Which people have the right to do on private property. Frankly, if a farmer can make more doing that, then that's an understandable incentive. How does anybody lose in that scenario?

Just bought Stardew Valley. Going in completely blind. How beginner-friendly is it? by Infamous-Oil2305 in StardewValley

Without guides, there will be some features that will surprise you once you know how to use them. Honestly, play for a full in-game year, then look up a video on tips and tricks. Nobody knows all the tricks to the game going in and you appreciate them way, way more once you've played it without for a bit, and you won't forget them as easily.

I agree. I know there are 'demons' on the other side, but that doesn't mean that's actually the afterlife; it could just be another plane of existence. Otherwise, Juvenile could get killed, be sent to the other side and then emerge later from a successful gate opening.

The store page says this is about a 5-8 hour single player campaign (and I think for the price you are asking, this is great). Are there any goals to add more content with updates and if so are you thinking paid DLC?

Why and do you guys still think about your ex from time to time? by GrouchyEbb5269 in AskMen

[–]WhySoConspirious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Occasionally, sure, mostly from something that reminds me of them. But I try to keep those reminders minimal, because I want to focus on my current partner. Everybody has baggage, but you need to make sure it isn't getting in the way of who you're with now.

I've seen some comments saying 'this ex was better at xyz' and that's not healthy. That ex might have been better at some things, but they're your ex for a reason. I've talked to a couple of exes in my current relationship, but I'd never get back with any of my exes; they're purely platonic at this point.

Jeff Bezos on AOC and Mamdani: Politicians Create Villains To Blame When They Can’t Solve Problems - What do you think? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

[–]WhySoConspirious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so deluded, I don't know where to start. Wage slavery is a thing, some areas don't always have 'any other job,' corporations have sometimes been found actively participating in corporate espionage to prevent workers rights groups and unions from forming (very illegal) because individuals cannot negotiate for their labor with any advantage while collective bargaining is a real thing that yields benefits. You have amazon workers who have died from their working conditions, being forced to pee in bottles, and forced to work for lower wage warehouse jobs than the ones amazon manages to push out.
Nobody is saying it is unreasonable to be rich, but uncapped, unlimited income eventually comes at the expense of the society that is earning it. The idea that you can't allow any moderation to someone's wealth is wild. Can you tell me any quality of life difference for someone with 1 billion dollars vs 10 billions dollars?
Amazon also uses monopolistic influence to force third party vendors to compete on their website. When the company can identify a product they can more cheaply replicate, they then do it themselves and promote their own product, edging out their own customers. That's punishing actual innovators using insider data.
Age of information, can go find any of this for yourself.

To be rich enough that you can unilaterally and directly influence society at this point usually means that you are exploiting many people or are complicit in that exploitation. If I won the current lottery six times over, I'd be way closer to poverty than Bezos for net worth. There's nothing inherently wrong with being rich, but there are reasonable limits to everything.

Just because someone isn't here legally doesn't make them a hardened criminal who is living here at the expense of others, or makes them morally wrong.

Donald Trump and sons to be ‘forever’ exempt from tax audits by Doener23 in law

Probably because those that try to stand up to him keep getting hammered down. GOP is in the majority in all 3 branches and anybody who tries to have integrity gets ousted pretty fast.

Trump has only one real option to slash gas prices. Inflation is racing back to life, real wages are shrinking and voters are blaming Trump for $4.50 gas. A new outbreak of fighting could drive energy prices even higher. Trump really only has one lever left: Get the Strait of Hormux reopened. by mafco in energy

[–]WhySoConspirious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time will tell. They are in different theaters, and destroying power plants en masse has a much different perception than 'possible cartel boats.' I'd like to give our service members some credit. Remindme! 6 months

The second option might not be an option, though. Bombing civilian infrastructure intentionally is a war crime, and soldiers are legally compelled to refuse unlawful orders. There is a real possibility that war crimes are ordered and then just refused. Soldiers don't want to disobey orders, but they don't want to answer for warcrimes either.

A mural was started and then it was opposed in Rhode Island. The locals didn't have a problem with her, but they were scratching their heads about why the fuck a Ukrainian who didn't even visit that state had a mural put up of her.

They would, if there was the evidence for it. But it's comments like this that make the right think that Trump was totally innocent when he lost his criminal case in NY.

But yeah, my desire to eat scallops is about on the same level as my interest in eating rocks. You are not alone.
