@BagelPolling yeah and people don't even mention all the free shit (rebates, tax breaks, etc) seniors get for renovating their home that they are already deferring the tax on. somebody should actually tally up all the auxiliary programs that get ignored because OAS is so big.
@SGnoses@Foiblaet@dialgatime321 Being an Autist is like driving and having someone cut you off but the whole world treats you like you're insane for honking and a cop pulls you over, so you never honk and just focus on never getting honked at. Eventually you have your own rules of the road that only you follow.
@HariSel57511397 Graduated licensing also makes it pretty slow. I remember once I got my permit I had to drive around for like a year with an adult before you could take the test that let you put a girl in the passenger seat. Had to do almost all my high school dates car-less so it wasn't useful.
@CorpAbsurdity The "skilled trade shortage" is bullshit in a lot of regards but keep in mind that a 0 year apprentice is just a guy who costs you money. Imagine a guy being paid $50 an hour teaching a guy paid $20 how to swing a hammer and you realise why only the boss's son gets that slot.
@asc_kritias@0x49fa98 To be fair, I don't think the average person who says they have a high EQ means anything other than "I'm good at socializing" and somebody once told them their math grades weren't everything.
@YuriPrime14@GamingAndPandas Normal people are abysmal at arguing facts, they're actually incapable of even conveying true positions. Spend enough time around Anti-flat earthers and its almost enough to make you doubt.
@YuriPrime14@GamingAndPandas My take is just that propaganda is spread/enforced horizontally. The average person isn't a critical observer who can form arguments so these pseudo educated enforcers of society's will tend to fail to spread ideas to anyone who is actually listening to their words.
@Vasart4@Myrk_Heithr@_Gemani Chromatic dragons are evil dragons for the players to fight, they come in different varieties to match different campaigns. White dragons are great beasts for a Viking party to hunt or to prey upon an arctic expedition rather than an evil schemer next to civilization.
@FrenlyOfficer@retardrutide I'm not going to pretend Bryan's right but I remember being dragged to the doctor and diagnosed with mono and not noticing anything was wrong.
@kenthecowboy_ The ideology specifically empowered individuals to start events like this knowing they'd be backed up no matter what. It was somewhat inevitable that they'd at some point bounce off a rock that refused to budge.
@kenthecowboy_ At the time it was called intersectionalism and they followed a doctrine of "the personal is political'. The goal was to force you to pick a side and make it to toxic to side against them when you do. Its not hyperstition, it's just that gamers were a disagreeable group.
