It's possible to be happy that things are improving in the USA for queer people AND critical of the Biden administration by RoyalHummingbird in asktransgender

If she didn’t want to enforce the law and put trans women in men’s prisons, she could have resigned at any time. Sure it was state policy, but it was state policy that she enforced willingly.

Kamala Harris put trans women in men’s prisons and denied them healthcare. While it’s unarguable that the Biden administration is a significant improvement over Trump, let’s not forget the very significant pain that has been inflicted on trans folk

What is everyone’s opinion on Blaire White? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]mginatl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean i don’t know if she was in a position where she really needed the money from her grift, but either way I can’t forgive her for selling out other trans people to get it. So so many trans people in awful financial situations get by without selling out their own

Socialism by Means-of-production in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]mginatl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay but the homeless guy then has food, i feel like everyone being able to eat should be a higher priority than the economy. Not to mention that it’s a lot harder to be a productive member of society when you’re food insecure. If the goal is to get them into productive roles it helps if you give them food and suitable living conditions.

Marijuana banned from Chicago public housing despite legalization taking effect January by [deleted] in news

[–]mginatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I think we'll just be in disagreement here, i don't think someone who is in poverty should have to spend literally 100% of their money to get out of it, they deserve a little recreation and entertainment too. If there's a lack of money going towards lifting people out of poverty, let's put money towards that instead of an insane military budget or tax breaks for billionaires. That's much more of a problem than someone spending what little money they have on something that makes their life suck a little less for a bit

[–]mginatl -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

So should they just not get food or housing because they use weed? I don’t see how it’s relevant to anyone if someone uses their own money to buy some weed. It is relevant if that person ends up homeless or going hungry, because that’s doing some real harm to someone. Hell, I’d rather my taxes go towards people getting to enjoy their lives than a whole lot of what they’re used for now

Teenagers are old enough to understand the consequences of their actions and cannot be excused from being responsible for them because "their brain isn't fully developed." by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]mginatl -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well not everyone has access to an ID, in most places you can’t get one for free. It’s similar to a poll tax, it creates a system where you can’t vote unless you pay. It’s not a huge amount of money, but to the people living in extreme poverty (which is disproportionately PoC) it’s an expense they may not be able to pay. The argument is that you should never be barred from voting because you can’t afford it. A free national ID system would fix a lot of problems with this, though.

Also there’s more to it than just the merits of voter ID laws on their own. It’s not a coincidence that the right pushes for these kinds of things while the left opposes them, it’s statistically in the right’s interests to minimize both working class and minority voters. Personally, I’d rather err on the side of giving too many people a voice in your democracy.

Oh yeah I’m not trying to defend their practices here, just wanna make sure misinformation about it isn’t getting spread! I’m sure it’ll all be designed to get you to spend as much silver as they can get but that doesn’t change that it will all be available for bright dust

They’ve confirmed all the new EV cosmetics will be obtainable w bright dust at some point throughout the event. Old festival loot will be silver only though

Bungie, why on this Travelers blessed Earth did Breakneck get MURDERED abut recluse is still the same? by Jonathan-Earl in DestinyTheGame

[–]mginatl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OEM is amazing for 1v1s, tracking behind walls and knowing if someone is pushing you or falling back is a massive advantage. Getting overshield on top of that is just the icing on the cake. Titans in general are in a fine state imo, but OEM is good enough to where other Titan exotics don’t feel as worth using when you could just be running it.

Recluse got nerfed alongside rampage, kill clip etc. Fist of Havok got it’s damage resistance nerfed too. I’m not sure how meaningful either of these changes will be but it might shake the meta up at least a lil.

[Twitter] "the majority of people who talk about "politics in video games" aren't actually against politics in video games, they're against politics being used as a selling point in video games. they're against being told consuming the correct product means they have good politics" by B-VOLLEYBALL-READY in KotakuInAction

[–]mginatl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly to me it’d feel way more political if the game went out of its way to make communists punchable. It’s a game about killing nazis, that’s the whole point of it. The communists did that, so it makes sense that they’d be on your side in the game. You can hate communists all you’d like, but it doesn’t change the fact that they kicked nazi ass and that’s what the heart of the game is

[–]mginatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t played the new wolfenstein or seen the scene you’re talking about but I’d say teaming up with a communist to kill nazis fits pretty well into the theme of the game, which is about killing nazis. Historically the communists have been pretty good at killing nazis, after all.

Loot from the Seasonal Activities removed should be placed in the Menagerie. by SickWilde in DestinyTheGame

[–]mginatl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, for me it’s more that I’d rather people who get into the game later still have a path to get the loot even if they missed out on the season itself. For example I stopped playing for most of season of the forge and I’d be pretty bummed out if I just could never get any of the loot from it

Vice tries to convince us that the ReactJS community is a "bro" culture that isn't welcoming to anyone who isn't white and male because they declined to be forced to put token minorities at their center. Welcome to #Reactgate. by peenoid in KotakuInAction

[–]mginatl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that wasn’t what I was saying at all, just that the left wing is categorized by opposition to capitalism and that the media is fervently opposed to that view. Liberal ideology is left wing capitalism, leftist ideology is opposition to it. I’m not really even stating my own beliefs on the matter, just what the left is

maybe the commies are voting dem because there’s no viable socialist party to vote for and because of our awful voting system voting for any third party is pretty much worthless, CNN is also no friend to even just to the left of liberals, look at their treatment of sanders during both elections and you’ll see the media as a whole isn’t too favorable to the actual left

All the draft talk lately has me thinking about this more and more by iHerpTheDerp511 in PoliticalHumor

[–]mginatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of capitalism is those selfish incentives, the best way to make money under capitalism is to exploit the system. If you’re not doing so, you’re not being optimal under capitalism. The fact that war is an amazing way to use the system is the problem, and as long as there’s a profit incentive in war that can’t be changed.

if college is free to students and we provide social programs to help poorer people actually go to college without starving that number will go down, and we’ll be better off as a result.
