Can't be bashing rich people doing rich people things because it might be sexist

I'm the kid who got these and heely's banned at my school. Was quite the trend setter in elementary.

why not ship a standalone game?

Hasbro owns the ip and it's way cheaper to use someone else's license and make changes than to get your own license.

It's a fluff story ffs why dissect it this kills the frog

Sounds like a food

There are less than 10k people here I already know them.

at a shitty dive bar in the bigger metro area late on a weeknight

So drive 2 hours to go to a place that doesn't interest me? I'd have to drive even further for a hobby club.

Guessing you don't live in a small town

The reason they give for shooting ambulances is that Hamas has used ambulances to move soldiers.

If you were calling Israel hypocrites you should have added something to the end of this sentence because it reads like you're saying Hamas did it and then attempted to provide an example. Text based sarcasm requires a bit more effort if you don't want to be misunderstood.

Reading comprehension ain't for everyone

Edit just in case you think you read it right here sky news on the war crime https://news.sky.com/story/idf-admits-serious-offence-after-using-vehicle-marked-ambulance-in-raid-in-which-a-grandmother-was-killed-13288120

anti-gun extremists

Wut

That is a way better example than I was planning on using if this kept going thanks

In scenarios such as this, its better to spread the word about the original intention of the phrase, rather than blaming it.

Good news don't travel so fast. Changing the term to something harder to make derogatory would be a much better solution.

No, why do you think that is the case? Most wages are paid out based on what the market fr that job pays not based on whether it is skilled or unskilled. My brother makes more in sales (unskilled) than my buddy who is a neurosurgeon.

Because I've heard people use it as an excuse for why minimum wage shouldn't cover bills and they vote accordingly. Language matters.

It’s scientific jargon. If you are having an emotional response to it that’s not the fault if the field.

Scientific jargon can and has changed to better represent what they're talking about no reason this can't either unless that makes some people too... emotional.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Guessing you were thinking of Saving Silverman?

It's an emotional response to point out how a word has been used to keep people from being paid what they're worth? I think it's an emotional response to cling so hard to a word that could very easily be changed and hurt no one.

Just because it's a term you learned in school doesn't mean it's not used to hold people back. The term is used to imply that people who aren't skilled don't deserve a living wage and lots of voters fall for it and push the narrative that if you flip burgers you don't deserve to pay rent on time and go to the movies on the same month.

win fake internet points?

Don't even get those here

I had a DND character who only ever slept on the ground. Eventually we found ourselves in a dungeon and the only ground was rock so my character decided to try a bed for the first time. DM made me roll for how well I slept and I got a nat 20. My character spent the next day figuring out how to take that bed with him everywhere.
