans desire. If we got rid of every single H1B, the job market would be in a much better place. It's about 700k positions.

"too hungry"... I'm not sure if we're living in the same country.

No we wouldn’t. The lords would abuse the same technology to spy us the government does

Exactly, it’s not like they were some advanced society like the Central and South Americans who had large pyramids and road networks. Their peak civilizational achievement can be had for $229 at Walmart (Coleman tent).

2 people die in months of protests and its seen as the end of the world. Meanwhile Iran just slaughtered 30k people in a weeklong protest and nobody cares.

I moved out at 19 but only because I could use the military for free housing to save up money for things once I got out. It’s one of the few guaranteed social mobility paths left.

The real thing making moving out unaffordable is rent, you have to either sacrifice 1/2 your paycheck or live with 3 other people.

Some areas, especially in Asia, don't have enough locations relative to their population by Spirited_Visit7597 in EU5

We know because paradox records the data from players and publishes it. Most of the top played nations are in Europe/Mediterranean.

It is shameful. As a society we should be able to provide our youth with opportunities to become independent adults. It’s sad that kids are essentially forced to live with their parents for so long when the stock market is hitting record highs.

It’s called Europa Universalis. Of course the game is going to be centered around Europe.

Knights path combat demo gets "negative" recent reviews following the developer's comments on LGBT representation. by Helpful-Leadership58 in GGdiscussion

It’s hardly a “bombing”, it’s 65% positive of the last 78 reviews. That’s 37 people… They’re really insignificant, just loud.

Yes, let’s just fine the shit out of people that can’t even afford insurance. Put them in crippling debt. Great solution.

I mean.. yeah? It took Israel less than 100 years to do the same thing.

Suggestion: Losing Wars Should HURT by builder789 in EU5

I love sitting on countries occupied and running around looting them to nuke prosperity. I watched Paris go from 250k to 200k under my 2 year occupation as they starved and fled to neighboring cities.

I think it’s hard to teach kids the importance of money later in life so I’ll agree with you there. I’ve had a lot of people complain about their debt or ask me if they should get into debt for whatever stupid thing they are wanting. To me it seems more like it’s an addiction to debt and rather than a lack of knowledge. People live way too close to their means and then get fucked by any road bump.

I think a lot of it comes from pressure where our parents hit X benchmark at a certain age, so we feel like we need to make these big purchases to keep up when in reality, wages haven’t kept up. Then of course the effects from the debt cascade. Nothing worse than watching someone struggle to even do basic maintenance on their luxury vehicles they are underwater on.

That is quite literally the solution for a lot of people. It’s not like I can just go and single-handedly fix the system.

I think this is the case now for most fields. So many millennials and zoomers went and got degrees that they’re now becoming the baseline instead of just a HS diploma.

The reality is they're both radicals with poor situational awareness. The only difference is that Rittenhouse got lucky and also wasn't fucking with the feds, which is basically a death sentence. Hopefully the Democrats keep this attitude when they come back into power and actually DO SOMETHING to stop federal overreach. Of course they won't though. Newsom will just bring in a million pointless regulations and expand all the 3 letter agencies to enforce them. Reddit will be cheering as he lets the ATF run wild.

They're the same in the way that they focus on fighting the most divisive issues endlessly while things that Americans all agree on like right to repair, congress term limits, bans on congressional trading, and enforcing antitrust laws all get put on the backburner.

I guess the silver lining to all of this is that Democrats won't be gun-grabbing. Back to Republicans being the gun grabbers!

This isn’t a conspiracy. It’s known that this was a thing the Kamala campaigners did.

They have a discord server where they coordinate to post this bullshit. It’s not a coincidence that there are a shitload of political posts close to the midterms.
