Nothing on a consistent basis or right now.

But actually was thinking of playing Okami HD that I had on my steam list and that game was originally released in 2006.

Just need to tax properly and seriously think about some form of UBI or maybe just BI for those under a certain income level.

Also I agree with the following post. I've always thought that it should be law that successful companies pay a scaling % of the profits to their employees depending on their position so that the CEO can't just give all profit to themselves only. Honestly it should be hard to get a job working for a successful fast food or retail business rather than less successful fast food, or local restaurants or startups but this might change the system too much for dummies to easily get jobs because they have to look around more for openings. Although with some form of UBI or BI it would be easier to adjust to.

The concept seems nice enough, but in practice, it'd be too easy to get around to make any real difference. Cap it at $1 billion, and you just get multibillionaires paying some random people $10,000 a year each to hold on to $500 million for them until they want to access it, or continuing to hide it in offshore tax havens like they currently do to avoid paying taxes on it, or even just giving it away to friends and family members instead of letting it be taxed away and used for public benefit. It wouldn't be impossible to make it work, but it's going to entail outfoxing a whole lot of very highly-paid accountants and lawyers, and the sheer cost of the audits required to enforce it long-term could very well outweigh the potential benefits.

Rather than a hard cap, if you want to cut down on wealth disparity, minimum wage should instead be defined as a percentage of the highest wage (including bonuses) in the company. If a CEO wants to make more money, they must first pay all of their bottom-rung staff more money as well (and, by extension, everyone else in between). Growth remains possible, just not to the explosive, exploitative degree that's currently standard, and that growth benefits everybody that contributes to it.

This is always the response to such ideas, but I think it fundamentally misrepresents the issue. The vast majority of people saying such things do feel that, for the most part, the financial elite have earned the privilege to live the rest of their lives in complete luxury. Nobody's saying they don't deserve to be rich. The problem is that they've often hoarded enough money to live thousands of such lives, more money than can ever possibly be justified as useful or meaningful for a single person, and their removal of that money from the economy is very bad for it.

Zero. If I'm gonna consume something sugary it's gonna be a drink because it makes it a little more satisfying than a bitter drink.

Older black voters are more conservative-leaning than young black voters. In general, older registered voters are more likely to actually vote compared to young registered voters. Also, being the VP to the first black president resonates for people; they'll connect Biden back to Obama's leadership.

I wonder what percent of young black citizens from 18-35~ish actually voted in 2016

I mean, they didn't "pick him", the Democrat voters did in the primaries.
Diving a bit deeper, Biden won because he had crushingly overwhelming support from black voters. And they make up a large enough portion of the Democrat voter base that if they go 80%+ for one guy, it's pretty much impossible to beat him.
It's a shame that the last several primaries, they've voted as a monolithic entity, because it pretty much kills the democratic process by letting the eventual winner pander to one specific group (really not much different from how Trump relies heavily on super massive majorities of evangelicals and "poorly educated" (his words) white people to let him safely ignore the rest of his party's voters and the majority of the country's population overall).
The primary system is fucking broken. It's not built to pick someone with appeal to a large swath of people. Hell, they outright shut out independents from voting in them in a lot of states. We've reached a point where pretty much every presidential election, our choices are going to be between whoever a very specific racial or special interest group in each party decides to nominate.

I'm not that informed on the topic of black voter preferences or the tactics used by candidates to get their vote but why were they so overwhelmingly in support of Biden over Bernie? What policies or promises made him more appealing?

He just spews bullshit from his mouth without thinking. There is a difference between a blunt, honest president and one that speaks without thinking. He should really stop ad libbing his speeches and get someone to review them. On second thought, no, keep fucking up Trump, keep fucking up so we can get you out.

Might aswell just say 'Best Fromsoft Action RPG'

I haven't played Bloodborne, but out of DS1/2/3, I can't decide which one I like most. I voted for Sekiro though because it has the most unique and intense combat.

IDK if I must buy anything but generally if these games/series/developers make something 8.5-10 worthy then I will buy it
Mine that I can think of (taking some of yours):
-Zelda mainline as long as I have the console
-Mario mainline as long as I have the console
-Metroid mainline as long as I have the console
-Xenoblade
-Smash Bros. as long as I have the console
-FromSoft Games
-Blizzard new IPs or sequels to diablo/starcraft (stopped really wanting to play wow including classic after playing end of WotLK/most of Cata/End Raid of Mists/All of Legion)
-Tales of JRPG mainline as long as it isn't trash like Zestiria
-CD Project Red mainline games since Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, which really is just wanting to play good AAA games lol

That's it really, everything else is strongly dependent on how good the game is and if it's on sale

What isn't logical about this? If you have the means to pay, then you pay. It's business as usual and nothing has really changed. If you can't pay due to unemployment or because you have significantly cut hours, then you should be given some leeway, whatever that might mean. It's obviously not something permanent, and things will get back to normal at some point. But until then, I don't think it's wrong to give people a break from their monthly payments if it's something they can't pay now.

What is the realistic alternative? Kick families out of their homes until they're able to go back to work? Seems like a more messy and potentially significantly more costly problem for a lot more people to deal with. Also, given the current situation, would landlords even be able to replace the people they kick out? It's not like they'd have tons of people willing to rent that new house/unit all of a sudden.

You didn't even reply to my real point which is that not having a job has more benefit than having a job in that case. If you are getting unemployment you obviously have something to pay rent with, unless your unemployment is very low which would qualify as an exception.

If the tenant is still employed, then yes, of course they should pay. But if they have been put out of work by a government order, then no, there is no ethical responsibility for them to pay any rent or even back rent when the quarantine period is over, and landlords who try to collect on that deserve nothing put torches and pitchforks.

I'm a democrat but still don't quite agree with this, that means people who are still working are worse off than people who are not working because the people who stay at home and collect unemployment don't even have to pay their rent OR WORK while those that kept their jobs have to do both? Where the hell is the logic in this.

12" Artichoke sub from Penn Coast Station Subs with Mushrooms and Grilled Chicken added, and fries. Pretty damn overpriced, they've gotten even more overpriced lately. Probably gonna just stop eating there or get a smaller sandwich and no fries only on the rare times I want to eat there.
