Could it be...greed?

Wow, that's literally "Hang-them-from-a-gallows" treason. I wonder if anyone will even get a wrist-slap.

If this doesn't get hammered to hell, we're even more fucked than we are now.

The article: Rural people aren't just racist, homophobic assholes - they're struggling with apocalyptic economic destruction, constant discrimination and hatred, and have fallen through the cracks of society while society stomps on their face.

The comments: RURAL PEOPLE ARE BAD, FUCK RURALS

I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them read the article...

I will say, though, that as much as rural people get fucked out of their votes in most situations, they are vastly over-represented in others. For example, each vote in the electoral college for California represents 703,000 people. In Montana, on the other hand, each electoral vote represents closer to 250,000 people. There's a strong sense among city dwellers that the rural folk are dragging the entire country into hell just because they're suffering under capitalism - and they aren't wrong, in some sense. America's inconsistent, patchwork electoral system definitely contributes greatly to the urban / rural conflict.

Being an ass

For real. This post has big "I have regrets and/or fears that I missed out on my younger life, and the only way to not be afraid is to invalidate other people's choices" energy. Every life and every combination of experiences produces a unique piece of art. OP, your life is valid and worthwhile - you don't have to tear other people down for that to be the case.

Duh. But tell me again about how it was totally about PlAgIaRiSM

Do you get immediate medical treatment after, and is it free?

TBF part of this is because skill checks are weirdly broken depending on the DM. Either the rogue makes the check for the whole party, so two rogues are competing, or everyone has to make their own checks and the rogues don't help the party. Rogues worry more about skill checks than barbarians on average because that was their original role.

Some way to have multiple people contribute to skill checks would be great.

Brain's face says it all. "I fucked it up so I guess I'll never do any of this again."

I agree with your point, especially "Educated feminists know that poor mental health for men only hurt their situation," but it's really frustrating to be told "This isn't real feminism" when the harm misandrists do is very real. It feels like there's a double standard - when men talk about the problems misguided or undereducated feminists cause, they're told to be specific in their language and not to generalize. In the same breath, people who at minimum appropriate the feminist banner do a lot of generalization about men. You see it all over this site and in pop feminist circles, and being told "Well you can't criticize feminism just because some people do it badly" leads to a lot of resentment.

It also doesn't feel fair to say "Well they were being vague". A lot of the harm perpetuated by patriarchy, misandry and other elements in society is amorphous. A lot of people don't have an acute moment of pain - they internalize things over time, or have lots of small incidents. Getting hurt and being told to man up, being told that men don't belong in queer spaces, or that all men are pigs.

I could be wrong, but I think the point that @weeeeum was making is that by the point you retire, your body and mind are so wrecked from having been overworked for 30+ years that 'just go outside' is an agonizing prospect. Yeah, if you make it to that point and can still go outside and do fun stuff then great. But if you retire at 65, are male, and American, then you're retiring at the average healthy life expectancy for your group and on average have about a decade of declining health to 'look forward to'.

Looks like your spoilers aren't working - spoilers on lemmy are three : on either side of the spoiler.

Practical Engineering is such a good channel. I feel like Grady strikes a really good balance of high enough production value that it doesn't get in the way of paying attention, while still being extremely educational.

I agree with 90% of what you say - the only point I disagree on is that Palworld doesn't "Yes, but" the ethical controversy. The entire point of Palworld is that catching Pals and using them as slave labor is unethical. That's why you can butcher them, sell them for profit, force them to work long hours until they go insane, etc. You can literally put their corpses on a stick as a decoration. Palworld doesn't pretend that pal slavery is ethical the way that Pokemon pretends that pokemon slavery is ethical, and that's part of what sets it apart from Pokemon.

I also don't necessarily agree that the FPA is undermined by fighting against Pals and occasionally having them in cages. Fighting against pals is heavily established in the lore to be necessary - the equivalent of trying not to be mauled by a bear while traveling through an area where there's vastly more bears than people. They can support the idea that Pals shouldn't be enslaved, while also needing to not be mauled to death in order to achieve that goal. Having Pals in cages is tougher to explain, but a diary entry about how the FPA sometimes relocates Pals in order to repopulate areas cleared out by trainers, or how they sometimes have to remove individuals that have gotten too aggressive after negative interactions with humans, would solve the problem in an interesting way while giving them a bit of nuance.

Is this a mod?

Alternative answer: Yeah, so?

All media is informed by other media. All media copies parts of other media, often en masse. There's nothing wrong with incremental improvements.
