😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

@towelthetank Very obviously they're doing it ahead of the holidays so that their employees don't have to work through Christmas and new years on fixes for the first raid tier of a new flagship title.

@sabepriest "Please make it so my way to play is optimal"

Brother, just keep leveling at your pace and go raid when you get there. The raid ain't going anywhere. Handle your own fomo rather than making millions of people wait for you.

[dijon @dijn0_]

@Tyler08015300 @Jet_Limit1 "Might be good?" Even if it's tuned as the #1 dps won't change it's design or rotation. The spec will easily be the second worst iteration of spriest in history. The only worse iteration was vanilla. No one is talking about tuning in beta.

[dijon @dijn0_]

@CaptBTC @Jet_Limit1 Unless they're hiding runes, you can see trainable spells and talents. Tuning we don't know, but feel? 100%.

Being grateful they made c+ doesn't mean you can't criticize some decisions. Surv got a rework, meanwhile spriest is exactly the same. Mana is improved, but that's it

[dijon @dijn0_]

@Jet_Limit1 You mean the same ones trying to tell you that 3 xp bubbles is reasonable for a 40 minute (average pug) wc? Or the ones that thought this iteration of ele was good to ship? Crazy

They cooked with some things (surv), but others are straight up raw, and not in a sushi kind of way

@burkov This AI was not trained on any Adam Sandler movies

[dijon @dijn0_]

@towelthetank 2019 classic already had the final patch from vanilla. They just needed to iron out bugs, not touch tuning.

This is new, they get to decide whatever tuning. And I get the impression the builds we see are several builds behind development.

[dijon @dijn0_]

@RachelBitecofer Maybe instead of coddling and sheltering kids at young ages, parents need to teach them about consequences. Let them make mistakes early so they're more careful as they get older. Let them fail. A child who faced consequences early on becomes a well adjusted adult.

[dijon @dijn0_]

@towelthetank Or maybe figure out how much xp/hr you get if you quest all the way and just make it so you get 80% of that for 5 dungeons in one hour.

Makes it less optimal, also makes it not a complete waste of time if you repeat a dungeon to finish a quest or to farm a drop

[dijon @dijn0_]

@FideiDefensorX @Gingitv The original game? You mean the one that everyone was spamming dungeons because it was the fastest way to level?

[dijon @dijn0_]

@Keihndeth @jdotb Oh look, one of the muted. Lol.

[dijon @dijn0_]

@Waydots Oh look, another snowflake

Stop idolizing billionaires and start treating them like the greedy, resource-hoarding, people-exploiting parasitic fuckers they are.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF A DEMOCRAT THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Ron Howard has summed up what many of us believe. Including me....
“I'm a liberal, but that doesn't mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let's break it down, shall we? Because quite frankly, I'm getting a little tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler alert: not every liberal is the same, though the majority of liberals I know think along roughly these same lines:
1. I believe a country should take care of its weakest members. A country cannot call itself civilized when its children, disabled, sick, and elderly are neglected. PERIOD.
2. I believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Somehow that's interpreted as "I believe Obamacare is the end-all, be-all." This is not the case. I'm fully aware that the ACA has problems, that a national healthcare system would require everyone to chip in, and that it's impossible to create one that is devoid of flaws, but I have yet to hear an argument against it that makes "let people die because they can't afford healthcare" a better alternative. I believe healthcare should be far cheaper than it is, and that everyone should have access to it. And no, I'm not opposed to paying higher taxes in the name of making that happen.
3. I believe education should be affordable. It doesn't necessarily have to be free (though it works in other countries so I'm mystified as to why it can't work in the US), but at the end of the day, there is no excuse for students graduating college saddled with five- or six-figure debt.
4. I don't believe your money should be taken from you and given to people who don't want to work. I have literally never encountered anyone who believes this. Ever. I just have a massive moral problem with a society where a handful of people can possess the majority of the wealth while there are people literally starving to death, freezing to death, or dying because they can't afford to go to the doctor. Fair wages, lower housing costs, universal healthcare, affordable education, and the wealthy actually paying their share would go a long way toward alleviating this. Somehow believing that makes me a communist.
5. I don't throw around "I'm willing to pay higher taxes" lightly. If I'm suggesting something that involves paying more, well, it's because I'm fine with paying my share as long as it's actually going to something besides lining corporate pockets or bombing other countries while Americans die without healthcare.
6. I believe companies should be required to pay their employees a decent, livable wage. Somehow this is always interpreted as me wanting burger flippers to be able to afford a penthouse apartment and a Mercedes. What it actually means is that no one should have to work three full-time jobs just to keep their head above water. Restaurant servers should not have to rely on tips, multibillion-dollar companies should not have employees on food stamps, workers shouldn't have to work themselves into the ground just to barely make ends meet, and minimum wage should be enough for someone to work 40 hours and live.
7. I am not anti-Christian. I have no desire to stop Christians from being Christians, to close churches, to ban the Bible, to forbid prayer in school, etc. (BTW, prayer in school is NOT illegal; *compulsory* prayer in school is - and should be - illegal). All I ask is that Christians recognize *my* right to live according to *my* beliefs. When I get pissed off that a politician is trying to legislate Scripture into law, I'm not "offended by Christianity" -- I'm offended that you're trying to force me to live by your religion's rules. You know how you get really upset at the thought of Muslims imposing Sharia law on you? That's how I feel about Christians trying to impose biblical law on me. Be a Christian. Do your thing. Just don't force it on me or mine.
8. I don't believe LGBT people should have more rights than you. I just believe they should have the *same* rights as you.
9. I don't believe illegal immigrants should come to America and have the world at their feet, especially since THIS ISN'T WHAT THEY DO (spoiler: undocumented immigrants are ineligible for all those programs they're supposed to be abusing, and if they're "stealing" your job it's because your employer is hiring illegally). I believe there are far more humane ways to handle undocumented immigration than our current practices (i.e., detaining children, splitting up families, ending DACA, etc).
10. I don't believe the government should regulate everything, but since greed is such a driving force in our country, we NEED regulations to prevent cut corners, environmental destruction, tainted food/water, unsafe materials in consumable goods or medical equipment, etc. It's not that I want the government's hands in everything -- I just don't trust people trying to make money to ensure that their products/practices/etc. are actually SAFE. Is the government devoid of shadiness? Of course not. But with those regulations in place, consumers have recourse if they're harmed and companies are liable for medical bills, environmental cleanup, etc. Just kind of seems like common sense when the alternative to government regulation is letting companies bring their bottom line into the equation.
11. I believe our current administration is fascist. Not because I dislike them or because I can’t get over an election, but because I've spent too many years reading and learning about the Third Reich to miss the similarities. Not because any administration I dislike must be Nazis, but because things are actually mirroring authoritarian and fascist regimes of the past.
12. I believe the systemic racism and misogyny in our society is much worse than many people think, and desperately needs to be addressed. Which means those with privilege -- white, straight, male, economic, etc. -- need to start listening, even if you don't like what you're hearing, so we can start dismantling everything that's causing people to be marginalized.
13. I am not interested in coming after your blessed guns, nor is anyone serving in government. What I am interested in is the enforcement of present laws and enacting new, common sense gun regulations. Got another opinion? Put it on your page, not mine.
14. I believe in so-called political correctness. I prefer to think it’s social politeness. If I call you Chuck and you say you prefer to be called Charles I’ll call you Charles. It’s the polite thing to do. Not because everyone is a delicate snowflake, but because as Maya Angelou put it, when we know better, we do better. When someone tells you that a term or phrase is more accurate/less hurtful than the one you're using, you now know better. So why not do better? How does it hurt you to NOT hurt another person?
15. I believe in funding sustainable energy, including offering education to people currently working in coal or oil so they can change jobs. There are too many sustainable options available for us to continue with coal and oil. Sorry, billionaires. Maybe try investing in something else.
16. I believe that women should not be treated as a separate class of human. They should be paid the same as men who do the same work, should have the same rights as men and should be free from abuse. Why on earth shouldn’t they be?
I think that about covers it. Bottom line is that I'm a liberal because I think we should take care of each other. That doesn't mean you should work 80 hours a week so your lazy neighbor can get all your money. It just means I don't believe there is any scenario in which preventable suffering is an acceptable outcome as long as money is saved.”
Ron Howard

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

The economy is not broken, it’s just not built for us.

The strongest middle class we have ever had (1950-1980) is when the top earners were being taxed 70%+.

Then Reagan cut the taxes for the 1% to 28%. He attacked unions and gave manufacturers the green light to send our jobs overseas.

We have never recovered from this.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

"I said to Trump, you know, 4 days before the war started, if you do this, you know, the United States will be kicked out of the Gulf. The American Empire will begin to collapse. Your legacy will be destroyed along with your party. I said this to Trump to his face in the Oval Office days before the war began, and he looked at me and said, 'Yes, you're right. But in the end, we all die anyway, so it doesn't matter.' That's exactly what he said. 'In the end, we all die anyway.'"

Seems to me, instead of destroying the entire fucking country and half the World, we could have just released the Epstein Files in full and put everyone who raped kids in prison.

@DeItaone The guy who bankrupts everything he touches wants low interest rates. I'm /shocked/
