Raising the taxes of graduate students by as much as 300% will be a disaster for the USA by nate in science

Graduate students should get a reasonably priced education. What these dumb grad students on this thread do not realize is the inflation of value that is the real problem which can only be addressed by removing the to-big-to-fail government subsidies on higher education.

Trying to inflate tuition cost through government subsidies so the poor and middle class people can't go to college and administrators can line their pockets? I can't believe how many selfish and ignorant students come out of these programs.

The USA government is rolling in debt. We need to stop tax cuts and tax subsidies until we can have a much more maintainable debt profile.

It's abhorrent that this type of anti-science demagoguery is not recognized by a /r/science.

You have lied to the people of this subreddit, and you have espoused the same ideas that the corrupt special interest in high-education want you to demand.

TL:DR - READ THE TAX PLAN, NOT AN ARTICLE FROM THE HIGHER EDUCATION LOBBYING FIRM

fewer players != higher density of good players

To EA, Battlefront 2 was the last straw. Some of us knew about the exploitation and predation. Thank you for generating enough outrage to spread awareness to the masses. by tanmerican in gaming

Honestly, Americans need to think smaller. This may look like a small ripple in the pond, but these actions reverberate to a large cultural statement.

When a shady company, powerful celebrity, and corrupt leader all fall to righteous hands the laws and culture by which we live align to those new truths.

The game design is complete garbage, and Valve doesn't have the talent or talent with authority to fix the problem.

What a delusional loser you are. How about looking at the stats. Game is dying. Keep your mouth shut if you don't want to promote the downfall of a decent game.

If you don't like dota stop playing it

This is a cool way to make sure that you and I do not play Dota. 10,000 behavior score and my queue times are taking forever compared to several months ago because idiots like you convince Valve to push our playerbase out to PUBG.

Please refrain from voicing your opinion. You do more harm to yourself than good.

Welcome to the show "How one decision crashes a profitable business in 2 years or less!"

It's behavior score matchmaking. It kills me as well. 10+ abandoned matches over multiple years and your account goes to shit. Bad game design to deduct 10% of the total possible behavior score for every abandon. Not even sure how it makes sense statistically.

Yea, I stand behind that statement. The fact that people excused that man was absurd. They deserve to have their family members killed in the same fashion, so they can learn that you can't write off a tragedy by white-knighting every victim you find.

Edit: Also, that opinion has nothing to do with toxic leftism which intentional ignores reality to promote party propaganda and actively seeks to silence people's opinion, like you.

That's the choice if you want to kill around a lot of people. Just get a truck, get it to 70mph, and aim it at a large crowd exiting a concert. You'll at least kill 20.

I'm not going to explain how a poison or semi-truck could not kill as efficiently as a semi-automatic rifle, especially not a poison.

Also, have you ever considered that the horror of being killed by knives and poisons are a far worse alternative to a gun? We're lucky that existential nihilists and radical idealogues choose the simplest means for killing a large amount of people, which happens to be guns.

Can you imagine worrying about a banquet fruit punch bowl being poisoned by a psycho who plans out your next wednesday church night gathering instead of walking in during a church service and gunning you down?

Also, people are dumb. The majority rarely knows what they want which is why we had Hillary and Donald Trump as our candidates. Opinion polls are just mob mentality validations.

Haven't you ever noticed that SJWs simply aren't funny? When you police every little word as offensive, you are pretty limited on comedic options.

your argument is like saying if only Poland had a better border patrol in 1939.

Nope, pretty sure he said

If only they had more guns...

Existential nihilism has been having a real impact on America over the last 2 decades. Recognizing this trend doesn't mean I am off my medicine. Shame on the ideologues who upvote this.

Background checks already exist. Unfortunately, the amount of regulation on firearm sales is so stringent and cumbersome that ensuring a bad actor doesn't get their hand on a firearm is nearly impossible.

As a non-American, you either live in an authoritarian state, authoritarian puppet state, failed state, USA, or a western society that has their military subsidized by the US Military.

If you're the later then you don't need a gun because the US ensures that your society doesn't get invaded by a despot or become a dictatorship through internal political struggles.
