^ atm, I'm playing as a Warrior of Sunlight in DS3, where I help other players beating their bosses. I neglected this part during my first playthrough, but it's kinda fun. I like these Warriors of sunlight, they make it their primary goal to help others.

I see. Yes, I've heard DS3's DLCs have short lifespan. I'm watching videos of Bloodborne to see if I like the lore. I'm not sure I like to see guns in this game, but I'll see. I definitely liked "Remnant: from the ashes", who is a souls like with guns, but it was a bit different.

I love the Drinker! He's always very funny and spot on!

Yes, it's definitely a question of relativity. There's the relativity with the price of goods, but also with the welfare services and with the international wages. The modern Western State will try to act on the first two (inflation and welfare), but they have a blind spot when it comes to the international competition. It's because they have a mental block that's been forged by decades of propaganda which says that protecting your economy is a belligerent act (they will all refer to what happened after 1929). Of course, they are partially right, but only partially. You can't become isolationist, but the choice is not just between two extremes. You can protect your citizens by writing laws/regulations that limits goods from countries with bad working conditions or bad environmental policies (it's often linked). All in all, as I said, $7 is too low, but $15 is too high. It's a matter of balance. They could start by raising it to $10 and at the same time try to limit goods that are imported from certain countries. That would be really bold, but they won't do it (also, because their big funders are corporations that benefit from cheap international labor - like Blackrock, the douches who try to paint themselves as "the good guys" by using the far left's rhetoric).

The US media is very low quality (it's not the case elsewhere). Their main goal is to serve whatever ideology is in power. It's a tool to separate themselves from the "plebs". The rest is merely details for them. Seing people on reddit doing something scares the CNN journalist in his million dollar mansion... at the same time, Blackrock (the biggest douches of the universe) annouced they now embrace identity politics. Identity is today's "transcendence", and even if I think it's a destructive ideology, people will cling to this shit until they find a new transcendence. The MSM in ther US will always prefer a guy that looks like Dicaprio in the Wolf of WS (who wears $5,000 suits, but is a thief) than the Redditor (who did nothing illegal, but wears average sweaters, while playing Call of Duty). The media were never about defending the little guys.

I'm wondering if I should buy Bloodborne or DS3's DLCs...

@Matt! Well done Sweden. Good match.

The original Robinhood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. The app "Robinhood" blocked transactions made by small shareholders (which looks like they decided to fleece small shareholders to protect the big ones). Here's an article. Sorry, it's in French, but I don't trust Murican press anymore. The French press is not perfect (far from it), but it's more honest IMHO. https://www.numerama.com/business/685643-robinhood-tout-comprendre-a-lapp-de-trading-au-coeur-de-la-polemique-entre-reddit-et-wall-street.html

It's funny how Robinhood turned out to be the exact opposite of what its name stands for. People who call themselves "the good guys" are often way worse than we think...

I like what these kids from Reddit did. Hedge funds like Melvin Capital plead for free market all day, but when they have it, they cry their eyes out. As for the MSM, saying the word "alt right" is like blowing Pavlov's whistle: it signals all the NPCs that they have to be angry (the signal bypasses their brains ). It's like when Disney's press called us "Russian trollbots" for not liking TLJ... Thankfully, our press here in France is much more factual (even if they are not perfect either).

Season 2: it keeps getting better. I actually start to think it's better than the movies (certainly better than the sequels - it might be a tie with the original movie).

Interesting and I think that's a really good definition.

The debate on minimal wage is not easy. Otherwise we'd all have a unique solution for all countries and everything would be fine. Politicians who claim to have obvious solutions with no drawbacks whatsoever are either demagogues or people who think economics is an exact science, which is not the case (far from it). A too low minimal wage means "working poor". A too high minimal wage means unemployement. All the Keynesian arguments are partly true and their relevance depends on the perimiter. But the thing is that we're in a connected world. Producers in a given country are in competition (at least partly) with other countries. The minimal wage in India is around 1$ per hour (and 1.5$ in China). Not all jobs are in competition with international markets (e.g. hairdressers are not) and the wage is not the only part of production costs, so it's more complicated than that. But you can't ignore what happens elsewhere if your country is open. It's not all black and white. 7$ per hour is low for a Western economy. But 15 $ per hour is VERY high. But you guys do what you want. You'll see. Learning by experience is the best way.

@Michael* Hey, Michael, thanks for the list, that's a really good idea and it's helpful. I just wanted to know if it was made to be exhaustive? Because there are lots of deleted threads that don't appear on this list. https://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/89202-for-reference-removed-model-threads/
