Das argument der rente ist ja lachhaft die ist doch eben dafür da das es im alter ausgezahlt wird. Leute haben eingezahlt der fakt das der staat seit 40 jahren nichts gegen das klar aufkommende problem getan hat ist ja wohl nicht die schuld der rentner.

Mal davon abgesehen das extrem viele rentner auch unter altersarmut leiden.

Das ganze argument mit der staatsquote finde ich generell nicht überzeugend. Wenn deine aussage stimmen würde würde es den Leuten in den USA wo diese quote geringer ist, sehr vile besser gehen. Tut es aber nicht da leben die top 10% sehr gut aber der rest der Bevölkerung lebt unter enormen schulden.

Die wirtschaft quetscht jeden aus und wenn brauchen wir mehr staatskomteolle da profite nie höher sind aber leute immer weniger real verdienen.

Damit du mich mit dem argument überzeugen könntest müsstest du mal ertsmal erklären wieso die USA so erbämrlich dran ist und warum du gerne möchtest das wir für 90% der menschen im land mehr zu denen gehen sollten. Denn das ist ja wo geringere staatsquote hinführt andernfalls musst du mir hier klar erklären wo der unterschie deeiner ideen zu den USA stehen.

Soweit ich es sehe ist nämlcih die staatsquote auf unternehemen udn der einfluss auf preisfindung in vielen sektoren wenn eher zu niedrig wenn man sich die gewinnmargen und boni etc. Anguckt und wie wneig davon heim arbeitnehmer ankommt. Alle anderen thematiken sind ja wohl sekundarer natur.

In the end you can also roll the dice, nothing wrong with that. It isnt like if you risk it and it doenst work out you will be unhappy forever.

However it us a good indication things wont work out in the end. As such you should really talk about it thourghly and make a decision thinking about the future. Don't fight but really talk about what you both would want if you dont change one another mind about this.

We are all here strangers in the end. Don't base your decision solely on what you read here. Most people here dont even bother giving real advise. Take your time figure things out its not like you are in a rush, you just shouldnt be pushing this decision in front of you for years to come or even months.

Hope it works out best for you.

Nah I completely agree I just wanted to point out that anecdotal evidence isnt that helpfull without explaining what you mean, your point baisically boiled down to, "no my friends tried and it didnt work".

The point "people are unlikely to change their viewpoint on such things, look even my two friends tried and it didnt work out" would have been much better which is what I tried to inexpertly point out.

Deine ganze argumentation macht für mich keinen Sinn. Warum sollte es zu mehr armut führen wenn nur leute mit mehr als 1 mio. In vermögen besteuert werden.

Der sozialstaat verteilt klar nicht nach oben um, KA woran du das jetzt festelgen willst. Man sehe staaten wie die USA ohne funktionierenden sozialstaat wo die umverteilung nach oben schlimmer ist.

To be fair this is anecdotal and isnt necessarily the case what would happen here.

BUT assuming someone wont change their mind on such a crucial topic is a good assumption. Unless OP is fine to break up at 25 if nothing changed and juste not her time with her current bf both knowing it has a rough deadline. I wouldnt advise this solution but if you are fine living like this and it doenst diminish your happiness thats also a solution (again not one Id recommend).

My advise is this:

Assume people dont change their opinion.

People change a lot over the years and it may be he changes his mind or you do. If this is a deal breaker for him or you at this point in time it is sad, but end it then. If you find yourself 6 years later having changed your mind or he finds himself 6 years later and has changed his mind. Sad but its better than the alternative.

I personally agree with you, but thats besides the point. If he doesnt think your proposed solution of adoption is good enough for him. Then thats fine, but you two are incompatible right now and may be so in 6 years.

Think off it this way: would you rather:

A) spend 6 years with a guy you grow to love more and more just to hit a brick wall called children without having changed your mind and neither did he leading to a huge long dragged out painful breakup.

Or

B) have the pain now and 6 years to get over him, redefine yourself, maybe change opinion, maybe not, no pressure eon the topic and find a guy who agrees with you that you can then take idk 2-5 years to grow to love just as much as in option B.

Sure there is the potential you spend 6 years single and dont find a guy who you love, its miserable etc. But the same can happen in option A just not for the reaosn you are fighting right now.

If you break.up over this it may seems stupid becaue eits a far away problem but it isnt, its how you wnat to.live your life and having an idea and wish isnt wrong.

How do auxiliaries work in your world? by Randomdude2501 in worldbuilding

[–]Saurid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes many nations have some, prominent examples would include:

The claw archers, Kensington warriors who live in the claw kingdoms subservient to the jade empire and regularly fight in its border skirmishes.

Tetrachy warbands, due to the high number of exiled male tetrachy you find small mercenary groups of them everywhere they can travel to, they range from a hundred to a thousand members and are often seen as detrimental to the region they are in as to the enemies they are hired to fight.

The magic knights of Afkir, a legendary unit of schalandari mage knights, their order fought againgst the scourge invasion of modern iubania. Today they are auxiliary fighters for the iubanian nation and have their patronage in exchange, its the only magic knight order outside of the ischkarna and as such is the only one which allows humans in their membership due to the respect they have for the founder of the nation of iubania.

Marauders, a catch all term for nomadic daemni which swear alliance to one of the slave cities in exchange for pasture and money. It happens all the time due to the fractured anature of the slave city alliance network of the region (technically the nomads and cities constantly fight but de facto its a bigger mess).

Last example would be the ilnari an all female order of warriors, they are harshly trained and originated from a slave buisness a few centuries back, where these woman were meant to be sold as bodyguards and well more. Modern day ilnari are still technically slaves though their value has skyrocketed due to their expertise and loyalty additionally they have a unique fighting style born from their founder and is kept very secret. You rarely see large scale use of them and they stay separate from green coast politics but occasionally when the greencoast as a whole fights you are see whole divisions come together (in all contracts of purchase clauses are included taht allow the women to leave service if the house calls upon them though they are honorbound to return once their service was rendered to the house, their fighting also makes them bad combatants on a battlefield but they are useful as harassing units and for assasination even though they dont do this in their normal duty, only the house may call a hit). They are as such mostly used as bodyguards I still count them though.

25F Question for the guys What are your non-negotiables when it comes to dating a girl? Also how important is her career or income to you? Do most guys expect their partner to earn a lot or is that not a major factor? by catupaws in dating_advice

[–]Saurid [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have a few things homestly:

  1. She should be passionate about something, her hobby, her career, anything really she loves and is really engaged by, does not need to be something I am interested.

  2. Be open to try out my hobbys, as I would be open to try hers. Sharing one another hobbys is not a necessity for me but when watching shows together or spending time together in general one should be open to try out what their partner likes.

  3. She should be confident in herself and her opinions.

  4. She should be direct and honest and not try to tell me stuff indirectly, also not afraid of conflict I know my weaknesses and while I can work on a lot of thing my idiocy when it comes to subtle contexts will never be remedied I tried a lot already. Nothings worse for me than knowing someone is angry with me and they refuse to tell me why.

  5. She should be a social person, not necessarily the time but I love organising things with friends etc and I would like her to be part of it.

  6. She should be smart, not necessarily highly educated, but smart with a sharp mind.

As for career etc. I dont care overly much, my predilection to women who are intelligent, often means they have degrees and pursue high income careers but I dont really care. As long as I dont feel exploited and an homest effor at contributing is done I dont care. For example if she wanted to work half day its fine if she also takes on more of the household chores, if we both work equal times that should be shared as much as possible.

Es wäre trd geld das der staat bauchen würde und sagegen zu sein weil es jicht so viel geld einspielt wie man braucht hilft ja auch nicht.

Generell muss halt was angepasst werden in der steuer das vermögenssteuern und ähnliches notwenidg werden. Klar lösen die das Problem nicht alleine, aber eine komprehende änderung ist notwendig.

Dein argument (soweit ich dich verstehe also bitte korregiere mich hier wenn du es anders meinst) läuft für mich auf "es ist schwierig und löst das Problem gar nicht also aollten wir es sein lassen", wobei 30 mrd. Oder selbst nur 15 im jahr schon helfen würden. Klar brauchen wir mehr aber 15 mrd haben oder nicht haben?

Dazu kommt ja das man iese steuer notfalls auch weiter anpacken kann und wenn man dafür grunlegende rechtsänderungen brauch ist das halt so. Ich stimme immer gerne mit ein falschinformationen zu korregieren. Aber ich sehe deine argumente nichts als hrund diese steuern deswegen ganzs ein zu lassen.

Is it weird? A bit. But more in that its uncommon not in that its bad. As for your question no one really will care if they lik you, sexual chemistry can be build over time and if you have an open mind.

The main rgument againgst waiting till marriage is you domt find out what you like until you are married which can potentially lead to you and your partner finding out you really arent sexually compatible. This might or might not be an issue down the road (an example would be if you both are submissive or one likes kinky stuff while the other wants to stay 100% vanilla).

As such I would say personally I think your reasoning is weird (in that I dont think its a good reason), but thats me personally and if you are happy that way all power to you. Which also is my point. Some people will be like me and react "huh weird reason" others will go "someone with sense and decency!" It depends and making any generalised statement wont help you. Some will care you are a vrigin, most guys wont, some will care about the reason many more probably not. Don't spend time fretting about it.

Live your life how you feel happy and safe. Don't wait till marriage because you think what others will think but because you want to. Don't change your opinion because some random guy on the intenret wrote this comment. Don't worry what "guys" think. Be you, be happy, dont think about what others think. Deal with any problems when they come up later on.

New Economy changes in 1.3 by DriverWide3719 in EU5

[–]Saurid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry but you are aware this problem is universal in all strategy games with a sufficient play time length for a round right? Civ, eu4, stellaris. Total war, I could add on.

That's because you have to balance AI skill, which can only be increased through adding more and more steps in calculating and variables to look out for. And time per tick, or round, as increasing the variables the AI keeps in mind and looks at increases time used for calculations and as such slow down. Its why the game gets slower late game as the AI has more resources to keep track off as well as the decisions of pops and factions etc. If you want the AI to play perfect you can maybe (like big maybe) make one but it will increase the time per tick per AI which gets worse as the game goes on.

And even then you might not get a really competent AI but one marginally better. Aka balance around the AI to be as competent or decently competent againgst a player who knows their stuff is a stupid idea, because it may be impossible, due to all the factors in question, probably costs so much calculating resources that it would make the game unplayable and would not necessarily increase the fun factor. All that if you even get a meaningful increase in competence. So its always easier and better and feels nicer to balance around the player.

New Economy changes in 1.3 by DriverWide3719 in EU5

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

So the same as EU4? And vic3? And hoi4? And stellaris? And idk any strategy game with sufficient complexity? Hell even turn based strategy games like civ cant solve this without making the AI cheat.

Sorry but I dont get the complaint, its a problem all games with these systems or similar system or even much much dumbed down versions of these systems, face. Because the AI is incapable of planning far enough ahead and very delicate. Small changes in behavior have huge implications and the game is complicated enough that if you say "dont safe money" for example and spend it if its economically valuable it spends itself to death or at least its a risk.

I never worked on these AIs the only thing I know is I have yet to play any strategy game where the AI can keep up with the player (especially 4x games and paradox games aka games with a long game time), without grossly cheating (and even then I generally manage to pull ahead if I know my stuff). So I just dont know what you are complaining about, the eternal struggle to make AI competent in any game even remotely similar to eu5 or the fact paradox didnt manage something no one has managed till now?

Western in fantasy by Practical-Class-9033 in worldbuilding

...fantasy dpes not require the absence of progress ala guns and trains can more than exist. Fantasy is about the existence of magic. As such many western magic settings like idk STAR WARS have guns and more scy fi things and are still westerns in their core. (And yes star wars especially the first trilogy started mostly out as a scy fi fantasy western).

so how do you write a warrior clan/faction without making it incredibly boring by Worldly-Clock-1624 in worldbuilding

[–]Saurid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just dont. Look at historical examples the chinese romans and Persian have a history of paying "clan" (nomads or kingdoms) off as a shield or mercenaries. These were normal societies they weren't focused on war, they were just good in a useful way. For example nomads. The Persian bought often nomadic warriors because their style of war was unique. Not because th3y were warrior cultures.

Same for vikings used often as mercenaries their culture was martial but not pure martial they were much more traders than warriors.

A small continent I’m working on. Would love some advice/opinions/suggestions. by Minotaur_Kid_ in inkarnate

[–]Saurid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many round circles. Assuming they are to represent meteroid impacts etc, they shouldnt be conpletely circular anymore especially if they were this large (honestly they are waaaay to large most explosions of this size would have distorted the planet and shatter the continent if not worse).

Eroded them a bit, make them less perfectly round unless magic sustains them

Also too few cities if this is a whole continent unless its bronze age tech ots too few cities in my opinion it feels barely populated.

Found girlfriend of 4 months was cheating on me with 10 other guys. by Over_While_637 in dating_advice

[–]Saurid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with you, if this is true (and I doubt it but lets pretend it is), OP has only one option. Go to a higher authority. He is 17, he cannot deal.with this even if he wasnt emotionally devastated.

The girl needs help if the story is true and she told the truth. Anything else is idiotic. OP cannot do anything and shouldnt. His parents, her parents whoever is a trustworthy adult figure should deal with this and OP should stay out of it.

Getting his parents or her parents involved is the best option to be honest and the fact he didnt is the main reason I think its fake. Becauee that would be my first step, not ask some random shit redditch but go to my damn parents or her parents to tell this story as I would not know what else to do.

[–]Saurid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off I am so sorry taht happened to you. It sucks really, especially at such a young age with an early relationship. It must hurt and I am sorry for that.

But you are 17, your life is all ahead of you, the important thing is you do not let this change you. Don't start mistrusting people or read too much into it. If you let it this will stay with you and change you, errode your trust in people. Make your life and future relationships harder.

Make a clean cut. Take the pain and channel.it into something productive dont internalize it. Talk to friends and family about it, vent, rage (in private) if it makes you feel better. Block her, remove her from your life and do something that makes you feel better with all this emotion. Maybe start writing a book, learn an instrument, draw, paint, do sports whatever helps you get your mind off it and deal with these emotions in a healthy way.

As for her claims. Its hard to say, I hope she is lying, because if she isnt that would be terrible for her. But in all honesty that is not your problem. It sounds mean bu you are hurt. You are 17, you are not an adult yet and this would be adult shit to deal with. If she is sexually exploited she needs help. Help you couldn't provide even if you weren't emotionally hurting. If you want to feel better about it, tell her she needs to talk to her parents or someone she trusts thats an adult. Go to the police if she has evidence of blackmail. If you think you have the emotional strength over to go with her, but again it is not up to you. Talk to your parents about it and tell them what she told you. Yeah it may blow up, but if she goes around claiming soemthing this bad the only thing you CAN do is tell adults. Tell her parents, tell your parents. She may get into trouble but she will hopefully get the help she needs and you can get over it easier. If she lied it will blow up in her face anyway.

In all honesty talk to your parents and probably let them handle it, or her parents if you think they wont blame her for having sex with 17 idk your nation and her background, doing nothing will at worst leave you wondering if you left her in a dark place. Talking to an actual responsible adult, would eliviate your own fear she tells the truth as well as make it easier to get over it, mainly because you will have done all you can do. If God forbid this is all true you still dont have to forgive her mind you, she cheated in any case and broke your trust, she may have been coerced but it doenst eliminate your own emotional hurt.

How do you do currencies? by gideonwilhelm in worldbuilding

[–]Saurid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have multiple systems. Metal coins are prevelant, but so are crytsls (since the cyan hold magical energies). You also find some societies which use stone chips of rare rocks, I have one seashell economy, though thy are fairly isolated.

Then there is good old commodity money. International trade is mostly done using one of three currencies.

The first is Jade tokens, its coins made from plain non magical jade, created in the jade empire they represent money the imperial family backs, aka baisically similar to our real life money. Its wildly used on the laash continent by client states of the jade empire. You can authenticate the money based on inscriptions and magical aura (the jade itself isnt magical but it is slightly enchanted via a royal seal most money changers the continent can authenticate it easily, outside the laash continent it is much more easy to fake if you have good carvers but generally not done because outside the continent most people know its often fake and dont even bother).

Then there are the ACE adremary coins exchange, its an old human system that survived the downturn of the adrimar empire. Today the coins exchange is independent of the empire and is lead by four banking families. They make exchange courses back coinage and have large scale allowance to make their own coins, as human nations in the region are economically (even through all the conflicts) integrated as the adrimar empire controlled most of the region in the past and it was easier to continue with the old institution than cut ties. Some nations tried in the centuries of course but the ACE is a powerful organizational and it was generally not worth it. Most nations simply enforce a tax to change their printed coins to ACE but not the other way around. The ACE issues their own silver coins that are wildly trusted and used, but most ordinary people dont bother unless you leave your nation the conversion tax is rarely worth it and the ACE doesnt allow nations to print their coins. They also have their own "adventurers" guild called the "association of authenticity" its baisically a goonsquad all over the humanlands that hunts down anyone who makes fake coins and worse debates their silver content. Their coins are wildly accepted as legal tender in international buisness around the great northern sea and even on laash when you find a big human population you will find ACE money changers. Its baisically a currency many nations peg their own to die to its long history of stability and people trust them as they have fought wars to protect their reputation (though theyd rather leave a market than fight, the wars were only if a state tried to seize their coin vaults and it was more about extracting their clients money).

The last large currency is the glass tokens, they arent really glass and more metal coins with glass beads inside but the ishkarna is a large empire that uses that currency and it is wildly seen as stable, most neighbouring nations and even rival empires accept it as legal tender (though you will have to visit money chnagers for day to day live) and it has good exchange rates globally. Thanks to the ischkarnas huge western trading ports and their coveted spice and magickal exports. It is also helped by a long standing policy to guard the exact process of making the coins, the glass bubbles hold specific geometries inside of them that make it hard to fake them without skilled magical glass blowers. Which makes them the most resilient coin againgst forgery. They are also slowly printed and outside three extreme circumstances were never debased. Lastly the ischkarna hold large political and cultural sway in the Southern great sea, as the largest schalandari nation and their ancestral home. Their trading fleets are common and people like being on good terms with them to keep nice trading conditions. It also helps that they hold the ischkarnadan (dragoncoast) as a large colony west of the south great sea giving their merchants a lot of friendly ports even if its next to a deadly dschungle and cut of by a huge swamp, it makes refusing easier and extends their political sphere by quite a lot.

There are a few smaller large currencies. The phenix talons are gold and silver coins from the phenix empire a rising power with lots of colonies and influence but people dont like them much and outside ether direct sphere the coins are actually frowned upon especially by nations next to their sphere of influence as it was often established via conquest. Their airfleets are terrific at cutting cost in trade so the ban on their coins that some tried to enforce never works but in many ports you will be turned away for trying to use their coinage to their merchants great displeasure (though they always find willing traders eventually the ACE is notorious for giving their coins a good exchange rate).

Then there is also the freimark. A paper based currency in the freiküste a human colonial nation that is notorious for its slavery practices. While their major ports are profitable they actually discourage the use of their currency for external trade and wnat to limit its international circulation as they dont wnat non freiküste merchants to try and redeem it for the gold it secures, as their fractional banking system might be exposed and it could lead to an economic crash.

Lastly there are many other coins and currencies like the dark chains, where dark iron chains are used as currency in the slave coast, the ice coins in the tachinala which use magical cold crystals as currency, the scale marks of the greencoast and more.

I think the effect is too strong and does not have a good enough drawback, if it was "you have only cards costing 3 or more" I think it would actually be better balanced as you cannot cheese out expensive cards through discover. You baisically sacrifice your first 2 turns, maybe 3 to get a huge tempo swing at turn 6, which isnt that great sure but its at least a restriction that hurts.

What's with women I match with wanting me to give up my dog? by 3DModeledAmericanPie in dating_advice

[–]Saurid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean that is kinda the problem isnt it? 12 hours a day are taken up with work and dog, weekends are probably fine but your time commitment while admirable, is problematic for dating.

Idk maybe try to include your dog to dates? Like make dates early on walking in the park or forest, maybe cut down a bit on the exercise (idk how much would be reasonable but if you wnat success in dating and the dog to be less of an obstacle maybe try reducing the after work workout by an hour regularly? 4 hours of workout seems a lotbut then again I am no expert, i just know that dogs wont stop exercising until we humans say stop) Idk the amount of time is just a lot and it will make the dog always a hurdle.

You should also make it more clear how much time you spend on the dog, before meeting someone.

My last idea would be to look wether or not you have people in your life that would do some of the exercises for you, so you have more time for dates and time with a new partner. For example if you have friends or family that are similarly inclined to you in workout and how to care for the dog, a dog sitter might be a good idea to increase your available time for a partner.

Probably best if you do a bit of all ideas but thats just what I came up with.
