I wish there were more normal people who play magic. Going to any shop to play is always a gamble, half the time the people you end up playing with smell bad or are socially inept, sometimes both. It’s a fun game if you have actual good people to play with.
Haha okay. I was confused as shit for a second and reread the thing a few times trying to figure out why I was too stupid to understand what was happening.
“Quietly”?! This is like the 18th time I’ve heard about this. They made an episode on Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia about it. This is like the only thing people know about the competitive chess world.
It is not possible to read all the Sci-Fi books out there. So you must have a process for selecting what you do read. Reading a book is an investment in your time. Your time is valuable. No one wants to waste that time reading unworthy books....
Do most Texans actually abide by this? Because what we’re shown of Texas here in Canada makes me think that the culture there isn’t one of “I’m not going to this thing because an authority figure told me not to.”
The last armoured core I played’s arena mode was dominated by dudes who just made their mechs as fast as possible and just flew into you with their laser swords, because that was the only viable build. If they don’t have that same issue again I’ll pick it up. Because that PVP had so much potential.
The new Teflon don thought he was untouchable but he’s falling just like others before him by the RICO laws made famous in the 80’s by his lawyer and number 2 defendent who is in his 80’s Rudy Guliani.
Nixon also pushed the criminalization of weed and heroin so that he could imprison blacks and hippies because they were the largest demographics of the anti war movement and he didn’t want to make it obvious that he was taking political prisoners out of his own citizenry.
So no, he fucking was not progressive. For that and so many other reasons.
Also, some topics take a lot of nuance time to explain properly. Unless you think the concept of “books” is stupid for some reason, which I’m starting to suspect that you do.
He’s not “some guy”, he’s Adam Smith, one of the main political philosophers responsible for what we know now as capitalism. And it’s a common misconception by people that don’t actually read books that he thinks that landlords, as we have them currently, were bad. Which isn’t true. He summarized it for you and then also added the whole “harvesting kelp” part as well, and then suggested if you want to understand more the nuances of how he feels about landlords you can read more about it. And for some reason you’re like “fuck you” hahaha
Like dude, I don’t get what your issue here is. It sounds like you’re just being bitchy for bitches sake.
Nobody is asking you to study the topic, but when the topic is “did Adam Smith like landlords” and you say “no” and then refuse to read what he actually said about it or listen to people who actually have read it then you look like an idiot. Like sorry bud, that’s how it is.
It’s one of the most prolific, if not THE most prolific book about the philosophy of capitalism of all time. It’s not the same as some anti vaxxer telling you to do your own research man.
I just get really fucking annoyed when people are like “Adam Smith hated landlords even!” When it’s not true. It makes it seem like capitalism isn’t inherently bad or oppressive, it’s the fault of our current system and the bourgeoisie we have now, and not the actual point of the beast. It lets capitalism and it’s proponents off easy, and that pisses me off. And it pisses me off more that when you explain it and give people the resources to understand it better they’re actively rude to you.
