The peanut butter?

@NoMad
Yeah, what I like about this system is that it is setting independent. So it can be used to play Harry Potter, Avatar the Last Airbender, Full Metal Alchemist, or probably Dev theme as well. -
I have been summoned!
Open Legend RPG rules for those interested: https://openlegendrpg.com/core-rule...
Yes, it's free :) -
"One should be a complete person."
I relate to this part. -
This reminds me of My Chemical Romance's last album (Danger Days). Had a weird version of the American Anthem too I think.

I usually say "Fucking up is part of the learning process."

@kiki
Got any more in your collection? -
Nice knife. OTF.

@ChaoticGoods
Oh I'm not trying to argue against that. I'm just saying that we've had this fight before so we should learn from the last one. -
@ChaoticGoods
I mean that when things got bad for working people, they started to demand better. So socialist parties began to rise in popularity. FDR basically gave them some of the things they were fighting for. But a few decades later it's basically reverted back.
So I'm wondering that if we resolve some of the things that people are starting to fight for now, if we won't repeat history a 3rd time.
Because the super rich still buy and own our politicians. -
@ChaoticGoods
To what you were saying earlier about mixed economy. I am hesitant. Mostly because what happened in the US. During FDR's days we got social security, minimum wage, strong unions, and high taxes for the super rich.
But these people (the 1%, the super rich) still have a lot of power, and over time these have been basically reversed. We're starting to see signs of this in Europe as well. -
@Demolishun @Fast-Nop
No one is advocating for anything. We're simply talking about economics. If you can't handle a big boy conversation I suggest leaving while you can. -
@ChaoticGoods
I think the other issue is that the economy doesn't exist in a vacuum. There's political, military, and other factors. Which is why we see colonial countries (where industry is own by the colonizer country's business men) fight for their independence and to use their resources to help their own people.
We see this in countries like Ireland, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. Different results, from similar starting positions. -
@ChaoticGoods
Also the professor was years ago. The Boomer was the other day, and was mostly arguing that my job is easy because it's a desk job. -
@ChaoticGoods
Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't use general statements like that. Same in philosophy. I've met cool people, and arrogant assholes.
Later on I learned more out of curiosity. It seems to me that Marxist economics and modern economic are not answering the same question. IDK that's what I got when reading about Marginalism and Labor Theory of Value, for example. -
@ChaoticGoods
I'm not too fond of economist or econ professors. I remember when I tried to apply what they thought us about self employment how to set your price thing. And the professor did not like that, called me a Marxist basically.
I didn't know much of Marx at the time and asked if they meant "The factory guy?". Boy did that not go well xD -
@Demolishun
Yes, respect for our medical professionals. Fucking bastards deserve a fucking medal. Or hazard pay... -
@JustThat
LOL this made my day I think. I shouldn't have found it as funny as I did. -
@Hazarth
Ah my bad. Just got annoyed by this person. But I'm over it by now. -
@Lyym
No one I have to deal with again. But was surprised by the ignorance enough to post this. -
@Hazarth
Yeah, but I'm sure you would be annoyed if some Boomer called it easy and not a real job. And argue that you should be paid less. -
Pretty sure mine has it. Ring, vibrate, and silent.

Me, a millennial, when I was being thought about money, jobs, and wages as a child...

@uyouthe
That sounds pretty cool. Good luck with that project. -
I have a pretty shit sense of smell, usually can't pick up things other people do.
Sense of hearing on the other hand. Especially when I wake up, I can hear everything in the house. People walking, talking, cooking.
