I mean, kind of, but the robber is the root cause. They have agency and choose to rob. If it was flood protection, yeah, can’t blame the water.
The Republicans deserve the bulk of the blame


If I leave my door open and someone robs me, that’s a little bit my fault. But it’s a lot the robber’s fault.
The Republicans have agency. They choose to be human shaped trash bags. They deserve the majority of the blame and scorn. They are the worst people on earth.


I don’t think laws mean anything anymore. There are too many bad faith (pun intended) people in positions of power.


There’s that bit in Baldur’s gate 2 where some NPCs decide they can take you on, die, and then reload the game.


If ww3 happens to the tune of the US collapsing, there’s good odds it ends in a nuclear wasteland. There are too many religious nut jobs in power that probably believe nuking new York City means Jesus will come back or something.


The bullets don’t have to be silver. The GOP aren’t werewolves.


It’s like when people say they hate obamacare but they love the ACA. They don’t know what they’re talking about, but they have a well worn heuristic of “what does my in-group say?”
Or it’s like that spongebob meme with patrick and the wallet
“So you want workers to be treated with respect” : “Yep”
“And they should be paid a fair wage for their work”: “Sounds good to me.”
“And vital services like health care should be provided to everyone” : “Of course”
“So you’ll vote for the left wing candidate” : “No, I don’t like left wing policies”


“divisive” is such a stupid attack. It has no substance. Sometimes people are divided for good reasons!
Probably max out all skills by spending time in appropriate settings. If I can learn magic as per, say, mage the awakening, then I’m doing that as well.
Then I’m coming back here and fixing the world with extensive application of five point Mind and Fate magics.


i did some volunteering for zohran. Most of the people I talked to were very enthusiastic about him. I’m cautiously optimistic


For some reason all I could see was the Ork in work and was trying to figure out how orks feel about wealth inequality. Then I figured it out


How new is your computer?
I found Pop!_OS worked out of the box fine on my new desktop.
Mint had problems, but worked fine on my older computers.
Back up any important software (like, on a separate drive or online). Get a couple flash drives. Try out mint, popos, bazzite. They’re all free so it doesn’t matter that much if you don’t like one.
I don’t recommend trying to dual boot on one drive because windows is a rude room mate.


I think it would be pretty funny if jesus did return and cast all these rich assholes into the lake of fire. Because they fucking deserve it.


I’m pretty sure Reagan’s administration decided to just stop enforcing anti monopoly stuff


One of the problems is some poor people (eg: many whites) would rather die than other poor people (eg: black folks) get anything at all.


Early voting is open in NYC. Voting isn’t the only thing you should do, but it’s fast and easy. No line at my polling place down the street.
It’s hard to say. I think too much can lead to the kid not appreciating how much things cost, or how hard it is for other people.
My parents paid for most of my education, and that made a big difference. I entered adulthood without massive debt. (Low five figures seems low compared to many of my peers, anyway. USA! USA!)
Generational wealth is powerful. Many of today’s richest people became super wealthy because their parents paid for stuff when they were getting started.
I think the most important question is if your kid is going to be a kind and decent person, or a scumbag who says “I earned all of this! no one gave me a handout” whild voting to gut aid programs.
You shouldn’t be allowed to do such environmentally destructive nonsense as running a “bitcoin mine”.
