If you are going to get drunk, do it at home. It's a simple concept that a lot of people don't seem to understand.

Doing it at home doesn't stop them from leaving though

DUI in the US should be a one-strike and you're out policy. First time offender? Heavy fine AND lose your license for a year. Second time offender? Jail time.

yeah but if they took all the second time offenders off the road, they'd lose a source of revenue

is it weird that my brain immediately jumped to that one UK drunk driving ad?

You're not alone.

In a market economy, I'm not sure it'd work without government controlling the price of essentials (food, housing, utilities) or coming down hard on private enterprises taking advantage of the populace.

You'd have to straight bar profit-only motivated corporations from having any involvement in those areas, at least.

What if they make a console that's so advanced that exclusives are made for it just because it's not possible on the other consoles? Like Far Cry Instincts

Unless they're going to stick, like, a 4090 in a console, I don't see a console making such a leap nowadays that it'd demand exclusives.

I don't usually drive on a highway/interstate, so accidents are generally rare. Even so the area isn't super densely populated so even on the highway/interstate traffic isn't heavy.

Max speed on normal roads around me is 45, maybe 55.

We should at least get modern translations/ports of the games we haven't gotten before we get a remake of a 12 (11 in the west) year old game.

Exactly my thought. HUGE difference. The ads here weren't that annoying until the ownership changed.

Its the flashier ads that get the most clicks, and so theyre the ones that earn us the most money by a huge margin.

I want to know who the fuck is clicking ads.

Even when I wasn't using an adblocker, I wasn't clicking ads.

I can't think of any online ad I ever looked at and thought "i want to click this". Any ads I have clicked have been by accident or out of sheer curiosity of price point. I definitely haven't spent money on a product i saw in an online ad banner/pop-up ad/whatever. Maybe down the road when I saw it in a store, but definitely not by clicking the ad itself.

I have bought a couple of those youtube sponsorship things, but that is at least tied to supporting the creator.

I mean if youre a grown adult and fully support people who want to get rid of abortion, idk how that person benefits anywhere they go

even so, if you approach a conservative in a conversation with this attitude, they're going to shut down and shut you out rather than have an open and honest discussion with you about why they feel the way they do.

I'm not naive enough to say that you can have those kinds of conversations with everyone or that there aren't bad faith actors out there who will are gunning for the 'gotcha' statement, but if you drive these people away, there are others who are more than willing to welcome them with open arms and harden their beliefs even further.

Cemith posted...

Also, let's just make this clear. I can't speak for others, but I, personally, do not think conservatives belong anywhere people congregate socially. They are horrid enablers or bigots and should never be taken seriously until they purge the gross fascism from the party.

I wouldn't go that far. However there are elements within (and outside of) our society that are seeking to weaponize conservatives in order to enable fascism and bigotry, all in a grab for power.

Many are unaware of how they are being used. Handwaving away the entirety of the group will only divide us/harden them from ever being dissuaded.

Its why approaching people from a 'holier than thou' attitude does not work. You approach them with a closed or hostile attitude and it puts them on the defensive. In the world of the conservative, being put on the defensive makes them hole up and double down on their beliefs.

i understand your attitude and why you feel that way, I just think it will do more harm than good ultimately.

Im confused why would away women trying to give birth? I thought thats what they wanted.

When your assistance or intervention can result in an unintentional death and the state breathing down your neck with a murder charge, one can't blame people for refusing to help.

In some countries offering assistance to someone involved in an accident can lead to you being sued or responsible for failing to help them fully. So bystanders just don't intervene. Someone dying? Sucks to suck.

Women exist for the purpose of being cooking, cleaning, and breeding fuck toys to Republicans. If you can't serve those purposes for them they don't give a fuck about what happens to you.

If the dems are smart, and they aren't, they'll go all in on this kind of stuff. They shouldn't run against individual Republicans in their races. They should run against the party and it's abortion stance a whole. Their message should be "if you are a woman, vote like your life depends on it. If you are a man, vote like the women in your life lives depend on it. Because they do".

Honestly if you ever wanted a good reason for the whole system being rigged, the Dems not absolutely shredding the GOP alive is evidence enough.

Your opponent has clearly given every indication that they're incompetent and motivated by hate and you refuse to call them out? You're complicit.

https://apnews.com/article/pregnancy-emergency-care-abortion-supreme-court-roe-9ce6c87c8fc653c840654de1ae5f7a1c

One woman miscarried in the lobby restroom of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to check her in. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldnt offer an ultrasound. The baby later died.
Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, federal documents obtained by The Associated Press reveal.
The cases raise alarms about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S., especially in states that enacted strict abortion laws and sparked confusion around the treatment doctors can provide.
It is shocking, its absolutely shocking, said Amelia Huntsberger, an OB/GYN in Oregon. It is appalling that someone would show up to an emergency room and not receive care -- this is inconceivable.
Its happened despite federal mandates that the women be treated.
Federal law requires emergency rooms to treat or stabilize patients who are in active labor and provide a medical transfer to another hospital if they dont have the staff or resources to treat them. Medical facilities must comply with the law if they accept Medicare funding.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday that could weaken those protections. The Biden administration has sued Idaho over its abortion ban, even in medical emergencies, arguing it conflicts with the federal law.

No woman should be denied the care she needs, Jennifer Klein, director of the White House Gender Policy Council, said in a statement. All patients, including women who are experiencing pregnancy-related emergencies, should have access to emergency medical care required under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).
PREGNANCY CARE AFTER ROE
Pregnant patients have become radioactive to emergency departments in states with extreme abortion restrictions, said Sara Rosenbaum, a George Washington University health law and policy professor.
They are so scared of a pregnant patient, that the emergency medicine staff wont even look. They just want these people gone, Rosenbaum said.
Consider what happened to a woman who was nine months pregnant and having contractions when she arrived at the Falls Community Hospital in Marlin, Texas, in July 2022, a week after the Supreme Courts ruling on abortion. The doctor on duty refused to see her.
The physician came to the triage desk and told the patient that we did not have obstetric services or capabilities, hospital staff told federal investigators during interviews, according to documents. The nursing staff informed the physician that we could test her for the presence of amniotic fluid. However, the physician adamantly recommended the patient drive to a Waco hospital.
Investigators with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services concluded Falls Community Hospital broke the law.
Reached by phone, an administrator at the hospital declined to comment on the incident.
The investigation was one of dozens the AP obtained from a Freedom of Information Act request filed in February 2023 that sought all pregnancy-related EMTALA complaints the previous year. One year after submitting the request, the federal government agreed to release only some complaints and investigative documents filed across just 19 states. The names of patients, doctors and medical staff were redacted from the documents.
Federal investigators looked into just over a dozen pregnancy-related complaints in those states during the months leading up to the U.S. Supreme Courts pivotal ruling on abortion in 2022. But more than two dozen complaints about emergency pregnancy care were lodged in the months after the decision was unveiled. It is not known how many complaints were filed last year as the records request only asked for 2022 complaints and the information is not publicly available otherwise.
The documents did not detail what happened to the patient turned away from the Falls Community Hospital.

There's more in the article.

Make no mistake. This was by design.

These bullshit ass draconian laws had one outcome and it's what we're seeing.

And not a single fucking person who proposed or passed these legislations gives a remote shit of a fuck to do anything to help the situation.

Even before I got to the wording, Jackson's face looked way off.

Because you can use a controller on PC. You lose nothing by getting everything that's available on PC. What does "feels like a console game" even mean?

Most of your (former) console exclusives, for one. So, your Last of Us, God of Wars, Spider-Mans, yknow. those kinds of games.

Things that were made and designed with a controller in mind, so like a Sonic Adventure 2 feels more like a console game than a PC game (i've played it on both)

I guess its less "feels like a console game" and more "feels designed for controller".

There are a few pc only games that definitely feel better with a controller. Bug tales is one, it's a paper Mario clone and a very good one at that.

but Bug Fables is on consoles <_<

If I'm buying a game for PC, its almost usually a game that will benefit from keyboard and mouse or is on steam sale.

I have consoles, so if a game feels more like a console game, why wouldn't I just play it there?

Same as PC based games coming to console. Why play it with an inferior control scheme when I can just play it the way it was designed

Mild correction on title, the benefits are cut for everyone not just child workers

https://www.nola.com/news/politics/legislature/la-lawmakers-vote-to-remove-lunch-breaks-for-child-workers/
article_ef234692-fd9e-11ee-99f5-771c7366107a.html

A Louisiana House committee voted Thursday to repeal a law requiring employers to give child workers lunch breaks and to cut unemployment benefits part of a push by Republicans to remove constraints on employers and reduce aid for injured and unemployed workers.
The House Labor and Industrial Relations panel advanced the child labor legislation, House Bill 156, along with House Bill 119, which would slash the amount of time for which people can collect unemployment aid. A third bill the committee approved, House Bill 529, would change how workers' compensation wages are calculated in ways that could reduce benefits received by some injured laborers.

The bills, which head to the full House, are part of a broad effort by Republicans to weaken labor unions and strengthen employers' hands in Louisiana. They are aligned with steps other Republican-led legislatures have taken in recent years, and on Thursday, GOP lawmakers attributed the moves to Gov. Jeff Landry's directive to "reform" the business environment and remove bureaucratic red tape.

First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks. He questioned why Louisiana has the requirement while other states where he owns Smoothie King locations, such as Mississippi, don't have them, and criticized people who have questioned the bill's purpose.
The wording is Were here to harm children. Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.
The committee approved his bill 10-3.
Earlier, the panel advanced HB 119 the proposed restructuring of the state's unemployment benefits system. Lawmakers pitched it as a way to get more people into paying jobs and a disincentive against remaining in the unemployment benefits system for too long.
If passed by the House and Senate and signed by the governor, the bill would reduce the maximum period for which people can gather unemployment benefits in a given year from 26 to 20 weeks.
The bill would also make the amount of time people can collect benefits dependent on the state unemployment rate, meaning workers would not be able to take advantage of the full 20-week maximum under the current unemployment rate. It sets a 12-week cap on those benefits when Louisiana's statewide unemployment rate is at 5% or less. And it lays out a scale where for each additional half-percentage point increase in the unemployment rate, laid-off workers can collect benefits for an additional week.
Only when the unemployment rate rises above 8.5% would workers be able to claim benefits for the maximum 20 weeks. Louisiana's unemployment rate was 4.2% in February, the latest month when data was available from the Louisiana Workforce Commission.
Critics blasted the unemployment bills Thursday as harmful to laborers.
Christina LeBlanc, a policy analyst for the pro-worker nonprofit Invest in Louisiana, previously the Louisiana Budget Project, said the proposed system would disproportionately harm rural parishes whose unemployment rates fall below the state's overall percentage of unemployed people. East Carroll Parish, for example, has an unemployment rate of 9.8%, according to LeBlanc.
First responders who'd been injured on the job and a representative of the state firefighters' union later spoke against HB 529, the bill carried by Rep. Raymond Crews, R-Bossier City, to change the way payments to injured workers are calculated.
Currently, workers' comp wage benefits are calculated by multiplying a worker's hourly wage by the average number of hours they worked in the four weeks preceding the workplace accident. Crews' bill proposes jettisoning that system and instead calculating their weekly wages by taking the total amount of money they received in the 52 weeks before their accident divided by 52.
Workers in Louisiana can currently earn up to 75% of the statewide average weekly wage at the time of their injury, according to Nolo.com, a legal consulting group.
Chad Major, president of the Professional Firefighters' Association of Louisiana, said the bill would cause workers who've gotten raises or promotions before an accident to receive lower amounts in workers' comp benefits than they would have been paid had they been on the job.
"You look at 52 weeks thats fine and dandy," echoed Robert Todd, an EMT who said he had been injured and received workers' comp. "But if I get injured two weeks before my next pay raise, Im stuck making what I made before."

Crews said his bill would help streamline the workers' comp process.
This is a great bill in terms of simplifying the process and being able to move more quickly," he said. The committee approved it, 10-3.
Republican-led state legislatures nationwide have often moved to slash workers comp benefits, a Propublica investigation found. Other statehouses have similarly moved in recent years to weaken child labor regulations, and some have moved to more tightly regulate labor unions the goal of several other bills moving through the Capitol in Baton Rouge, including one that would make it more challenging for unions to collect dues through payroll deductions.

Give it enough time and they'll remove laws against child labor.

Ever marching backwards smgdh.
