It's a good metaphor for explaining the concept he wants to explain, but I think it falls a bit short in that it's not a dog with one brain that has one goal.

Instead it's controlled by a bunch of people who have been indoctrinated that being successful is making money. People like trump have no interest in the dog, apart from how much blood they can suck from it.

Wait why the "I did that"? I thought the 86 47 was like 86 as a verb to mean "end" and 47 to mean the 47th president. He wouldn't paint the message to kill him himself right?

With one exception being the animals that are fed with crops.

We wouldn't grow more crops in total, but more would be available for human consumption.

The idea would be more like a reserve wheel in a car; not to call the manufacturer to deliver you a reserve wheel only when you get into an accident.

And the second misunderstanding that makes it seem difficult is that you have to make every game run without a server. If the community can run a server, that's all that's needed.

I think if you told western men to do the same at home as in the stadium, they'd sit around watching sports while getting drunk.

Which, gotta hand it to the boomers, they were ahead of the Japanese

It was about a man from the 60s struggling with the societal changes of the (at that time) modern times.

You don't think there's new stuff to struggle with from the last 20 years?

Also vielleicht besser Wyrmchen?

In a way, I find this one worse (I haven't read that 4chan thread, just going off of the description). Because they are complaining about someone simply going for the aesthetic.

Like, using the attractiveness of the aesthetic for purposes of attracting people - instead of signing up for a whole "anti-establishment" (their words) lifestyle.

They choose a lifestyle, choose an aesthetic, and then they feel entitled to nobody else using that aesthetic without the same lifestyle.

At least complaining about using a lifestyle label without actually doing that... Well, details matter, but it has some merit. E.g. someone saying they're vegetarian while they eat meat, that's just stupid.

There is no grass anymore. Only astroturf

Each disadvantage has its advantage

• Famous quote from a Dutch football player

This was not good reading comprehension, if not malice

I think that's a slight pun.

The "-archy" part comes from the greek for "to rule/command". Monarchy = rule by a king, oligarchy = rule by few, etc.

And the "an-" part means "not" or "without". So anarchy technically means "not ruled" or "without rule" - but if things are still being ruled, it would still be an "archy", not a "not archy".

"would probably be seen as sensible had it not been for hindsight" is a lifestyle

The code YOU run. If your code runs other code, that doesn't fall under this.

"Don't ride a car unless you know how driving a car works" doesn't mean you need to understand the chemical composition of the metal in the motor parts

Yes, it is forgotten in the history books nowadays, but the real ones remember: The soviets mass-murdered their own people in order to punish Churchill.

Authoritarian != fascist

Needs some reading up on political theory to understand, which is a dry subject matter. So the social sites have people calling even monarchies fascism, but it ain't the same.

EDIT: Ugh literally the comment next to yours is like "If it HaS a LeaDeR It'S faScISm"

Don't orcas prey on them when they're young?

I'm not sure that's true.

Let's realistically entertain your point: You say he should sell his assets to get money, so he can give it to the poor, basically (correct me if I'm wrong).

The yacht and other stuff, probably bought with a loan, insured by Steam's value. His real assets is, like, Steam.

I don't know if you already see where this is going, but from clarity: If people would buy parts of that - the parts are called "shares", and the people who buy them "shareholders". That is a public company. Which now has a LEGAL OBLIGATION to make as much money as possible. Meaning all that enshittification coming along with it eventually, too.

As someone who has lives in the Netherlands, were iDeal (the less international predecessor of wero) has been available for years - yes it replaces it, so much.

And it feels easier and safer at the same time, when my banking app on the phone can just scan the QR code on the website and deal with that.

Every time I DO use paypal now, usually a foreign webshop, I get a little nervous if my account still works, because it's been a year or so again.
