Canada isn’t necessarily great either, and European grocery stores are full of “foods” containing the same cursed ingredients. There’s a big difference in volume of crap though, and alternatives are much more accessible than they are in the US.

“Evidentiary basis” ≠ “consumption declines”, greaselords.

It’s just become a lot more expensive than it used to be, and the environmentalist/health aspects of it might play a small part in this, too.

What are those exceptions? That’s the real question that needs answering.

I don’t think the British fighting were abusing powers. The violence to fight nazism was needed to end nazi rule in Germany.

The question is not if violence is useful, but when?

Good for you! Sincerely!

It’ll happen at the same time as the mythical collapse of China, which never comes.

I’d welcome the end of imperialism as well, mind you.

Imagine being on the wrong side of reality

Fair enough, I wish it is that way!

Ford Ka? Or another type of Ka?

How do you know? Can you prove it?

I have no way to tell, one way or another, so I’m not saying you are objectively wrong.

But you sound… Categorical.

If, and that’s a big if, you don’t remember a thing, then things could have happened that you won’t remember.

I don’t actually believe that this is what happened, but it’s not the rational slam dunk one might think it is.

I wish it is that way though. I don’t want to relive the experience I went through earlier in my life.

Main character syndrome?

My conscience ends.

If the materialists are right, the atoms I’m made of end up reforming my conscience into another mortal coil as a matter of statistics.

If they’re wrong and there’s a spirit that’s not bound to the material world, I end up living inside another hull that accepts consciousness. Repeatedly. Could be human, alien, or that of an animal.

If that happens, I want to live in a world that respects all consciousness.

Women are also capable of misoginy. They’re statistically less inclined to be because the problems with misoginy are more tangible for them than it is for men.

It does, according to the rumors

Gamedev does not necessarily pay badly, depending on your location. But getting hired to do it might be tough.

I got in by getting hired in a game company doing something related but it wasn’t directly gamedev. After a while, I was able to transfer to actual gamedev and I’m now on my third big game project, having shipped two.

I tried getting into gamedev directly, and that was honestly pretty soul-crushing.

Oh I want him to be allowed to speak his mind. I just don’t want to give a Trumpet any money, and especially not after their annoucement of a crypto wallet and ventures into AI crap.

Free speech doesn’t mean I should spend my money there.

You need to be careful with this. Depending on your location, there might be laws imposing that you use the land, otherwise you might lose it. I don’t know the exact conditions, and I suppose they vary.

Also, 10000 USD doesn’t buy you a lot of land, depending on location.

More often than not pretty basic, too. Like chicken sandwiches from a specific Popeye’s in Toronto 😌
