| Topic | California officials: Criminal rings loot billions in jobless funds |
| s0nicfan 01/26/21 4:30:23 PM #4 | California Labor Secretary Julie Su told reporters in a conference call Monday that of the $114 billion the state has paid in unemployment claims, about 10% or $11.4 billion have been confirmed as fraudulent. That's... A massive amount of fraud. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz |

| s0nicfan 01/26/21 2:06:33 PM #4 | The restriction was placed on Walker after the Guards heavy-handed and widely criticized response to racial justice protests over the summer. In June, hundreds of guardsmen from around the country poured into the nation's capital at former President Trumps request, despite objections from local authorities. By "before the riot" did you mean June? --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz |

| Topic | Disney to change Jungle Cruise ride because of "racism" |
| s0nicfan 01/26/21 1:18:55 PM #7 | PokemonYoutube posted... Ah. Didn't remember those. But honestly, those are pretty tame. I've seen way worse stereotypical tribal Africans. And I'm not sure how it's racist when there are still plenty of African tribes that look similar to that. Especially in the time period that the ride is set in. Disney could have worked directly with tribal communities to design that segment of the ride to be completely 100% accurate to that tribes' culture and people would still scream racism, or cultural appropriation, or whatever other label gets them cheap likes on twitter. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | The Democrats have just put forth a bill raising the minimum wage to $15! |
| s0nicfan 01/26/21 1:13:54 PM #39 | pogo_rabid posted... That's the equiv of a conservative saying "don't like the pay, just get a different job". And if you're working a minimum wage job, you're effectively tied down. Moving cross country isn't exactly the cheapest thing, doubly so for people who are effectively wage slaves to their jobs. If cost of living is spiraling out of control in a handful of cities, trying to artificially design the system so that an infinite number of people can live there is insanity. If raising the federal minimum wage makes it so that somebody could live a much better life in a state that's less populated, that should be incentivized not used as an excuse to further increase wages in the handful of places that are already overcrowded. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | The Democrats have just put forth a bill raising the minimum wage to $15! |
| s0nicfan 01/26/21 1:09:26 PM #29 | pogo_rabid posted... I still think minimum wage should be raised up and determined by cost of living in each state. $15 min wage in Mississippi gives a ton more buying power than say $15 in Hawaii. Trying to have a sweeping, fix-all number just seems kinda backwards and oversimplifies the entire situation for the sake of having a tidy number that looks good on headlines. Hopefully that incentivizes people to actually move out into those states. The country would be in a much better state if people weren't trying to cram themselves into the same three cities and actually distributed themselves more evenly. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | Why do people get upset when they see a poor person with nice things? |
| s0nicfan 01/26/21 11:40:35 AM #9 | If your friend tells you that he needs money to cover rent so you give him some, and you find out he didn't spend it on rent he spent it on a new video game console, you would feel cheated. It's the same mentality, but with taxes. People are constantly told that it's important for government to provide support to the underprivileged and that you're a bad person if you don't agree. So when somebody sees an individual who is likely benefiting from their taxes using their own money to buy junk they don't need, it feels like a betrayal of the system. It's made doubly worse by the fact that you can't even call it out without being accused of hating the poor. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | Do you consider Jiren to be above the power level of a God of Destruction? |
| s0nicfan 01/25/21 5:56:11 PM #8 | No. Even if you wanted to entertain the idea, the most recent chapter implies that Beerus has some tricks/techniques up his sleeve he hasn't ever shown off. I think Jiren is certainly a candidate to become a GoD or exceed one, but he's not there yet. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| s0nicfan 01/25/21 5:52:52 PM #12 | Anecdotal statement: Millenials grew up through the tech boom and the birth of crypo. Perhaps more so than any other generation, theirs is one of getting lucky on the market. Watching BTC go from 7K to 40K in a year has to have motivated a lot of people to get in early on these new trends. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | Looks like Jim Sterling's losing subscribers |
| s0nicfan 01/25/21 5:34:16 PM #49 | DarkBuster22904 posted... 1. his videos have begun leaning a lot harder into national politics and social issues. Yes, those elements have been present basically from the offset,, but when I say he's leaned far more into them, I mean a while hell of a lot more. For example, he's shifter from slagging off specific companies/practices to just outright slagging off capitalism in general, which is a harder sell. And on a social level, while I agree with his stance that games/stories are inherently political, as its basically impossible to avoid, his relating absolutely everything to modern political issues, at every turn, is also a harder sell than what he did before. And that's gonna alienate some folks. This is the big thing for me, and why I unsubbed from his channel maybe 4 or 5 months ago. I never minded his critical analysis of industry, and for a while he was a sort of Youtube Jason Schreier. After a while though, it became way too repetitive. I could tell within the first 20 seconds what the full content of his video was going to be and I started skipping more and more videos until I realized I wasn't actually looking forward to a new upload so I just dropped him entirely. I can sympathize with him over the fact that his other videos (shitty game reviews, digging through greenlight, trailer reactions, and actual game reviews) got bombed by the algorithm, and I'm sure his recent shift is good for his channel in terms of long-term growth. It's just not why I started watching him in the first place. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | What's a perfect middle ground between North Korea... and North America? |
| s0nicfan 01/25/21 3:06:16 PM #9 | Probably something like Thailand, a relatively free society where you can be jailed for literal decades for making fun of the monarchy. You're basically looking for a country that isn't a theocracy or oppressive dictatorship where your average citizen benefits from equal rights but everyone is equally held down on a handful of specific issues. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| s0nicfan 01/25/21 1:26:04 PM #6 | I think I would have trouble naming 30 Star Wars characters that were meaningful enough to be worth playing. 300 seems kind of pointlessly excessive. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | The Senate Democratic Caucus May Choose Failure |
| s0nicfan 01/25/21 1:23:34 PM #3 |  Democrats used the filibuster against Trump far more than any other president. if you think getting rid of the filibuster is a good idea, just imagine if they had done it during Obama and every single one of those 314 blocks made it through. I get that a short-sighted power grab seems super appealing right now, but Democrats would be shooting themselves in the foot long-term by stripping away that power. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | The Medium releases this week |
| s0nicfan 01/25/21 1:03:28 PM #9 | I think it's being simul released on game pass, so for anyone who has it you can probably try the game before buying it I was super excited by the reveal trailer and hearing that some of the silent Hill team worked on it, but the actual gameplay that I've seen has brought my hype down a little bit. I don't like that the game is split screen so you can see your character and both realms at once. I figured there would be some sort of realm switching mechanic, or forced switching like silent hill. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

He's basically the perfect candidate for publicly acknowledging that he was not educated on an issue, listened to the experts, and has since changed his position. But from what I can see online he just does that anti-vaxxer thing where he says he's not anti-vax, he's just anti- ingredients that are included in vaccines. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
