Ocarina of Time was just LttP3D, with a much smaller inventory and terrible level designs.


The level design thing is debatable, but the fact that there are fewer inventory items in OoT is a strength, not a weakness.

Yeah you have to factor in the difference in premiums between the two, how often you go to doctors in a typical year, HSA contributions made by your employer and your own HSA contributions. If you're young and healthy odds are you will be better off with a HDHP.


It's highly variable, but on average, Yyu usually only need one unexpected medical expense for the premium savings from selecting a HDHP to be wiped out.

To be fair, the calculation is different for people with a spouse and kids, but they also expect to have medical expenses more regularly.

Dark Souls is everything Ocarina of Time failed to be

This is actually true. Dark Souls is more like any 2D Zelda game (especially 1987 Zelda) that came before Ocarina of Time than any 3D Zelda game, including Ocarina of Time. I feel like From Software understood what made a Zelda game a Zelda game better than Nintendo, and did their best to create their own version of a 3D Zelda game inspired by the 2D Zeldas. The only significant difference would be that Dark Souls added RPG elements, but other than that, Dark Souls is everything modern Zelda should be.

Note: I still haven't played Breath of the Wild. From what I've heard, it's more like the 2D games than the other 3D ones that came before it.


in what way do you mean, more like 2D zelda?

it seems obvious to me she is saying that low unemployment doesn't mean everything is good. As she said, people are working two jobs and insane hours. Just because they're employed doesn't mean they are prosperous.

Yeah, and those things she said don't really seem to be true.

I'm not surprised because, at least in my experience, many, though by no means all, socialist reactionaries have very little understanding of economics.


it's weird to me that the conservative/libertarian commentators are focusing on this narrow unemployment rate thing when you can just note that her actual statements are wrong. barely anyone has multiple jobs and almost no one works 80 hours a week (the people who do are not poor)

put another way, the unemployment rate can be low because we are so prosperous that robots do everything and nobody has a job, or the unemployment rate can be low because no one has anything and every one works their knuckles to the bone to scrape out an existence

she is saying we are in the latter situation, in order to diminish the importance of the unemployment rate

frankly this is the kind of argument I see libertarians and conservatives employ all the time -- it was quite popular to talk about how the unemployment rate obscures deeper problems in the economy when it was rising under Obama

She answered "why do you think unemployment is low" with "everyone is poor and has two jobs"


when I thought that's what happened, I was ready to call her ignorant, too

however, upon actually watching the interview, you'll notice that she is not actually asked about unemployment at all. Hoover asks her if capitalism has 'failed to deliver for working class americans', or if it 'is no longer the best vehicle for working class americans.' part of the preface of her question was to say the economy was strong and unemployment was low.

in response, she said that the unemployment rate number is part of the problem. because we see that it is low, so every thing is fine. but it's low because everyone is working two jobs, and everyone is working 60, 70 hours a week to barely be able to feed their kids

to me the plain meaning of her statement is pretty obvious and she is not saying that people holding two jobs is causing the unemployment rate to drop at all. because that isn't what she was asked...

What's the point in dissembling? About half of non-citizen immigrants in California are undocumented, and a much higher share of immigrant households have at least one undocumented member (I think something like 2/3, again for California specifically). It's clearly going to be the flash point.

Seems like a bad idea.

Why though? Theyre letting parents vote for who will be on the Board of Education. That affects all the children attending school regardless of whether their parents are documented or undocumented.


I mean, can't you apply that logic to every level of government?

I agree in a limited sense here, because the public school thing with respect to undocumented immigrants is a particular concern.

Most forms of federal public service are easy to deny to undocumented immigrants (Medicaid, Medicare, SS, SNAP, all generally things illegal immigrants aren't allowed to get with limited exceptions) but state and local level services like public schools are a thing California has tried to deny in the past, but courts determined they were not allowed to do so.

Interestingly, the law that limits the ability of undocumented immigrants to access most forms of public assistance is also the reason states can't add additional restrictions on public benefits -- the courts ruled that California could restrict access in line with the welfare reform act of 1996, but no more

https://migration.ucdavis.edu/mn/more.php?id=1391_0_2_0

In Los Angeles on November 14, 1997, US District Court Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer in Los Angeles ruled that Proposition 187 violates both the US Constitution and the 1996 welfare law, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Under the ruling, the PRWORA requires states to follow the federal guidelines established in PRWORA when they seek to regulate the access of unauthorized foreigners to welfare benefits.

The ruling declared that "California is powerless to enact its own legislative scheme to regulate immigration. It is likewise powerless to enact its own legislative scheme to regulate alien access to public benefits. It can do what [PRWORA] permits, and nothing more." Pfaelzer is expected to convert the temporary injunction preventing enforcement of Proposition 187 into a permanent injunction by the end of 1997.
