I haven't played any Baldurs gate before, but the hype has definitely made me look into it.

Definitely seems like a game I'd like, a fantasy RPG, I haven't always loved turned based combat, so that's one of my hold ups. What do y'all think of the combat system?

Who's going to make apartment buildings? Isn't that the best solution towards making more housing, to have compact apartment structures? How do you think those get built?

Rent is inherently predatory

No it's not. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's inherently predatory.

I have to move to a city for 6 months, should I have to buy a house and sell it during that time? I need to rent, it gives me the flexibility without having to shell out capital or get in debt to live.

As with everything, it can be bad, especially when the government restricts building of houses so much, but my buddy buying a house, fixing it up and renting it out isn't malicious.

What's your alternative to renting? Government owns all houses and gives them out for people to live in for free?

Rents are out of control, especially in big cities, but come on. Rent control, by all measures and by all historical policies, are terrible.

As a conservative, this is mind boggling to me. In my head I think it's just a far right crazy conspiracy theory, but between this and the huge amount of support trump gets, I'm just baffled. I'm on the west coast, and none of my friends or family still support Trump or are election deniers.

Maybe the mid west republicans are just 100% trumpers? It's wild.

Nobody has ever claimed laws are purely for morality.

They say that prisoners have access to tap water, but the prisoners say that tap water is crap.

This could all be solved by, ya know, having potable tap water by fixing some of our shit infrastructure.

Our treatment of prisoners is a disgrace.

What a trash 'answer.'

"According to court documents, Celeste Burgess was in her third trimester of pregnancy when she consumed the abortion pills, making the procedure illegal as per Nebraska law."

I think this would be illegal in almost every western country.

What would be revolting is if this wasn't a crime. She then hid the "human remains." I understand you're probably pro-choice, but is this the hill you want to die on?

People like you just read the headline and reaction as if you know the whole story?

"Physicians who violate Texas’s abortion laws can lose their medical licenses, face up to 99 years in prison or incur fines of at least $100,000, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights"

You wouldn't have to deal with any decision as hard as this. How can you say a doctor is complicit? They're likely just doing their best then a law gets put in place threatening life in prison.

Unless you're put in that position, you have no room to say that shit.

Trigger locks are not hard to get and are inexpensive.

I'm iffy on more gun control, but if there is something I'd want to do, it'd be requiring businesses to provide a trigger lock with each sale.

What has he gotten done that you support?

I'm pretty disappointed in the Inflation Reduction Act that actually prints a trillion more dollars.

We need inherent change in the government, we need congress to get off their asses and create good bills. We need to get away from the 4th branch of government.

Not print a trillion more $ that goes to government subcontractors and the top 1%
