I just watched the playthrough and there’s already a film adaptation in the works.

The same government looking forward to introduce chat control?

My concern was that not everybody can afford to buy a house, but back in the day people on a receptionist income could buy a house, so if we go back to those days, house ownership would rise again. And as others made me realise, the stuff standing empty for investment would be sold to be used again and outsized homes could be sold to be repurposed as social housing or jousing outright.

Good point! Yes, larger estates could be sold to be used for housing multiple people or indeed for building new housing. Thank you

Well, there is a lack of houses for rent at the moment. Aaand, while writing that, I remembered that there are lot of things standing empty because they are for investment! If those were forced to be sold, that would add more housing stock on the market.

Thanks for the comment.

The idea is to make the wealthy sell some of their assets. Thus driving the price of those assets down. If people horde fewer houses, the market of buyers shrinks and prices fall.

But who will they be selling to? I imagine it will be people who actually want to live in their homes, not just rent them out. Wouldn’t that reduce the number of available homes people can rent?

Don’t sex workers drink on the job too?

We should all be reporting these racist fucks and their reviews too.

I don’t know how to make Valve aware of the blatant racism going on. Maybe they only look at twitter and reddit and there needs to be a “shitstorm” about the harassment the devs are facing. It’s despicable how it just continues to happen and there doesn’t seem to be a “account banned for improper conduct” on most of those fasches.

It better be. They stole saved so many artifacts!

Will somebody shoot this guy to make him a martyr?

My dreams have certainly changed, but they aren’t smaller. My dreams now involve space travel to other galaxies and particle physics, which is different from what I dreamt of as a kid which was building a space elevator, drilling to the middle of the earth, and solving world poverty. Well, the last one was naively assuming that poverty was a natural result in a world of benevolent humans.

The universe is still infinite. Take a look at this “Timelapse of the future of the universe” and tell me it doesn’t make you dream of how different our existence could be. Or this one about Egoistic Altruism.

Everybody’s a racist, it’s just to what degree. Just like everybody’s a hypocrite.

I can only hope that you are right.

The same vibes can lead to feeling on board with mass deportation.

Only a minority would be totally on board.

If by minority you mean <50%, then yes. But given how many people voted for Trump, the percentage could be substantially higher than 20%.

The rest of the world will be watching, so there will be sufficient documentation.

Good question. Would South Africa accept the refugees?

It’s going to be fun seeing the administration trying to come up with a legal definition of white and hearing the outcry of MAGAists who suddenly discover they aren’t “white”.

If it’s collapse, I hope it will be well documented, so that the world learns from it. It could quell all the right-wing rhetoric world-wide if the US collapsed from such a stunt.
