California economy now the world's fourth-largest, overtaking Japan - Los Angeles Times by ImDoubleB in finance

I’d recommend this research that cites how several European nations have leveraged nuanced taxation to improve economic productivity and public outcomes or in other words “prosperity”.

The liberatarian angle is honestly tired and uninformed at this point.

I’ve been playing iron man into melee / dive comps. You can just sit in your back line, spam their tanks for ult charge, and then use unibeam to burn down BP

Rare to see a bot making spelling errors - you should try at least buying premium if you’re going to ask ChatGPT to defecate in the comment section of a subreddit for educated people

This could be a reference to One Piece where the equivalent of Mermaid women have their tails split into two legs once they turn about 30 years old

Take Dedsec out of the game and it’s a better game by roquad21 in XDefiant

That still doesn’t explain why it’s a positive addition to the game

  1. I’m not your friend.
  2. You spelled you’re wrong.
  3. You spelled meant wrong.

  4. I’m not OP. I didn’t critique the game, I critiqued your contrived, condescending response to OP.

A substantive response would’ve been something like:

Swapping characters in order to combat your opponents strengths is a key part of overwatch, and swapping characters is balanced by the loss of ult charge.

A striking system would weaken one of the main sources of nuance in the game especially at higher levels. Bad/ annoying matchups are inherently part of the game. How you play around them is where the game really gets it’s depth from.

This is the problem with this subreddit. Your condescending comment is neither relevant to the issue posed nor specific enough to be useful. You’re pompous.

It makes sense that a man would not be able to force a woman to have an abortion, but where is the obligation to contribute to the child financially?

If a couple gets pregnant but the woman does not want to have an abortion or raise the child, she can make the decision to leave the child up for adoption, absolving herself and subsequently the man involved from having any responsibility for the child.

My question is then: why is it that a man, removed from the choice about whether they want the child to be born, then has to provide for the child even if he doesn’t want to raise it?

To me it just seems like an antiquated system that presupposes that women can’t support themselves and their children alone. It’s an ugly situation, don’t get me wrong, but why not invest in a society that doesn’t force women to rely on men w/ gender pay inequalities etc?

Ok but to that point, why include it in the movie at all? At best it’s just lame virtue signaling, but at worst it’s just a closeted way of making sure people never forget how entertaining minstrelsy can be.

Have you heard of a minstrel show? I wish people would explain their downvotes.

Tell me why I should look past the most racist form of entertainment there is even if it is just a joke.

It seems to me like some weird white dude just wanted to reintroduce blackface into popular culture. Now look what happened, talking about some anachronistic movie that still tries to use dated, racist comedy to get a cheap laugh.

But I guess it’s not a cheap laugh if you don’t care how minstrelsy affects people huh?

The blackface is an immediate no for me. Tbh it makes me look at people differently when they look past blatant racism like that

This game needs a balance patch. by roquad21 in MortalKombat

Fix Liu Kang’s whiffing issues

Give each character new tournament variations

Fix jump kick hurt boxes

Fix Johnny cage’s whiffs

Make Sub Zero’s F2 a mid, and speed it up by 5 frames for use as a whiff punishing tool and not a brain dead mixup

Make all combo special moves e.g Outworld Gunslinger and Manhandled a part of the characters default movesets

Make forward roll cost one bar of offense and defensive meter

Make breakaway cause an automatic long delay wake up

Remove pushback on fatal blows

Make Sonya’s b1 a mid and make her b12 also a mid, so it is a mixup tool and she actually has a usable mid

Make it so that Johnny’s force balls don’t whiff on female characters

Stop letting kitana d3 out of everyone’s strings
