  • Woah woah woah, this about chemtrails? I can't believe I'm even surprised, really, but how can these idiots be focused on this rather then literally any of the actual issues that people are facing right now?

    That's a rhetorical question, I already known the answer is they want to handwave away real issues and only focus on the theater issues they themselves create to generate outrage.

    But I mean, they want to outlaw the imaginary chemtrails? Didn't have that on my apocalyptic bingo card.

  • I loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, it was my intro to the series and still one of my favs. I woild also recommend something a little more sandbox, like Minecraft or Lightyear Frontier, just for the sheer time sink these games can be. Farming and building can make you lose track of hours at a time, great for travel.

    I could also recommend something like Be my Hoard. Trying to get over an hour on a run is a fun way to burn an hour, if you like rouge-lite styles.

    If you like driving, something like American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator is another great time sink.

  • The issue some of us take with that is no, we did not all decide we needed more racism and hate. In fact, more and more evidence is being found that shows the entire thing was rigged, and the true majority decision was not acknowledged by the folks who had mostly been behind the scenes before.

  • Yeah, not surprised at the Orange Blunder finding a way to bring back slavery. Oh his cronies will think up a different name for it, but soon these poor people will be segregated and counted as ⅗ of a person for purposes of population counting when drawing up political districts.

    At this rate we are going to end up with Civil War 2 Electric Boogaloo before Christmas...

    Edit: Correction of fractions, the historical amount was ⅗, not ⅕.

  • Beat Saber will remain available to purchase via PS Store for the foreseeable future and players will continue to have access to content that they purchased. All songs and music packs released prior to June 18 will be playable, but PS5 and PS4 owners won’t be able to play any new content released after this date.

    Beat Saber will continue to be updated on Steam, however, which many players are taking as a sign that PSVR, PSVR2 support is on its last leg.

  • Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.

     
        
    Net               X
    ------    =    ------
    Gross            100
    
    
    (GrossX) = (Net × 100)
    
    GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X
    
    Example;
    
    200             X
    ------    =   -------
    250            100
    
    Step A
    200 × 100 = 20000
    
    Now 250X = 20000
    
    Step B
    20000÷250=80
    
    Therefore X=80
    Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.
    
      

    It's also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.

  • The statistical inclusion of fascists in the mention of voluntary military recruits absolutely is reality, having spoken with the family I have who are currently serving, who are seeing and speaking with the new recruits coming in to the armed forces. It's a topic of discussion at family functions. You trying to discredit my point of view by attacking my motivation is a poor but recognized debate tactic. My personal view of the military is not a factor in my original statement anyway. Do try to stay on the point, even of you fail to properly read and understand the statement. I have great respect for the people who serve the country through inclusion in the armed forces, and their willingness to put themselves in the way of harm to provide a better life for the people that are not.

    As for your second argument, the word nazi is not some slur I'm using against a group I don't like, it's a very real state of political view that absolutely survives and arguably thrives in many places in the U.S. I may not use the term 'Neo-Nazi' to discriminate between past and present, but that doesn’t lessen the justification for the application of that label to those who espouse the same beliefs as historical Nazism. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, being loose in my use of the word Nazi. I am refusing to allow apologists to discourage the use of a term that rightfully brings to mind the full impact of the beliefs held by those to whom the term Nazi applies to. I was taught by my grandfather what a Nazi is and why men of character cannot accept such views to become enshrined in the hearts or heads of those around him.

  • I didn't call a soldier a nazi, I said that Nazis wanted to play soldier and do Nazi shit. The reality is that recruitment is up, and part of that is going to be white fascist leaning boys who want to have a gun and be told to use it.

    I have family in every branch of the military, and have heard the stories from them directly of meeting up with far too many of these kinds of people.

    I also had family who fought the nazis, we visited his grave this past memorial day at a national cemetery.

    I know exactly what I said, and what kind of people are currently in power in the USA.

  • Friend, your guild idea already exists. It's just called a Union in the current day. Many trades already operate this way, from the Carpenters Union to the Iron Workers Union. There's even a Teamsters Union. The different name doesn't change the work they do. White- collar hand much less representation with collective solidarity, but that can be fixed by starting a Union at your local work place. I won't tell anyone it's easy, but it's worth putting in the work. A great example is the Starbucks unions that have popped up in the last few years. The reason you don't see more unions is because employers are terrified of them, and want to continue to freely exploit the workforce through fear.

  • While I agree with getting rid of at-will policies, I disagree with one part of your idea. Why would I ever want to indenture myself to 5 years with the same employer? How would unions be handled? How about strikes? What about health insurance benefits?

    Frankly, unions already solve alot of the problems with at-will employment, and should be protected by law rather then systemically stripped away.
