Rages at reality for doing the thing everyone said would happen?

And that is why there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

It is possible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a yacht

A massive waste of resources and damaging to the planet. Something a sociopath would acquire.

billions on space travel

Cool. Let governments do that then. We don’t need to corporatize space.

Infinite Growth is good for board members and shareholders.

Infinite growth in a finite system is cancer. It kills the host every time

Growing the hoard can be it’s own game similar to idle games or gatcha games.

When the horde you’re growing is resources other people need to survive you can go fuck yourself. Go play a gatcha game instead.

no one is going to break down the white house doors and open fire because another ignorant racist pawn was placed into a strategic position

What about if citizens are detained and deported to foreign prisons without due process, all while blatantly ignoring the orders of judges?

Where is the line where people will act?

If I had a billion dollars I wouldn’t work another fucking day in my life.

Billionaires have more money than they could ever spend, and spend so much time and effort trying to increase the size of the hoard and make sure they don’t have to pay an extra fraction of it in taxes. It’s a sickness.

You don’t become a billionaire without being mentally ill, and for some reason we think the mentally ill are the most fit to run corporations.

patenting, copyrighting, or trademarking concepts or mechanics in video games shouldn’t be allowed at all

It’s not allowed at all in board games. There’s a known issue that someone could completly copy the mechanics of a board game, and as long as they don’t copy the art or the exact text of the rulebook there is no legal means to stop it.

Boardgamers are aware of this, and agree that it is better for development of future games than if someone could own the idea of “rolling a dice”, so if knockoffs do come around they tend to quickly get called out and not purchased.

I don’t know how videogames managed to get different rules.

You mean the one group who understands science and the other group that refuses to understand science and insists they know better than the experts and the studies that have been done?

I don’t think there’s any common ground for those 2 groups.

The was one where her hand was “stuck” in the drain of a sink. At some point she removes her hand from the sink to remove her shirt, then puts it back in the sink.

I’m starting to think the goal is not to emulate realism…

So 5.3 million Americans are going to be given less incentive to work and less to lose?

So the diagram is saying Socialism and Conservatism are the same?

I’m guessing it was made by someone who identifies as a Liberal, seeing as according to the diagram it’s the only correct choice, as everything else is closer to Fascism.

Also note: while a diagram can help explain an argument, it is not an argument by itself, as there is no reason for someone to believe it is true by default.

Sounds reasonable, but you wouldn’t call it a “logic puzzle”.

It’s not a puzzle. It’s just wrong.

“Which of the following is a mammal:
A) rock
B) time
C) verb
D) Enui”

Is not a puzzle.

But he comes in orange.

When I first started using Linux I was impressed with how easily everything seemed to work. Then over time I started to get annoyed with all the things that I had no idea how to fix without looking up, and thought about going back to Windows.
Then I used windows again and was immediately reminded of all the stupid bullshit I had to constantly fight with and forgot about because that was just the norm when windows is the only OS you ever use.

You’re just making it easier for the fascists.

Letting the fascists win the presidency and both houses in the election made things a hell of a lot easier for them.

A couple things stand out to be from that response:

1. the original post doesn’t mention Republicans at all. It’s like someone making a post against dictatorships and getting an essay and how “these anti-Trump posts are unhelpful.”
   If something so cartoonishly stupid or evil is so clearly about a given group or person, that’s an issue.

2. the reply literally says “they don’t want leopards eating faces, they just refuse to listen to people trying to stop leopards from eating faces” which for all practical purposes is the same thing. “We literally tried to stop this exact thing from happening that is now happening to you, and you refused to listen and made fun of us” is a fair criticism to make.

3. “they believe bad things will happen anyway” except the bad things that are currently happening were not happening before, and they were predicted to happen by the people trying to stop this that weren’t listed to. Citizens who haven’t been charged with crimes weren’t being deported before Trump took office. People said Trump would be a dictator and where dismissed as “fear mongers” by the people who thought "bad things happen anyway, don’t fight it’, and through their actions actively helped bad things happen. Which brings us to:

4. what are they suggesting people do? Pussy foot around the most aggressively rude and ignorant people who not only refused to listen but actively insulted those who tried to warn them this would happen? You think these people are going to listen if you keep turning enough cheeks? Man who’s wife was deported doesn’t regret voting for Trump

You try to meet someone supporting a fascist regime half way and they start stepping backwards. These are the people that when “first they came for the socialists” they cheered and celebrated. Next when they come for them I’m going to speak out, but I’m also going to tell them “this is the exact thing people were trying to warn you about!”

Trump is also not “allowed” to ignore court orders, yet here we are.

Our whole government has decided Trump can do these things. Republicans follow him like a cult leader, but democrats stand by and open doors for him.

And if the same thing happens when Trump runs again in 2028 what will be the difference?
