"But the landlord takes all the risk."
Really? What's the worst that can happen to the landlord? The house gets foreclosed? They end up with nothing after all the hard earned money they put into it?
Well, that's exactly what happens to every tenant.
The landlord's "worst case scenario" is the tenant's "what's expected".
And I'm supposed to call that a "risk"?

"Some jobs shouldn't pay a living wage." is literally a belief that people have.
That belief is both completely devoid of compassion and completely out of touch with reality, which are patterns that mentally ill people are often accused of.
But it's not a belief that mentally ill people have. People who openly state that belief are not seen as unhinged or insane. They're seen as normal. They're able to proudly state that belief with no fear of consequences. They're able to easily find people who agree. In fact, those who correct them are often the ones accused of being unhinged or insane.
Anything you accuse mentally ill people of, there are countless examples of neurotypical people having the exact same patterns.

As a conservative who believes that "no one is entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor", I completely agree.

Everyone deserves to live comfortably and have nice things. No one deserves more or better than anyone else. No exceptions. If you disagree, you seriously need to go check your ableism, privilege, and how much you have been brainwashed by capitalism.

The more I’m hearing about the situation in Gaza, the more disgusted and disturbed I am by the sheer, shameless inhumanity Israel displays daily.
Some few out of many, many, many, many exemples of what Israel did so far:
Dumped gallons of salt over water supplies so Palestinian people cannot safely drink from it
Israeli soldiers filmed themselves torturing a disabled man, stealing belongings of deceased and captive Palestinians, mocking and sexually assaulting Palestinian women, and many more
Bombed an entire hospital full of babies. Babies.
Murdered Hadiya Nassar, a Palestinian woman older than their joke of a state, by sniping her off a roof, simply because she stated a fact.
Threw a woman off a 5 story building just because
Kept the dead bodies of Palestinian prisoners on ice so they could serve their full sentences. Even AFTER they died. Some remains kept for up to 40 years. So they wouldn’t return these people to their families
Produced “Dead Palestinian Baby” dolls as a children’s toy. The toy comes with small bags for “limbs”
We must keep in mind that while genocide is entirely a product of politics, and a form of systematic oppression, we are truly witnesses to hatred. THIS is what hatred is, and this is what it does. When someone asks you how hatred looks like, tell them it looks like Israel.

and the reason it all annoys me so much is it seems like people genuinely distrust any revelation that is not from a licensed psychology professional! and YES you shouldn’t be listening to the idiots making up pop psychobabble on tiktok. but ALSO the world is a created reflection of the God who is Logos and so you’re going to find truth radiating out in all kinds of places!! the Truth is always trying to speak to you!!!! maybe stop and listen!!!!!!!!!!!

an epiphany: Silver does not, and cannot, have a backstory, simply because he is the archetypal pirate. and pirates do not have histories.
I do a lot of research on pirate history in my free time, and one thing that has always really struck me is just how little we have to go off of. We do have primary source records of their exploits - primarily reports from the crews of ships they attacked, and if they were unlucky enough, transcripts from their trials and executions , but as soon as you ask "well, who were they before they were pirates?", almost always, there is simply nothing to draw up, even for the most famous of figures. Calico Jack Rackham appears on the scene in 1718, already Charles Vane's quartermaster, with nothing to say of where he came from. Samuel Bellamy sailed from Cape Cod to raid the treasure-wreck of the Urca d'Lima, but his life in Massachusetts is marred in speculation. Blackbeard made landfall in Nassau soon after the War of Spanish Succession, but so many pirates used pseudonyms that we cannot even be sure that his real name was Edward Teach. All we can say is maybe, maybe, maybe.
so of course Silver, being the icon that we can trace nearly all of our modern conceptions of piracy to, would have no past. the real ones didn't either. As far as written history is concerned, the sea conjured them up. Even if their stories were not unremarkable, they were simply... without relevance.

Abuse Victim: "I was used by someone who I constantly overexerted myself for on a daily basis at the expense of my own well being who then left me to die when they decided that I wasn't good enough anymore."
Ableist Shithead: "Wow. That's horrible. I'm so sorry that a narcissist did that to you. Someone would have to be seriously fucked up in the head in order to do something that unimaginably evil. I wish narcissists would all just drop dead."
Abuse Victim: "Narcissist? I'm talking about my landlord. I worked 10 hours a day every day for years in order to buy their house for them only to have them evict me when they increased my rent and I couldn't afford it."
Ableist Shithead: "Oh, well in that case, they did nothing wrong and you deserved it."
Abuse Victim: "What ever happened to believing that they're unimaginably evil and wishing they would all drop dead?"
Ableist Shithead: "That was when I thought you were talking about a mentally ill person. I love abuse that's normalized by society. I only have a problem with abuse when mentally ill people do it."

As a conservative, I refuse to support any economic system that involves taking from those who work hard and giving to those who don't.
And that is why I despise capitalism.

Can any race become a Were-x? Like Vixets, Bluple, etc? Does it just depend on if they have transformation immunity (like Brook)?
Nearly any race can, yes. It is dependant on contaminating blood. Plant-based races, which have something a little different than what most races consider blood, cannot be turned, but otherwise it can affect anyone else.
A majority of the time, an immunity to transformation of any kind (were-xism, vampirism, etc.) is implicative of a pre-existing affliction. As in, a vampire is afflicted with vampirism, and as such cannot be afflicted with were-xism. But there are rare cases of people having natural immunity to supernatural afflictions, much like some people having natural immunity to certain illnesses, genetically.

that post that was comparing all those "rich people suck" type shows that came out on hbo as lesser versions of succession doesn't really make sense when they're put in the context of the creators making them having made shows in similar veins in the past
