Why would being a good thing make it not socialism?

Girl, I can't keep track of who the "theys" and "girls" are enough to even have any idea what you're talking about

Isn't that unlucky? You would probably have gotten severance

Well, they can't, because they're already in the public domain and nobody is around who can claim them as an original creation.

If you want this to be some pure hypothetical where that doesn't matter, then... Sure, I guess? That's what intellectual property is.

It's also not a tower defense game, it's a moba. There are towers and some defending of them, but you're not placing and upgrading towers to stop enemies, you're controlling one individual character from a large roster. The towers play a pretty minor role.

I know this is the least important one on there, but I don't get this thing lately where people talk about "staying hydrated" like it's some big challenge they have to put effort towards. Like... get thirsty, drink water?

Asking a bunch of random Internet posters on Lemmy, who know nothing about property speculation, land management, investment in general, or especially your country, while providing very few specifics about your plan, is not going to yield useful advice.

Sure, it comes up from time to time, if a bit less than e.g. Irish or Italian heritage. Hard to say why, but possibly because most German immigrants settled in the Midwest, which is typically an area you just don't hear as much about in the broader culture.

The question of identifying as a particular ethnic group vs as "American" is... complicated. For starters, it's very different for European vs non-European heritage, for a lot of reasons very tied up in both history and modern reality. It's honestly hard to comment on without saying something that someone else is going to object to. But by and large European ancestry is mostly viewed as a distant thing, just an interesting fact about your family, that maybe brings some unique traditions, or family dynamics/expectations, etc, but which has mostly been long since absorbed into the broader idea of "white American."

And George Soros being some kind of secret mastermind is also a right wing fever dream. Democrats wouldn't have any interest in doing such a thing
