Gaming / Re: Jesus Christ, why is the Witcher's autosave so fucked?« on: June 04, 2015, 07:32:40 AM »I saved the game after killing that Draconoid thing in the middle of a field, then went on to begin the Hunting A Witch Quest.Did you guys timewarp here from 1990 or something?I've not even had a problem with the save system. It'll save and checkpoint pretty often for me, even then I don't trust autosaves. I get killed by one of the Wraiths in the cave (at this point I would have expected the game to have autosaved after every precise point in the level) but nope, end up straight back where I had last saved, having never started the quest. 3 hours is an exaggeration yeah, but I'm not that fucking far off. 4566

No I don't wholly rely on autosaves to do everything for me. I save after every significant quest/when I turn the game off. I would at least expect however, the game to autosave during precise moments within gameplay, not 3 hours before I even started the fucking quest. This has been an imperative features for games since, well, I can remember actually playing games. Don't think I've ever encountered an RPG that didn't have the most basic of autosaves. 4567
Serious / At what point does alcohol negate consent?« on: June 04, 2015, 06:58:35 AM »
Consider the implications of these scenarios and whether they should constitute rape.
Scenario 1: One sober person has sex with a person who consents while drunk, but NOT drunk to the point of incapacitation. Should this be considered rape? The first party obtained consent, albeit tenuously. At what point does being intoxicated eliminate any kind of consensual choices? How would this hold up in a court of law? Scenario 2: Two people who are drunk, but not the point of incapacitation, consent to have sex, then one party claims rape the next morning. Is that justifiable? Were they both raping each other? And again, how would this hold up in a court of law? 4568

Serious / Re: My city is meddling with the minimum wage« on: June 03, 2015, 06:32:54 PM »Consumer sovereignty.How would the market fix itself? Why would a company ever charge less for a good or service than they do now, when they could charge the same [or more] as wages go down in order to increase profit?That's the thing, I don't want to maintain wages at anything. Let the market fix the wages itself. Businesses will only reduce costs when necessary, such as an artificially altered wage.but keeping minimum wage at $X wont keep costs from rising, businesses will do that anyway. How are these people supposed to participate in the marketplace when they can't put a roof over their head? The economy thrives when more people participate in it.Because, as I said, businesses need to compensate for the increase in expenses when minimum wage is increased, whether that be cutting down jobs (increasing unemployment), or raising the price of goods and services (increasing the cost of living).But why not raise the minimum wage? Cost of living is going up. Even if they stay at the same wage, it's worth less. Regular jobs get a cost of living increase of a couple % every year, why shouldn't minimum wage?Shortages of housing seems more likely, then.No, it wasn't magically overnight. Over the last 20 years home prices have skyrocketed because of the location and schools here. My parents bought their 4-bed, 4-bath, 3 car garage, and a tiny-ass <100sqft yard for $250,000 in 1994. Last year it was appraised for $1.4m and it isn't even that nice of a house, comparatively.There's probably nuance as to why that is. I doubt the market magically came to the conclusion of a million dollars for a family home.The astronomical cost of living is precisely because of the minimum wage.Yeah, but not cost of living like this. The median income is just shy of $100,000 here. A 3-bedroom single family home is a million dollars. Even if minimum wage was $20, that wouldn't pay enough to live here. A minimum wage for $11 isn't what's hurting us. When the minimum wage is eliminated, businesses have more leeway to charge prices that satisfy more consumers. When you arbitrarily set wages and demand businesses to pay those wages, they lose the autonomy to run the business however they like and satisfy consumers. This causes them to set prices to make ends meet. Without a minimum wage, the labour and goods/services market will equilibrate at a natural rate. Of course, privatisation of the labour market is useless without competition. That's why I advocate little to no government involvement that have a tendency to entrench monopolies. 4575

The astronomical cost of living is precisely because of the minimum wage.
BUT MUH GOODS AND SERVICES ARE 2 HIGH Yeah no shit. You mandate companies to pay a required amount and they have to compensate all of the excess expense. Here's a novel concept. How about you let the market fix the wage rates so people aren't out of employment and paying $10 for a loaf of bread? 4583
