Plumbing. I could live without almost every modern comfort but a flushable toilet

This one surprises me. I had always thought Quebec had a strong cultural identity. How do you see it happening?

Thanks for the detailed comments. Is this the kind of thing you talk about at hexbear? I’d call myself a skeptic but I love the topic

Wait why not?

100% agree. I had a much higher opinion of the soviet union before i heard how little it took to be placed in a gulag. It sounded like a toxic environment for voicing concerns at the very least. Although my sources could be biased I suppose.

Generally competition is good for the “consumer” or citizen in this case

The Truman Show. Very underrated, but its not brought up often.

I suspect the failure of viable alternatives to capitalism in the 90s resulted in the runaway scenario we see today. That doesn’t make the Soviet union good though.

I think I’d like that if there was a single winner as well. Something like to win you need to complete two objectives, one public and one secret. So other players can still work against you but they dont know what you’re trying to do.
