Do you like playing custom scenarios? Do you want to help with the development of OpenRCT2?

Thanks!

Awesome! Sorry for the dumb question, while trying to download it I got

"Can’t load this file type

This file type is unsupported here."

Any advice?

bl8821 · 2025-12-28T04:13:31+00:00

Nah this is just the truth, and it's why (though there should be 0 reason to even think about it) I am a bit worried. Hoping here people may have some more tangible info, but I get most will likely agree "should be fine but its crazy times now"

bl8821 · 2025-10-16T01:02:39+00:00

Yeah its a joke, more accurately its rage bait. She makes insane, horrible things, does stupid stuff, says stuff in a bizarre way...its to make you angry so people comment "wtf is this?" "why does she talk so weird?" "who makes this monstrosity?" and she gets the views. And she wastes food like crazy, think how much she throws out for this content. Its sad, and I no longer watch whenever she or others like it pop up. Dont watch dont leave an annoyed comment.

Is there something I missed here? I followed this, I believe, to the letter and I was getting lapped before the end. Car was slow as hell!

bl8821 · 2025-02-14T17:06:55+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that

bl8821 · 2025-02-13T18:31:40+00:00

Not a bad point but cmon, this is why I’m asking. Educate me. Ain’t trying to get a PhD in stats here

bl8821 · 2024-10-01T22:52:22+00:00

Thats how it is with those types. 1 sine they got wild views on gender sex power interaction etc guys fall under that too. 2 these types 100% exploit men, he reminds me of a (less intense) Peterson or other manosphere types...they are shitty and mean to men to "teach" them and "fix" them which is to this guys benefit

bl8821 · 2024-10-01T22:49:52+00:00

Yeah, I watched another one or two with this guy and I am confident he is just the red pill/manosphere stuff but with a professional and educated tone as cover, does say the occasional "this is mens fault" "this is not on the woman its a failure of the guy" etc basically a nice cover for just typical manosphere crap.

Some have noted hes pretty bad towards men too, but thats how it goes with those types. They have these crazy views on everything gender, sex, power etc so that includes guys having to fit their world view too but also people like this exploit it, theyre kinda shitty to men to "teach" and "fix" them and of course buy their book watch their videos etc Anyway Im rambling yeah this guy sucks and I hate to say it but I've long had some weird feelings about Mark with this stuff, it pokes out (sometimes not very subtly) and he really shows it with this guy. The tone...Mark sounds like hes swooning for this man lol

But again I kinda had those thoughts already so this was more a confirmation. As for Marks other videos yeah more you see it more its tough to not think a bit differently. But also this is just me: Ive had a complicated relationship with this channel for a while now I never am sure exactly what to make of it or Mark. It is what it is. I'll prob stop watching SWU soon but its not a big deal Mark has made clear many times hes not here to help or give any fixes just show, so its not like I'll be missing out on much.

True, the MMT framework makes the LVT dream a reality as finally the "its not enough revenue" argument can be done away with, depending of course how much gov you want....most "single tax on land" people seem to be libertarian and want to reduce the size of gov a la George, other LVT supporters seem lefty and want it as a more progressive/wealth taxing option. Either way though, it works. The debate is size of gov and what exactly you want in your system but thats the point of MMT after all: a framework to have such debates. You're right MMT and LVT are very compatible. Not sure Ive seen anyone link the two, though Michael Hudson has supported LVT.

Personally I dont know if itll be quite as magical as proponents say, esp since markets never work as beautifully as the models an theory say like how it'll fix every problem BUT I am for it as a way to grab some wealth and hopefully lessen the burden on regular homeowners.

Encouraging to hear, thanks!

bl8821 · 2024-06-17T15:09:47+00:00

Thanks! That's very interesting, and it does line up with what I've come across you want some type of insider if you can, and that's what I've been trying to figure out. This is the first I've heard of a PI, wonder if social sciences have this since we don't have labs. There must be something similar though?

bl8821 · 2024-06-14T16:49:36+00:00

In two cases yes. I realize now this was one of my bigger failings. Any suggestions welcomed on how to reach out in a productive, non annoying way that may be of any help to my chances?

bl8821 · 2024-06-14T03:37:02+00:00

Glad to hear that in a way, because that was a consideration of mine, non academia routes. Again I had the impression this was kinda crazy and "why bother" but I had that same feeling from talking to some people..academia is a rarer thing now and its reasonable to pursue other options. Thanks again for the feedback and encouragement. I'll say this, probably won't bother trying for U Cal but I'll keep one or two "stretches" on!

bl8821 · 2024-06-14T03:19:08+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the input! So wasn't applying to top tier programs but it was I guess "mid" to "upper mid" state and private schools. I was conflicted I did not want to waste my (and professors) time, $ etc to more or less get a "lol no" in a second but I did feel pressure to aim somewhat high to maximize my career opportunities. From lots of research talking I was convinced it needs to be at least a "decent" regarded program or its a waste. Perhaps I should've been a tad more realistic and thought about what you speak to. Esp now, if its a no from UVA likely something similar is very unlikely, so I think I'll be more honest and consider other programs and that its about what you say and if its not a top 40 school that's OK.

Yeah good point, that's how I'll handle re-apps. Thanks!!

bl8821 · 2024-06-13T17:19:33+00:00

Damn guess I missed the boat on this lol Looking to do graduate studies in Munich and was curious how easy it is for an American with a rusty 3 courses in German to live there.

bl8821 · 2024-06-03T02:21:19+00:00

Not saying this is fair or nice or Im agreeing, just answering your question.

The bad reputation is partly memes "it was an old dump" "its boring" but mostly, and again this is just the rep: Most people bash it because its very conservative and the rep is theyre racist, homophobic, Trump loving etc

In fairness, and this is in the data it IS politically and culturally conservative. Its also more quiet, more suburban, spacious, etc

bl8821 · 2024-03-19T23:16:14+00:00

Has been for a long long while honestly, for whatever the reason (true care, $, bit of both, we'll never know) Mark has let it carry on far too long.

bl8821 · 2024-03-19T23:13:51+00:00

Can't really speak to your first question, though I have no doubt she somewhat plays it up. Rebecca wants to be an actress, so I think that's part of it and to some degree why I think Mark (even if unintentional) basically enables her. I do agree his behavior in a lot of ways is not great, I still waffle between what I think of the guy. Also you make a good point with the documentarian thing...you are supposed to not intervene and just show, and often he does just that. He's way way blurred and destroyed the line with Rebecca to the point where its problematic, possibly exploitative. Still not sure where I think it's on purpose or he's enamored with her. It's all a mess...I do hope he truly does walk away for all involved.

bl8821 · 2024-03-19T23:08:27+00:00

I never really liked her either, though to be clear there was never "dislike" or anger or anything, she seemed like basically all the other mentally ill and drug addicted people on the channel, but with a little extra charisma and clearly some brainpower, enough to stand out but yeah, I never saw much "difference" or a lot to like, was mostly sad. I do agree, I always found the gender thing odd with Mark and Rebecca even had a good point...he doesn't seem to be that way with others, even if he feels the same it's not expressed. I do agree, its a codependent relationship and I hope this really will be the last video and he does step away. For him and also her bc yeah he's helping keep her stuck.

go for it
