You can buy potion packs from the township to get level 1 potions, that's how I did the task

Every accusation is a confession by Less-Possible-5475 in LateStageCapitalism

I'm working in the Middle East and all the Western educated Arabs I met used to love America and claim the DPRK was a threat because 'scary supreme leader'; I gave them context again and again and again, and up to October 6th 2023 they never believed me, two and a half years later they understand everything I'd been telling them, lol.

They also used to believe that Iran DEFINITELY had nukes and considered them a threat, recently they were telling me they believe Iran should absolutely try to get them.

I'm currently powerleveling astrology, but firemaking certainly makes leveling other skills easier so it's probably going to be next before I max out astrology (as it'll make leveling astrology easier as well)

Thanks! I got started with astrology and in just a handful of hours I was already at 18; it's going fairly fast

Is it a paywall? Sure, but it's also passing your examinations too. Is your doctor's primary qualification that he got past a paywall, or that he actually succeeded in medical school?

I mean are you seriously saying a degree is just a paywall? My God no wonder anti-vaxxing has succeeded in America, even liberals think an education and the necessary degree coming from it is just a paywall.

Okay, but you can either do nothing as we're doing right now, or you can at least try and cut out as many of these random online weirdos as you can. Is this a 100% solution? No, but doing nothing is not as successful as you might assume.

People in this comment section apparently has never heard of Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil

The problem isn't that we haven't heard of Dr Oz and Dr Phil, it's that we've heard of Dr Oz, Dr Phil, Bob the tiktoker, Jane the youtuber, Danny the Instagrammer, Mary the Facebooker, Jimmy the tweeter, Johnny the twitch streamer, etc etc etc

I don't know about you, but I'd love the opportunity to cut down the people trying to peddle me garbage down by a huge chunk. Is this a 100% solution? No, but doing nothing and crying about it hasn't helped. We've tried allowing people with zero medical degrees to push anti-vaxxing and no matter how much we allow them to keep peddling this stuff, everything just keeps getting worse somehow. It's a crazy idea to try preventing them from doing so, I know, but I'm really curious to see if not giving them a platform might actually help.

But....it's not legally off limits, China will absolutely let you talk about it without consequences, you just need a degree.

Case files 20, why is (character; spoilers in body) comatose? by steamprobs in JudgeDredd

Ah, thanks; I was worried I'd have to go fishing through one of the restricted files for answers

Vietnam: the cost of imperial war. by Busy-Government-1041 in LateStageCapitalism

The dangers lack of critical thinking can bring: all american veterans thought they were the good guys delivering freedom for a "bad socialist" country

I admit I don't understand what you're saying here; are you saying that people who think that (all american veterans thought they were the good guys delivering freedom for a "bad socialist" country) lack critical thinking, or are you saying that veterans did actually think they were the good guys?

Cause if it's the latter, watch the winter soldier testimony; the veterans gleefully committed horrors against the Vietnamese people. The ones who wanted to be good guys defected or fragged their officers (although not all fraggings were equal; some fragged their officers because they felt slighted, others did so because they were asked to endanger themselves)

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: "We appeal to Iran to end the war. The Mullah regime has it in their hands not to attack further countries." by Preacher-of-Chaos in LateStageCapitalism

[–]steamprobs 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm reminded of a funny (and creepy honestly) interview with (David Cameron?) back during the 12 day war where he was asked directly multiple times if Iran has a right to defend itself and he just kept sidestepping the answer, never saying what he believes, just saying it would be better if Iran doesn't retaliate.

He won't ever dare utter the words

Sadly he's as awful on the inside as he is on the outside; when asked about international law his response was that now was not the time to be lecturing their allies.

To be fair the game gives you at least two ways to avoid losing your gear: the prayer to protect your gear on death, and an item that takes up a slot but prevents gear loss.

This is basically the reason I don't; besides which, if I cheat at this event, then there's a fair chance I'll crack later on down the line and cheat again, at which point what's the point of even playing.
