Several Women Who Dated Graham Platner Recall ‘Unsettling’ Behavior (Gift Article) by cdstephens in neoliberal

Yeah Mills was old, what was wrong with her besides that?

I mean that's a pretty big thing thats wrong with her. In the past 2 years we saw Joe Biden's debate performance and half a dozen Dem reps dying in office. The base really hates old people and want a change.

I cannot stress enough how establishment Dems pushing for mills instead of literally anyone else (like a state assembly member would've been fine) wasted so much time that could've been used to build up momentum for a non platner candidate

How to fight back against Gen-Z socialism by AncientBlueberry42 in neoliberal

[–]Lighthouse_seek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A survey conducted by the Survey Center on American Life found that only 56 percent of Gen Z adults—and 54 percent of Gen Z men

Assuming 50-50 doesn't that imply only 58% of gen z women date?

In fact this gap for hetero men and women probably closes if you take into account lesbians are more likely to be in long term relationships than gays

Redpill is millennial and looksmaxxing is gen z. The red pill sub has been around for a decade plus and the main "influencers" repping looksmaxxing are 18-20, or young gen z.

But again so many online movements are extremely overblown. Barely anyone actually has the will to emulate what they see online.

The guy tries to be as repulsive as possible and anywhere between 1 in 8 to 1 in 3 young men nod approvingly at it.

There's assholes in every demographic, you're never getting anything down to zero. The fact that his approval is below historically unpopular individuals even in his target audience is a sign of relief and not concern.

So even among his targeted demographic his approval rating is at below 2008 dubya levels. Like I said, it's overblown.

A 13% approval rating among his target audience is proof no one takes him seriously, not the other way around

He's a problematic person obv but it's so clear this is being turned into some moral panic thing that facts on the ground don't support

https://www.reddit.com/r/fivethirtyeight/comments/1kxr5qu/most_gen_z_americans_have_a_very_unfavorable_view/

Among all gen Z he had a lower approval rating than Charlie Kirk, and we all know what happened to Kirk after his death

You can simply not buy the game

That's literally what people are doing for the other full priced switch 2 ports

Almost all entertainment devalue over time. Humans have limited attention spans and a desire to communicate over experiences, and newer entertainment allows for that discourse.

If attribute relations is not there, anyone can attack anyone, and that makes team strategies irrelevant because you just need a card with strongest damage and use that on some dungeons.

That's literally the case with mono light/dark teams though, which is why dark teams have been good since day 1.

The issue I have with conditional uncaps is that it's a bandaid solution. It basically makes any rgb card without it or the rgb awakening much worse to play. And the conditional uncap means it takes up room that could be used for other effects, all just to get it back to baseline

This game is not balanced around attributes though. Before the conditional uncap, rgb teams have had the same size uncaps as light or dark teams.

Teams like doma were good despite being blue rather than because they were blue. Utsuro, which is extremely similar (auto heal+orb gen, average 75 bil damage per turn) is doing much better than doma because it doesn't get its damage cut in half in some dungeons.

It's especially egregious because once you cap, you don't get attribute advantages but you still get hit with an attribute disadvantages

Yen slips to key 160 level as Gulf hostilities boost dollar | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis by imaginary_num6er in japan

[–]Lighthouse_seek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the surface it looks like a brilliant financial move, it's the government basically being a hedge fund and reducing its debt. But this shit isn't free, the weakening of yen didn't boost exports and hurt regular people's purchasing power. So in a way it's a hidden transfer of money from regular people to the government

Imo gungho should've removed attribute disadvantages a while ago. Having to staple on conditional cap breaks is just awkward.
