I live in Florida, surrounded by red and I’m from a red state/area. To be clear, I think it’s PERFECTLY VALID to hold the thought “my money and stuff are mine and I should have a say who gets to use it”. And to your point about democrats: yeah that’s effectively what I mean. Universal health care and paying for college are publicly funded from…other people’s money. Most Republicans I’ve talked to wish we had either or both, but balk when taxes are raised. They would rather be the ones to decide who gets a portion of their paycheck from an understandable hesitancy to have the government be the one to decide who gets the money. Republicans see that prudence as necessary, and most democrats I know see that as an unwillingness to contribute to the “greater good”.

I think the defining difference is whether that sharing extends to just friends and family, or if it becomes more egalitarian and extends to everyone. From my experience, Republicans tend to stop at the former, and Democrats tend to stop at the latter. There is also usually differences in what they’re willing to share to both parties, namely money.

It’s obtuse because it’s not like another one is going to crop up in the same town in the same day to give the workers jobs, nor is it going to solve the issue of regulating the industry properly. The people enforcing the policies need teeth, and those teeth should be able to bite at the people causing these conditions. Places get like this because 3rd party inspection is underfunded and underpowered. Shutting a place down means it cuts into profits while potentially cutting off workers’ incomes. It doesn’t mean the owners or board get significantly impacted.

Assuming you aren’t being purposefully obtuse, the answer is to make them safe and suitable environments for people to work in. You can figure out a way to punish the company who is creating these conditions, but for the time being, the answer is to make them reasonable to work in.

No. They’re saying that slaughter houses don’t appear to be going away in the near future since there is a still a fervent demand for meat, so the answer of “just shut them down” isn’t a valid solution yet. They should be removed of human cruelty until we can fully remove them.

The link is to a piped video. The link is named after whatever the original hyperlink used. If it was labeled “butt penis” the piped bot would have a link “butt penis” as well.

It also helps the slave business owners who need more workers to work in their sweatshops business. Less workers means we have to pay a reasonable wage won’t have enough workers.

I preface this by saying I’m far from an expert in either thing, but you can compare that same logic to AI and it doesn’t hand-wave the worry surrounding either. We’ve historically done a really good job of doing our best to understand certain technologies without really grasping the consequences without some hindsight. I bring up AI, because I think most people can understand the implicit possibilities that come along with the double ended sword that it is. I’m for GMO’s, but the worry isn’t the lab variant. The worry is what introducing something catastrophic into the wild to solve another issue we caused could actually cause. It would be ironic and on brand considering I’m pretty sure plastic was seen as an environmentally friendly alternative at one point.

I didn’t even know they tested for DHMO. I thought it was something they noticed was so prevalent at autopsy, they just assumed it was naturally present. It’s nice to see the awareness efforts have not been all for not.

I am a human, hear me rar.

Yeasts are eukayotes part of the fungal kingdom you dolt. Although looking at the rest of your comments in this thread, it’s clear you’re just acting in bad faith for some reason.

Overall it seemed extremely clear they want people doing nightmare as soon as it’s available, and helltide/legions otherwise. They very clearly didn’t like the old dungeon leveling meta, and they apprently thought people were leveling too quickly and easily.

On the topic of wispers, I don’t understand why they removed sigil dust and then buffed the exp bonus. You’d think they’d want to give sigil dust so people could grind wispers during overworld stuff and then go do nightmare content, so this overall just seems like another push to just to NM dungeons.

As far as class stuff, I leveled as a minion necro and switched to bone spear. I enjoy the minion buffs, as I struggled with going into WT3, and the bone spear centric nerfs don’t seem buld breaking.

Overall, their vision seems clear: level in nightmare dungeons at your appropriate difficulty level, but not too quickly or easily. Weird response imo.

It’s funny that I never considered it, but why would they replace the low wage workers? Capitalism would care most about replacing the high wage workers (except for the CEO and other board members. They obviously are worth every penny and are irreplaceable with ai. ~signed CEO)
