Careful, you’re very close to acknowledging that men have problems of their own and we don’t do that. That’s the patriarchy talking.

Yeah it makes sense it’s just funny looking. Like the devs skinned each character and made a pelt rug out of them.

The fact that texture files of characters are flattened out never fails to get a laugh out of me. I get the function of it but they look so ridiculous it’s hard not to giggle when you see it

Bright side is that they’re out of the house by 45. Still though, I’d rather be relatively free of responsibilities at 25 than 45.

Wherever you live has people that believe every one of those things and more, with the possible exception of imperial measurements. The idiots in America just seem better at getting other people to listen to them.

Haha fair enough. Although I didn’t mean that specifically, just weird sexual content in general.

I wouldn’t necessarily say it fixes problems and if it does it certainly isn’t free of cost in more than one way. I do think it can temporarily lessen some anxieties that one might view as obstacles to happiness because they impede one’s ability to engage in meaningful social interaction. I also think that making friends and finding romantic partners are learned behaviors that you need practice to get good at. If alcohol can help you be social enough to make friends in a new place or find a partner then I can see why someone would say it fixed a problem for them. It’s certainly more expedient and cost effective than therapy to get past your hangups would be.
That said, that sort of “responsible” use of alcohol isn’t without its drawbacks and risks. I don’t know how common it is either. Perhaps that’s just what people who like to drink tell themselves to avoid feeling shame about their behavior.

I also am extremely socially awkward
That’s what the booze is supposed to help with. Whether or not it does is up for debate but it certainly makes you worry less and that’s a huge part of awkwardness.
- Comment on Microsoft Pushes Xbox Division to Hit Higher Profit Margins 5 weeks ago:
Like any proposal you would have to word it in a way that minimizes loopholes initially, as well as muster the political will to close any new loopholes that come up.
Off the top of my head, you would probably want to use averages in some way. Perhaps use the median income of the bottom 20% of domestic wage earners in a given company, with some sort of multiplier or additional penalty for offshore employees. You would also want to ensure all forms of executive compensation like bonuses and stock options are included in the equation.
There’s probably more you would need to include but those 3 things would minimize the most obvious loopholes I can see.

- Comment on Microsoft Pushes Xbox Division to Hit Higher Profit Margins 5 weeks ago:
Cap executive pay at 12x the lowest paid employee in the company. You can’t make more in one month than the drones make in a year. If you want a raise make sure everyone else gets one too.
- Comment on JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon sounds warning on US stock market fall 1 month ago:
Perhaps I read into the structure of your comment too much but it really looked to me like you were making a definite statement about it and not simply contrasting the two options. Apologies if that was not your intent.
- Comment on JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon sounds warning on US stock market fall 1 month ago:
The fact that you don’t think there’s anything wrong with separating morals from the profit motive of capitalism tells us exactly why the world is the way it is.

Even your exaggerated example requires 6 months of strenuous training to achieve by your own admission. The average person we’ve been discussing has not recently completed 6 months of military endurance training.

I’m in decent shape and I couldn’t run at full speed with that much weight on me. I do a fair amount of backpacking in the mountains with a 50 lb pack on my back so that isn’t conjecture either, I’ve tried it recently.
Simple physics says you’d also have a harder time starting, stopping, and turning than an unencumbered person. Perhaps you are an exceptional athlete who truly wouldn’t be bothered by the extra weight but I don’t think that would apply to the vast majority of people. Your average person would definitely struggle and I doubt most ICE agents are going to fall into the exceptional category of anything but racism and moral bankruptcy.
