  • Terraria was released in 2011, and still gets free updates with similar frequency to Stardew. Minecraft alpha was released in 2010.

    Sure, Eric won the cozy farming genre. He is also clearly passionate about the game. Maybe looking out for his own health is exactly why he continues to dabble with the game.

  • Yeah that's very fair. I wouldn't go so far as to call someone an incel just because they said one thing that an incel may also say. Were he alive today I imagine he'd find incels good material for jokes.

  • You didn't say, "can't be", thats why I said it's like you said that.

    We didnt call it, "incel" 100 years ago when someone acted like an incel. If someone was making jokes and promoting a mindset at the time that would now be labeled "incel", then we can retroactively say the ideology they promoted fits our current label.

    I am in the same conversation, and I hear what you're saying. I don't think you sincerely understood what I was saying the first time.

  • That's like saying someone can't be a homosexual in ancient Rome because the word didn't exist yet.

    Like, in an extremely pedantic way you could say that, but it doesn't reflect what was actually happening.

  • I have had conversations with evangelicals who believe retiring is morally wrong, based entirely on this one passage:

    For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10

    I can't begin to wrap my head around this.

  • I wake up, all the chores were done the day before. I have nowhere to be. My wife and I make our coffee and sit outside. The weather is cool enough to be comfortable with a blanket. We sit in silence mostly, observing the changing autumn leaves.

    We meander, doing nothing of importance all day and go nowhere until we pick up a deep dish pizza from our favorite local restaurant. We take it home and eat it on out couch while our cats watch enviously.

    We go to bed, and fall asleep immediately.

  • I used those figures for ease of understanding and easy math.
    Easy, but not accurate and therefore misleading.

    At no point did I believe there was a factory somewhere selling widgets, or that a person named Joe was salaried as he built them.
    No one thought you did.. until now.

    My overall point is that for all economics to remain the same, average productivity per worker per hour must remain the same, otherwise there will be price increases or other economic effects.
    Correct, things will change. The point is that the system can handle those changes. Price increases will happen, sure. But if we take a look at the year prior to [current year], prices tend to go up. Rather than use this as an argument against working fewer hours, or not paying employees more, we should be using the systems we have in place to provide as much benefit to people as is reasonable. Since the 4 day work week does work, (many examples of companies increasing productivity this way) this is a reasonable benefit to push for.
