  • Because our collective we is composed of many different people. You have brilliant scientific minds and genius artistic people and everyone in between. At the same time you have very empathetic people and others who would not hesitate to hurt someone for their gain.

    Diversity is both a blessing and a curse.

    Not to excuse the fault the democrats and especially Biden has on the situation in Gaza, but “don’t both sides” this shit.

    Not only is “but Trump” an actual valid argument for about a million issues, Trump would absolutely steamroll the genocide in Gaza to even worse metrics. So not even in that 1 metric are the republicans a better option






  • I played through the whole game with my gf and didn’t see nor read anything that would indicate that.

    Regardless of if you play, solo or with up to 4 people there are 4 characters in your party. Your main character can be one of the predefined ones or not. You will probably have/want a mix of both.

    First play through will take more than 100h and you will still have plenty to see for subsequent playtroughs. It’s literally impossible to see all of it first time regardless of how you play.

    Just get it, it’s not just a GOTY, it’s one of the best games in a long while.



  • First of all I’m not the same guy that you first commented to.

    Second of all I’d like you to read your own comment as it very much applies to you.

    Lastly you base your questions in a premise that I argue is wrong. So I’m questioning that.

    If you say 2 + 2 = 5, so how much is 5 + 5? Then there’s no point in me answering that because the foundation of your argument can be disputed. If you want to defend your position or not, that is up to you however.


  • Why isn’t there a sustainable economic output? Are you then suggesting that there’s nothing we can do and that we will keep increasing stock prices until the entire ecosystem collapses and we go extinct?

    It’s ludicrous to say that we can’t live in a way that is sustainable. We did it for millennia after all. So either we can’t keep growing forever and at some point it will have to stop, or we need less people, or we need to be more efficient with resources or a combination of the above (though the first one is always true).

    And funny that you mention that when resources become scarce (and they already are) that we would need to restrict from people that need it because that’s what a “cOmUnISt” society would do. How about we prevent people from hoarding more resources than they could possible use in multiple lifetimes? Because those people are not hypothetical, they exist in the current system and we should definitely do that. If not just for the planet, also because it’s what is fair.







  • It’s true that countries in Europe are more akin to states in the US but while there are difficulties scaling up there are also benefits. And in the end everything is divided anyway. It’s not just done in one centralized place.

    The EU has done some meaningful things, though it’s mostly laws and not so much services. I’d argue that it had a much more difficult job also.

    But there’s the private vs non private debate and the small vs big debate


  • Just look at most developed countries in Europe and you will find government operated services that are much better than what the free market came up with the in the US. Namely health services and transportation for instance. Postal services as well.

    I just did a week long trip in the USA and all the National Parks were a joy to visit. I actually thought about and commented that it would be a totally different experience, read worse, if those things were privatized.

    Honestly the whole argument that private entities are run better is bullshit. There’s nothing stopping any government from hiring the same managers and you just eliminated a certain % that would be the middle men. And now the main objective isn’t profit at all costs, so it will very easily be a better service for us, the consumers.
