So you are calling for might makes right. I had hoped you had a better idea than that.

I'd honestly like to try a page out of Heinlein's book. No-one can vote, or run for office, unless they have served a few years working for the government. Prove that you are willing to put the good of the many before the good of yourself, then you get to help steer the ship of state.

There are issues with the system, of course, but most of the people in power today would not be in power under that system.

Better then ladies lying in ponds distributing swords.

If someone is given authority and power over others, regardless of the method of acquiring that power, the system is evil.

What do you propose for the case of someone stronger than me stealing my food?

Interesting. I may have to start switching over, then.

My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler's Rest.

Also Star Trek Online, but that's not Steam.

Appreciate any testing you are able to do.

I'm not in a position to experiment, but I'm following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.

I'll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.

Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I'm switching over.

I can't see any reason not to just flood the room. Nitrogen isn't expensive.

Seems you understood the spirit of it.

I'm reasonably sure that the level of leadership that's running carriers is still mostly competent.

Of course, President Musk might decide to go down there and take personal charge of the carrier group. That might be fun.

If you don’t chop off the head of the beast, it’s not going to stop.

I think there is something here we can work with.

That's the Fox model. Have your talking head invent visit on the morning program, have them debate it on the afternoon program, then have the evening program report on the controversy.

Yea, if we assume for the sake of argument that we should be executing people are all, nitrogen gas seems like a pretty good way to do it. I've never made a detailed study, but I've worked with the stuff, and had the safety training. Apparently there is no "danger" signal from the body, and you just keel over.

Larry Niven is not up everyone's taste, but I find that his Laws, such as they are, stand up reasonably well. On writing, he said this:

f you've nothing to say, say it any way you like. Stylistic innovations, contorted story lines or none, exotic or genderless pronouns, internal inconsistencies, the recipe for preparing your lover as a cannibal banquet: feel free. If what you have to say is important and/or difficult to follow, use the simplest language possible. If the reader doesn't get it, then let it not be your fault.

I wish this was taught in schools.

Stay strong, mate. Sounds like you're having a much harder time of it than some of us, but the only thing to do is to survive, and hope for a better tomorrow.

One day at a time.

Not us. The people in power, and their rabble.

The rabble don't know what DEI is, only that it's on the list of things they are told to be against.

True. I'll take what wins we can get.

I suspect that they are just going to be instructing the companies on which speech they should be censoring, and which amplified.

I find it hard to believe the NSA would even let him in the door.
