Give it the weight it deserves. Some of the other replies here are on point and this interaction doesn’t deserve any negative head space, but bad examples of what not to do are really helpful. You have a chance to choose how to treat people… you bump into friends and strangers every single day. Use the bad examples from your life and the good ones to shape who you are. Aim at the version of yourself who would answer that same question with respect and kindness. Keeping negative things in your head but using them for something positive is the best use of that memory.

Your analogy and argument is very well organized so I wonder how you think universal basic income could mitigate the negative impacts of generational wealth/poverty? In my mind, it is part of a solution to many social issues but I’m still learning. I know there are arguments that capitalism will just buffer against any implementation but I’m still forming my opinions.

He’s a voice actor/lead on lower decks (animated trek show) I liked him without knowing one of his parents ever got mail… so he holds his own, but privilege is privilege… He’s not not a nepo baby.

Her phantom limb pain was reduced and might that be even more interesting than the technology, itself. There are theories supporting central and peripheral contributions to chronic phantom pain and hers must have been primarily central. Fascinating!

I’m excited for flying mount updrafts and adventures but a little worried that mounting in combat will be awkward for the game.

There must be some new reason they want us to be able to get on a flying mount in combat but it’s odd that this doesn’t extend to other mounts and I also wonder if it will remove flavor from other parts of the game by making the choice to get into combat a bit more trivial. I’m just not sure about that one until I get my hands on it.

Right now if you choose to solo a champ or low man a group event there can be a trade off by choosing to disengage. That’s totally gone if you can decide to fly away whenever you want.

It’s about numbers as a whole, and the bottom 50% of earners in the US only have 2.6% of the wealth. They can advertise a ‘good economy’ but most of us can’t afford to participate in it.

To quote MIB: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

I think it applies pretty broadly that individuals are decent but organized into society, we mess up quite a bit.
