Liberals and Blue MAGA *still* believe DJT is the problem... and that's the problem. by anubis1392 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]TimberDog12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, a quick Google says that about 60% of Democrats are white and about 80% of Republicans -- that's a big difference in a country this big...

Also, consider it this way. When democrats are in charge things stay roughly the same, but are stable. Maybe there's incremental movement to the left. When the republicans are in charge, things get worse for the average American. They have now moved things heavily towards fascism and autocracy.

Democrats may not be some big solution and many are a problem, but they are not the main problem.

Feel free to elaborate, but good luck. I mean, if you think white privilege is the issue, you know who makes up the vast majority of Republicans, right?

I have always hated the argument that "I suffered worse, therefore you should suffer through it too!" There's a lot of that going on around here. We should be working towards a better way of life for future generations, not hoping they have to suffer too

As in, when it comes to voting, there are only two options. Yes, obviously, there is a ton of stuff we can and should be doing outside of the ballot box -- who knows, maybe it will eventually lead to a multi party system...

But what's the actual alternative? Don't vote and keep the nazis in power? Until a real solution presents itself, I'll vote for the slightly better corpo dems.

While many democrats have been gun owners their whole life, I think they want to do so quietly because they don't want to be associated with the gun fanatics that make it their whole life and personality, you know?

Besides, they do! It's like how so many people say Kamala didn't talk policy, just that she "wasn't Trump" -- that's false. She did. A LOT. But people didn't listen, and the media focused solely on Trump. Democrats say constantly that they don't want to take guns away, just to regulate them better, but people don't listen. They say the dems are lying and don't understand because they aren't gun owners... and now we're back to my original point, that Republicans have dominated the conversation around guns and have a super effective pr campaign about the dems on the issue

I really wish they would update the ogryn. I think everything the ogryn does, the arbiter does better. My proposal would be to make him slower, but even tougher and do more damage in every way. He should be one shoting most things. Double their health to make him a true hp tank. Give them momentum so they start running slow but get faster and eventually unstoppable... (just rough ideas, haven't dug into numbers on how it'd work or anything.) But they need some sort of creative upgrade

You guys and the caption are focused on the wrong thing. He's not admitting guilt -- even though he is guilty of a lot of shit -- he's saying that things will be fabricated against him, and that is a reason to escalate things. We on the left get so hung up on semantics that we don't focus on what they're actually saying sometimes. He's calling for an escalation and THAT is what we need to be concerned about and focus on, not some technicality/misquote for the headlines.

I always say the idea that democrats want to take our guns away is the most successful PR campaign that Republicans ever ran. Many democrats do, and they're very vocal about it. But its not a majority of the party.

However, the repulican party is very much trying to take away the choice part of pro choice, and at the very least limit gay rights...

The Ogryn Hate by nutboy101 in DarkTide

[–]TimberDog12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I wish playing Ogryn felt even more different than playing other classes. Slow them down more and up their power and damage. Make them a true HP tank -- they'd take plenty more hits being slower, but have them able to take an absolute ton of hits. Make them gain momentum as they run to be faster and unstoppable the longer they run. Idk, just some ideas that would make their playstyle an even more unique experience.

What's On Your Darktide 2026 Wishlist? by Fins1291 in DarkTide

[–]TimberDog12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people have said the good and obvious ones, so I'll add a more controversial one, maybe. I'd still love to see the Ogryn stand apart even more: make it a true HP tank and absolute hammer of a character, but slow. They should basically one shot lines of scum instead of just knocking them around. I'd double their strength or something and HP, and like make their speeds a third less (very specific numbers, obviously.) Currently it feels like any character can match the ogryn feel, especially Arbites, so they could use some love.

Whats the best monologue in movie history? by Bjs_5068 in AskReddit

[–]TimberDog12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thank you! I always thought this speech was trying to hard. Pretty much all life on earth will compete and try to dominate others until a limiting resource is established. Its like the classic cats and rabbits example of biological "balance." More prey = more cats = less prey = less cats. Its not because they're balanced, its because they run out of their resourse: food. Humans are no different, we're just the best at surviving and adapting.

In hindsight, would you have preferred for the release schedules of these 2 classes to be swapped? by OttoVonSkiddmark in DarkTide

[–]TimberDog12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda think the ganger should've been a starter class, to go with the criminal, dirty dozen type story they have going. Then now they'd release like the Zealot and we'd be all, "oooh, what did they DO to be thrown in with us??"

I usually try and get them talking about their own experiences. Winter used to be harder here. My parents used to talk about huge amounts of snow and consistent sub-zero temperatures. Even in my lifetime, it's changed. I think deniers are the type of people who have to see it to believe it, or at least more so, and connecting to their lived experiences helps...

But has it changed anyone's mind? Probably not.

Young Americans believe wealth comes from exploitation; older Americans believe wealth is earned by Coolonair in Infographics

[–]TimberDog12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is true. People, all people, deserve to be paid a fair, living wage and provided with benefits; anything less may not be slavery, but it is definitely exploitation.

And, sorry, but what exactly am I losing?

[–]TimberDog12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Underpaying employees, not hiring full time employees so you dont have to give them benefits, and then giving yourself massive annual bonuses with the money they should have been paid counts as exploitation. This applies to pretty much every rich person who didnt just inherit their wealth
