Close, but that's not a job. It's no coincidence that the destructive practice of using your wealth to suck wealth out of society without adding anything beneficial is called Rent-seeking

Not according to the regressive dogma YOU'RE spewing ๐Ÿคฆ

Progressives

Yeah, those of us who want humanity to progress rather than stagnate or even regress. So awful of us ๐Ÿ™„

who don't believe in God

Leave your imaginary sky daddy out of it.

support murdering disabled people

Nah, that kind of thing is done by regressive monsters who are religious, superstitious or both. Like the nazis you're referring to. They were religious, superstitious and not the least bit progressive. They were fascists.

Disabled people with families who take care of them don't need government assistance

What fucking century do you live in where you think amateurs are better at dealing with disabilities than medical professionals??

Unfortunately there are some people who need the government to take care of them.

Yeah, literally everyone, in matters great and small. That's what government is there for. To help and support all of the people who need it.

I should also point out that if someone relies on their family for care, they only have the rights that their family allows them

Ah, the century would be the 1700s if not earlier. That's not how the law works, fundie.

No. Absolutely not.

Terminal cancer patients can't take care of themselves either, do you want to take their rights away too?

What about people with disabilities that require constant care, should they become "wards of the state" with fewer rights than children again like in the bad old days?

use of drugs should be decriminalized, but it should also come with other responsibilities

Do you want to do that with alcohol and tobacco too, or just the ones that the rich and powerful consider taboo?

For example, a government organized intervention and mandatory rehabilitation.

One size fits all mandates are a recipe for disaster. Depending on the individual case, you end up either violating the patient's right to bodily autonomy, refusing needed help because the mandate says it's not time yet or both.

Better to leave the medical decisions to medical professionals. They're much better at it than even the best politicians and/or parliamentarians.

Depending on how much money the person has, they should be required to pay for it

Absolutely not. Means testing like that breeds resentment and often leads people between a rock and a hard place where they're too wealthy to get it for free but not wealthy enough that they won't have make sacrifices they might not think to be worth it.

Rich or poor, cost should never be a determining factor in whether or not to seek needed healthcare.

We should have a welfare state. It should also come with responsibilities.

People have enough responsibilities already without the government making demands in order to give them healthcare that they need.

When someone needs help battling addiction, the caring thing isn't to check whether they've worked hard enough to be allowed to work hard.

I was actually thinking about Megatrainer XL/EX, but good guess!

usually without being arrested by the police

That's the good part, though. Problematic drug use is a health problem and should be treated as such rather than a criminal and moral one.

And that's not even mentioning what often happens when cops interact with members of any marginalized group..

Look at mister Superego over here thinking social constructs are immutable laws of existence ๐Ÿ™„

[โ€“] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 8 points 1 year ago

If you create something it is beautiful inherently

Clearly you haven't seen my children.

things to remember for your mental health and happiness,โ€ capitalism or not.

Except for the fact that a society built on capitalism with calvinist work ethic bullshit thrown in like most of the West works directly against your mental health by forcing or at the very least strongly encouraging the opposite of all of these things, with the possible exception of the first one.

Capitalism is all about striving and producing and toiling and striving to toil productively and then making you feel guilty if you don't live up to all of that. Capitalism has zero chill.

That WILL hurt if not utterly destroy your mental health if you don't remember to give yourself permission to ignore capitalism's bullshit once in a while.

Ok, I'm just gonna be specific. Mods can delete it if it's against the rules, but as you rightly imply, being circumspect about it isn't working.

Searching for a Cheat Engine table for the game (FIFA Manager 14 with the 2023 update mod. Holds up surprisingly well!) was actually how I was reminded of the old trainer Megatrainer XL, which is what I originally used for free a decade and more ago when the FIFA Manager games were new.

They call it Plitch now, though, and apart from the "extremely stingy freemium" part, it doesn't even work with the FIFA Manager 23 executable and Megatrainer XL, having been a rougher but otherwise much more forgiving piece of software, probably would. The part that makes it piracy is that they still retain the rights to the superior product they've since abandoned..

The same comment on the fearless forums also suggested its sister Megatrainer EX in their comment last month. They didn't post a download link, though and I don't know if that's even allowed on the fearless forums ๐Ÿ˜•

Yeah, on the advice of someone else itt, I switched to Nightly and that worked ๐Ÿ™‚
