  • My wife, whose entire history with video games is Sims 3, Animal Crossing: NH, and Pokémon Go, played through this game start to finish and loved it. It wasn’t really made for “gamers”, it was made for Harry Potter fans that wanted to play a Hogwarts game. It didn’t succeed as a gaming revolution, it succeeded in bringing non-gamers to buy it.

    Personally, I love that she got into it whether it’s mid or not, because it introduced her to a lot of the mechanics necessary to play “real” games in the future. And she had a lot of fun.










  • What would stop owners from shifting the burden to the renters?

    As of right now this is already how property taxes are handled by most landlords: mortgage + tax + est. cost to fix incidentals + time managing paperwork = rent (in a fair situation - though most will tack on as much extra for “profit” as they can)

    So if you have a house worth 600k (12k tax), the mortgage is $3500/mo, they would just charge $4500+ a month to cover their costs.

    I think the only way is to add extremely progressive property tax to multiple ownerships, and a name always has to be attached as “owner”. So your first house and second might have limited property taxes, but your third would be double, fourth would be quadruple, fifth would be 8x etc.




  • Dawg I am literally left as fuck - I wasn’t saying it was both sides at all. I’m saying each side individually has their own reasons for answering the question the way they did. Do you think conservatives make up more than 60% of the population?

    It would be like asking “Do you think the government provides the right amount of welfare?”

    Most people would say “no” because you’d have Republicans saying Gov provides too much welfare, and Democrats saying Gov doesn’t provide enough welfare.

    Dropping a blanket statement like “This country is filled with idiots” is SIGNIFICANTLY more “both sides” than my point was.
