Was? It's still going. Gravity has finally stopped looking the other way though, especially to YouTubers that play on them.


It will kill birds in your house though, be warned!


"Comparison of the theif of joy." What better way to compare then hd photos on Facebook, Instagram, etc


Hypothermia is a "better" way to go then co2 asphyxiation if your temperature is sufficiently cold, probably hard to do for a raccoon since they can survive winter. Next time use nitrogen or helium, or like most people do, shoot it.


Ragnarok Online is the same way, still going strong in Korea, Brazil, the Philippines. I feel like MapleStory and RO have been sister games for a long time. The communities are equally hard core about a game a lot just don't even care about.


Yeah fantasy EVE online


The game you're looking for is final fantasy 14. The first like 100-200 hours of content is free as well so go take a look.


Life for life?


This made me laugh. Many a scout has been 1 merit badge away.


Congrats for also winning Eve


Your assumption is more racist in my opinion. It sounds more classist to me, but I think that's just reality. Desperate people make desperate decisions, and their pro con list is different then middle and upper class.


you might think it’s classist if you have no experience being subjected to it, it’s an incredibly pointed claim that has been used for decades… note that no one blames white “culture” when a white suprematist goes on a shooting rampage


It seems like at least part of what you are reacting to is blaming racial culture. I agree that is far too broad to be meaningful. Would you agree that part of the transgenerational cycle of poverty and crime involves family and community factors. I think this is true and spans genetic divisions. There are communities that are blighted in noneconomic ways that are difficult to address only with money.


it seems more likely that factors like continued poverty and unfair policing and incarceration rates (minorities are both stopped more frequently and punished more severely) are to blame for both violence and the resulting culture, as these are things we have actual evidence for

blaming culture and ignoring measurable factors is almost always lazy racism


I think you are missing my point. I specifically avoided blaming culture. If you magically fixed policing and hiring discrimination tomorrow, it would still take generations for blighted communities to overcome their current inertia. I am simply saying that additional factors exist and are relevant.

Yes, we e have evidence that incarceration is detrimental to outcomes.

We also have data that uneducated single parents are detrimental to outcomes. We also have data that criminal and drug addicted parents are detrimental to outcomes.
