And what problems would you have them solving? There are billions of us, we can have some people handling the less intense stuff. Yea, if there was one guy scrambling to fix the world that’s a weird place to start but that is so, so far from the reality of the situation.
This helped people and that is a good thing.
So people being able to find hundreds of dollars of lost personal items is a bad thing? Have you ever been happy?

“Never interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake.”
I’m not trying to imply that beduins are the enemy, more that insanely stupid people are and since I don’t wanna get into eugenics, well, this is all I got.
Exactly! I do want to do a durge run as my second playthrough but you damn well know I’m going to take ‘em in the “overcome your evil nature” route.
Dude even Gortash/Orin/Ketheric are all at odds with eachother and they have a very clear, shared goal in mind. Your evil character is just a crazy person who wants a bunch of power for themselves without even having the dead three as a common connection to the other characters so yea, it’s gunna be real fuckin’ hard to make friends. For sure you’re gunna have people with you who you simply had to buy out and with whom you can’t build meaningful relationships.
I could see maybe an ending where you force the three chief assholes to work together but to help you undo their mess. It would be a lot of work for something not many would even bother with and I’m doubtful you’d get them as companions or be able to have a meaningful relationship with them in such a short time.
Anyway, the game isn’t pigeonholing you so much as reality is. Being self-centered is an inherently dead-end way to live in so many ways and the loss of friends and intimacy is a big part of that.
Bro just let them be upset. These people suck, the people enabling them suck, the general fact that it’s a dumbass religious excuse sucks, and the fact that this is completely “normal” for our species extra sucks. Not 100 years ago the very recent ancestors of Israeli Jews were super prosecuted and victims of a holocaust and now it’s 2025 and…they’ve learned absolutely nothing from that experience and are trying to wipe out an entire ethnic group.
It’s like, if you can’t expect genocide victims to understand that genocide is beyond reproach then where does that leave the rest of this place?
Yea same. Good thing that isn’t how it works at all. Also what, some water spray is worse than smearing poop around? Like, ok buddy.
It’s still pretty fucking bold to act like Artikal’s was some kind of fuckin’ unique masterpiece. Absolutely they sound pretty damn on the nose for just that chorus but holy crap, it’s not Dua Lipa’s fault(or whoever wrote the song) she took that lazy chorus idea and made it far better(and yes, I also think Levitating isn’t exactly a masterpiece either). Anyone who’s played an instrument with any amount of skill will come up with that rhythm and progression on their own at some point.
I don’t wanna be out here defending celebrities but from a musical creativity standpoint they may as well be suing because she used the same time signature.
Note: I couldn’t even find “Live Your Life” on Apple Music, only Youtube, and typing in just “Live Your Life” without the band name shows a, frankly awful, T.I./Rhianna song.
We can also add: “because of increased communication, women are feeling more confident about ignoring all the shitty men who can’t clear even the lowest bar.”
Seriously, absolutely wild how low the standards are right now and how so many people still can’t hack it. Love is love, people will marry and even have kids with someone they really care for ni matter the situation but if they can’t find anyone who can handle a baseline level of respect for their personhood and autonomy, well, they certainly aren’t gunna be getting married or having kids.
I mean, I would hope insurance doesn’t need to pay me. That imply I’ve involved in an accident or had my stuff stolen. Even a not for profit insurance company would operate like that. I can afford $100/mo but I cannot afford to replace not only my car but the car or property of whatever I may be found at fault for hitting(and if I get hit, can that person afford to pay me?). If I got into an accident, especially if I were younger, how would I replace my $5,000 car and the $70k BMW I just hit? What if my kid set my house on fire or what if fire leapt from my neighbour’s house to mine?
That said, it’s absolutely true that system is bloated to an absolutely disgusting level and its shocking lack of regulation for, as you say, being legally required is pitiful. It deplorable that people need to fight to get payouts sometimes and how the US uses it for healthcare is just hellish. It’s also true that the capitalist/libertarian ideal of insurance only really works if people are paid adequately but both those systems do fuck all, on purpose, to keep people’s financial security safe.
In Québec, liability is paid for by the province so our car insurance is a lot cheaper and regular insurance only needs to cover the physical property, so that’s nice. It’s still got it’s problems I’m sure, but it’s a step in the right direction.
“Just because they disagree with the politics” look we can say what we want about the burning Teslas part this isn’t a “little disagreement”. Musk’s a full-blown turbo-Nazi and in and in Germany, where this happened, he’s pouring money into the AFD which is essentially just the return of a German Nazi party. Don’t water it down.
ICE cars are filled with gasoline and function by blowing it up, the risk is clear. EVs should not be catching fire.
Also yea, I want people to use public transportation, actually. And I want villages to return, not these horrendous sprawling “small towns” where, despite having less stuff than my Montréal neighbourhood, it’s a huge pain to get anywhere and you need a car at least simply because too many jobs that could be remote aren’t.
At some point you have to draw a line, and the car sold by the guy who’s directly helping to destroy the US, helping the AFD in Germany get more power, and cutting aid to so many other countries which will lead to millions of deaths is a pretty fucking easy line to draw. Besides, as the saying goes, “electric cars aren’t here to save the planet, they’re here to save cars” so take public transit and fight for it if you don’t have it(also this is in Germany and Europe generally has more options than the backwater that is the US).
There are plenty of other options that aren’t so boldly rotten as Tesla, too. People not wanting even the slightest inconvenience is how we get into these messes and it’s time to buck up and deal with it.
Civilized countries require insurance so that victims aren’t at fault and on the hook, and better ones will even provide it(the province of Québec does the liability portion, for example).
No, that makes sense. I just missed him aswell/only had a couple years of it and it’s definitely nice to be able to look back on it instead of live it.
And yea, PP was his right-hand guy or whatever during that time and has always been a real douche. He didn’t grow into a conservative, he’s always been that guy. Sequels are so often clunkier exaggerations to capitalize off previous success, instead of doing their own things, and if PP gets in that’s what we’re gunna be dealing with.
Don’t forget hiding in a Brazilian bathroom because he didn’t get to be a special boy for no reason!
Well yea but that’s a low fuckin’ bar.
Also much of what he’s asking for is either something that’s being taken care of or straight-up isn’t a real problem.
Why wait? Cops are already shooting rubber bullets at journalists during protests and doing all kinds of illegal things to them for the crime of-well there is no crime, actually, except for what’s being committed by the cops.
