My parents

[sweet phoenix]

Thats stupid asl

[fresh timber]

I wanna get T-Mobile backup? Maybe load balance with it 5g has better upload speed

[sage sluice]

And i play competitive fighing games

Guess who hasnt played competitive fighting games in a year since they got it

[fresh timber]

@pliant berry my Xfinity upload is 20mbps, 5g is like 50-100. In theory I could have gaming traffic go though Xfinity and everything els T-Mobile and such

[sage sluice]

Money

All i hear is money

[fresh timber]

It’s cheap

[sage sluice]

Food isnt

Everything else i need to live isnt 😭

[fresh timber]

Fortunately my parents support me…

[sweet phoenix]

We've got fiber for home internet, Verizon for mobile

[fresh timber]

Lucky

I use boost ass

[pliant berry]

simple, just don't eat

[sweet phoenix]

Real

[sage sluice]

I wish i could say the same really, my parents do the bare minimum for me

[fresh timber]

Ass

[fresh timber]

They are doing all they are legally obligated to do I see

[sage sluice]

They buy the cheapest frozen chicken pattys they can for me and the occasional thing of wonder bread

[fresh timber]

And my signal is ass

[sage sluice]

Then proceed to go out and eat

[fresh timber]

I never get signal

[fresh timber]

Damn

[sage sluice]

Oh for sure, and they see themselves as wonderful parents

[pliant berry]

I have some periods where I use about that much in a week on my phone lol

[fresh timber]

I have to survive a week

[sage sluice]

I got screamed at because i was out of chicken pattys one time and she said go make a chicken sandwich and saw there was a rotisserie chicken in the fridge so i used that to make one

Guess who's moving out when they can <3

[fresh timber]

I don’t see her name on it

[sage sluice]

If im permitted to eat anything they make they like size out a portion mark it and put it in the fridge

[unreal trail]

Verizon be like "Nobody has coverage like us, our network is unmatched. We'll give you a great deal at $120 a month." Bill comes and its $376.43.

[sage sluice]

God thats so true

Xfinity did like a slow build up over 2 years

Went from like 45 to 130 bucks

For us

Thats why my mom switched

[unreal trail]

upcharge creep should be unlawful

[pliant berry]

that's what verizon does

good thing they raised their contracts from 2 years to 3

[unreal trail]

they creep even on contracts though

corps break contract with customers all the time, no problem

[pliant berry]

yeah I know

gotta watch the fine print, that's why we decided not to go with verizon for cell

[sage sluice]

Corps break laws but the second you do something they dont like they act like a snobbish goodytwoshoes

A certain ai getting their precious data stolen by another

Comes to mind

[unreal trail]

WoW raised rates after contract agreements all the time, then expected you to pay 3-500 dollars contract termination fee

[sage sluice]

Dude if this kid next to me does not stop crunching and smacking on their water bottle cap im gonna kill a man

[unreal trail]

lol

[sage sluice]

Jesus they did? How the hell did that not get more spotlight

Honestly why doesnt any of it get more spotlight

[unreal trail]

the most annoying, grating noise when someone sits crunching a cheap water bottle

[sage sluice]

Oh no this is a million times worse, you can hear every detail of their apparently very moist mouth

[unreal trail]

theos on his way to work

[sage sluice]

If you hear screaming in the freezer at a fast food store or restaurant you walk away and give them space

Unfortunately its pretty normal 😭

[unreal trail]

you go to a different restaurant

no way that food is gonna be made right

[sage sluice]

Ironically those are some of the best cooks

The freezer is kind of the im losing my mind i need to chill place

Because the people who dont will scream at people instead

Not everybody builds up anger like that

But those who do are best doing it in the walk in lmao

[pliant berry]

another day of having to both adobe to get my money back

[sage sluice]

Da vinci my beloved

Only have to offer up your data to download it

Even then you can put bs in

[pliant berry]

I do have it actually it, main problem is there aren't really any viable lightroom alternatives that are cheaper

[sage sluice]

Fair enough

Im probably signing my death sentence saying this especially to a mod but

It doesnt have to be expensive

And if theres anything that deserves it its adobe

Look at it

All purchased

My pc is finally coming together

[unreal trail]

all by itself?

[sinful blade]

Yes, it has arms and legs

[unreal trail]

incredible

[sinful blade]

But next student refund cycle I’ll be getting a new case, cpu, and ram. Then I’ll be fine for a while.

Plus my Amazon/woot cart I can’t seem to get back into

[tacit quiver]

i am so glad the adobe and figma merger didnt go through

[sinful blade]

@mortal grail PC PARTS BOUGHT

[pliant berry]

they were planning to merge?

[tacit quiver]

they were in talks

https://www.figma.com/blog/figma-adobe-abandon-proposed-merger/

[worn wave]

Luminar AI is pretty close depending on what you're doing

[pliant berry]

that's kind of weird. I mean they like to merge with collaboration platforms but from what I understand they haven't been a serious player in that space recently

[gleaming sedge]

I have luminar AI and it takes a pretty good computer to run but if going that route luminar neo would be better

[worn wave]

Oh my bad, I mixed them up

[pliant berry]

nah I've looked into that one briefly but doesn't really have what I need. Capture one looked like the closest bet but it's like... double what adobe charges

[worn wave]

Neo is the newer one

[gleaming sedge]

Simple solution☠️

[worn wave]

The AI denoising addon is so good

[tacit quiver]

adobe dreamweaver is very outdated

vscode + figma + prettier do everything dreamweaver was marketed to do, but like a lot more modern

and cheaper

[sage sluice]

Aye thats awesome dude

Curious what youre playing with a 5700xt

[pliant berry]

yeah dreamweaver might as well be dead. I did hear of some people usign xd design but Idk much about it personally

[sage sluice]

Actually im curious what builds most of yall are running

[pliant berry]

9900k, 3070ti

[sinful blade]

Just d2 being the most intensive

[dusk knot]

5800x3d/3080ti

[sage sluice]

Oh yeah nothings killing you there lmao

What im running w/o peripherals https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R64C4p

[dusk knot]

Also nice buid

[sage sluice]

Was a pain getting the money for it, saved up a while

Burnt the rest of my budget on peripherals

[fresh timber]

That keyboard

[dusk knot]

Looks kinda

[sinful blade]

It was cheap

So

It’s an ornata

[dusk knot]

Oh ok

How on earth did the scalpers get their hands on a whole box of 5080s

[pliant berry]

p

[lone mango]

Back when destiny was good there was a destiny themed ornata that was made and my brother found one on clearance when he was working at target

Honestly not a bad keyboard

Wait it might’ve been a cynosa instead

Still tho those mecha membranes aren’t actually that bad

[fresh timber]

suply and demand

[sinful blade]

I also have a cynosa for the wife

Been using it for 2 years

No issues

How much did you pay, Theo?

[devout forum]

And even then he only got an image of a 5090

Where GPU?

[dusk knot]

Nowhere to be found

[craggy shoal]

I would like to have a word with you on that keyboard

(You already know what I’m about to say)

Thank you for listening

[sage sluice]

Whats the best place to buy the occulus 2?

[craggy shoal]

[dusk knot]

You wish you had my 100usd apple magic keyboard

[craggy shoal]

Oh nah

[dusk knot]

Apple filth

And their $300 keyboards for ipad

[craggy shoal]

The fact that you can get a Keychron, with mechanical switches, built for Apple devices by default, and they’re cheaper than Apple's butterfly-switch keyboard

Nuts

[sage sluice]

My 110 dollar bridge75 was my best purchase peripheral next to my pc38x

I do not regret buying that keeb, i got the creamy one on accident but it turned out to be the best thing ever

the microsoft dsicord doesnt like how im blocking windows updates via dns

[tranquil pebble]

group policy is the better way to do it

[fresh timber]

More ways to block their domains

I hate windows updates

[velvet summit]

But also kinda necessary for security updates

[fresh timber]

I don’t really care personally

[velvet summit]

You might as well use windows 7 then

[fresh timber]

Rather be hacked than a update breaking my system

[velvet summit]

💀

[fresh timber]

I wish 7 had the drivers I needed

I wish Fortnite supported linux.. o lord I wanan dual boot again

[nocturne flicker]

Always has been

Dude literally called himself a member of the funni crossed z's gang 3 years ago

[misty sparrow]

I did not see that coming

[sinful blade]

He’s just disgusting

Never liked the dude

[frigid stag]

You can do it through windows 10 pro version

[misty sparrow]

never listened to him either is his music even good

[frigid stag]

That’s not even the issue

You can get them but some games don’t support it

[nocturne flicker]

Windows 7 doesn't even run well anymore

[frigid stag]

?

It runs great same as always

[nocturne flicker]

I installed it on an SSD in a era appropriate machine and it was laggy as heck after doing all the updates

[misty sparrow]

if i really wanted windows 7 aesthetic i would get a program that changes the way windows 11 looks to resemble it

[frigid stag]

Ryzen cpu?

[misty sparrow]

i wouldn't downgrade to actual win7 just for the nostalgia

[frigid stag]

If only it was for aesthetic reasons

[misty sparrow]

you can make windows 10 run really great if you tried hard enough

[fresh timber]

I’m debating Linux but I use widnwos only stuff too much arg

[frigid stag]

I have tried and it gets gapped by my stock windows 8 install 😭

It’s just way too responsive

[nocturne flicker]

4790 and a GTX 970

[frigid stag]

Not sure then must’ve been a bad install

[sinful blade]

I-

Okay

[fresh timber]

First time?

[misty sparrow]

yeah definitely did not see that coming

[frigid stag]

Schizo

[nocturne flicker]

Just a repeat of what he said on InfoWars

Literally a one trick pony

[frigid stag]

He just went insane after Kim left him

[misty sparrow]

if he paid attention in history class he would know that he probably shouldn't be doing it, but not because of he evil stuff they did

[fresh timber]

O god my

[frigid stag]

The fall off needs to be studied

[fresh timber]

He’s saying the f slur now

[frigid stag]

That’s it?

He’s said way worse

[fresh timber]

Yeah

It’s maybe

Kayne

Normal behavior

[misty sparrow]

isn't kanye the type of guy the people he's advocating for would target

because of...

[frigid stag]

Why else if not the stuff they’ve done

[fresh timber]

I’m god

[lone mango]

Fr

[misty sparrow]

well it just seems like kanye is the type of guy they would target

[frigid stag]

Ye it’s a bit ironic but

I don’t think he even knows what he’s saying at this point

[misty sparrow]

he's probably going to pull a michael jackson except on purpose

mark my words

[slate fractal]

kanye and elon have been behaving awfully similar recently

[nocturne flicker]

You forget that people let their hate blind them

They'll gladly support people who hate them if they also hate the same group they hate but more

[frigid stag]

Trolling 100%

[slate fractal]

mj had a skin condition called vitiligo he was gonna either go white over time or skip to the whiteness with bleach

[misty sparrow]

well yeah, that's why i said "on purpose"

[fresh timber]

There a difference

Elon is 100% ok in the head

[frigid stag]

Elon was trolling

[fresh timber]

Kayne is 30%

[slate fractal]

uhh

[misty sparrow]

70%

100% is too high

[fresh timber]

Lmfao

[slate fractal]

40% at his best

[fresh timber]

Kayne had real mental problems going on

[slate fractal]

kayne??

[frigid stag]

At least he doesn’t go on crazy rants

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, one is seizing control of the entire US Treasury payment system in an illegal coup and the other is frothing at the mouth online. Very different

[fresh timber]

Elon, mostly just stupid and insensitive

[fresh timber]

Excatly

[misty sparrow]

people like to say elons smart but i wonder if he actually invented the stuff he owns

or was just born rich

[frigid stag]

He is book smart

[fresh timber]

Everything Kayne does doesn’t really matter in our daily lives

[frigid stag]

That’s Reddit level bs

[fresh timber]

What Elon does matters

[slate fractal]

they both like trump and nas si's

[frigid stag]

Book smart sure, socially not at all

[misty sparrow]

just like kanye, i did not see this coming

[frigid stag]

Half of the us must be nz1’s then

Cause they voted for him

Must at least remotely like him

[misty sparrow]

should we even be talking about this here

[frigid stag]

Sure

[misty sparrow]

i was trying to be very very subtle about it

[fresh timber]

Where talking about actions with out our opinions

[slate fractal]

not half

[fresh timber]

Just facts no opinion

[misty sparrow]

isnt this just straight politics though?

[frigid stag]

Not quite

[misty sparrow]

its like, teetering on that

[fresh timber]

Is kayne political figure

[frigid stag]

None of us are defending Kanye

We all think he’s lost his mind

[slate fractal]

about half of the us voted at all, so around a quarter actually voted for turnip

[frigid stag]

Source?

[fresh timber]

That’s just a fact

Who voted for who is a fact, why? That’s an opinion

[gilded kraken]

pretty sure politics in Newegg discord is banned

[frigid stag]

I mean I can tell u some reasons why but it’s probably too politics related

[nocturne flicker]

A book smart man does not spend many times the value for a company that does not actually profit that much and then makes it even more unprofitable

[frigid stag]

He didn’t want to buy it, he trolled, and they forced him to go through with the sale

He does impulsive bs like that

[nocturne flicker]

A book smart man does not put himself in that situation either

Because that is just dumb

[frigid stag]

Mental diff

He’s also got some mental conditions apparently

[nocturne flicker]

And anybody with half a mind towards economics, business or anything dealing with money would nope out

[frigid stag]

He literally tried to

[misty sparrow]

elon has so much money to spend anyway

[frigid stag]

They made him go through with the sale

[misty sparrow]

something something emerald mine his father owned

[frigid stag]

So he tried to make Twitter worse out of spite

[frigid stag]

He didn’t get anything from that except paying for his college

All his money is from his business and whatever other shady investments

[nocturne flicker]

Yes and he is dumb as heck for even getting to the stage of purchasing Twitter

[slate fractal]

a lot of the swing states were uninformed thats partly why turnip got so many votes

[nocturne flicker]

I mean most people said it was for economic reasons lmao

[fresh timber]

They suspect Elon has autism

[frigid stag]

“Suspect”

It’s almost confirmed

[nocturne flicker]

If you can't make that minimal rational effort with many billions of dollars, you are not smart

Period

[fresh timber]

He me needs to see a doctor to confirm anything

[misty sparrow]

okay there's no way all of you say this isn't politics when stuff like this is brought up

[fresh timber]

Fr

[frigid stag]

It’s just about figures who happen to be in politics

[misty sparrow]

i can respect that

[slate fractal]

he does, i do too and i can sense it but that "roman salute" wasnt from that

[fresh timber]

I’m autistic and don’t do Roman salutes

[misty sparrow]

but when it gets to stuff like "a bunch of the US voted for the swing states and trump"

[slate fractal]

it's true tho. if they say its for economic reasons they clearly didnt know we are under trumps tax plan since 2020

[sweet phoenix]

HAH

[icy ore]

sir he said turnip

[fresh timber]

I mean that’s facts, the h informed part is opinion

[frigid stag]

It’s more complicated than just tax

[sweet phoenix]

Grocery prices are high due to price gouging. The one thing that would fix that is anti price gouging laws.

[icy ore]

[sweet phoenix]

Crazy that one candidate wanted to do that

[frigid stag]

Yeah price gouging and definitely not the money printers being on 11 in 2020 and 2021 LMAO

[icy ore]

Why would they lower prices when they recognize we’re willing to pay what we are?

[sweet phoenix]

Look at grocery companies profit margins.

Lmfao

[misty sparrow]

$10 for a subway footlong with only the footlong, no meal is crazy

[nocturne flicker]

Economic reasons is a cop out. Multiple studies have found that people who get their news primarily from social media voted a very specific way because social media is a cesspool of misinformation and political propaganda

[sweet phoenix]

.

You're blaming the wrong things because you were told to

[frigid stag]

No one told me shi

[sweet phoenix]

Mhm

Peace out

[nocturne flicker]

If economic concerns were an actual reason, they wouldn't vote for someone who's only solution is they'll magically fix everything trust me bro

Very sketchy

[slate fractal]

that was one of kamala's policies 🤯🤯

[proud jackal]

I will gladly trade 3 eggs for a 5090

[frigid stag]

What if it’s the distributors or big farm profiting

Instead of the grocery stores

[nocturne flicker]

Distributors and farm corps are still required to abide by anti-price fixing and gouging laws

[lone mango]

Fr

[nocturne flicker]

Example: Cal-Maine, the biggest egg company in the US was recently found guilty of price fixing and collabing with the other major egg companies to do it in the lead up to the Financial Crisis

[frigid stag]

Financial crisis was just the pile up results of a series of bad decisions

[worn wave]

Eggs should not be used as a data point bc of the avian flu

[nocturne flicker]

Does that relate to the matter of price fixing?

Not really but it still affects the economy

[nocturne flicker]

It was an example of producers and distributors still having to abide by price fixing and gouging laws, not a statement about anything to do with the Crisis

[frigid stag]

I mean u could look at it the other way and wonder why wages have stagnated

[nocturne flicker]

Because there is greater downward pressure on wages

[frigid stag]

They should be going up with inflation which they aren’t

Holy cow use some reasoning

trump's "drill baby drill" is literally just a climate change accelerator and pulling us out of the pollution thing (i forgot what its called) is not helping, which fits with the maga belief that climate change isnt real

Make more oil when we are already producing the most oil ever in US history, put tariffs on everything and cause general chaos, sure that is a good economic policy

In addition to restrictions on their legal rights, detainees are widely reported to have been housed in unfit conditions and routinely abused and tortured, often in the form of "enhanced interrogation techniques".[9][10] As early as October 2003, the International Committee of the Red Cross warned of "deterioration in the psychological health of a large number of detainees".[11] Subsequent reports by international human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, as well as intergovernmental institutions such as the Organization of American States and the United Nations, concluded that detainees have been systematically mistreated in violation of their human rights.[11][12]

Woagh. Why are we talking about this.

I mean, that's the panel that will face away from you anyways

[wise wigeon]

When I took it off it just flexes without much pressure

That’s why I want it to be good but like paying $110 for it to have a big bulge

[hoary zodiac]

Imagine spending an extra $5-10 per fan for some stupid leds

There is no bulge

[slate fractal]

ive got a big bulge too

on my computer

[hoary zodiac]

Am I going crazy or is it just not noticeable at all

[wise wigeon]

I just took the plastic off

So there is nothing in there and it’s bulging

[slate fractal]

theyve been getting chunky recently, have you seen the 4090?? the 50 series is getting smaller tho

$3000 and works way better for AI

Than a 5090

[slate fractal]

theyre all asian so i dont think thatd work

[hoary zodiac]

Nvidia is all in on the AI money

So AI people would legit have more sway than gamers

[slate fractal]

5th tourneys fit my icicle

[dusk knot]

Deepseek will save us

[ancient swift]

But they like overcharging for features because AI has a ton of money

OpenAi is getting a 500 billion dollar government contract. Nvidias mouth is watering. They're gonna introduce CUDA 2 at this point.

[dusk knot]

Smh

[hoary zodiac]

Nvidia's always been overcharging for features

This is why I don't buy nvidia

[nocturne flicker]

Inb4 they ban it

[dusk knot]

They better not

[sage sluice]

I hate the idea of nvidias mouth watering

[hoary zodiac]

Tfw tencent is still not banned

[nocturne flicker]

They are already going to be banning it from gov't devices, the inevitable next step is TikTok ban 2.0

[hoary zodiac]

That's fair tho

Government devices are a different story

[nocturne flicker]

What I'm saying is they are going the path they did with TikTok. Reps are already calling it TikTok on steroids

The first thing they did for banning TikTok was banning it on gov't devices. Once the door is open they inch forward to banning it wholesale

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

It's not as severe as the tiktok ban

[nocturne flicker]

Of course, they'll never do the same to any private company not in China collecting info and selling it to anyone

[hoary zodiac]

There are other (better) AI models out there

The investors are AI

That's not even far fetched

Some of them are legit algorithms

[fresh timber]

imagine if mid range gpus had 20gb vram

[sage sluice]

I decided to make an image for this sentence

[ancient swift]

There's a bill to ban it in the house lol

[nocturne flicker]

Is for gov't devices. As I said

Next step is full ban. Or threaten full ban unless they sell it to a US AI company instead

[dusk knot]

Needs more money

[nocturne flicker]

Economic imperialism at its finest. Threaten to ban something unless they give it to us

[ancient swift]

S.321 is an amendment to that bill to ban it from everyone. From Representative Hawley.

[fresh timber]

I’m 5090 ready

[dusk knot]

If you can find a 5090

[ancient swift]

"A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit United States persons from advancing artificial intelligence capabilities within the People's Republic of China, and for other purposes." The full text isn't on the website yet. But he mentioned fines for people who download it.

[sage sluice]

Its called a competitive market right? Be evil until its done to you

[nocturne flicker]

Is because OpenAI is not Chinese, therefore they can never do anything ever ever wrong and only the companies in bad countries can ever do bad

[sage sluice]

Companies in bad companies

They all suck, das how i feel ong

[nocturne flicker]

Zuckerburg was literally going to Congress and saying don't worry about our privacy violations, Chinese companies are the only ones you should worry about

[nocturne flicker]

What I'm saying is that it is all extremely hypocritical and shows how little they actually care about privacy

[sage sluice]

"Yeah dont worry, the chinese are gonna exploit you we wont!!" proceeds to exploit you

[nocturne flicker]

If they actually cared they'd ban all companies from doing it

Not just the ones that win them Cold War 2 points

[sage sluice]

How little? Laughable you think they did to begin with

They only put up the front so you take terms to their service

Companies can kinda do what they want if they have enough cash

How do you frame a corporate for hiring a hitman?

They can afford to get the good ones

You do have a choice, its called being completely out of the loop

But that also comes with its weaknesses

Basically the already wealthy conglomerates see chances to take even more advantage of people

Its easier to make your customers dip their toes in slowly over time and build a brand name before becoming a total monster, and now companies are finding more and more middlemen

Take food for example. Mcdonalds dollar menu was a thing. Now youre lucky if you can even get a meal for less than 10 bucks

The issue is EVERY industry is walking over us

Oh absolutely. What bothers me is people actually buy it still

I wish people could take the time to learn to cook. Or could even afford to do so

[nocturne flicker]

It is addicting and easy, of course they will

[sage sluice]

Minimum wage where i live is 7.25 an hour

There are still people making minimum wage here

People quite literally cant afford FOOD for an hour of work

[nocturne flicker]

TN go brrr. Minimum wage law? Who needs it

[sage sluice]

When 60% of food across the ENTIRE united states gets chucked in a bin

[sage sluice]

Tn hates its people i swear

At least college is more affordable here

[fresh timber]

ugh

[sage sluice]

And no income tax

High sales tax tho

That high sales tax extorts tourists but also us too <3

Its like 11%

[nocturne flicker]

Uh, the max allowed should be 9.75

[fresh timber]

$15 minumal still aint enough 😦

[nocturne flicker]

State is 7 and local max is 2.75

[fresh timber]

i need like $500 worth of stuff to make my setup look nice, a non crappy montior arm, cable managment stuff, good long powerbar, cable trey, longer displayport cables, ethernet cable.. you kow what ima just pretend money doesnt exist

[fresh timber]

federal minumal should me $12 or something

or they should make it refelect overall cost of living

[nocturne flicker]

Sales tax

[fresh timber]

sales tax

abolish it

or include it in prices

im tired of guessing if i have enough for a purchass

[sage sluice]

THIS

But they never will

Theyll find any excuse tbf

[nocturne flicker]

That would be replacing it with VAT. The problem is that the only people wanting VAT in the US want it on top of sales tax so they can slash income tax

[sage sluice]

Tbf on average its a much larger deficit between boosting min wage and store prices raising to begin with, like 10% min wage increase to 1% or so sales price

It depends on the state too

Some states react more to wage changes, typically more in the bible belt

But no, there isnt really much stopping these companies besides competition

Its only worth raising if everyone does it

But that scary part is if everyone does it

Once min gets an increase median raises more over time

Until it kinda cancels out

Companies will always take more and more inch by inch until the money isnt worth anything

[fresh timber]

What do you think a fair country wide sales tax would be?

[sage sluice]

5%

[nocturne flicker]

None

Replace with income tax

[fresh timber]

So higher income tax?

[sage sluice]

Yeah that too

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[fresh timber]

I’m goodddd

[sage sluice]

Tax the way it functions now is so broken

The rich can afford to find loopholes to pay less

[fresh timber]

Yeah

I barley understand it

[sage sluice]

Big loopholes like write offs

[fresh timber]

My mommy will do it for me so idccccc

[nocturne flicker]

Well yes. That is why the IRS needs to be heavily funded so they can deal with the army of lawyers

[sage sluice]

Yet the irs wont hesitate to pocket more

[nocturne flicker]

The IRS has been chronically underfunded. And when they are chronically underfunded they focus on the easy cases rather than the ones caused by the rich abusing the system

[sage sluice]

Honestly insurance needs to be entirely restructured, its proven we cant have an entirely free market at this point, necessities should have so much more regulation, stuff people need to live that are taken advantage of

Why isnt water free still

[fresh timber]

because private comapnys handel water

thast why

[nocturne flicker]

Private health Insurance is just paying the mob to not break your knee caps when you go to the doctor

[fresh timber]

and its not free to make water

[nocturne flicker]

And then they break your knee caps anyways

[sage sluice]

It isnt free, but its such a bare minimum

[fresh timber]

and to be fair theirs plenty of ways to get free water

your paying for the luxary of having it sent to your home,

[nocturne flicker]

I don't have a problem paying for ready access to clean drinking water. My problem is that there is somebody profiting on a basic necessity

[fresh timber]

blaem the government

i dont think the water companys even do anything evil tbh

if free water was to exist the government should pay these private companys

they got billions to spend on that

[nocturne flicker]

Why should they pay private companies to provide a basic necessity and for them to skim off the top? That is actual wasted money

[sage sluice]

That is kinda where my problem lay

[fresh timber]

how do u propse they clean the water?

that cost money

[nocturne flicker]

Do they require a profit margin in order to clean water

[fresh timber]

its a private company so yes, if u want it to be no profit have the governemnt take over

[worthy meteor]

Nationalize the industry, tax money pays for it plus bare minimum fees :p

[nocturne flicker]

Exactly

Nationalize the public utilities

[fresh timber]

excatly

that makes sense

i can see a bill if u like.. over use it

if ur ass is using 50% more than the average home your doing something worng

@nocturne flicker nationazlied eletricty and gas?

what u think

should that be free or nah

[nocturne flicker]

Who said anything about free?

[fresh timber]

in my opinion it should be an allowance before u have to pay

[fresh timber]

i mean if the governemtn is paying for it

i already pay through taxes

[nocturne flicker]

I am perfectly fine with billing as long as that billing is maintaining or expanding services and not going into excessive profit

[fresh timber]

that makes sense

[nocturne flicker]

Unless of course the function of billing would be replaced with taxes, then no bills are fine

[fresh timber]

can we please normolize cheap intenet

[sage sluice]

Holy

[fresh timber]

i think billing would make more sense because not everyone lives in a home, and needs to pay for scuh

[nocturne flicker]

Infact shunting into higher taxes with less individual bills would be more effective as the administrative overhead would be reduced

[sage sluice]

True

I wish we had a mix of private and free Healthcare

[nocturne flicker]

Healthcare or health insurance?

[sage sluice]

Insurance moreso

But

[worthy meteor]

So true

[fresh timber]

i think in the current world the best solution would be the governemnt paying the utility companys

[nocturne flicker]

It'd be easier but it'd waste more money

[hoary zodiac]

I had to keep rigging the elections because the funny yellow party keeps taking charge and closing my factories

[worthy meteor]

I like subsidizing arty in Vic 2, it'll cost quite a bit for a while but you can get a huge market share

[fresh timber]

it would waste more money convicing these ceos of these masive companys to sell to the government

[hoary zodiac]

I subsidize everything as a GP

[nocturne flicker]

That is basically what the ACA does for health insurance and it does very little to manage the cost of health insurance

[hoary zodiac]

if not GP I just get sphered

[worthy meteor]

I like state cap, capitalists still get to build autonomously and I still have control for what I want

[fresh timber]

health insurance is kinad expensive ngl

im like $600 a month

off my moms

[hoary zodiac]

yeah state cap is great because I don't get an artillery deficit

[tranquil pebble]

Tomorrow is OLED day (take 2)... this time without the damaged screen

[worthy meteor]

I subsidize and expand anything that I want, and I build the rest based off profit

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

that might be a good idea tbh

[fresh timber]

wanna know i wish we had, water u can drink out the tap

[hoary zodiac]

I usually subsidize everything because industrialisation is good anyways

[worthy meteor]

I usually subsidize artillery and steel, the rest I don't really care for

[hoary zodiac]

they stop going red after a while

especially if you have colonies with the input goods

[fresh timber]

ok i lied, i can drink my tap water

[worthy meteor]

Generally you'll end up with more factories than you do workers so no reason to subsidize industries that eat up workers for no gain

[fresh timber]

lake michigan water dont taste like chemicals

[nocturne flicker]

The ACA says if you have income less than X amount and your employer doesn't provide affordable or good enough health insurance, you can get a tax credit that pays part of your premiums for you. And surprise surprise, putting a bandaid on a system design to maximize cost doesn't reduce the maximization of cost

[hoary zodiac]

so like

the size 13 furniture factory in silesia

[fresh timber]

hear me out, governemnt insurance that doesnt suck and has lots of gatchas

[worthy meteor]

Lmao

[hoary zodiac]

Laissez faire actually works sometimes

for a properly industrialised nation

[worthy meteor]

It works pretty well because it also has buffs

[hoary zodiac]

if you build up properly Laissez faire actually doesn't tank your economy and grows it

which is good because I don't have to do eco micro

[worthy meteor]

Forgot the specifics because I haven't played vic2 in a while

[hoary zodiac]

although it is annoying when they close down my small arms factories

[worthy meteor]

That's why state cap is the way to go lol

[nocturne flicker]

I'm in favor of a single payer, universal public healthcare system, yes

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I have to go reactionary as Prussia

[worthy meteor]

Although usually I don't build much small arms because there's really little demand

[hoary zodiac]

build my stuff

[fresh timber]

everyone under 18 is covered automaticly, with good coverage, over 18.. save coverage but maybe you need to be in school, working, trying to find work, figureing ur life out and such, if ur just a bum on the street who CHOOSES to not do anything productive.. why would i pay for u??

[hoary zodiac]

and let the elections go back to conservative

then repeat whenever I need to build

[worthy meteor]

Idk I usually just want jingoist + state cap or anything like that

Doesn't matter what other policies they have

[hoary zodiac]

Prussia has only a couple parties

at least early game

[worthy meteor]

Most only have a few

[hoary zodiac]

Prussia's conservative party is Jingoist + Protectionism

It's ok for not having my factories shut down but I can't build either

Other countries are more fun

[worthy meteor]

I think they have a militarist state cap one

[hoary zodiac]

HPM?

[worthy meteor]

I know I used state cap when I did super Germany

I use no mods all dlcs

[sage sluice]

Why is discord pressuring me to gift valentines nitro so much oml

[hoary zodiac]

I think DoD Bohemia is state cap for the conservative party

[nocturne flicker]

Merit based systems add a lot more overhead and bureacracy and opens a system up to more loopholes, traps and flaws

Universal, single payer is the way

[hoary zodiac]

and eunuchs

[fresh timber]

disgusting loopholes

[velvet summit]

it's kinda weird in games when you see a skeleton sitting up instead of being just a pile of bones, because at that point of decomposition, there is nothing holding the bones together

[tranquil pebble]

touhou balloon

[velvet summit]

so there is no reason for a skeleton to be able to stay upright unless it's being held together with like a titanium rod or whatever

[nocturne flicker]

The bones have connection bones duh

[sage sluice]

The plot relevance is holding them together

[velvet summit]

💀

[nocturne flicker]

The souls are keeping them together out of sheer spite

[sage sluice]

The souls took inspiration from impractical jokers

[nocturne flicker]

So that one day they get necro'ed and become a skeleton archer that jabs you with tiny bone arrows

[velvet summit]

lmao

[fresh timber]

uGH

i need new intake fans

they making a slight but audible squeeling sound

[sage sluice]

Where do they get those bones from

[nocturne flicker]

The ribs

[velvet summit]

sleeve fans? you can just put another drop of light machine oil and i'll run for another few years

[sage sluice]

The remains of overworked devs

[fresh timber]

i use thermal alright fans

[velvet summit]

thermal alright

💀

[fresh timber]

listen i cant buy anymore deepcool fans

[velvet summit]

also im asking about the bearing type not the brand LMFAO

[nocturne flicker]

They make a rib bone into the bone bow and then they use excess finger bones to shoot at you

[fresh timber]

cause THEY ARE BANNED

[fresh timber]

idk what bearing it uses man, i only know cars

[velvet summit]

💀

[sage sluice]

Too much creativity

[velvet summit]

what fan model is it then

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, you are right, the bow and arrows materialize from the aether TARDIS style

When they run out of excess finger bones they use teeth

Flick them at you like stones in a handheld slingshot

[velvet summit]

ok fluid dynamic bearings, so it's sealed up

not worth the effort then

[fresh timber]

should i get new fans

i got the cash

[velvet summit]

well, actually, isnt sfdb just sleeve bearings

[fresh timber]

i need to get reverse blade anyways

[mortal grail]

Super flower dynamic bearings

[nocturne flicker]

I don't think this has a bearing on the situation
