It only stops being magical if you let cynicism win.

The problem is really that people think you need to pay $350,000, but you shouldn’t seriously pay more than $40,000. Higher education as a concept isn’t a scam, but certain schools like the Ivy Leagues and private universities absolutely are. While there certainly are benefits to going to a prestigious school, most public state universities in the United States are excellent and hold good reputation. The quality of education you’ll get at a local state college will only be like 10% worse than Harvard or Yale, but will cost 10x less. There’s also the argument for technical schools or apprenticeships; while potentially more limiting, these also offer a significantly more affordable path of higher education for Americans.

While you won’t necessarily get a bonus or anything for having a degree that aligns with the role you perform at a company, you aren’t getting that job without the degree. College degrees serve as a way to move between the American de jure caste system; you can either work in low-wage jobs that won’t require a degree, or you pursue higher education to get access to the ones that do.

I’m taking it to mean something more akin to a cleric’s Domain from D&D, as opposed to you turning into divinity. So you can pray to your god, and as long as it’s within your god’s domain, it will be granted.

That is still fucking busted, especially if combined with magic, but to your point, godhood makes the whole list moot.

wtf is this list, these are absolutely not equal powers. Magic alone accounts for 80% of this list. Magic, Divine Power, Attractive Lady is just the meta choice. Who the hell is gonna take something lame like Stamina or Invisibility when you could use magic powers to make yourself invisible and fly.

Nah dude, you’re thinkin of Trevor Moore.

That’s the guy who died having anal sex with a horse.

Right but take what you just said to it’s logical conclusion. Why should only men have those responsibilities? All you’ve really done is create a different, nicer patriarchy, that still expects men to conform to specific gender roles and still expects women to conform to specific gender roles. Consider the inverse, all the people who physically can’t produce more than they require to survive, who need additional attention or care, through no fault of their own. Can those people not be men?

You’ve described just a generally good person, and realistically you’ve described more women than you have men. The goal should be to get rid of the idea that certain responsibilities are reserved for certain genders completely.

You’re maybe in the vast minority of normies, but I think a lot of gamers have actually realized how lame Skyrim is. There’s certainly hours long rants on Youtube breaking down each little issue the game has, as well as examining it from the perspective of modern game design and as a failure of the Elder Scrolls brand, but beyond that; is anyone really holding up vanilla Skyrim as the pinnacle of gaming any more? Even Bethesda realized it needs mods to be enjoyable.

How on earth has nobody said X Gon’ Give It To Ya. Maybe people are getting fixated on the Supreme Court part, but I feel like that’s the right theme for kicking any ass in a White Castle parking lot.

Sounds like good motivation to lose the beer belly.

Or don’t, there’s people out there who are into the gut. It’s more about making sure people feel comfortable in their own skin and not just bending to societal expectations out of a blind sense of conformity.

Just to add onto this, don’t think that just because you live in a deep red or deep blue area, you can’t mobilize and make a serious difference. Most incumbents get by due to public indifference. Replacing members of both parties in entrenched areas with progressives is possible, but those progressives need help. Any time you can give is always appreciated!

That’s the trick, people will always want shovels. Even after the gold rush ends, the only difference is demand for shovels goes back to normal, it doesn’t disappear.

Aren’t all of those essentially just city-states? I’ll forgive anyone who’s not able to tell which dot is which, that’s pretty fair.

Okay but like, how could you miss Lichtenstein? As long as it’s in scale, you should be able to know it’s the smallest country on the continent and go from there.

right, but now the cop has to shoot their gf.

Which given the number of domestic abusers who are cops, still probably aren’t crying.

It’s wild that the U.K. doesn’t teach the Odyssey, I thought their whole thing was stealing other peoples’ culture and pretending they owned it now.

Maybe don’t tout a half-measure that comprimised with literal ghouls as a defining unequivocal win for the party then?

We were an oligarchy.

With the new administration, it would be more apt to call the US a plutocracy.

Hey why did we get the shitty ACA instead of actual universal healthcare if the Dems had power and were committed to getting universal healthcare?

You know how people like to satirize the stock market by claiming it runs on blood?

We’re living in a satire.

There’s no greater feeling of power than watching a DPS die because they were using too much of my mana that could be better spent on the tank. Sorry, I’ve decided your life isn’t worth saving, you can think about your mistakes on the ground for this pull.
