Can’t wait till the indie wave wakes up the realization that there is a goldmine of 90s games that were incredible. Star control 2 for one could probably be mistaken for a new indie hit nowadays.

You’re in the wrong place to present nuanced opinion in long form. I love the independence of Lemmy from the large corporations (likely astroturfing aside), but this place swings the Overton window back to the left so hard it breaks without any acceptance of different nuanced ideas. It’s as though the life you’ve lived and the subtleties that governed it are irrelevant.

Of course this develops the mindset that trying to engage is mostly pointless, which I’ve adopted, because ultimately these are all just words on a screen with no real connection to the person behind them either way. You can’t sway them and they don’t respect your attention to minutiae.

One of my biggest peeves, things that end before

It is the solution. You want an asset not liquid as what backs the currency. Proof of stake is scam/gambling. Proof of work is investment/asset. There’s only one established game in town.

I usually end up fiddling with service bouncing or a reboot to get it to work.

I always have connection issues after a Mullvad update. One of the downsides really

Neat! Others have mentioned similar events in this thread, but no one has yet mentioned ‘wielding a red sword’ which is a book in the incarnations of immortality series by piers Anthony. War himself is afflicted in the same fashion and sings to communicate. Oh and get your mind out of the gutter.

Really good series.

Iirc mage BBEGs were of a technocracy trying to impose order on reality which was not good for those with the ability to manipulate it.

The technos were also in cahoots with the wyrm I think, from werewolf.

Ork humor. Love it.

The scope of the original statement was food shelter and healthcare. That’s a tall order for open borders with no concern for logistics.

Consider what the country looks like if conditions have deteriorated so much that it deters people from coming here. We will have zoomed past the equilibrium stage. What does life look for the average citizen much less immigrant at that point?

I’m sorry to wrap it up there but I only have so much bandwidth. However, these are conversations that people used to be able to have to tease out nuance, but somehow the zeitgeist has devolved to adversarial tone, name calling, and cultish behaviors. Hopefully I’ll find more when I have more time.

Actually, no. Obviously any immigrant set is going to be diverse. Contributions all coming on a spectrum from nothing to multi millionaire business starting.

The trick is to have a firm enough analytics handle on where you are as a country to handle all of the aforementioned needs of all of them that need it. You WILL eventually hit a point where you have to turn people away to break even economically . Then they start to come in illegally and you’re pushed past the breaking point.

How do you propose, in a world where we have that data (that may or may not exist yet I really don’t know if it’s possible to nail all of that information perfectly), that we handle the excess? If a church takes in too many people, they ask for more donations. If a country takes in too many people, who do they turn to?
