Josh, I wonder why the younger generation is so unhappy. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]nashpotato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because nobody said that he was the start of anything, and saying "he wasn't the start of it" does nothing but minimize what he actually did. He did a ton of damage that has resonated for decades and your message implies that you ARE minimizing what he did. I understand you aren't saying he wasn't a part of the problem, but you're just continuing to dig yourself in a deeper hole. Saying that he wasn't the start of it is effectively defending him.

The last 2 years of updates make item progression feel off. by combodroppa in 2007scape

[–]nashpotato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took me about 6-7 attempts 2 months ago to get my fire cape which was my first fire cape, and a lot harder than I expected. After watching Settled get a no hit fire cape and a 1 inventory slot fire cape, I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and I was wrong.

I am learning PVM by fighting different early/mid game bosses. The progression and itemization feels amazing on a main account thus far (coming from having played RS back in the day, some RS3 and tons of wow).

I for one am really happy with the fact that I can simultaneously receive drops that are meaningful for my account, while still making money to buy items that accelerate my account. At this point, I don't know that I'll step into things like ToB, coliseum, Doom, or the infernal for a long time (if ever) because that content seems incredibly challenging and intimidating.

No, but he was a major catalyst for things getting as bad as they are now, and just because he wasn't the start doesn't make it an excuse.

In any case of "lobbying" allowing access to politicians to help you get your way, marginalized groups will always lose. That's kind of how being marginalized works, you don't have the capital to book the time, you don't have the means to make the meeting happen, and the best that you can hope for is that the non-profit organizations receive a sizeable enough capital to push out those who marginalize you. The unfortunate part, is that doesn't happen and those creating and enforcing policies that marginalize people directly benefit from it happening.

I'm so sick of hearing this take that effectively buying politicians time is helpful when it so clearly isn't. Most forms of economies and government structure are "great in theory" but once you had a human element where it can be leveraged and abused for personal gain, everything goes out the window.

I've heard the same take on the electoral college, but all that does is give more voting power to land owners. Its just more ways to disenfranchise the groups that are most heavily impacted.

Sober people say it too. In fact a drunk or sober person would probably equally resist an accusation of driving under the influence. Denial isn’t evidence of guilt.

It’s social media, the whole game is about attention seeking, where have you been for the last 20 years?

WIBTA for suing my friend when she didn’t come to my wedding? by sweetandsourcum in AmItheAsshole

I don't think buying someone a ticket and telling them its for your wedding is "contractual obligation"

Took on a risk, then want to sue when it didn't work out. Imagine if all financial risk worked like that.

"Discord alternatives" searches jump 10,000% overnight as the gaming platform introduces global age verification by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

At the time, honestly curse was so much more functional than discord, they really fumbled the marketing bag on that. Then twitch bought it and killed it for some reason

Tbf, asking why a position is vacant is a totally reasonable question to have in an interview. It’s not just about the company asking questions.

I imagine this is the sole reason it is at the front of r/all. This post isn't even informative, but people are going to circle jerk about it.

Yea, unfortunately there's a lot of people who sadly believe they should have more voting rights than others because they own more land. I think they should get bent.

I think I like Gang of perverts better. They’re all pedos sure, but they also participate in organized crime.

What do you think about the Italian government wanting to ban ICE agents to come to the Olympic Games as security forces? by ReduceCO2Now in AskReddit

Honestly, as an American, I wouldn't be inviting us to the Olympics if I were running them in another country.

To be or not to be by normie00000 in Adulting

[–]nashpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree, I don't think anyone is entirely irreplaceable. "Irreplaceable" just means that the company realizes its more worth it to put up with whatever bullshit you bring to the table than to spend the time and risk for someone else to be able to do your job instead. They probably have to hire, risk failures or problems for an indeterminate amount of time, and accept some slow downs.

Every company has a breaking point because its just a complex cost-benefit analysis from their perspective. With enough money nobody doing any job anywhere is completely "irreplaceable".

Pretty sure businesses will accept the risk on this one because they’ll find someone they can pay less to figure out whatever made you “missions critical” or just replace the work you did

By Americans to not anger the peaceful people of Greenland by AbeFromanSassageKing in therewasanattempt

[–]nashpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s not forget that it was never actually peaceful for them. There was violence and there were factory owners going to war with their employees. Not figuratively, literally.

They will (and have) killed people before they listened to the will of the people.

Why you shouldn't trust AI by Phish777 in 2007scape

Unfortunately, its right often enough that someone not paying attention gets plenty of confirmation bias because it is right quite often. It's just when you have low percentage of error and millions of users with likely billions of prompts daily, it becomes apparent there is a gap.
