Minimum wage should be linked to the poverty level. 

[alexandra-erin]

This is basic economic fact.

A business that claims it can’t afford to pay a living wage to its workers is admitting that by definition it fails to meet its basic operating expenses. That major multinational corporations can be “successful” while failing to meet a basic operating expense is only possible because We The People pick up their greedy/lazy slack through taxes and charity. 

And yet somehow it’s everybody else who’s a moocher and a looter…

And this corrosive greed is a big part of what’s slowly poisoning the U.S. economy. Money being hoarded at the top and put in “safe” investments and bank accounts is money that does nothing for no one. It’s just an elaborate means of keeping score. Money put into the hands of the workers does what money is meant to do: it circulates. It gets spent. The same dollar will go through dozens of sets of hands, touching dozens of lives, feeding dozens of people and sparking profits for dozens of businesses. The same dollar, in the hands of the rich, will generally do… nothing. It won’t create jobs. It won’t fund innovations. It won’t start businesses.

Less than 1% of corporate revenues become wages for workers. Less than 3% of the wealthy are actually entrepreneurs (people who risk their money on business ventures that create jobs). 

But 100% of the working class spends their money. That money creates jobs. That money fuels innovations. That money becomes profits. That money keeps the economy ticking.

We have been lied to about who are the parasites and who are the drivers of the economy. We have largely accepted a view of money as a means of keeping score and the economy as something that must have winners and losers, rather than money being a proxy for barter and an economy being a way to divide the labor of society and distribute the load of living

I like it

[araragi-kun]

"It’s currently unclear who exactly is filling the role of Thor going forward, as the original character wasn’t gender-swapped."

“No longer is the classic male hero able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, a brand new female hero will emerge will who will be worthy of the name THOR.”

"And this new Thor isn’t a temporary female substitute – she’s now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!" "

" "This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe."

meanwhile DC’s like “we love ubisoft”

[garocamarillo]

[ezombieart]

[skeletalkeys]

This is pretty fuckin cool

[akindacoolcat]

Well at least it’ll be an easy point to start reading from if you’re new. It’s a pain in the ass finding somewhere to start from all the old stuff

[chlove-art]

Is this really happening?? You go Marvel.

[esperincantations]

"It messes up the mythology"? That's seriously an argument? Do we really need to start on Thor vs Norse Mythology, because we can. That is possibly the worst argument I have heard, seriously.

Gigantic Announce Trailer

Motiga announced their first game today, and I’m pretty psyched! I’m not really into MOBAs, but I’m going to have to try this one. Mostly because it’s gorgeous, and partly because the twist they’ve put in actually makes it look interesting to me.

Pretty terrible gifs, but eh. EHH. I don’t care. Fun.

Visit Gigantic's website to read more about the game and sign up for the alpha!

[esperincantations]

Woo!

[esperincantations]

[bixbythemartian]

I would be all about this

[stephanie-hans-deactivated20190]

hey Everyone. Looks I am way behind on the updates. Busy here, you know how it is.

They’re already online but since it’s a rare threat to have 3 covers unveiled at the same time, I thought I would go for a package post. WITH THE RIGHT COLORS !

I don’t know why all the guardians of the galaxy posts  I’ve seen are so much more blue green than mine :/

hope you like them.

Aand, I'm realizing I'm not really feeling attached to this DA:O playthrough :/ It probably sounds silly, but I intended to do this to get a full "story", not of the same character, but of the same story, have my own DA canon, with a Warden, a Champion, an Inquisitor, all sharing different points in the same timeline.

But playing through, I realize I'm making a lot of choices, not because that's the story I want to tell, but because that's what I haven't done before. That's the problem with playing through a game after your initial playthrough. You know too much, you start planning too much.. At least I do. And sometimes, it just doesn't feel as genuine as that very first playthrough where everything was new and you just did what you thought was right. Not everything had to be perfect, there was tragedy and joy, and it just felt right, all of it.

So maybe I'll start over. Try to forget everything I know and just play. Do what feels right, for that character in that moment. Not care about what outcome I want, what dialogue options will open up if I select the right, and just the right, option. 

Or maybe I should do the opposite. Decide what story I want to tell, and then go directly for that.

Maybe.
