Most people in WoW and Souls games use it to mean someone who purposely remains lower level but gets better gear.
Ie. Staying under a soul level to PvP with a certain level of player using late game gear. (PvP in Souls games is based on soul level brackets)
Both. The WoW term (which is actually from Ultima Online originally) comes from the queer term.
No. Fascist WANT to be called pieces of shit. They WANT you to hate them. They can’t STAND being valued weird. That’s why it works. Fascist like being despised, it makes them feel powerful and important.
The reason for this is that homeschool advocacy groups are all far right grifters laundering money like PragerU and the HSLDF. The homeschool to alt-right pipeline is real.
JD Vance once again gets caught essentially saying he hates women? Colour me not surprised. I’m very surprised this man has children.
The term you are looking for is “twink”
I’ll take “winwing not charging $300 for what’s realistically half the quality of VKB” over trying to land a real plane… and I own a PA28.
A river delta is where it meets a lake or the ocean. Where you would find brackish water for a fresh water river like the Amazon or Mississippi Rivers
The ends justify the means?
Hypotheticaly then: if I had a 100% guarantee that murdering all babies would get them into heaven, but you’d go to hell, is it morally right to murder all babies? The ends justify the means, do they not? We need to get babies to heaven! So murder them all!
No, it’s absolutely still monstrous. Because utilitarianism is stupid.
Y’know most of us audiophiles are managing actual libraries… but they’re not mp3. Mines mostly flac.
Except I’m not. The only way I’m wrong is if you misunderstand how taxation works. You only pay taxes because you use the services of society. You literally cannot say you don’t, it is next to fucking impossible not to if you have access to the internet in America. You 100% live somewhere that I can guarantee you benefit from tax funded programs. Meaning you are using the services. Those services have a cost, you pay taxes to cover the cost, they use THEIR MONEY (it doesn’t matter if they get it from you, it is THEIR money after you pay it… that’s literally how capitalism works).
Also govt is not all of us. We are NOT a democracy. We are a republic. The govt is made up of REPRESENTATIVES that WE elect to REPRESENT us.
I honestly am surprised you managed to graduate high school given this is information we learn in elementary school. If you struggle with literal 5th grade civics, I’d hate to see how you did in 10th grade economics.
Edit: it’s funny tho that the taxation is theft crowd is often the same ones to defend capitalism. Without capitalism taxation wouldn’t be necessary as you’d decommodify those publicly funded programs. Commodification is a symptom and function of capitalism.
Fundamentally speaking, arguing for the abolition of taxation means you’re advocating for something that began with the Communists.
“I’m forced to pay taxes on things I don’t want” no
“And don’t use” nope.
“So I don’t pay as much” if you use them
Again you’re fundamentally misunderstanding taxation. You’re not paying taxes for those services (I mean, in a way you are but indirectly through cost of services) you pay for the benefits of living in society. You use public roads, you 100% cannot say you don’t because that’s near impossible in America. You use public roads, your utilities get sent through public infrastructure (even when provided by private corporations they utilise public infrastructure in 87.6% of cases), you 100% do use publicly funded services and benefit from taxation.
Anybody who honestly thinks they don’t is fucking delusional.
So for these services and goods, you pay money to the government. Then the government uses THEIR MONEY (because it is NO LONGER YOUR MONEY) to pay for other things. Things you might not use, but it’s not your fucking money. So you don’t get to decide how they spend it. Because it is not your money.
Once paid, that is the government’s money. Not yours. That’s how capitalism fucking works. It’s literal capitalism 101, I learned this in 5th, 7th, and again in 10th grade. Oh, right… you didn’t use public education… guess you should ask the private school you sent your kids to for a refund.
Edit: A list of things you almost definitely use, even if only occasionally, that are funded by taxes
You do realise that regardless of whether you pay tuition, public education taxes were still collected on the assumption your children would possibly go to public schools. Your taxes alone do not fund your SS. Your taxes alone do not fund the things you would have benefited or do benefit from in America.
That’s why they’re paid for with taxes. So you don’t pay as much.
But I guess literal taxation theory 101, the fucking bare basics of tax theory, literally the simplest of the simplest concepts in economics was too difficult to conceptualise for you that you needed it stated plainly.
You’re just proving more and more you don’t understand tax theory and American economics.
“Carnism” that’s the difference between vegans and non-vegans.
Only vegans view their diet as a lifestyle and shit on everyone else who isn’t vegan. We’re not “carnists” we don’t give a fuck really except that we hate vegans. Why? Because you lot are the pushiest, most openly judgemental, arrogant pieces of shit to walk the earth.
Then I call your debt to me for my portion of the taxes I paid for the highways you drive on, the social security you’ll claim when your older, and the 12 years of public education we paid for you and your children…
What? Don’t want to pay that back? Then stfu and deal with it. Taxes are paid for the services rendered (education, medical expenses, highways, etc).
After you pay for the services that money isn’t yours, it’s the government’s. You don’t get to tell other people how to spend their money. You choose to live in society so you choose to accept the services and their costs. The government uses this income, which is their money, and spends it how they see fit.
Don’t like it? Too fucking bad. I didn’t think I would have to explain basic middle school economics to somebody who’s almost definitely a fully grown adult today.
You were allowed to say it. I’m allowed to remove it. Welcome to the world. Don’t like it? Leave.
But also: nobody in the world actually likes the idea of absolutist free speech. The founding fathers certainly didn’t believe in such an idea.
They can say what they want without restraint or restriction. They are not free from the consequences of their words.
They can say what they like. We can ban them if we don’t like it. That’s how free speech works in a consequentialist society (modern Western society is a synthesis of consequentialism and contractualism).
This is free speech. They get to say what they please. They are not free from the consequences of those words however. I, as a private citizen and not a governmental actor, can censor them.
No they also use fascist fear mongering about democracy as well (literally trying to claim aren’t a democracy and Trump openly saying he’d end elections)
