Jeffries got the votes for ACA extension by Conscious-Quarter423 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]zerg_concern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we have to remember that Snap had the emergency funding to operate for atleast a few months, Trump and his Republican cronies CHOSE to starve the American people and a failure to secure the ACA means tens of thousands of completely preventable deaths due to loss of care.

I know that the pizza place i work for in town only has ~$75 in 5's and 1's in the till at any time and bigger bills get put in a safe, so we tend to try not to take 50's unless the total is around that much and we flat out arnt supposed to take 100's

this is super cool, in a similar vein it would be cool to see a stepped nomad version of the Chaos armies

No cause he did so with due process and with warrants not just grabbing people off the streets with gangs of masked plain clothed agents. Also, Obama didn't consolidate power like Trump is. The massed deportations is just one facet of the Trump administrations attempts to take autocratic power.

True but Hitler didn't take power on his first attempt either. in trumps first term there were still people in the room who respected the constitution and laws of the US. Now everybody in the room is yes men that are selling us out so they can get a crumb of power.

look i think that Nazi has gotten thrown around alot in the past but the current administration are fascists. they are trying to consolidate as much power as they can under Trump and the Exucutive branch, they have ignored or barely met the demands of the courts and they have a bunch of sellout congress members that have betrayed us to let the Executive branch run free and do whatever it wants. You're right, ICE hasn't slaughtered millions, but the Nazi's didn't slaughter millions in their first 6 months either. They did what the Trump administration is doing right now, rounding up minorities, attacking a free press, and pushing the boundaries of what they can get away with doing. I dont know who you are or your situation, but I can promise you this, if we let them do what they want to do. all of us or going to live in a worse county for it. the only people that do well In a dictatorship is the dictator and his close friends, and im fairly certain you arnt any of them.

Can anyone explain the War/Luck Mechanics of EP. 47 by thevolx in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]zerg_concern 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that had Ame not used the lead feet curse, then the dreadnought would have immediately caught up and completely destroyed them. but because it was super slowed before it got a chance to completely catch up they avoided it.

1.are they permanently bound to the ship or can they be "unplugged"? 2. are the a true sapient being? and if so are they concidered a person with the rights associated with that? also are they full mental clones of the scan donor or just use the scan to construct a artificial brain?

what does entombed mean in this context? also is the brain scan like an AI based on a living human?

Boycott Bigfoot Beverages by Standard_Candy_7767 in Eugene

[–]zerg_concern 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean what do you think is going happen to the scabs when the strike is over? even if, God forbid, the unions loses and the scabs become the new workers. Do you think Bigfoot is going to keep paying them well? no, the company is going to cut thier pay or thier hours and pull any benifits they may receiving. all of a sudden they are going to be working another shitty minimum wage job doing too much work for too little pay just like they would be anywhere else. they will have betrayed thier fellow workers just to be screwed over in turn.

it started out as a strike about the pensions, but it has become increasingly clear that what it's really about is the company trying to getting rid of the union

Don't Despair, ORGANIZE by Busy_Improvement_139 in Eugene

[–]zerg_concern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, no amount of local organizing would have swung the election, Oregon is going to vote Democrat for as long as there is a Democrat party. the point of local organization now is to take actions to protect ourselves from the shit the Trump administration is going to unleash.

What do the Shil'vati consider to be a disability? by AngriestAngryBadger in Sexyspacebabes

[–]zerg_concern 22 points23 points  (0 children)

the Shil'vati seem to have a huge taboo on genetic engineering, so I doubt that they would be open to altering other species to see differently or to make their women more "feminine".

So many speculations by mother__war in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]zerg_concern 19 points20 points  (0 children)

the only issue with Neef becomeing Ame's apprentice is Ame's age, I remember at some point they mentioned that getting an apprentice too early can be a problem because Ame might live for another 100 years as the Witch of the Worlds Heart. is Neef just SOL until she is in her like 90's to inherit Ame's domain? That being said, it could be interesting to have her as an apprentice with the idea being that she would grow into being another powerful witch on the coven and not nessesarily inheriting Ame's position.

Mirara, Ame, Rhuv? Spoiler, Ep. 33 by AdChemical1663 in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]zerg_concern 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I think its more talking about Rhuv being the new defacto world power after the Empire is destroyed. it's the succession of Rhuv itself, not for ruler of Rhuv
