I often forget that show existed... Rocko and Ren & Stimpy were my Nick go-tos. When I eventually gave Doug a chance I liked it though. But yeah, it's kinda funny how stigmatized video games were in the 90s. I remember trying to have a convo about Twisted Metal at school with my buddy once and he actually said "man, don't talk about that so much here, it's not cool" but we all played a shit ton of games. But he wasn't wrong, at the time it was kinda frowned on. Which is weird considering it's not like anyone hated them.

i think i'd like it more if it was just a typical musou game instead of this weird hybrid
I love everything about it except the gameplay parts... I liked P5's gameplay, I like Warriors' gameplay. But with this I almost just would prefer a visual novel than the exploration and mindless brawling. Overall, I still think Strikers is good, but it's a 7 or 8 outta 10, not a 10 like Royal.

The whole "bootstraps" things is actually pretty crazy when you look at the history. "To pull ones self over the fence by their bootstraps" is supposed to be an impossible task.
Not to mention boomers (and to a lesser extent, gen x) essentially having the world handed to them and then the game changing so much that it's literally impossible to follow the same template. Like the GOP dude the other day talking about his $6 wage being good enough... when it would be $24 now, or something.

I think the point is that property comes with a cost. If you live in someone else's house, you should pay them for it. Most landlords can't afford to bleed money so someone can squat in their house. The banks can, because worst case scenario, the corporate welfare state will bail them out
Yeah. I agree with that sentiment. You should pay for a service. My thing was simply saying "monopolizing and gouging housing markets" should be illegal. Especially in areas with huge shortages of places to live.

Because people who hate landlords are well known for liking banks lol

The whole system is fucked up, paying an insane markup in the form of interest on a basic need is something I'm against. Like most wealth schemes, people pass it down. The owner getting dicked by the bank passes it on to the tenant with markups of his own. That doesn't make him necessarily worse than the bank but people are just ragging on landlords cause it's more relevant to the topic
Dude. That is the best way to put it. Basic needs should have a lot more protections from exploitation. A lot of things really just need a PR makeover too. Like "minimum wage" should be renamed "livable wage". It's a lot easier for people to swallow terrible-sounding pay for jobs they look down on, like fast food or retail, when in reality a min. wage was always supposed to be livable and that train of thinking just got spun out of the conversation.

I hear what you are saying too. As technology advances, it's going to replace jobs at a faster rate than new jobs are produced. Then yes, eventually an advanced AI could even do those jobs. I have worked with AI before as a programmer, that is still a fairly long way off imo.

I have no doubt there is a lot of nuance to getting UBI to be successful in the US, but it does work where it's implemented so far.
Yeah. The thing I think of is something I've mentioned on here before. This "bootstraps" conservative mayor didn't want anyone getting a free ride, but he agreed to a brief trial run. They found that the city's taxpayers saved about $50k per year per person because of the lower crime rate and decreased frequency in medical emergencies. So he took the stance of it still not being fair, but at the end of the day the community was safer and less tax dollars were being spent, so who cares?

idk how comparable that really is, considering a lot of people also stayed home because a quarantine for a global pandemic.

Automation doesn't really kill jobs, it just changes them in the long run. Remember when they said there would be no more bank tellers after ATM's came out? Yeah, less positions as a cashier, but now they have the grocery pickers for online delivery.

I personally believe that automation and UBI should go hand in hand. If we ever reach the point where everything can be automated, then not use the benefits of the automation to serve everyone instead of one billionaire who profits off it?
I get what you're saying, but the difference is a lot more far-reaching than "moving from the farm to the factory" was. Yeah, new jobs will emerge, but we will perpetually be erasing more than we create as A.I. takes over because it'll just do more of the new jobs too. Obviously I can't predict the future, and there are bound to be some new avenues and it's not going to be "everyone's unemployed" one day. Even some billionaires have admitted that a UBI may be necessary past a certain point because otherwise it'll be a few owners and billions of broke people coming to kill them.

Don't forget pay their college loans back at the same time. I get the TV had like 5 channels, and there was no internet, but things like food insecurity and homelessness just weren't as big of issues back then.
Exactly. Even working people considered "poor" by the standards of the time probably at least rented a detached house.

As for UBI, I think there should be strings attached, but overall I've seen enough evidence to think the concept can work. Especially after the AI industrial revolution, where most of the workforce will be unemployed. I get compromises like rehab/therapy for addicts so the money isn't flushed into the black market or a verifiable monthly commitment of hours to community service (even if it's just talking to old people in a home or adopting a street). People need two things: hope and a purpose.

It depends on the market. In average ones, for sure. In places with 7-figures and up house prices... Not so much. I don't know many landlords, but the majority have been people renting out a basement suite or one extra house either to one or two sets of tenants and yeah, they're not rich.

Access to credit needs to be improved. The bank said my credit wasn't good enough to afford 1200 / month mortgage for a house, so I rent for 1700 / month.

if you remove people from owning homes for the sole purpose of collecting rent, what happens to apartment complexes? If you think about it, those are really just big ass homes, and are needed in higher population density areas. Even if you break up the apartments similar to how you can own a condo, who takes care of the overall lot?

I bring up apartment complexes, because many of them are run by big corporations who have multiple complexes as well.
The system needs a mulligan, really. A lot of systems do. From housing, to education, to the courts. Everything is still way too heavily influenced by 19th century ideas. Just because something used to work doesn't mean it should stay the same... I think the best defense for your point is UBI program successes. Obviously not everyone will be responsible with it, but more often than not they will be. It needs to stop being looked at as "giving handouts" but more "giving a helping hand", because it's a lot cheaper for the taxpayers when there are 1) more taxpayers and 2) less street people out committing crimes because they're stuck. Wages keeping up with inflation and healthcare being a human right would (ugh) trickle down into fixes for just about everything though.

A lot of landlords are penny wise and pound foolish. I know of a location that has literally sat empty for years because the owner wanted to increase the rent. The business said they couldn't afford that and so they were evicted. Now the moron that owns the land is paying taxes on it while collecting nothing, rather than just making a smaller profit all this time.

I don't think we need to remove home ownership. But instead, remove people owning more homes for the sole purpose of collecting rent and making a profit. I say it that way because I do understand people buying another house to help a family member out. But not if they are just renting it out to collect a profit.

Also, it should be more affordable to own a home. Many people only rent because it's too expensive to own... If it were more affordable, and people couldn't just buy houses to constantly rent, I think things would be at least a little better...
Yeah, I agree. There's a major housing shortage in a lot of markets and while I am generally cool with business ventures, that's not the case when it's objectively exploitative. The laws need to be written in a way that some billionaires can't just buy up all the houses. Be it gouging people because of a manufactured shortage or even buying them as an investment and letting them sit empty. I'm fine with anyone buying up patches of land outside city limits to sit on, but there are tons of vacant houses some overseas guys just lock down and never use and it messes up the market really badly.

iirc, they screwed a ton of people before him, he didn't do due diligence and clearly should not have rented to them, and it dragged on for an eternity and he legit went to talk it over but because of how sketchy they were, he brought the gun for his own safety. but they were asswipes, he had an explosive temper, and then that's what happens. the universe balanced itself, I guess. everyone involved in the situation was a bad person who can no longer harm others.

The game of this would ultimately become a period piece Tycoon game, where you had to manage your attractions across France while dealing with plagues, shifting borders, etc.
