You want the Outer Wilds. NOT Outer Worlds. That’s Bethesda trash.

Always

The fuck he didn’t. Look up Biden back in 2001 and 2002 on the senate floor screaming about how Iraq had nukes totally frfr pinky sware on me mum. That fucking clown couldn’t gobble dick cheney’s balls fast enough.

Is Dana white fuckin dudes now?

I’ve been running my own garden for three years now on a community plot. I don’t ask anyone to work for me, and I don’t pay anyone. I pick what I want and everyone else does the same. Sometimes they help, sometimes they don’t. It doesn’t change anything for me.

I can’t fix your busted local economy for you. I do know that paying $30/hr will get a lot of people out doing something they don’t necessarily like, even if they have to drive for it. Even in a place with ridiculous cost of living like California.

I knew guys who left their house at 1 in the morning to be 120 miles away for the start of work at 4. I asked one of them why they did it. They said “Where we live, you either go out and get a real job, or you work in the fields”. It’s not even about the money. It’s mostly about the benefits. How many farmers offer medical, paid holiday, or sick pay?

These guys worked 10s and 12s every day. They work hard, and they want that work to mean more for them than someone else’s profit. That’s ALL you are offering.

You’re not gaslighting anyone into thinking $17 an hour is worth much of anything. What the fuck does “some farmers have tried raising the pay to attract more workers, it rarely works” mean?? Oh no, farms are paying more, better not work there. Are you retarded? You don’t see rednecks passing up oilfield work because it’s out in the middle of nowhere. Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the six figure paychecks those jobs have. Nope. Hell, I bet if you dropped their pay to $17 an hour, every roughneck in the field would sprint as fast as they could over to thank you personally. What a fuckin genius idea.

Don’t worry brother the last 4 are actually 4644 you can call them now

There is no “international authority”. It’s all big stick politics out there. It’s like trying to go after a corporation in the US. The “punishments” when they break the law are fines, if that, and any admonishment not to fuck over the same person in the same way again.

Think about your boss shorting you $100. The “legal” process involves YEARS of waiting for a court date, a labor code interpreted heavily in favor of the employer, and at the end of the day, they get fines and maybe have to pay back what you rightfully earned in the first place.

Now think about what happens when you steal $100 from work. Immediate police involvement, possible arrest, absolute legal consequences even if you’re cleared years later, the presumption of guilt from everyone in society.

It’s even worse on a political stage. Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it’s broken. Everyone just waits around until the collective consciousness supports some sort of social consequence on the offender in question. That’s not even tying race or religion into the mix, which Israel loves to twist up into their particular brand of nationalism.

The civil world is simply too polite to call them out for all their shit. It’s a whole world full of chickenshit and I am tired of the stink.

Damn you beat me by 14 hours. Harley Poe has been a favorite of mine for years

No, as a native American, i can confirm you all suck and should leave.

Edit for clarification: I mean all settlers and their descendants. If you aren’t first nation, you’re in the wrong nation.

Funnily enough, ignorance is a valid excuse here. You can’t be expected to investigate the companies behind every single product you buy or use in the day to day, but that’s not what were talking about here.

We’re talking about Brandon Sanderson, specifically, and how his tithes to the Mormon church significantly contribute to the open oppression and abuse of LGBTQIA+ communities. You, buying your mistborn and stormlight archive books, are DIRECTLY supporting that behavior.

Every time he tithes to that house of abuse and oppression, he IS actively doing something bad. Is that not enough for you?

Because there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the franchise as long as you aren’t supporting it.

Books are available secondhand. Games and movies can be pirated. It doesn’t cost anything to talk about a shared interest with friends.

Just don’t give them money. Don’t go to their theme parks. Don’t buy the merchandise.

You can like a thing and still make a conscious effort not to support the creator. You just have to be clear about the why if anyone asks you about it.

I made the same decision with Brandon Sanderson and his fuckin fanclub takes it extremely personally when I point out how problematic he is as an author.

Yes, his writing is good. Yes, his writing is remarkably inclusive with regards to sexual orientation, disability, and mental illness.

However, Brandon is a Mormon first and foremost, and actively tithes to his church. That means a significant percentage of ALL Dragonsteel profits go directly towards the suppression and disenfranchisement of LGBTQ+ programs, sex education, and effective mental health services.

He might write a good story, but his IRL politics are repugnant.

Technically correct, but definitely missing context. I picked it up watching FilmThePoliceLA Sunday when he was talking to people around the waymos before thy were set on fire.

It’s worse than that. The waymos were originally ordered by protesters wishing to leave the area. Sheriff didn’t like that, so they asked waymo directly to lock down the cars so they couldn’t be used to “flee the area”. Waymo complied and stranded people in the middle of this mess, and the crowd decided to help them out and express their displeasure at waymo for capitulation to the gestapo. I hope whatever insurance waymo has denies all their claims and forces them to eat the loss.

Other commenter said NMS, I confused it with this one thinking they were talking about the same thing.

Agreed. $40? Id think about it and probably wait for a sale anyways. $80 is just laughable and completely removes any temptation i had to check it out.
