Full trailer for 'Pickmon', an open-world survival game that looks like 'Pokémon' and 'Palworld', except monster capturing is done with “cards”

Oh hello Ceruledge

Wait

Kind of basing this off of some experience with some of them and I kind of don't like the idea where if opening up involves being tolerant to certain views. Like the idea every Trans folks are pedos or they most of the time they are mass shooters LGBTQ+ pride event are actually accepting of MAPs.

Like, what are you going to buy when the first round of payout drops and half or more of the Walmart employees don't show up, or come in as customers to hassle the managers while a flood of people come in to spend their first UBI payment.

Will the store even be functional by 14:00, or will the looting have started?

I think that kind of explosive collapse is a district possibility, especially if the "Trust me bro, it will just work out." mindset becomes a majority.

Alternatively it could be a slower burn as we get a feedback cycle of people being picky about what jobs they take, to employers having to pay more, to prices having to go up to cover higher wages, to the UBI going up, back to people being less willing to work...

Fandom Problem #15,642:

My big problem with fandom lately is … it’s boring.

It’s mostly queer or disability “headcanons” that fans push onto characters so the fan can feel “representation” that doesn’t exist.

Before covid, vaccines were never discussed as being for the purpose of lessening the severity of an illness. They have always been to prevent infection. The polio vaccine doesn't make polio survivable, it makes it so you don't catch it. Cases of polio dropped.

Even when the covid vaccines were first released we were told it would prevent infection and therfore the spread. Only when that became obviously untrue did it shift over to "that's not actually what vaccines are for, they are to lessen the severity."

Smallpox killed countless people over the millennia. The smallpox vaccine didn't "reduce your symptoms" when you contracted smallpox. It prevented you from getting it.

Same for rabies. And tetanus. And numerous other vaccines. It didn't "reduce your symptoms." It prevented you from getting the disease at all.

There's no vaccine for "the common cold" because it's a wide array of similar but not identical (and constantly changing) viruses. The flu is similar, but if you're lucky a given flu vaccine may protect you IF the flu you're exposed to is the one it's designed for. Covid is no different (well, aside from being a dangerous, untested, proven piece of biowarefare).

Expects other people, migrant or not, to take care of their elderly family. If you are walking through life expecting to one day put your folks in a home, you have failed. You're not even trying to succeed.

Expectations for brown migrants are in the dirt. Oh, you came here looking for a better life? Sorry, enjoy backbreaking labor at slave wages (they would never make these insulting sweeping generalizations about Asian immigrants).

Believes certain jobs are meant for a certain class of people, and that the average American is too soft to carry out low-class labor. Simultaneously, they also believe the average American is too stupid to carry out high-class ("sKiLlEd") labor and requires replacement.

The implicit reliance on slave labor is a bleak callback to pre-civil war sentiment among Democrats that the eradication of slavery would crash the economy. To that I say the same thing the abolitionists of the era repeated:
