I group them by general type. Shooters, Rts, Turn-based, rpg, platformers, puzzle etc. And then there’s a separate category for games that suck. Like a category of shame, to always remember the lows of humanity.
You’ll likely be fine as long as you don’t use it to send classified military material to the Russians.
Technically, we already are. I don’t know the conversion rate, but most of the body is being replaced by new cells constantly. So using the transporter would mostly be just changing to a new set of cells. But i’m rather attached to my own, homegrown cells. Feels cozier.
Capitalism depends on the selfishness of the individual and their ability to extract the highest value with the lowest cost. Communism depends heavily if not fully on ethics. We are definitely not an ethical people. So you are correct the former is more preferable to the latter, because it’s easier to implement. You cannot depend on ethics unless those ethics create the highest value at the lowest cost for the individual. So the key would be to make restrictions that inspire the ethical approach over cutting corners. If that is possible, then whichever system is used, they are more likely to be better than the alternative.
As myself, not at first unless impossible to avoid. Eventually though, probably yes. As my character, definitely.
I’d also regularly make a clone and store it somewhere safe as backup, because there are a thousand ways to die in space and i doubt to be special enough and avoid them all.
It is apt to say capitalism inherently lacks ethics. And in a world where competition is the main attribute describing society, that lack is what breeds success. Which is why one could even exaggerate and say that capitalism fosters sociopathy. Individuals that grow to lose their sense of ethics are favoured and more likely to succeed in positions of power, while those restricted by their morals are quickly pushed aside. So while we say capitalism can be good or bad, it is more likely that it leans towards the bad.
Mostly for myself.
The pointing i’m failing to make is you speak of Capitalism the same way others speak of Communism, of an ideal stateof mind where everyone plays nice and does what they’re supposed to. But few people do. Most play dirty and don’t respect these definitions. Like you say, the imagination is nice, however it’s reality that annoys and people come to hate and harm each other when profit is more important that coexistence.
In the world as myself or as my character?
If as myself, i’ll try to stay away from the US portion of Earth. They get attacked a lot. If as my character, I guess i’ll just have to make a Captain’s Log noting this strange phenomenon before giving the order to warp towards my next mission for Starfleet.
Life in Star Trek is easier than most, if you’re in the right place.
Capitalism is the concentration of society around capital, hence the name capital-ism.
Here’s a definition of capital:
: a stock (see STOCK entry 1 sense 1a) of accumulated goods especially at a specified time and in contrast to income received during a specified period also : the value of these accumulated goods (2) : accumulated goods devoted to the production of other goods (3) : accumulated possessions calculated to bring in income set capital and land and labor to work —G. B. Shaw see also VENTURE CAPITAL b (1) : net worth : excess of assets over liabilities (2) : STOCK sense 2a see also CAPITAL GAIN, CAPITAL STOCK, EQUITY CAPITAL c : persons holding capital : capitalists considered as a group d : ADVANTAGE, GAIN make capital of the situation e : a store or supply of useful assets or advantages
So Capitalism doesn’t give a shit about free market, workers, ethics, consumers, nation, environment etc, only about capital. Which is why Capitalism is good for the stock holders, yet bad for everyone else. Because stock holders will do anything for their capital.
Arr!
uBlock Origin is quite apt in not showing any of that. I am thankful for the creator’s attentiveness.
They should leave.
As it stands, their home is not a safe cradle anymore. If they see no future for themselves there, then there’s no reason not to start anew somewhere else.
Yes, that would mean that Israel will win, the evil tyrants will have succeeded in their plans of complete domination. Welcome to the rest of the world!
Right now, Palestinians are dying for nothing. They lose in every realistic scenario. They have no real allies, no real government, no real army, no real desire to become independent. They simply are there.
Yet they can ask to go or be helped to go anywhere else and live and equal or better life. Organizations love sending migrants anywhere these days.
Getting rid of Palestine as a concept, as an open-air prison, is the best option for Palestinians right now. But forcing two people who hate each other to live together is not the peaceful or proper solution, it’s setting them apart.
US likes Israel being there. Don’t like it, convince US to stop. Can’t do that, move the Palestinians.
If you want to save the Palestinians, that’s the best thing to do. If you want to be on the right side of ethics, go ahead and keep the Palestinians in that futureless prison while you rage at Israel for being nazis. That’ll show them!
If your home is bad for you, move.
Realistically? Either bribe a doc or make a fake one.
Realistically, i’d go to city hall and hand in my death certificate. They’ll take it in because they’re not being paid enough to care. Then i’d be legally dead. Afterwards i’d go into the mountains and probably die because i don’t know how to live in the mountains, but it sounded nice in my mind.
By the way we trash talk on the internet, i’d say we’re pretty rich… in spirit.
Here’s the thing, at the core of it, neither the people living in the israelian part nor the ones living in the palestinian one are really at fault here. The general public in general has no time for petty politics, being to busy to make a life. What you really want to blame are the agitators, the people who make it their life to create issues where there are none.
The majority of the population on both sides just want to live their own life in peace and they are not allowed to. So if you want to side wkth someone, side with them.
Blame the politicians who promote discord and occupation, blame the guerillas who attack innocent civilians, blame the religious proponents who spread hatred and bile. And plead with the general public to stop being such a bunch of pussies and actually put a stop to all the warmongering for everyone’s sake. Which is something we should all do, everywhere. But we won’t because we’re all pussies as well.
I wonder what kind of ads the piracy type of subreddits will be getting.
Or, as you grow older, you’ll find yourself going after a type of women and come to believe they’re the majority.
For rich fuckers who can afford specialized individual service, sure. For poor fucks dancing to the Bee Gees every day of their miserable lives, not in the least bit.
The more generalized and mass produced service, the shittier quality it provides. Anything the poor can afford just ain’t worth its price.
