So, less than 10% of the previous amount, for very specific borrowers, and decreased collection on loans that never should have had such high interest rates to begin with (or really, they should have no interest - it's an investment in the people, and their taxes go up with their income. That's where the government makes it's money back.)
Not enough. Disband the fucking Supreme Court or pack judges. Bring in a better representative number in House and Senate. It doesn't matter anymore because public trust in government, and especially in the SCOTUS is dead.
Quit pussyfooting around.
Big ol' post below:
Every LARP has a different system, which in our game is light-touch(1) and kinda light-hearted. We use latex weapons like those from Forgotten Dreams and Mytholon (two manufacturers I know of off hand), and there's a hit point system, and vocally called damage and skills with different effects.
Example: Hitting an opponent and calling "Strength 5" indicates to the opponent that they need to take 5 steps away from the attacker in the direction the attacker chooses. They also take basic weapon damage of 1 HP in this transaction.
While every LARP has its own system, there is a lot of overlap because of the limitations presented by a physical (ie. in-person) system. You can do a way larger swath of things in a tabletop.
Look for LARPs in your area online, and I'm sure you'll find a few.
(1)Different games handle it differently, but we have players stemming from single digits to upper double digits, and we try to be accommodating to the needs of a diverse age group with varying degrees of disability.
Seriously, you'd think people could just be happy for someone's happiness, instead of being miserable. I'm over those feelings. You don't have to like the same stuff to get along.
Primary motto: Do your best not to hurt anyone, but otherwise do what you want. Enjoy life while you have it.
Secondary motto: Enjoy seeing other people's happiness. Sometimes giving up something (small) you want for someone else to have something they really want (or even need) feels even better.
Have fun, and do good. Thanks for your kind words 😊
Red Dead Redemption 2 for so many reasons.
RDR2, but the single player. RDO is meh, but the single player game is just a beautiful slice of mythologized Americana. It has gorgeous scenery, an amazing soundtrack, and a level of immersion i haven't felt in any game since. I love that game.
I'm a semi-secretive LARPer. I pack my stuff at night, don't talk to my coworkers about it, and just go about my life as if I don't.
I've found people are pretty judgy about it, so I just don't mention that I enjoy getting into a neat costume, playing some little mini-games, having a drink or six, camping, and (most importantly) seeing my friends once a month in a structured activity.
It's fun stuff if you find the right group. That last part is hard.
It appeals to a broad group of new users, and Lemmy needs posts. I think it's ok for a few days or even weeks. It's topical - people are going to talk about something important to them. To tell them to shut up, and/or to shove it makes them feel unwelcome, which is counter to the growth Lemmy needs.
Sometimes it's ok to be annoyed by something, but to recognize it's worth to others.
That just means not to have PIV sex. No biggy - gay men have a tendency to avoid that.
I was just commiserating with my wife about how we both exhibit a bunch of signs of ADHD but can't get medicated because doctors are highly discouraged from prescribing them, because of the misuse associated with them.
GPs won't prescribe them because of societal pressure, and yet there is also a nationwide shortage of psychiatrists.
The end result is that people who need something to get them to baseline suffer because politicians need to make a hammer-style policy for a scalpel-style problem.
I was saying this exact thing a few weeks ago when I heard the boardwalk announce no one could have a backpack past 8 pm. As if a backpack itself was a special bag, and not just a bag a young kid from out of town (ie. their family can't afford a shorehouse) would probably have.
Then I looked around, and saw a bunch of adults - especially parents - wearing and carrying them, unaccosted, post 8 pm. Suddenly it made sense. Backpacks weren't the goal, but they could certainly kick anyone with a backpack off the boardwalk at any time.
