Woah, that looks like the same list of Redditors who don’t read the article!

Wow, it’s like encouraging people to live on credit and debt is actually bad for people!

I seriously hate how much the US fucks over people who can’t make enough to even consider saving money; overdraft fees from banks, having to get loans and debt in order to pay for big expenses, punishing people who need to use credit by lowering their credit score… list goes on and on.

But doesn’t GDP also take into consideration real estate and military spending, two things America very much spends dickloads of money on? In an ideal scenario, it would be an accurate measure, but because housing prices are so high and military spending is basically going infinite at this point in the US, you could argue it’s a worthless metric because of how inflated it can be.

Right, but there are some people who are both gay (satisfying the LGTBQ bit) and Republican, which is very strange to say within the same sentence in today’s age. Only reason I say that is because I have known a couple of these kinds of people and it was… interesting, to say in the least.

Considering we have a population of 331,464,948, I would say it’s not lol

I personally think we’re committing genocide, but I would imagine a sample size that is under 1% of the US population is small

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.

Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day, the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.

But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal. Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.

Glad to see Jon back again, even if it’s only for Mondays. I honestly think we need his voice again in the political discourse - it’s something that has been missing in recent years. He’s probably the closest analogue I could think of for a “modern age” George Carlin, and I think we could use some of that in today’s world.

I hope not, it’s two different systems and I personally prefer VT’s system.

Vermintide is literally “click button”, but the intricacies come from the weapon itself; what is the combo order for light and heavy attacks, when can you weave certain attacks into other attacks (e.g. doing Light 1 -> Heavy 2 -> Block Attack -> repeat for dealing with heavy armor units with a halberd vs Heavy 1 -> Light 2 -> Block Cancel -> repeat for hordes), the properties of each weapon (how much stagger does it cause? Can it cleave through lots of enemies? Does it do more armor damage or is it better for non-armor enemies?), how much can you block vs dodge attacks with each weapon… it’s more akin to something like a first-person Dark Souls or Dynasty Warriors.

Mount and Blade, on the other hand, doesn’t really have an in-depth combo system with weapons being more or less the same and I just turn up the sensitivity so I can flick the camera to do extra damage ez pz. Not really engaging imo.
