I’m curious to see how my boy Sanderson handles a book series that is almost entirely politics. Not to say I haven’t seen Sanderson have politics, Stormlight Archives probably the most political of his many books, but its still not even close to the intensely political nature of ASOIAF.
We all know Sanderson would hit a home run though.
First you have to stop capitalist government
lol yeah right
But really though humanity is doomed unless we figure out a way to actually reverse it, because we wont do anything to stop it until its too late to stop (decades ago), so then we wont do anything until it begins creating worldwide problems, which is soon, so by then we will have to have a solution to reverse it.
There is a kernel of truth in that sentiment though. The government has a tendency to be grossly wasteful of resources, but I feel this is offset by the fact that they aren’t profit driven in their goals and less likely to skyrocket prices to line shareholder pockets. Corporation are also “wasteful” in a sense, where they charge insane markups over actual cost and refuse to pay taxes on them, the difference here is that corporations move their profits offshore and out of Americans pockets, where the government always ends up paying private contractors more than they should. In the end corporations do more with less while government controlled services are always WAAAAAY cheaper than their private counterparts for the consumer despite them being inefficient.
This is the part they don’t get. Do you want zero waste and ever rising prices for the sake of some worthless rent seeking billionaire cocksucker, or do u want some inefficiency, but you pay less overall. One makes someone else rich at your expense, the other allows you an affordable life while preventing another billionaire from existing.
Because when everyone except the upper classes is financially insecure you would be willing to do anything at a chance to not be, including giving away your labor for free for a chance of a paycheck maybe.
“Eventually food insecurity will make people desperate enough”
I wouldn’t say it’s a manipulation, the game is far beyond the original game at this point. I’m surprised it’s even on sale ATM. It’s an amazing game.
They’re also planning on raising the full price shortly to $40, most likely with the launch of 1.0 the next update coming soon. Amazing game!
Exploitation is the answer.
I typed hunt and peck for so long that I can hunt and peck with my eyes closed. Though technically I’m not hunting anymore, just pecking lol.
That isn’t the point. The point is you shouldn’t feel shoehorned into playing a specific intended strategy. Doom is about turning off your brain and slaying.
Shame the article was talking about a mobile phone or that point would have mattered…
90% of the time they are “carbon free” through carbon offsets, which are generally a huge amount of bs.
Never, at this point half life 3 failing would do more damage to the steam sales platform than half life 3 succeeding could make in a million years
I dont see the sexism? Am i missing something? He says that since families moved away from single income households we were told we could just pay for the household services we no longer had time for, but that they have been raising the prices on those services ever since. Where sexism?
The government just doesn’t work for the people anymore. It works for the donors that fund them.
Just had an Airbnb cancel on us in Japan 1 week before our trip… Won’t be doing that again after seeing how little Airbnb gave a shit
But if we paid them a better wage they wouldn’t be so hungry for corporate boots to lick, and the people who rule this country wont stand for that.
You gotta grab the courts by their judges, when your rich enough they let you do it.
This 100%
Windows is in a permanent state of shitification, it feels to be like they have sales driving development. Every year Windows applications make more and more stupid fucking decisions with how stuff functions. You can’t target a specific folder to save a word doc without 5 clicks to get to the fucking file explorer. You now left click to fix spelling instead of right click in outlook. None of this shit makes sense. They keep fucking around with how stuff operates for seemingly no rhyme or reason and all it’s doing is pissing off seasoned users. I know the devs aren’t this fucking brain dead which is how I get to “sales must be driving” mentality. Because sales people tend the be the worst fucking people to make decisions on shit,they’re good at charming people, they should stick to that.
Too bad we’re too busy fighting endless capitalist manufactured culture wars. Shame we cant put it aside and end capitalist control of our government. Guess humanity is over then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
