@InfraHaz@hasanthehun@jacksonhinkle To your question about demonetization: Hasan has been indirectly demonitized after Twitch set up a policy where there is no ad revenue offered to any political stream in the aftermath of the recent attempts by certain Zionist orgs to deplatform ProPalestinian streamers.
@Lysmata_mala414 Chasca, Mualani, and Mavuika have distinctly 'Americana' references. Mualani has Hawai'ian surfing culture of the 60's, Chasca reps the Wild West era, and Mavuika has Route 66 motorcycle aura of the 70's. there's a kind of call back to era's of exploration that fits to me.
i just threw 2 pennies at a homeless guy, making him objectively better off than he was before, and he got mad at me?! he said he'd rather have nothing? when the data shows a 2 penny increase? i am a moderate liberal and can't figure out why the data isn't resonating with him
the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.
"you can't force this interventionist bullshit ideology [...] you have to meet them where they are" - @ettingermentum speaking about the democratic party on @hasanthehun's stream
@winbalt agreed- as others have said, this election has been a "death by a thousand cuts" scenario with rural counties in swing states. so many strategies to tap into urban, rural, elder and youth voter interest weren't used. voter concerns were dismissed and this is the outcome.
@lucasdell@Bardopacotilla true. the delivery of Fontaine's archon quests via Trials made the plot easier to consume than Sumeru's quests. i think the Sumeru writers had a bigger challenge of communicating the concepts of Irminsul, forbidden knowledge, and dreams to players. Aranara needs a compass too.
One thing that's been notable about grocery stores during the pandemic is that their earnings behavior has been empirically different from the rest of retail.
Whereas margins in other retail popped fast then came back down, grocery margins slowly rose & have stayed stubbornly high
what do you value?
i won't dwell too long on passing moments. that said, things like love reside eternally in moments.
i'm serious about work ethic,
funny about my business.
i'm not hedonistic and definitely not stoic.
people are puzzles, mysteries to me
