  • Just played it for the first time the other day, I thought it was a great campaign, although not as good as mw2 which is the goat. The part where the airplane breaks in half while you’re still in it is amazing. Got a great deal too, I bought it at the used game store for $5.

  • I think that’s wrong. Slavery existed because the government allowed it. If you were a farmer and you could afford slaves but didn’t have any, you wouldn’t be competitive with other farmers who had slaves. You were encentivized to do it. But then ol Abe did an amendment and a war, and then once it’s illegal you aren’t pressured to be terrible. You’re off the hook. It was the amendment and the war that ended slavery, not people voluntarily doing anything.

    It’s literally why we have laws. If people would just do the right thing otherwise, we wouldn’t need them.

  • Wasn’t my idea at first either, but then its hard to say no to free money.

    I agree the system is wrong and bad, but we are all living in it. I decided I’m not going to make choices against my own best interest. Hard to compete with people who play by fewer rules than you, so giving myself artificial rules would certainly limit my happiness/wellbeing/etc.

    Anyways we all “harvest” money from others in some way or other, either directly or indirectly. Someone working at a restaurant harvests other peoples wages when they want a hamburger. The only way it’s different is that housing is scarce because you can’t build any more in most places where people want to live, but hamburgers are easily obtainable.

  • There are so many people who love cops and hate Israel, I don’t know what you’re talking about OP.

    Personally I’m on team acab but I think israel has a right to go after hamas since they did a terrorism. That doesn’t mean they should kill innocent people; but on the other hand, look at how many German civilians were bombed to death in world war 2; it’s how war works.

    A country’s responsibility is to their own people first, almost always at the expense of foreign people. In the case of Israel, it may be that their security is won at the expense of the Palestinians from whom they stole their land. So they are acting in the interest of Israelis.

    But cops are different, they attack their own countrymen and enforce a power dynamic within the country that is bad for the country’s own citizens; specifically protecting the interest of capital. They are enemies of the state within the state. Different thing.

  • Bought super cheap in early 2020, refinanced almost immediately to make it even cheaper.

    Then I found out I can rent the place out for more than my payment, so o basically couldn’t afford to live there since I get paid to not live there. So I’m renting it out now and it’s free real estate.

    Bought another one basically immediately after the first was rented, the bank saw the balance sheet and said another loan is a no-brainer even at a higher rate. Lived in that one for a year, but now I’m renting it out too because again, it’s just better financial sense to do so.

    Moved back in with my parents because buying a third house feels risky and I’m tired of moving.

  • I used to love it, but all the non-standard evaluation started to give me a headache.

    It’s easy enough to just not use it at all, except for ggplot which recently deprecated aes_() which fucking kills me; they really are dead-set on forcing tidy evaluation.

  • Because they remember what happened in Jordan, and subsequently Lebanon.

    Also because a country with a surplus of unskilled labor doesn’t exactly want more.

    And because they dislike Palestinians so much that they ousted their last president because he tried to give them rights.
