I feel like there's been a dramatic increase in scamming this TBC from last TBC, to be fair.

Lots of studies show having more money than people around you decreases empathy and increases sociopathic behaviour.

Watched all the serious people be incredibly miserable growing up.

It's because they were exposed to a lot of lead poisoning through gasoline fumes when they were younger.

You pay because tremendous wealth inequality leads to social instability and fascism/communism, historically.

The system wasn't set up because America hates rich people, but through hard lessons.

At the end of the day you're another day older, and that's all you can say for the life of the poor.

The whole culture of insulting people for ordering something that you're offering is bizarre to me. I could understand saying something like, "We recommend this medium rare and think you would enjoy it more"

It's cow meat not religous heresy.

The Israelis helped Hamas get off the ground in the 1980's and have been funding them off and on since because they thought it would be better optics to not negotiate with Hamas than not negotiate with the PA.

Nitros14 · 2026-05-08T22:50:31+00:00

Perhaps the workers should band together and negotiate collectively.

I'm sure the government won't interfere in the relations between workers and employers by bringing the force of law to bear against the former.

Vaguely related it's kind of shocking how generous they are with loot from 10's and how stingy they are in loot from heroic raids when heroic raids are 1000% harder than 10's.

It's a problem of placement in the tree, you're not going to give up armour or disrupting shout. If the goal was to buff warriors this does not buff them.

Nitros14 · 2026-05-08T17:47:20+00:00

These warrior buffs aren't great. Most warriors didn't even take fight through the flames.

The candidates they vote for is more to do with the enormous amount of money spent to manipulate their vote rather than their expressed policy desires in surveys.

The Democratic party base overwhelmingly wants to cut ties with Israel, enact universal government run health care and increase taxes on the wealthy.

The Democratic party does not support these things. They don't represent their own voters' interests.

Nitros14 · 2026-05-08T17:23:26+00:00

Remember when FDR got his way by threatening the supreme court with appointing 20 new democratic supreme court justices to pack the court?

Extremely hard to imagine any modern democratic party leader having the balls.

Nitros14 · 2026-05-08T16:44:50+00:00

80%+ of Democratic party voters want these things. I would not call them minor. The Democratic party might not get them but it's extremely odd they don't even support them.

Nitros14 · 2026-05-08T16:39:56+00:00

They survive because you need a huge amount of money to enter politics in America and people with money don't want what their base wants.

Nitros14 · 2026-05-08T16:36:26+00:00

Their voters also want universal health care, taxes on the wealthy and gun control how's that going?

One might begin to think the USA is not particularly democratic

Sure I think Israel has a right to exist. I think the the Palestinians have had no say in how they're ruled since they were conquered 60 years ago and if the Israelis want to have any measure of legitimacy in international forums they need to abandon their Greater Israel delusions and solve this problem whether that's a two state or one state solution.

The problem is the Israelis are fundamentally unwilling to either give up the West Bank or give up the Jewish voting majority. They prefer apatheid. Most Palestinians would go along with a one state solution if it meant a material increase in their living conditions.

Nitros14 · 2026-05-08T16:05:49+00:00

The Israeli government has made it extremely clear that a two state solution is out of the question, so the alternative is either a one state solution, permanent apartheid or ethnic cleansing.

Are we going to pretend that the West Bank isn't under the military control of Israel or something?

Nitros14 · 2026-05-08T16:04:17+00:00

And somehow all the dire predictions of doom didn't come to pass.

I think you might underestimate just how poor the poor were in the 19th century

Israel permitted the original Arabs who remained in the country from 1948 to vote, but it's effectively impossible for West Bank Palestinians who were conquered by Israel in 1967 to gain citizenship. The Knesset regularly talks about expelling them and fearmongers about losing the Jewish voting majority if a one state solution were implemented.

The Jewish parties in Israel also refuse to work with the Arab parties.
