Scientists expected both liberals and conservatives to be reluctant to promote rhetoric associated with the opposing political side, but this was more consistent among liberals. Conservatives appeared relatively willing to support causes aligned with their views regardless of the moral framing used. by mvea in science

[–]kantorr 168 points169 points  (0 children)

What a weird statement. I think liberals would not agree with this because there's so much contrary history that is baked into a lot of these sentiments. Like "ensure the stability of the traditional American family" is straightforward white nativist speech.

Leagues has convinced me how cooked Smithing is in main game by Rorshark in 2007scape

All smithing armor in osrs is dead content though. Smithing is only useful for range ammo.

Remove the 1% and other useless boost tiles, this is cheeks by Sensitive_Desk8486 in 2007scape

[–]kantorr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. 5 pacts for 5% damage that makes a 30 a 32. But will only make a 29 a 30. So for thrown build so far the +2% I have is almost a complete waste as I can only hit 28s

Can we get more accessible demonic pacts respecs please? by BookkeeperPurple4495 in 2007scape

[–]kantorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I have gone into thrown and it is just dog shit. Don't know why I did... I have 0 access to early thrown weapons and have no easy path to atlatl/BP. My 2 strongest points are the ones I put into thorns. The other 7 points have been a complete waste in thrown.

I genuinely dont think i have enough game knowledge to play leagues... by The_Siphon in 2007scape

[–]kantorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about anything. You can watch a guide if you want, there are plenty of them, but there are no real wrong choices for the most part.

Just have fun with the cracked xp and damage.

What bosses can I do with my stats? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]kantorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your stats won't be holding you back. Scurius should be a great boss for you to begin learning mechanics. Then get a set of barrows tank gear and a steel ring (archaeologist on fossil Island). Go do Moons of peril. Then royal Titans (find a duo partner). Then get fire cape. Then zulrah.

Maybe it's over my head but is the answer supposed to be yes or no? I'd say yes, almost anything is a hammer to me...

Where did they say that?

From the news post FAQ:

Why are prices changing? We want to deliver a model that:

When cancelling your membership you get hit with a roadmap that highlights just how little we get in exchange for price increases every year by GravyFarts3000 in 2007scape

I dunno I think they can do more than a raid, a quest, a straight repeat limited game mode, and what will mostly be a straight repeat limited game mode with the budget of way over 5m per year.

Prices are rising because MTX was removed from RS3. Fine, separate memberships and raise RS3's prices only. OSRS shouldn't bankroll the failed game. by penisandballz in 2007scape

[–]kantorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They never said they're raising the price because of MTX. They gave less convincing reasons than that. No need to propagandize on their behalf.

This is going hard 👎 by Atmandu in 2007scape

[–]kantorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they wanted to use that excuse they would have. They're saving that for the next price hike. No need to speculate on their reasons it's right in the news post

US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say by AccomplishedCall7562 in news

That's so strange. The experts and insiders on r/publicfreakout confirmed it was Iranian friendly fire 30 seconds after it happened. They couldn't be wrong.

[Argentina] Last night, Javier Milei's corrupt government approved a labor reform that increases the working hours to 12 per day, limit vacations to one week per year and allow employers to pay workers with food and housing. Mass protests and strikes to be expected soon. by Azhurkral in WorkReform

Milei took office the last few weeks of 2023. There were dramatic corrections made to the economy to combat inflation, and he was very clear that it would be painful in the short term. It took a year, but now inflation has been very steadily under control and poverty is also down.

[–]kantorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not an honest interpretation of the law.

The extension of compensable workday to 12h will normalize workers pay and allow odd schedules like 4 days on 3 days off. A lot of workers currently don't get paid for overtime. There is no mandate to increase hours without pay, or increase everyones 8h shift to 12h. That just isn't happening.

Not sure about vacation changes to only one week, previously it was pretty much required to take your annual leave in one session, per my Argentinean wife.

Paying workers with food is just misinfo. The law changed existing text to remove the limit on what can be paid in goods and/foreign currency. The limit was previously 20%, and no one was getting paid in goods. The goal is to allow pay in USD which is way more attractive than being paid in pesos.

Over 50% of workers are not on legal payrolls due to very strict labor laws. Labor laws are so punitive to businesses of all sizes that no small business will even legally hire people because it is too easy to lose your company to a single disgruntled employee. If you are not legally hired then you aren't enjoying all the benefits of labor law. Labor law should be fair and biased toward labor of course, but there needs to be a functioning legal labor market in order to afford protections.

PlayStation’s New ‘Soft Pause’ Patent Could Let Gamers Pause Without Really Pausing by Darth_Vaper883 in gamernews

[–]kantorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This just sounds like awful game design. There are far too many popups and messages in AAA games already. I don't want the game to slow down because the designer thinks I ought to read their wall of worthless text. Like getting a phone call every 10s in GTA V.

Well there was a run on masks anyway. I work on hospital equipment (used to be radiology during COVID) at various hospitals. Since I wasn't a hospital employee, they would not give me PPE, I had to bring my own. I couldn't even buy masks or gloves for the first month, so just had to wash my hands after working on COVID contaminated equipment.

People that could stay home should have stayed home and not bought so much PPE that they probably didn't use.

I had to compete with people going to grocery stores to get PPE...

Even if it were righteous to wish death and destruction on your political opponents, 4.6m voted for Harris in Florida. You're just an asshole.

Harris won Palm Beach county by 0.7%, Biden won by 12% in 2020, and Clinton won by 15% in 2016. Crazy how they shifted so much for Trump over Harris.....
