Unfortunately 90% of jobs require contributing to and reinforcing the worst aspects of society.

It makes it too easy to game the system and create gridlock because you only need influence over a bunch of very small percent of the population.

Smaller states should have less of a say. I'm not sure how that seems unreasonable. The people should decide. It doesn't matter what state they live in. It might have made sense 200 years ago but now I can't believe people seriously support it.

Copyright definitely needs to be stripped back severely. Artists need time to use their own work, but after a certain time everything needs to enter the public space for the sake of creativity.

Not sure where you live but in America stop signs are everywhere. You can't go anywhere without hitting multiple.

In my experience most people don't even know what a zip or rar is or how to extract them.

We're already getting pretty horrible rulings. Whats to lose?

Hide your shame? Not sure who this appeals to.

You cannot reason someone out of a position that they did not reason themselves into. Most of the time they even think they are being logical and reasoned their way into their beliefs, but because they refuse to rectify their cognitive dissonance, they are stuck with contradictory beliefs which they haven't accepted are incompatible.

No one can be trusted with AI. Its misuse is inevitable.

If you get a sufficient following, you will get death threats. Its just an unfortunate fact of life I'm afraid.

I've never understood this idea. Usually I see it in reference to anime. How can you even appreciate the voice acting when its in a language you don't understand while you are trying to read something in English?

This is a constant cycle.

Tech nerds invent new technology/platform>nerds flock to new thing>the masses hear about it and start flooding it>money notices a large user base that isn't being complete wrung out for money>money destroys the new thing by making it unusable for profit>repeat

The mods will come very quickly. I'm sure there will even be a few on launch day. They took a long time to release the creation kit for skyrim which made making mods much more difficult, but the community still put out a lot just using modding tools from previous games.
