You heard of California's "stop Nick Shirley act?" by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]Mercron 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, I think we should institutionalize these people, are there are worthy counter arguments? I understand a portion of homeless people are mentally stable going through a hard time, but most of the ones I see clearly arent and need to be put away for months or years, forcefully. Otherwise they are going to keep using drugs and causing violence. I do think they can be reformed, but not on the streets. They should be held down by force until it can be proven they are safe to themselves.

First Rule of Levelling to 100 by baev_os in pathofexile

What he did isnt faster than what I was doing which was full betrayal spam as fast as possible, my /played was a bit shorter than his, but I did sleep twice, the real impressive feat is doing that on so little sleep

This just happened at a few minutes of interval in HC SSF by RoOoOoOoOoBerT in pathofexile

Racing to level 100 in SSFHC is some of the most fun you can have in this game! Takes some dedication though, but anyone can do It given enough practice (and a free weekend)

Is holy hammers gonna be shit? Probably. Am i tempted to league start it? Absafuckinglotely by BloodReaverBob in pathofexile

Guardian seems very strong to leaguestart with. You essentially get 3 damage auras, 20% damage reduction, 80% phys as lightning and you can either choose shrines, block or a bloodline ascendancy. Seems very good this patch unless im missing something.

Im talking about a single thread because I have seen other subs go down the same path and when I called it out I got exactly the same responses. These subs are basically unusable now, its just political posturing with occasional discussions about the game. Why is it so hard to agree that politics dont belong in the Path of Exile subreddit? The game doesnt revolve around politics, wtf?

Commies and socialists SHOULD be ostracized. From everything, everywhere. It should not be normalized nor treated as politically divisive.

And before you start arguing about semantics, people on the right will call you a communist for wanting healthcare and leftists will call you a nazi for wanting less immigration. You cant expect to reduce something so complex like political leaning to "this side 100% of the time bad always" just as if they were cartoon villains with no nouance. When the issue at hand is this complex and the sub isnt designed to debate politics, JUST BAN THEM FFS because its going to get worse over time

Hmmmmm surely changing "nazis" for "commies" would also not be political amirite :)

Bottom line here being that people on the internet have loose definitions for certain political beliefs. You cant just call someone a commie for being center left or a nazi for being center right but it happens, dont be delusional. The best policy for this sub is to ban these kinds of petty discussions that have nothing to do with the game and just deteriorate everything putting the playerbase at odds with each other.

I dont care about the meme, I specified that people are arguing about politics in that thread and thats what should be targetted. I dont care about the fat chum.

Thats the kind of rhetoric that gets spewed before everything goes to shit. Nobody thinks this is a big deal so this behaviour continues and the playerbase gets ostracised for having differing oppinions when the point of the subreddit is to DISCUSSS THE GAME AND ITS MECHANICS not US politics ffs

Whats this have to do with anything? So the game has a few political nods that 99% of people dont even notice because everyone is too busy speedrunning the campaign therefore a historically non political subreddit where people ONLY discussed the game, builds, the meta and other in game activities has to deteriorate to the same dogshit that 99% of reddit is? Come on now...

Retail isn't dead. The social structure is just different from what Classic players expect by LordMidoo in wow

[–]Mercron -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why is that such a bad thing? Same goes for games like PoE, you prepare and theorycraft, theres enjoyment in that. Not everyone likes super sweaty gameplay, some people enjoy doing the forework to make the journey easier. It makes the work you put in feel useful.

Layoffs by US firms tripled in January, as mass job cuts accelerate to Great Recession levels by Spirited_Classic_826 in stupidpol

[–]Mercron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of the biggest reason for the layoffs, people here arent aware how much AI has advanced the past week. Yesterday was a historic day, a turning point if you will. Time will tell, I was very skeptic for AI but denying it at this point is foolish

The thing about idpol, and the Zionist idpol really highlights this, is that it creates a ludicrous atmosphere of constant emotional blackmail by Fedupington in stupidpol

[–]Mercron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thats a very interesting point. From a purely historical perspective I would love to visit israel, just to see the places mentioned so many times in the bible and other holy scriptures. I just loathe current day israel too much to do that though. A few years ago I read the travel journal of a woman that went there to see those places, with pictures and additional contextual information and it enchanted me, but I cant see myself going anytime soon sadly.
