Merlin might be able to pull an associates out of his ass, but I would bet anything that a Bachelors is not in his future.

God damn healthcare is beyond fucked up in this country. I don't see how the ACA is improving much of anything except for a small, small % of people. At this point I hope it goes down in flames and takes the private insurance industry down with it. Single-payer, universal health care that not...

I think you need to get out more. I'm definitely going to go out and enjoy a couple beers and some foosball with some school bros tonight. It's been a helluva week.

I need to download this episode. Stat.

Lol, I don't think even the garglechimps are dumb enough to fall for that one.

God damnit you just made me waste 5 mins staring at that diagram again.

Everyone that thinks economics is a real science, raise their hands.

Are you saying Economics is a science? Just because it has trends that can be analyzed and metrics that are statistically powerful doesn't make it a science. You can do all the same things with horse racing or any other kind of sports handicapping and be successful if you know the secret...

I agree with that. And I also took an Ochem test today, second semester ochem, but still. I don't know how Hodj has the time to post in this thread as much as he does, lol. Entertaining though, keep it up bros.

Wow, that's fucking pathetic.

Thank you. We asked Dumar that question at least half a dozen times and never got a straight answer. I don't necessarily agree with it, but at least its a straight answer, put simply without a 3 page academic lecture on the background of production or whatever. My problem with that is, what...

Awesome

You can discuss quantum mechanics in broad strokes in layman's terms without a degree in physics. - Albert Einstein.

Dude, it doesn't have fanaskin or merlin shitting everything up, its no wonder.

Godamn, I spent the summer on Flathead Lake in Montana and that's no joke. Fucking Margarita Mondays at this bar called the Raven. Jesus Christ. Luckily the cops are cool as shit up there and my confused, drunk, (possibly drugged!) ass got a friendly ride home in the front seat from the...

Little late to the party, but no shit you're no Don Juan, hahhah. No dude with even a thimble full of game has ever referred to getting laid as "acted on". Jesus dude. You can't be for real. All that's left is for your to start spelling women.... womyn.

I've never been able to make it all the way through Avatar. Tried three times, thought it was god awful. If you haven't watched Cool Hand Luke in the past couple years then you aren't a real man. Truth.

Honestly, I really don't give that much of a shit either way. It was an amusing distraction for a few days, but my brain is better left thinking about meta populations, reduction in biodiversity, and ecological impacts caused by human perturbations.

I think a calm and rational Mik is a better advocate for his cause than the stuck in academia speak and tone of Dumar's. I have been convinced that the Maoist and Stalinist regimes are not truly indicative of the ideals and goals espoused by Marx and therefore aren't by definition, Marxist...

Wassup my nuggers.

Hah hah

Admit it, you're institutionalized anyway.

As you work through Ochem I homework, make sure you really, really, really learn Sn1, Sn2, E1 and E2 rxn mechanisms....its been 3 semesters since i took ochem I and I'm having to relearn all that shit. FML.

Someone has to make the decision as to how that farm/factory will be utilized or else it will go fallow. Who makes that decision in a world without property rights?

I will take your word for it that Maoism != Stalinism=!Leninism!=Marxism, but common sense and intuition tells us that abolishing the concept of personal property will inevitably lead to violence and bloodshed. At least in a world of finite energy and resources. What happens to Khalid's...

Lol. I do appreciate the conversation and Dumar's efforts to educate. However I have to believe that history is shown that too much of one thing is always a bad thing. That pic from 4chan a few posts up really cemented it into my head. There are just too many people on this planet and too...

Ya but you want capitalists to educate baby capitalists about the evils of capitalism. It can't happen in America in my lifetime, that's for sure.

So can i take my character and some of his gear over to an easycore world before i get too invested in this one or do i have to make a whole new character?

The problem with educating people about communism in America is the word. No way anyone in this country will ever have an open mind about it. A war of ideas is certainly preferable to wholesale slaughter, but for communism to work you have to take peoples toys away from them and I don't see...

My vote for worst poster, is and always will be merlin. Its not even close.

So I died last night and logged off cause i was tired, all my gear was gone where I died when i logged back on this morning. WTF is shit??? I had a lot of stuff that's going to be hard to replace

Lol, just died wearing my backup armor halfway back and now I'm naked with a silver broadsword trying to get back to the second corpse and just got a message that a goblin army is invading from the east. Both my corpses are to the east, hah hah. This game is awesome.

Seasonal Affected Disorder is a real thing.

My question for Dumar would be, do you think humanity needs to go further on the socialism scale than the Scandinavian countries have gone? It seems to me that they have it pretty dialed in as far as running a society goes with just the right mix of socialism and capitalism. The poorest and...

Just triggered the brain of cthulu unwittingly and now all my shit is at the bottom of a dungeon. Is it going to camp my corpse?

Oh man, thanks. Helps a ton.

How do you get the game to tell you whether its valid housing or not?

By allowing someone to take you on a tangent you allow them to control the direction of the argument and keep you from probing their weaknesses, which in this case is the obvious outcome whenever communism has been attempted. From my seats in the bleachers, it seemed that you never shortly...

I never claimed that Hodj claimed he was the smartest. I don't have a dog in this fight, I like both of 'em. But I do agree that Mik needs to work on controlling his temper and name calling if he wants to be taken more seriously.

Ya but you allowed them to take you off on that tangent instead of ignoring that argument and sticking with that one simple question; why do the 'attempts' at communism always devolve into forced labor camps and wholesale slaughter? What are the underlying forces at work that keep communism...
