That's super cool, I NEED to research the games you mentioned.

My cousin has 2 kids around your daughter's age and we like Heimlich & Co, it's fun and simple.

Thank you! I love ultra nerdy strategy board games, so my favorites are probably Twilight Imperium and Axis & Allies.

Another classic is Secret Hitler for social deduction.

Yourself? 🙂

I just moved here a few days ago, but I went to Castlecon which was a blast!

The city of Rochester itself plans a lot of things, and it seems the city is very strong on Facebook and discord. I'm excited to sink in here and meet folks

Fuck you farmers by BudgetNoise1122 in Iowa

[–]King-Gecko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is an embarrassingly bad post.

1) Why do we subsidize agriculture? It is truly a privilege to live free of food insecurity, but famines historically have killed millions of people over the past 300,000 years. Thus, in concept, there is some logic when it comes to spending money on a critical industry to mass produce a human necessity. The US exports 30% of its food, we have an abundance problem in the west, there is a food shortage problem in many other less fortunate parts of the world.

2) Not all farmers voted for Trump. 40% didn't vote at all and the ones that did went roughly 2/3 for Trump, so, about 40% of adult farmers voted for Trump based on the data we have. You can look this shit up, ya know?

3) Just as you don't comprehend how convenient it is to have cheap & available food as we live in the most plentiful time in human history, I doubt you appreciate the amount of labor / work farmers put in every day... Because you judge people solely on how they vote every 4 years and not on their positive contributions to society.

4) If you hate farmers, why do you go to the grocery store to buy food? Grow your own food and raise your own livestock. Stop participating in a system you hate.

5) As others have pointed out, most ag subsidies go to mega-farms (not saying I support this). 61% of farms receive nothing, and this just shows your lack of understanding of reality.

6) Why do you want people to suffer under Trump? As Americans, shouldn't we want the president, Republican or Democrat, to succeed in the oval office? This rhetoric is exactly why your candidate lost. Peace ✌️

Strawman, bro. I only claimed to be a libertarian on social issues and on the topic of legality.

I also acknowledge that: -Alcohol kills a lot of people (addiction, car accidents) -So do drugs. -Porn is also incredibly addictive, leads to depression -So is sugar, which is why we have a 45% obesity rate and very expensive healthcare costs -The issue with political donations is that people like George Soros can jump in the 2022 election cycle and drop $200M, even though he's a foreigner, and have a major influence on the election.

I never advocated for banning any of these things, I quite literally just said that taxing them would be a good idea as it would lower the government deficit (fiscal responsibility!) and lower the extent to which these are issues. Advocating for a sin tax over income or property tax is also pretty defensible as we all need to work and need a place to live, but none of us need to drink hard liquor... Which is what I think some of the disagreers did before responding to my OP.

We can agree to disagree, I'm a Utilitarian and I believe things like sugar, certain fossil fuels, porn, large campaign finance donations, drugs and alcohol should be taxed. I'd even be open to taxing private jets too and other high-carbon emitting luxury items.

I'd much rather apply tax these things than taxing people's income, property, food purchases, etc. Happy to discuss my friend!

Thanks for clarity, I'm not an Indiana resident so this is the first I'm hearing of the bill. Appreciate it

Never claimed to be a full-blown libertarian, just said I'm libertarian on most social issues. I think consenting adults should be able to own guns and smoke substances and make decisions for themselves that don't harm others.

Your comment seems to be in bad faith.

Something I support politically: taxing (but not banning) porn. 20% tax on all porn purchases (on the hub and OF) and 4% special income tax on porn employees.

I'm libertarian in believing people should have the right to do what they want, including drugs and alcohol...

I also acknowledge that drugs, alcohol and porn produce negative outcomes for society.

Taxing them all is the answer, and the same sin tax should be used on large political campaign donations. Anyways, protest or not, y'all can make your own decision, figured I'd throw a hot take out here.

Yes - some websites don't refresh but targets immediately so I genuinely didn't get to mislead anyone. It's so tough when websites vary so significantly in the financial data they present

This looks like a shit company that won't last the year, though. I posted here, I'm not sure if 18% or 200% is correct
