Genocide isn't a viable choice.

It's time for the lesser evil to choose no evil for once.

Everyone's upset about the vegan ice cream voters not voting for regular ice cream.

No one is upset at the regular ice cream people for being unwilling to vote for a vegan ice cream place because their choice is default in their mind.

Both sides are holding each other hostage. One has a moral reason and the other just doesn't want to compromise.

And yet.

Sounds like capitalism has failed then at that point. Seize the means brother.

And to add to it. Fun fact, literally all studies of economic impacts of immigrants show they are a boost to the nation they move to and not a burden. You treat it as a given that a person not currently in their nation of origin puts stress on that system beyond what they added to it.

That is fantasy driven by very racist presumptions supported by no facts, only feelings.

You don't want to help people. You want to exclude people from the help.

That's just racism

That's saying a grilled cheese wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have cheese. At that point it ain't a grilled cheese anymore so why even try to defend it in the first place? Just eat some god damn bread

Action; became cop. Is bad. Yup, all lights green here.

You don't see cops as the enforcement of capital with a side gig of solving crime. He does. Just because the show doesn't bother to dive into that aspect doesn't mean it's an invalid point especially if we are just talking about "goodness".

Here's a better way to put it. Light would view the FBI agents as good guys due to his general views of law enforcement in general so targeting them is light showing that what he thinks is good in the world is irrelevant to his choices.

Instead now we are arguing ideology because you don't understand perspective in literature. Womp womp and acab

 
 

We were streaming a lil "end of the year awards" and toast walked in. She is not supposed to be upstairs so ran the moment she saw we noticed her. https://www.twitch.tv/smilingsolaris

 

I added the trait BUT STILL! Settled in Trout's Mistake Forest and on spawn there is a RANDOMLY GENERATED WILD MAN NAMED TROUT. He is in the colony now. You can come revel in his mistakes on stream as well. https://www.twitch.tv/smilingsolaris

 

Heyo, For anyone who want's I am streaming the Generations II modpack on twitch. That's where the dino hat came from, a T-Rex attacked the colony and surprisingly no one died (it was injured after munching on some more advanced visitors)

So I want to say that I have tried to get into FFXIV many many times over a few years. I always got bounced off by how dense the dialogue is and how long it was taking to get anywhere and anything done. I would quit and come back in a few months to try again at my friends behest. The amount of times I've had to stop and google a new word the dialogue said. lol.

But I didn't want to start skipping dialogue and cutscenes and whatnot cause then what am I even playing for? So I took my time, played when I wanted and slowly made it through ARR over the course of 2 years.

And by god was it worth it. By the end I felt I really understood this world, and its people and politics. I started seeing callbacks, referencing previous quests that I had just almost forgot about. I cried when the thing that would be spoilers to talk about happened at the end of ARR. I have become attached to my grand companies and my city.

My wife plays too but they got socially anxious about all the dungeons so now they spend all their time in the golden saucer running fates. I love that they are around.

The community on Farie as well has been amazing. I have not a single bad experience. I play tank for the record and come from WoW so when I fucked up I expected straight vitriol. But never once did I ever experience any kinda toxicity whatsoever. One time I was fiddling with my settings before a dungeon labeled (hard) and accidently left battle effects on full. I load into the dungeon and my eyes glaze over with the amount of stuff flying around the screen so i ask the crew to stop and let me turn it down. They do but the healer immediately just leaves the party. The other two commiserated with me and stuck around waiting for the replacement rather than abandoning the party as well. And the new healer was cool! fun guy in the chat!

I just wanted to share this with yall. It's the best MMO experience I've ever had and I cant wait to actually be doing the MMO stuff I love like hard AF raids and endgame stuff. But i will not rush the expansions. I will continue taking it at the pace that i feel comfortable with and only hope i outpace the release of new content. I'll catch up eventually.

 

This was in Lemmy world politics.

 

Just like the bachelor to shove some Latin in the middle of important information.
