  • If someone with access to time travel is hunting me, the last thing I want is a device known to be associated with me speaking to every cell tower I’m near, time breaking qualities or not. I leave my phone at home and spend only cash as I take a random bus tour of the country.

  • Ah but you see, success is clearly a zero sum game. Even if the company is worse off than otherwise, if they fuck over their employees more than they’re fucking themselves over, it’s still a win.

  • You know how sand on the beach is fine, but sand in a super windy dust storm stings like hell? Insulation is fine so long as nobody is actively touching it and spewing out bits. Probably shouldn’t be able to see it but it won’t kill ya.

  • Conventional economic theory holds that a small, consistent level of inflation is the most beneficial. In short, you don’t want hoarding cash to be a smart long term economic decision, you want more of that money invested/moving in the economy. I recommend reading about the Japanese deflation in the 90s if you’re curious what the effects of even relatively moderate deflation can be.

  • It is not incorrect to say the economy was doing well, nor is it wrong to say individual purchasing power was not following. “The economy” is not, nor has it ever been, tied to wages. This is a problem, Trump is the opposite of a solution. It’s the equivalent of seeing a bank robbery and nuking the bank.

  • Stardew allows people to achieve their dreams that are unrealistic in the real world, like -

    Home ownership

    Finding friends and community in a new place

    Finding love

    Evicting their local walmart and replacing it with a cinema

    Escaping the fresh hell of late stage capitalism (or becoming the very worst proponent of it, sometimes somehow both)

  • I would sub in like maybe Darkest Dungeon 2 over Frostpunk? Less well received but still better than any of the other three. Both were distinct changes of pace, darkest dungeon just sold its soul to the epic games store and lost the bond you formed with characters over a long campaign in exchange for the roguelite shorter runs.

  • Everything you said can be true, but you can still disagree with the idea that the catholic church can be “fixed from the inside”. I doubt he personally was a knob, and I’m sure if not him, it’d have been someone worse. None of those make him a good person - I think the position of “unquestionable mouthpiece of god” is a fundamentally incompatible concept with being a good person.

  • Eh, given how many other times cops have been way too lenient with right wing terrorists versus their left wing equivalents(and basically anyone else outwardly left wing but that’s another matter), I’m not sure that earns them any leniency here.

  • I’ll gladly eat shit for a controversial opinion, but I mentally put chess pros in the same basket as those guys that would queue solely for Office in counterstrike and reach global elite. Like sure, it’s still an impressive time commitment, I just feel like there were better things to put that into. I hate MOBAs and yet I’d respect a professional DOTA player more? But I’m more than familiar with the fanbase of Chess and how defensive they get.
