Speed trap ahead

I mean... it started as a resource farming simulator.

Now it's a resource farming simulator with mechs and submarines and bases.

Still the same basic game with the same basic core mechanic... just with more mindless stuff to keep you busy.

I think it’s important to point out that while voting will stave off some cultural suffering and that’s reason enough, it will do all but nothing to address any of the many greedy profiteer made crises threatening humanity.

Sure. But you and every other doom and gloom poster on the internet are already doing that. It's news to literally no one, and the only people saying that it will be a magical fix that will turn the world into a paradise aren't going to listen to you anyway.

It's also important to focus on things that will change things instead of just always focusing on the negative. Unless of course you want the world to burn because you get some kind of perverse glee in watching everything turn to shit around you.

That's not money, that's being a convenient scapegoat for the people in power.

Well as long as you acknowledge that we're in a sinking ship, you shouldn't need to do anything about it, right?

Maybe focus less on your actions that aren't fixing things and more on your actions that are.

Unless you think going on the internet and complaining actually accomplishes anything.

Its only freedom if there's actual choice involved.

The scale at which these sales are made has nothing to do with the average consumer. Its just mega corps crunching numbers.

And that really only has to do with share prices, none of it trickles down to the actual workers.

This is just rich people having slap fights.

And lowest birthrate.

Pretty much all successful companies are like that. Because that's the system they want, and they've tricked the general populace into believe that's a good thing.

Lots of those fan wikis just link to other websites. It's entirely possible to do that.

If you're on a Star Trek wiki, why would you want to go to a page that's almost exclusively talking about Star Wars information in relation to some actor other?

It's not all of medical science, no. We know a great deal. But that only pertains to general study, and not specific cases. We don't know shit about someone, medically, until we do tests. Even then, we can't do an in-depth dissection of them (because that would be wildly inhumane) so we can mostly only go off surface level information. Even for more in-depth information, say with x-rays and MRIs or blood tests, it still only general knowledge. Each person is unique, and has unique characteristics. So we need to take what information we have and try and match it to previous cases to determine what it could be.

Sometimes it's really easy. "You have a cold, go drink some water and get some rest". Sometimes it's not, they have some obscure neurological disorder that only affects .0000001% of the population (at a guess).

99% of medicine is throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

Social distancing was an easy way to make it less likely to spread based on similar viruses. Until they had more verifiable ways it was a quick and cheap answer to a complex problem. Sometimes those are necessary, especially when millions of lives are on the line.

Throwing shit at a wall would be a better alternative to the Fandom wiki site.

You're right that a lot of them have conditions and requirements to be able to free file, but usually they have those requirements explicitly stated on the list. It may take a little more time than calling some random schmoe and give them all your tax info and have them fill it out, but it's hardly a vast conspiracy.

If you find that you can't free file with a service, despite falling into the criteria stated on the website, use a different service on the list. And if they have that option, report them to the IRS.

There's dozens of free file options for low-income earners. Head to the IRS website and find them for yourself.

The problem with GoT is the same as with all productions where they constantly escalate with very little character building. There's nowhere to go, so inevitably when they do try and tie all things together there's nothing of substance and it's just a huge letdown.

Well Iraq hanged theirs and they're doing great, right?

If all those downloads were from 2005 to 2015, and there's only been a few hundred in the last nine years, that would mean the popularity has declined.

But we don't know that. We don't know if the downloads have increased, decreased, or stayed the same based on the proffered numbers. We only know a flat number from the last twenty years.

Thats the point theyre making, not that its unequivocally unpopular now.

Also you're about three billion shy of one download for everyone on earth.

Things that can not be replicated, or are too complex to replicate easily.

I'm sure, given enough energy and processing power, you could replicated just about anything... but if they already exist naturally, why bother? If it takes less energy to mine, or mix, or harvest latinum than it takes to replicate it, then replication doesn't make sense for it. That goes for just about every other physical thing as well.

Doubly apt because he basically wins because everyone else explodes.
