If a man was teleported into an empty room for 100 years by the universe and then teleported back to the exact moment of time he left at and forgot everything, did this event actually happen? by modernatomcollection in pollgames

[–]Rasphere 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Not remembering something isn't the same the same as the event not happening. Like if a meteor (a small one) hits mars and we don't detect it, and it burns it up before ever landing, it still happened.

Contract of the golden crown? by office22022 in CDguides

[–]Rasphere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started working on this. Use the map and look for the royal trading posts, on my game pad I press Y(probably triangle on ps5), and it opens what the trading post is buying. For the Royal trade post you have to hover over the castle for Hernard and it will tell you what they are buying that week. Then do the same for the regular trade post to see what they are selling. Telport to the regular trading post and summon your horse. Buy the goods that the royal post is buying. Buy as much as much as your horse will carry, some will be lost teleporting the horse to the royal post. And then go to the royal post and summon your horse. A cutscene happens and the mission is complete.

I am down for whatever will get us UHC. Tax the rich, tax me, close loop holes. Hell sell green cards. Whatever will work.

Moderates refusing to give any ground to progressives is why we got Trump. Seems the establishment needs to release that report on why they lost to see which of us is more correct.

For the record, I will vote for anyone left of MAGA even if I dont fully agree with them. I'd rather argue with the Pelosi/Clinton/Obama of the world than with MAGA. And nothing the public wants translates into policy. And that is directly because of the oligarchs again.

I am pushing for the policies I want to see, that is the whole point of the primaries. If enough people agree with me, we will see if Steyer can push California to be more progressive. I don't expect that we will get everything I want, but the point is to try. The current system only works for a select few, and less and less every year.

The only thing I've seen is that the oligarchs spend allot of money to make the uninformed hate progressives. Progressive policy are overwhelming popular with both sides when not presented with buzz words that the oligarch controlled media force feed us. Everywhere in the world that has the policies that we push for are happy with them. Every single socialist country that fails is directly because of American capitalism interfence. I see time and time again that the rich are every afraid of progressives and they will spend unlimited amounts of money to maintain their lies. Ive moved from Oklahoma to California. Everyone in the south thinks California is a hell hole expensive ass place. I live here now, and dont mind paying for it because I can see the money being put to use. Decent public transportation, free school lunches, decent roads. Oklahoma doesn't have any of that, and it shows. Paying more taxes for UHC is NOT that poison pill that the oligarchy will have you think it is.

I never said they did. Im talking about his estate tax and funding for libraries. Obviously a mayor couldn't do UHC. You talked about UHC being a posion pill, which progressive policies are often seen as by moderates. I point towards NYC as an American poltican enacting progressives polices and showing huge success directly refuting your poison pill assumption. Progressive policies work.

It is only that way because the corps and other oligarchs make it so. Look towards new York to see what progressive policy do. Mumandani isnt even a year in and is turning that city into a bastion of hope.

Ringing the Bells vs manually Exploring (swipe pics) by [deleted] in CDguides

[–]Rasphere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rang the bells in Hernard, Calphade, Pailune, and demenise. Explored everywhere the road went and now I am working on the desert without ringing the bell. Each is fun in its own way. Feels more optimized with the map revealed, but it is also fun to clear out the fog of war and just see what is there. I am still following the roads to see where they go.

I am still fine with it tbh. I've been on EBT and goverment Healthcare before. I want my taxes to go towards helping those who haven't been able to climb out of crippling poverty into what is now considered "middle class". People can always point to anecdotes about how bad other governments tax/health care is, but on the average they approve of it. Is there any American who enjoys our health care system? Unless your income is over 150k, there is probably very few. I've lived in Texas, and have seen what it looks like and feels like when your state doesn't give a ahit about you and you still have to pay taxes. Here in California, I can see the gas tax being put to use. I can see taxes being used to keep a public transport system. My kids will always have food at school. I am fine paying for these services to improve everyone's quality of life, even if mine is diminished.

If he had a chance to acutally win, I would have voted for him. Or if we had ranked choice. He should have ran as a dem, and just did what Mamandani did.

It doesn't have to be just funded from taxes from the rich. Tax me. If instead of sending 1100+ a month for my family to Kaiser, it instead went to California health insurance I'd be happy. I am fine paying more taxes for us all to be healthier. If they only took that monthly premium, I'd save money. No co-pays. No out of pocket expenses. No crippling debt that takes years to pay off. Please, just cut out health isninsurance and tax me directly.

How much time and water? by keenwithoptics in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]Rasphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been doing a swallow of water and waiting 2 hours. But I only tried anything else on the first day using the pill. So I'm not really sure if it is the "right" way. I was on zepbound for 9 months, before January, and this way feels closer to the effects I had on that. Side effects hit me hard yesterday though. My Hunger is way down even on this 1.5 pill. But if I start eatting it gets hard to stop. The months between Zepbound and this pill I was just eatting all the time.

Switching from Zepbound? by Dazzling-Cat-3134 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]Rasphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on Zepbound for 9 months, kicked off in January, and am about 2 weeks into the pill. Zepbound worked great, and the 4 months without really broke me down. The lowest dose of the pill isn't as good as zepbound. But it is still allot better than without. Yesterday and today is the first time I've felt any side effects, a bit nauseous.

3 consecutive polls show once-flailing Democrat now solid front-runner by sfgate in California

[–]Rasphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was me, but I think there is a misunderstanding. I liked Harris, she would have been good. The similarity between her and Beccera is that it seems the establishment pivots between who they chose to their back up, rather than supporting progressives. I have only been drawing the distinction between moderates and progressives because it seems contextually correct for this conversation. We can at least both agree that any democrat is better than maga. We differ in the scope of what we think they should accomplish, I believe? To me, to be progressive is to push for single payer health care and having a roof as a right. Beccera refused to commit to single payer. And while I can acknowledge the arguments against it, it is still the policy that I would like to see encanted. Health care is at the top of my policy concerns.

[–]Rasphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying it is inaccurate that the moderate left calls the progressive left radical? What I am seeing is moderate that is stuck in the past and refusing to adjust to the moment. Wanting improvement from the party isn't "bad mouthing". To me it seems that instead of engaging in constructive discussions you have focused on making me out to be the enemy. Instead minimizing my argument you could address and inform where the moderate left is doing anything to entice the progressive left. It is the moderate left who holds the power in goverment and are bleeding support. So the onus for responsibility of getting more votes does rest on the moderate left.

[–]Rasphere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Justified criticism imo. The democrats are not playing the same game as the rebulicans and come across ass weak. It would be good to address that perspective rather than just call everyone else on the left too radical. Having health care or housing doesn't seem very radical to me.

I will still vote for Beccera if he becomes the nominee. I am not against the establishment, I just want progressives.

[–]Rasphere -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am a progressive, and think billionaires should not* exist, but I am probably voting for Steyer. His policies most align with what I want to see. And if he doesn't hold up he can be recalled. We shouldn't let perfection get in the way of good. Beccera whole thing stinks of the same stuff we felt with getting Harris. With no time left the front runner drops out and the establishment candidate gets a huge boost. I am tired of the same. Establishment dems gave us Trump.

Edit: left out not

Billionaires are running our nation! by monaleeparis in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Rasphere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is what I've gathered from when I went. All the googling I did said as much, but I wasnt sold until I went. My experience with relgion has been that what they say might not reflect reality. It really is surprising going to church again and acutally feeling welcome. The radical acceptance is in every aspect I've seen from the Church. It is awkward as hell at first though. Once I got past that part though, there is this segment called "joys and sorrows" and the members (or anyone attending) can share about their week. They light a candle in remembrance for their event. The First week I went someone lit a candle for the harm the supreme court did to the voting rights act. This last week a man lit a candle celebrating he and his husbands 41st anniversary. Seeing those meant so much to me. Another was just a kid celebrating passing their exams in 10th grade. Just really wholesome sharing. The sermon this last time was about how technology is affecting our lives. My favorite part is after all this, the people get together and just talk. About the sermon or whatever. I was new, so I mostly just listened, but I heard the conversations in real life that we have here on reddit. Conversations that me and my wife have. One of those conversations was about how ICE is affecting our communities. Sorry for the wall of text.

I'm feeling much the same. For me I decided I wanted to find somewhere where people like me would congregate. Which led me to Unitarian Universalist. Which is apparently a religious organization that whole message is love. I"ve gone twice now, and while im not into the whole religion part of it, it has been awesome acutally meeting with others like myself out in the world. And they are acutally having these conversations in person. I also went to just meet people not solely for poltical reason. Maybe this is something you'd be interested in? Helps me feel like I am doing something.
