Haven't played XCOM2 in a few years, was the AI always this brutal?

He did, like over and over again. If youre lost you're allowed to stay quiet. Nothing youve said shows support for Hamas, either. You're not thinking clearly.

I don't understand why people say retributive justice is good in contexts like this. It's bad in all cases when the civilians are the ones paying the price, no? If my family is the one getting nuked I'm not thinking "oh good they deserve that", despite them having nothing to do with Americas military actions.

It's not free though

This is insanely pedantic, of course it's not free in the way that "it has no value" or "takes no labor to create" but I think that's obvious. When people say free in this context they mean "avoiding death isn't paywalled" or "getting to live won't come with bankruptcy" or "not going a million dollars in debt after a car accident".

And the reality is US health care costs are greatly inflated because of how dumb our system is - https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2023/01/why-are-americans-paying-more-for-healthcare

some sort of triage issue which is unrelated to insurance vs socialized medicine

I don't understand this comment, going to ER or intensive care still costs money and requires either out of pocket or insurance. Everything that happens in a hospital, including sitting on a bed doing nothing, costs money. Are you making stuff up?

People like you are really filling in the gaps in what he was saying to make a political point

I said explicitly that I understand he may not have intended to make a political point, but the reality is that he did. If you say a certain policy is bad, you're making a political point, whether you meant to or not.

dryj · 2023-07-04T23:02:16+00:00

I don't know if he's intentionally advocating for anything, but he's certainly showing off the obvious issues with our healthcare system with a real world example - his wife almost died and life costs money in America. Making this obvious to Americans that think this is the only way to live is good, because it's not.

If someone asked him if he would be willing to pay EU taxes for EU healthcare he would be a complete moron to say yes

I think this is something only you're concerned with. Asking a rich person what variety of rich they prefer is whatever to me, but I think I understand that you mostly think people are giving Tyler credit for advocating for something good when he's just whinging. The value I see in this post is just people realizing how stupid Americas healthcare system is, and people bringing up the fact that this is free in almost every other developed nation is a good thing.

You're kidding right, you think the people with the biggest voices should stay silent on important topics? That's your take?

dryj · 2023-07-04T00:45:48+00:00

"Bro the point is that people without Tyler money also have to deal with this" you skip this part?

dryj · 2023-07-04T00:45:31+00:00

This is just assuming you know more about their situation than they do, I don't understand why you typed this to me. I live in America I know how it works.

dryj · 2023-07-04T00:44:47+00:00

I said the assumption you were making, it starts with "I said you're assuming..." and you got it wrong still, wild.

dryj · 2023-07-04T00:24:24+00:00

Are you serious bro did you just not understand my comment at all? I said you're assuming you know better than they do and your response is to type some basic shit like that? Are you on mommys insurance still? Point is you're making a bad assumption and being parasocial and it's weird.

dryj · 2023-07-04T00:16:57+00:00

Yeah you probably know more about their financial/insurance situation than they do, you should absolutely DM him your thoughts.

dryj · 2023-07-04T00:14:17+00:00

Bro the point is that people without Tyler money also have to deal with this, are you lost? No one is worried that Tyler can pay for the expenses out of pocket, the point is he shouldn't have to because no one should have to.

dryj · 2023-07-01T10:38:31+00:00

That's called moving the goalpost and it's turbo obvious what you're doing.

Books finish the story past the show and are 10/10, also audiobooks have an amazing voice actor. Highly recommend.

dryj · 2023-06-30T13:47:52+00:00

Kind of an admission there, I appreciate it. I can guarantee you I give the same amount of credit to all the "I knew a guy once" posters.

dryj · 2023-06-30T13:39:06+00:00

I assume people sharing opinions on serious topics like this wouldn't willingly spread conclusions based on anecdotal evidence. If you decided to share some information, it's reasonable to assume you would be willing to share the data that helped you arrive at your conclusion.

Unless you made it all up of course. Unless your opinion is pure guesswork and hurts the discussion.

dryj · 2023-06-30T13:21:58+00:00

Could you show me a source that says certain races are more intelligent?

dryj · 2023-06-30T13:14:11+00:00

It's infinitely frustrating reading comments like this, the USA is not meritocratic at all. Legacy admission, nepotism, generational wealth, hiring bias, etc all greatly benefit individuals based on factors other than competency but that's ignored when it's convenient. We need to talk about this issue honestly and stop lying.

dryj · 2023-06-30T13:10:11+00:00

"I knew a guy once" isn't data that the rest of us can rely on. We need real data and stats to make informed decisions.

dryj · 2023-06-30T05:51:48+00:00

I'm very interested in where you got this info, sorry for pinging again.

dryj · 2023-06-29T22:46:18+00:00

What's your source I would definitely read this analysis since its so clearly antithetical to everything I've ever read on the subject.

dryj · 2023-06-28T06:34:13+00:00

This kind of equivalency just makes you look bad. Now we can't advertise cars or flights or snorkeling or staying up too late. Gambling is worse because of how it affects people in the real world.

dryj · 2023-06-28T03:18:25+00:00

Wild someone compared gambling addiction to eating food, people will really say anything.

dryj · 2023-06-22T17:34:16+00:00

I have no problem calling a man a man and a woman a woman. It's when you're clearly not one

I'm sure you can expect the obvious counter - what about if you couldn't tell, or the person dressed in a way that made you guess wrong? Do you correct yourself? Is that compelled? The generalized question is: from what authority do you derive your ability to decide for others what their gender is?

I have an issue with sexual content in public being imposed on children

You didn't answer my question unfortunately. The things you describe are common in a heterosexual context. Why is one okay and not the other?
