  • You are coming at this with econ 101 level understandings.

    The people you're arguing against here know the text book definition of capitalism.

    The issue is you are talking about some kind of "Adam Smith capitalism" but everyone else is using the term to mean what it actually is in practice.

    If you want to understand this point of view, the quickest way is to read Marx.

  • Lmao, as a long time player, you really got me on the "turning my cards sideways for 2 seconds" part. It really is like that.

    I would never throw someone into a group setting to play like that on their first time. Total madness.

    The game was originally designed to be played 1v1 and group play was meant to spice that up by adding chaos and leading to wildly complex scenarios.

  • I'm pretty sure that was kind of the point. I didn't think it was sad so much as an extremely troubling look at the human experience.

    It's an incredibly uncomfortable movie to watch. If you were sick in the beginning you would really not have been well at the end.

  • Likely less than 1% of boomers were hippies. They call it "counter culture" for a reason.

    What most people would consider "hippies" consisted of a pretty small group of people mostly living in California.

    A larger and much less genuine movement came later when John Lennon decided to appropriate hippy fashion. But that's all it was (fashion).

    People who truly held core values like "peace, free love and compassion" were absolutely not the majority but they were loud and colorful and now we remember that period of time as being overrun with hippies.

  • Yeah I've heard few different intersting takes. I think most people agree the expression is mechanical like you said.

    This is just my impression. It's the lighting more than anything that makes me feel this way. The painting seems to be illuminating the devourer in a way that suggests he might be seeing his own act for the first time himself.
