Yeah, I get that I'm probably coming off super contrarian or like I'm pro-toxicity but really I just don't think limiting verbiage changes how awful people treat one another. And at the end of the day it's the awfulness and sheer terrible treatment someone might receive that could push them over, not just someone saying kill yourself

More importantly, how the people who say things like “Its just the internet and its always been like this(it hasn’t)” want to create an environment where they can be horrible to people without consequences. They want to create place where they can chase anyone out that they do not like or who promotes things they do not want to care about. We see is across geek culture.
There is an active movement in comics right now to punish and harass authors and publishers creative diverse comics. They are not even trying to hide it. They are openly saying they will go after anyone who creates comics about brown people, women, gays or anyone that isn’t a white dude.

The first part of that directly relates back to what I said, oh no.... hope it's not addressed at me, and that maybe you know me well enough to know I'm very much a proponent of being inclusive :|

Part of including people is giving up part of the space you occupy to those people. If you want women/brown people to join a group that you are part of, they are going to have opinions about what happens going forward. Inclusion is change.

how's the discussion on basic income in your countries? Do you ever see it happening in a decade or two if a lot of peoples skills didn't become needed anymore?

Anything even remotely related to socialism (healthcare, basic income, etc) is viewed as the devil
I live in Atlanta (major city in southeast USA)

At the moment, I can only imagine European countries talking about this in the future without significant change.

Our province is giving it a trial in a few cities and income brackets, but I suspect it will take a few years before they can come to a conclusion about it with the data. Hard to tell on how accepted it will be, because while we are a relatively sympathetic bunch, we also can view them as leeches who will use it as an excuse to never work again. I can't see it being accepted in the near future frankly, unless it's for extreme cases.

Basic income will not be a thing until machines take enough jobs that unemployement gets to record breaking rates month after month
Discussion about it in Brasil is near 0 from what i know

Mm, the current discussion is about labour shortage. Especially qualified labour shortage with companies starting their own educations to find people with the right qualifications for CNC operators and other slightly qualified positions that there isn't enough people educating themselves for.
Seems a bit short sighted for me but the current problem isn't people not being able to find employment in the current high upturn of the economy. In the coming crash in 2-3 years it will be harsher of course (I could be totally wrong, economy just mirrors the 2008 crash at 2006).
On a separate topic, if I decide to go on a losing streak by picking Alchemist, Medusa or one of the other lowest win rate heroes. Can I drop back down to tier 6 battlecup or will this Divine 0 force me to play tier 7 until next reset? 4781 is when I broke that limit, started climbing March 24:th at middle ancient 3. Could probably do it faster if I played more, likely averaged 4 solo ranked games a day.

IDK I don't think battlecup tier is so fluid

Guess I should keep climbing then so I get back up above 5k after the reset but not up to 5.5k where I get tier 8. Though I suddenly lost a ton of motivation for solo ranked, was a reason I stayed at Ancient 3 for ages after reset...
