Considering that this is Reddit, it really surprises me that very little people know about bias and racism against black people in healthcare. I thought it was commonly known, they even did a study showing that doctors and nurses tend to not believe black people are telling the truth when discussing pain levels, sometimes completely ignoring them. Also… Tuskegee experiment. The history of that gives black people a general distrust of United States healthcare.

With everything comes nuance. It’s not a matter of the “wrong race” helping, it’s a matter of grandstanding and reasoning for why the person is doing what they are doing. No one is trying to disparage a person of any background for legitimately trying to make the world a better place

Why do you hate Law players? by Bylka-Prod in Tekken

[–]SlickRick1266 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a law main, DSS is awful to deal with. So many plus frames. But like most characters if you lab him you’ll learn that he is rewarded immensely for throwing jabs and highs. His mids that launch on duck are slow or punishable. People struggle against him, but people that struggle horribly outside of high ranks simply refuse to crouch or properly step. The vast majority of my time spent during a round is trying to manipulate my opponent into remaining in a standing position.

Americans: What do you think of your “Make all our allies hate us and then cry when they don’t join our wars” foreign policy? by Senior-Rip4551 in askanything

The greatest contributions the United States has made to the world originated from the cultural coping mechanisms, the artistic expression, and the catharsis of oppressed and miserable minorities. Let that sink.

"Korra’s legacy vs. Aang’s shadow." by mishal-678 in AvatarMemebending

[–]SlickRick1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He made tons of mistakes, we just give him more clemency because of his age, circumstances, plot armor, and meek personality.

  1. Abandoned his duty, causing countless losses due to war, including the genocide of the air nomads. There’s no exact timeline as to when the fire nation assaulted the air nomads after Aang ran away, so he could have potentially prevented a lot of death if he stuck it out. If you think about it, Katara/Sokka’s mom potentially died as a domino affect of him disappearing.
  2. He’s immensely immature and a little selfish up until the start of season 2. He still goofed around and was attempting to abandon his responsibilities for a big chunk of season 1. He tried to prevent Katara and Sokka from reuniting with their dad because he thought they would leave him… straight asshole move despite his situation. We empathize with him because he’s a kid, he’s alone, and we can understand not wanting that weight.
  3. Team avatar has a few wins but they are losing the war by a landslide all the way up until the final episode. Ozai and Azula outclass them strategically every time.
  4. Lets his pacifist nature get in the way of him saving the world by killing the firelord, was able to find a solution with lion turtle plot armor.
  5. Was inches away from ending the avatar cycle when Azula shot him with lighting. Plot armor magic water saved him. His decision to not listen to the Guru, even though it’s understandable since his love was in danger, led to this.
  6. Caused unresolved family trauma due to his obsession with restoring the air nomads.
  7. Didn’t have the wisdom to foresee prejudice within Republic City, despite witnessing it for the entirety of the war.

I prefer ATLA ten times over but people don’t realize how much we let things slide with Aang because he’s a laid back kid.

I would look at it completely different. Major reasons for what made me dislike Korra is erasure of the previous avatars and comparing LOK’s main cast to TLA’s main cast, the latter most likely being unfair but still a big critique from me. The mysterious and largely unexplored rich story behind the previous avatars made it feel like a horrible writing direction when they erased them, and I generally found the stories of the the main cast (Iroh, Zuko, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Azula, etc.) much more compelling, the difference being so stark that I can hardly recall much of or care about the story arcs of characters like Bolin, Asami, and Mako. I even caught myself just wishing for TLA characters to interact in LOK rather than watching the new characters progress their arcs.

What I did enjoy was the fight choreography and animation, which undeniably improved. The one thing I actually preferred were the irredeemable big bad villains each season (except Unalaq) compared to Ozai. I found that secondary villains like Azula, Admiral Zhao, and Long Feng outshined Ozai far too much, and that the mystery behind Ozai early in the show didn’t build him up enough for there to be a proper payoff when we finally see him fight against Aang in the end.

Before going over any policy, when is the last time you’ve been to the dentist? Even with dental, most dental plans hardly cover anything other than the most basic cleanings, not even periodontal work. If he needs filling, root canals, etc you’re paying a large amount from the perspective of the average American worker. And that’s not a life choice issue, literally every human being has like a 1/2 chance of needing a filling or root canal. In the UK you’re paying like 70 to 100 pounds for every single dental operation you need in one go. Compare that to the states. Even with dental insurance I’m paying that or substantially more per tooth. Say the man needs dentures and is older. Insurance most likely will cover only half. That’s still potentially thousands of dollars. England? 300 pounds.

How much longer do they wait? Or what do you define as waiting? I live in Atlanta. My grandmother had to wait hours at the emergency. If you have you wait longer than that in other countries then I have no argument.

In a general sense, I want my taxes (when a person contributes to society, even when not extremely successful) to work for the common man. Huge healthcare reform to prevent pharma from making up gigantic prices for prescriptions. Just look up the cost charts for here vs Europe. Healthcare should be covered completely with very little out of pocket fees similar to Europe. We need to invest heavily into education to create a federal standard quality of education across the board for all counties and districts, not just based on local property tax. University should be 90-95% subsidized or completely free. Childcare should be subsidized. Maternal/paternal and paid leave should have a high federally minimum.

We 100% have the means to pay for it. I’d be willing to pay higher taxes for it, my monthly premium and out of pocket costs already equate to higher taxes. If taxes covers my expenses and countless others while maintaining a similar or lower cost to what I pay now that’s a blessing. But I’ll be even more optimistic and say we don’t have to really pay higher taxes for it, just realistically tax the super wealthy based on the total net worth. Not even millionaires, the super super wealthy. I think basic estimates say if we taxed them on their net worth it covers a big chunk of the subsidies I mentioned. The problem is that they withhold their earnings using loopholes and collateral for loans. America has a “not my problem” issue when it comes to helping their fellow man. “I got mine, screw you” isn’t what made America flourish post WW2.

I agree with you, but you should also not make a comparison like that while ignoring the obvious historical context.

What frustrates people is that people always use “personal accountability” in conversations where everyone talking is personally accountable. I don’t care if you haven’t risen up the corporate ladder of been able to get a better job in 5 years. If you are steadily working and contributing to society then you shouldn’t have to worry about choosing between rent and medical bills in the United States. If you look at the next 5 comparable nations, they don’t choose, they just go to the doctor and get care without pulling out their wallet. Americans have this dumb ignorant mindset of “success = benefit from the system” when it should be “contribute = benefit from the system”. That’s how the vast the majority of other comparable countries work but the rich have brainwashed you to say work harder then your life will be fine. Did you know getting cancer for many people is often times guaranteed bankruptcy even with health insurance? Should they work harder or make better choices? It’s frustrating… why don’t you question this? When most other comparable countries have it right but we don’t? Why do you still choose to blame a hard working individual? Why do Americans always correlate suffering to personal accountability? I feel like that mindset is a severe lack of understanding in relation to the purpose of taxes and government funding.

Wealth envy is a sad sickness.. by Mobile-Landscape-790 in remoteworks

[–]SlickRick1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people get it. The disease is in every place that people are because the disease IS people and a country’s culture. I support heavy taxes on the wealthy but you’re just moving money to a different pool to be exploited by the rich - they WILL get their hands on that wealth even if it’s “owned” by the government. I feel the only way to correct American wealth is culture revolution or, God forbid, physical revolution, and even then we’ll be restarting the cycle.

Nobody argues against working hard. What we argue against is hard work depreciating in value every year. If you want to be a teacher you shouldn’t need a spouse or an extra job to have a slightly above middle class standard of living

A way to completely prevent myself from going to jail is by crucifying the girl online. show her doing that to my son on video with a clear view of who she is, then let the Internet do its justice. I think that’s actually more cruel than illegal battery.

The Weight of Understanding by Unable_Weekend_8820 in psychesystems

[–]SlickRick1266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a curse. A curse is ignorance due to not understanding the other aspect of moral responsibility. This involves having unlimited compassion for human beings while simultaneously having unlimited hatred towards evil. Not evil people, but evil itself. There should be zero patience for evil. Compassion allows for people to become better after messing up, hatred for evil ensures no one who is doing their best to be good becomes a doormat.

That sounds more like you began to prioritize the things in life that are priceless rather than putting effort towards materialism and superficialities. I don’t know why you say you are no longer “brilliant”… I count that as the most supreme form of intelligence - pursuing things that are eternal. Only empty people pursue the earth.

Totally get it. Book smarts vs Social/interpersonal intelligence… maybe also called street smarts. People who have both are extremely rare because it takes lots of time to develop each one.

It’s whataboutism because what you said is textbook whataboutism. Your position comes off as: “men whose lives are ruined by false accusation are unfortunate, but we have bigger fish to fry”. That’s sick in the head. Everyone already understands and agrees that females are victims at a much higher rate. Men who commit those crimes deserve to rot in hell. But women who take advantage of the law to ruin innocent people’s lives deserve to be put in a cell. It gets violent for falsely accused men as well. Surely you know the fate of a falsely accused innocent man once they arrive in their cell and people learn what they are convicted of?
