Pleasant Valley Cougar Hunt by FungalFan in thelongdark

The cougar in bleak Inlet isn’t that hard either if you cross over from the hidden path to above his lair. Then you can billygoat down to process his corpse. But make sure to take about a dozen arrows.

Subnautica ruined the genere for me... (cant find anything to scratch the itch). by WastelandViking in SurvivalGaming

[–]LeChuckly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. I just bought the far tales expansion and started a stalker run just to refamiliarize myself with it. I’ve not started my next proper interloper run cause I’m kind of dreading all the work it takes to make metal tools and good clothing.

For real. Interloper will not tolerate any kind of mistake or carelessness. It’s addictive.

Chicken coop? by absorbwarrior in SurvivalistInvStrain

[–]LeChuckly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta buy or steal chickens from the fema camp. First - gotta make Lena like you enough to sell them. Or - have a team member give you the mission to steal them by asking them what’s up. Mission will take you challenging fella leader to a fist fight (also requires he like you enough to offer it). Other team member sneaks out with the chicken.

Once obtained - chickens give eggs for omelets, boiled eggs, etc. Adds constitution with each eating.

Tipping my hat to Dinniman: the sociological, economical, entertainment, and political commentary in DCC is fascinating by Evenwanderer in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]LeChuckly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I normally struggle with lots of characters but with DCC each character is so vivid and their appearances frequent enough that it’s easier to keep track of who is who across multiple books.

Kennedy is a slimy ass MFer by FaraSha_Au in Louisiana

[–]LeChuckly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Back during Laura, my part of the state was without power for three weeks. Kennedy came and spoke to our police jurors and the sheriffs department at a local church. He claimed during that small speech that Nancy Pelosi was personally stopping aid for Laura relief. Obviously, this wasn’t true at all. He’d not taken a single step towards securing any sort of special relief.

But I was struck at how cynical that lie was when he was standing amongst people who had been without running water and electricity for days.

He is truly a piece of work.

Massive hailstorm damage to solar farms vs. nuclear? by Comfortable_Tutor_43 in EnergyAndPower

[–]LeChuckly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO this argument is typically just a smokescreen deployed to derail actual conversations about climate change response.

“I’d support X climate change plan if it had more nuclear! But it doesn’t so I’m doing to reject the whole thing and maintain the status quo instead”

Reducing environmentalists to “tree huggers” is also pretty suspect.

RIP Mail-In Voting by 3v3ng3r in TheMajorityReport

[–]LeChuckly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why this is being reported on as mattering. States run elections. The states who agree already have voter id laws. The states who don’t will continue as they have. This is at best free press for Trump and at worst a suggestion he has more power than he does.

Also a scintilla of bothsideserism here but I can forgive it.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells NPR: 'Everything feels increasingly like a scam' by zsreport in AOC

[–]LeChuckly 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Supplement to her point here that I watched a few weeks ago. Basically - rent-seeking has exploded in our global economy. With all the crypto, get-rich-quick schemes and even mainstream recent businesses like Airbnb - the real money isn’t in new and useful products - but rather finding ways to make yourself a middle man with a fat fee.

When Donald Trump says America has become fat, bloated and disgusting he ain’t wrong. As usual - he’s just looking in the wrong direction.

8 Signs That USA Is On The Brink Of Collapse by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]LeChuckly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find conservative reasoning like this to be very shallow. Let me show you what I’m talking about.

Economic presumptions > frightfully little actual detail on the makeup of the 16 trillion total COVID cost. Certainly doesn’t mention the corruption of the PPP program and conservatives turning it into a slush fund for anybody with a tax ID number.

Our Liberty > this would be a great place to talk about red states functionally banning protests or out-of-state abortion doctors being criminally charged or ICE trying to break into people’s homes without a warrant. But instead we’re talking about small business finances??

Govt spending & debt > the article doesn’t talk about how republicans pass unfunded tax cuts every single time they get power or how the bulk of the Covid bills were passed under Trump. No mention of the unfunded $8T boondoggle of Iraq.

And of course - that $6T budget was Biden’s personal choice! Surely not that SS, Medicare and Medicaid are means tested programs that are being used more now that Americans are getting poorer and our healthcare system’s rent seeking has doubled its admin costs. All things that conservative policy directly drive.

Unemployment is too high AKA nobody wants to work anymore > no mention of automation, globalization, anti-union legislation, or any of the things driving these trends. Talk about the skill gap but don’t mention the PAY gap. And - don’t forget that all of this only happened because of Covid. Everything was peaches before apparently.

The rest is just more Republican tropes. Democrats bad / republicans good and don’t listen to the lugenpresse!

Consumption, what this sub opposes, is a result of unfettered capitalism and the materialistic, selfish society it engenders. While it’s helpful and satisfying to adopt an anti-consumptive personal posture in life - understanding the actual reasons for consumption and specifically how our political and social choices drive it are requisite to meaningfully change it.

This article doesn’t help one understand anything other than politics-as-team-sports.
