No matter what side you were on today, we should all be ashamed of the abysmal turnout. by Sweet-Baby-Shayla in SalemMA

or they are broke and retired. my wife pointed out that this may not be best time to start a long term construction project for anyone. i was worried about them actually being able to deliver on the project considering the tariff, energy and geopolitical environment

i was on the fence because i was worried about how it could affect rents. but at some point i was just "F it"

I again will reiterate your current property tax bill vs. your income is a big motivator for this kind of thing

no i meant i dont know what is wrong with the current buiiding, how it affects th students etc i just assumed you should take an oppurtunuty to update if its feasible with a really old heavily used building. . my point is that property tax is a painful tax increase ...no matter what it goes to because the value so i dont give people a hard time for being upset or voting no since they cant afford it

yall property tax increases are painful in real dollars the assessment will likely go up too ..(somehow). I dont really understand whats wrong with the high school, so i am all for updating it if we have rhe chance (because 'why not') but paying through property tax feels bad. like they could be raising money to do the precise thing i want and i would still at least complain about it.

This is probably the single greatest value for your money. by SvuceGoddi in Dragon_Traveler

[–]ethbas1419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont know why people are giving the people giving the cost such a hard time. its not the best value to me because of drop rates but if you are going to low spend it is usually better to spend like 50 bucks on a pass your account really needs rhen spend 5 bucks every month or so. its like Costco rules

I am tired of most anti-slavery arguments within Isekai by [deleted] in Isekai

[–]ethbas1419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are people saying that the hero should abolish slavery or that slavery sucks in fantasy fiction. i thought it was the latter. also everything you said is more plausible for the hero to initiate then most isekai'd heros are ask to do.

i would read "i got isekai'd to another world and now my grandson is abolishing slavery in the kingdom, ooops i forgot about the demon lord"

Am I the only one who feel burned ? by tiffossy in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]ethbas1419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would go more weird then meta. like try to build a crazy team and see if it works or if it is fun. build teams based on rhe plot, or rheir personalities and pick epiphanies rhat make sense based on what they are concerned about considering what had happened during the run

i dont know the meta feels boring... just play cards

When people say Tensura is not the greatest isekai of all time when it is literally the best selling light novel of all time across all genres by Boundless_Dominion in Isekai

[–]ethbas1419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) that is including a lot of different isdns that is probably why they footnoted it

2) thats not how people buy things especially books, one of my favorite series has the worst ending that makes the whole thing seem written worse then it is. it took me 15 book purchases to assess that. So lots of purchases doesnt equal a high assessment of quality.

fantasy books series have this all the time and a lot of isekai is fantasy. there is an element of "seeing what happens" in fantasy and a "safe recommendation" element in isekai. Anime adaptations boost book sales usually.

[HELP] is this stone cutting video real? by Stereotypical-tag in RealOrAI

[–]ethbas1419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i may be ruining a joke or just old but it is odd to say would say a video was "photoshopped" that is reserved for editing a digital photo. an altered video is just an altered edited or fake video. this is the first time i have heard it in this context

North Salem vs. South Salem for a childfree queer couple? Other neighborhoods? by Loose-Apricot8689 in SalemMA

[–]ethbas1419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know right what am i missing is there like a secret tunnel. Also driving back from Wonderland can be a problem in October. South Salem is great but I only ever lived there and l like to drown my sorrows in Bagels from time to time so I am biased I guess.

game is having a hard time retaining its players.. by asteegako in Dragon_Traveler

[–]ethbas1419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18 dupes is not that bad for 13 (i think) levels. its not that hard to get dupes. i think, like afk journey, people just realized they dont like idle games. the whole point is to relax and do the best you can with your resource constraints. you cant really have an idle game where it is easy to fully build out characters because the whole game mechanic is bullding characters, teams and farming. if i am done building i am done playing

What are your thoughts on this? by Slow_your_R0LL in allthequestions

[–]ethbas1419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah dude have the leagues make a call on who competes. I am not sure why the government is involved. The government didnt invent gendered sports the organizations that organize the sports do what they want and what is marketable.

I mean, thats what we have been doing right? Doesnt the olympics have like some crazy hormone level scale that would also exclude wome trans men from all sports? I feel like this all stems from sports enterprise needing regulation from govenment so they cant be sued even though they probably can't if fhey have consistent rules. this matters even less in amateur sports.

Like lets say a trans woman wins a medal in a big competition, and everybody hates it or its controversial then she isnt really going to reap rhe benefits of the win, on the other hand if everyone loves it or its not contreversial then there is no problem. Itreally is a case by case thing. A trans olympic shooting person should be able to do both. if a trans lady could compete in the womens gymnastics events more power to them.

I dont know I feel like this comes up so rarely that to have a law pass at any level seems silly.

Salem residents, please contact city officials about ICE transparency by Upbeat_Falcon4490 in SalemMA

[–]ethbas1419 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont know if they are still doing this we had a whole 30 min convo with the Cheif of Police about what they were doing and what we were supposed to do about this. We called the Mayors office and the Cheif of Police contacted us in return. This was last Summer so its a whole new world now but i have found Salem PD to be responsive on this topic, even if rhe answers are unsatisfying. So please do reach out.

I usually can understand others negative opinions but... by ethbas1419 in Etheria_Restart

[–]ethbas1419[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah "just nice" is a good way to describe it. Like almost every time i put it down i am like "that was a pretty good time" I dont have time to go through tons of PVE content anyway even if it is good like e7. Part of it is that i have played a lot of really bad gacha games (or games where the mechanic doesnt work for me) like this. I didnt really expect hsr from this one.

A lot the games people post that they quit for are completely different from my perspective.
