The funniest part is Cubans have better medical care than the American working class, including completely novel vaccines that have existed for decades that America doesn’t let its citizens have lmao

Maybe I am missing something - you need their labor to produce value, yet you think they don’t deserve even a small stake in the success of the business?

Is this not exploitation? Why do you assume they just get to take 50% of your business for being hired?

It sounds like you are concocting a scenario which assumes an idealized socialist/communist society and then projecting your own capitalistic desires onto it.

Isn’t that a little incongruent?

It’s objectively safer to have them on during the day, assuming they are properly adjusted.

The problem is cars in the US now come stock with blinding washed out misadjusted poorly designed headlights because if other people are going to blind you, why would you buy a car that doesn’t blind them back?

I fucking hate this country.

A spaceship, 15,000 years from now:

“This civilization confuses me. Even with their primitive compute engines, they could easily have simulated their own society to identify the glaring flaws preventing the advance of their civilization. It would have been trivial to jump multiple decimals in civilization type.”

“They did see the flaws. The model collapsed in every single simulation on record.”

“Then why did they continue living like this?”

“Who knows. They’re long gone now.”

It depends what you’re looking for. If you don’t care about story and community, you can purchase a boost right to the endgame (or I guess, start-game of this expansion) and start playing the latest content almost immediately. It’s really not a hard game even at the 2nd hardest content tier. I could regularly out-DPS the DPS players as a healer in pugs.

However, FF14 also famously has some of the best storytelling and communities in the genre. Even catching up to Stormblood would take hundreds of hours and there are like 3 new expansions since then.

Personally the appeal to me was the immersion, working through the story from the start, making bonds and connections with other players and your guild. This takes time and if you have it, the game will show you plenty to do.

La Niña take my energy 🙏

No word on the good he’s done so far (yes there is bad but the good exists too), no word on trying to stop Trump, just straight up threatening your voter base.

I’m sure glad the DNC and their PACs have learned their lesson from 2016.

Oh so now y’all care about standing? Like the case they took about hypothetical damages to a company, that stated they have no interest in pursuing charges, brought to court by an unrelated third party?

What a pathetic attempt to save face. They know it’s already illegal in their territory and blue states would never play ball anyway.

It is genuinely hilarious to see these demons use the tired old propaganda. I would say it doesn’t work anymore, but…

And that’s a fair assessment as well. It is a scapegoat to say those folks don’t support other leftist policies.

However I must disagree that my conclusion was wild.

My train of thought is, people say they support making peoples lives better and implementing policies proven to work and be more cost effective.

When it comes time to ‘nut up’ and do it, their chosen representatives roll over and compromise and refuse to use the same governing tools used against them to stop the rise of fascism.

Republicans famously grind the country to a halt with a minority. It’s their whole shtick, and yet they sail through these fascist policies nationwide with no fighting back from the Feds.

Is it truly that like minded when the purpose of a system is what it does, and my fellow patriots choose the continued decline of society driven by capitalism?

This, I believe, is the source of this leftist’s anger. Open denial of genocide by party leaders, while capital interests make life shittier literally every day, and no way out between “shit choice” and “literal fascist”.

I have some reservations (need to research her more) as she was relatively progressive in an American context it seems.

If anyone has more starting points for my research, I am absolutely open.

However, for the moment she’s a “NO” from me. Even at the most forgiving judgements, it seems she sent away a whole bunch of poor people and did nothing about the system that is driving them to crime.

Ah also her weird racism, nepotism, and stances on LGBT issues. Who refers to art in their home by the ethnicity of the artist???

I find it interesting how many self identified leftists are cheering and welcoming a racist and corrupt cop as president of the United States.

Like, this isn’t even about the whole “anyone but trump” or “vote 3rd party” war.

The crowd claiming to be the left are just straight up cheering for cops.

Fascinating how I see the left continually blamed for not meeting Dems in the middle with that 1930s Germany copypasta and yet it’s only one of them constantly shifting right.

Since apparently a rabid mob comes up every time someone touches this topic, yes I understand what’s at stake and will be voting accordingly.

I’m sure all these self proclaimed leftists will be there to advocate for the local socialist parties after we secure the presidency right? …right?

I see these going for $30 at Macys, Walmart, and Nordstrom Rack USA websites right now in multiple styles.

You can also try asking the Costco manager if they will be reordering the SKU, couldn’t hurt lol.
