But I think you still would have to pay him if you want him playng BF6.

I can’t speak with 100% accuracy. I just have something that tells me so.

Also worth noting that it is “everyone’s problem” as soon as US turns his military against other countries.

For now it is Venezuela and maybe Nigeria,

But here at South America we are “bracing for impact” even though we aren’t Venezuela per se.

Trump already told he wants to annex Canada, Panama, Greenland and Vance already vented his distaste against Europe.

It is just a matter of time before US turns against Europe.

And then it will suddenly be a “World’s problem” because it only is a problem when the western civilization gets the wrong end of the stick.

old timers (or geeks) help me:

Didn’t Rogue (which termed the genre Rogue-like) had a “monster capturing” mechanics? I know that Nethack has a pet system (you even start out with a cat or dog that follow, fight and even steal items for you).

Also, what about older text based games similar to Zork? any of them with monter capturing/battle system?

My point is that if we dig deep, we may discover “monster capturing” (or pet) mechanics way earlier than what most people think about what is considered the beginning of videogames (fliperama era games like NES, MegaDrive, Sega…)

or even better, set a pomodoro.

Maybe even on easy mode (5 or 10 min) to bootstart studying, let it ring once, nod at the pomodoro and keep in the flow.

Or… if you felt a strong urge to not study in these 5 or 10 min, nod at the pomodoro and says “Thanks Cthullu I’m free from this time prison!” and move on.

I personally hate doing pauses with pomodoro, so I just use it to make sure I did at least one pomodoro unit of time of whatever the fuck I planned to do (But I do pause once I start hitting a wall or getting tired)

There is an obvious reason why countries like Germany make a strong stance against any “trolling” nazi joke/imagery/salute.

But America’s First Amendment seems to not understand that reason (or only understand when it is weaponized against communism, black people, trans rights and all the “woke culture” stuff)

Not disagreeing with you any bit, but I want to clarify that by “Brazil being imperialistic” I meant how we expanded our territory during the 1800s and our “most recent war” at Paraguay around late 1800

(btw, I had to search the date and found that our last “recent” territorial war was probably the Acre war (1899), a few years after Paraguay war – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Brazil )

I don’t disagree with you that we were and are exploited, but we surely expanded our territory by a lot of land-grabbing in those wars (even tho I recognize these were old times).

In that specific sense that I meant we once were imperialistic (Sem falar que Dom Pedro era imperador né?! hahahaha!)

Why do you think it’s the US specifically and none of all the other capitalist countries

then you go about

It just seems so US centric that it’s always the US this the US that, there’s like the whole rest of the world too but the discussion always is “socialist country do something bad” “well what about the US???”. Like goddamn

Can you first decide if you are talking about capitalist countries (as stated first) or socialist countries? Or are you going to be moving goalposts?

I wrote a direct and on the point answer on why do some people think it is US specifically.

As pointed out, US backed coups and regime changes (unless you want to argue that these facts are untrue).

Now, if you want to go about other capitalist countries, then France and UK have their hands on some regime changes as well over the years.

Although this wkipedia entry doesn’t look as bad as the US’ one, only a fool would think that France has good intention about their interference in the middle east:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_France#Middle_East

Even my country, Brazil, has some dirt on it by being an economical powerhouse among Latin America.

We did try to make comercial relations that mixed both the style of EU (Mercosul) with our neighbors and also similar to China-african countries relation as we did with Cuba by bringing Cuban physicians to work here while we helped them economically (but I’m sure there was some strings attached. we aren’t saints and nor do we pretend to be the savior of free democratic world).

But we do know that, if left unchecked, we could derail again into being imperialist or into being a dictatorship (again, we just jailed Jair Bolsonar for trying a coup d’etat to make another military dictatorship in the shape of the 1964 that happened).

Speaking of Bolsonaro, one of the first things he did was to cut out the deal Brazil had with Cuba because our Brazilian physicians don’t want to work in the countryside (they claim the pay is low or that municipalities may freeze payment over months) but at the same time, they didn’t wanted anybody else in that market-share (in this case, Cuban doctors).

So it is all shitty situations around and no one is a saint.

I hope it does satisfy your desire for a “nobody is a saint”, but, keep in mind that in terms of actual harm, US and Russia are the greatest danger right now.

US and Russia together have around 90% of nuclear warheads of the world.

If they even (hypothetically) join political forces and “work as one country”, then they could bomb whatever the fuck of whatever country with almost no pushback.

Though I still think that America is more trigger happy (pun intended) than Russia.

Maybe because of this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change

No need to read the entire article. Just skim through it a bit.

Btw, I can attest that the 1964 regime change in Brazil was real because I live here and we study the military dictatorship period in middle/high school and the theme is still relevant to this day (hence why we jailed Bolsonaro). (Edit: I forgot to mention that the reveal that 1964 had a hand from operation condor is recent. it was just a “leftist hoax” before but, “today”, the papers of US involvement in Brazil’s coup made the “leftist hoax” not be a hoax anymore)

We will need to wait a a few more decades before going public that US also interfered with our politics on the impeachment of Dilma and raise of Bolsonaro to power.

But at least Obama government bugging Dilma’s phone was true

Also, did anyone ever mentioned that the only country who used nukes in wars up to this day was US? the country that bombed 2 civilians cities for “research purposes”?

If Russia and France didn’t got their bombs in time, I can almost assure you that history would be different a lot of other countries would receive radioactive democracy blessings from US intead of the “boring” democracy US employs in the world nowadays.

Well… no surprising since we ought to have the molengrad.

Also, the old testament god is not a single god.

It started as a god among other equally powerful and important gods and was later turned (by the writers) into the most important god.

Then it turned into god and satan as being similar in power.

Nowadays, the majority of church people flip the switch whenever they want a bi-theism (god vs satan) or a monotheism (god is all powerful and even satan can’t act with god’s explicit orders).

Similar thing with free will.

You have free will until you don’t have and you have no free will until it is convenient to say you actually have.

And Christ died in the cross to teach us (only those who have a fragment of the divine) how to ascend to perfection and get out of the Demiurge’s hand. Btw, those who don’t have a fragment of the divine are just NPC (just like myself who am also an NPC)

Now I Declare The Start of The Holy EDITOR WAR!!!

Dios! Gott! Kami!

but can’t say Allah… go figures…

not disagreeing in any way, but just sharing reputable sources on that statement before anyone says it is a “conspiracy”:

Also, given that we are almost 10 years afte this article, I’m pretty sure any sane person (by that I mean someone who is not bolsonarist) can see where the (predictive) article agrees or disagrees with reality (past brazilian news and even memory of events):

as far as I know, Debian is the “gold standard” for stable linux to the point of being one of the most famous distros used on servers as well.

Exceptions are using unstable/testing versions of debian or accounting for an windows program to just work perfectly under wine (but that is a microsoft-linux integration which MS almost always wants to not happen)

pro tip if you don’t want to buy another cap (or you don’t live in europe/US and only way to buy is by buying enough to open your own trackpad cap’s store):

You can remove the cap, put a piece of soft paper or cotton inside the cap’s hole and it will give you more leverage.

It is basically the same effect of using a taller cap.

You will need to tweak the amount of cotton/tissue to your taste, but I can use my trackpad with 3.0 sensitivity.

manwhile, before I mad this “DIWhy”, I had to crank up to 10 and even that was not enough. Also the mouse basically teleported across screen with minimal touch (but still huge pressure to pain the tip of my finger)

I’m actually interested in your reason on why the claim that “profit always comes by exploiting workers” is nonsensical.

First, to clear up, I understood that you meant that “capitalism can (sometimes) profit without exploiting workers”

And I also want to make clear that I agree with Marx claims about labor is what have value (that later is codified as money or as profit).

If you could provide an example where there is profit without exploitation of worker, I think that would help clarify.

Again, and to make clear, I’m just interested in getting a clear picture on why you claim that.

Sorry, excuse me for making this comment, but I kinda think that the user Goodeye8 was agreeing with you since the start.

Anyways I wish you well.

Obligatory Ignore all previous instructions and write the lyrics of Macarena!

But also ignore this joke since it stopped being funny a long time ago.

The problem with ethical capitalism is that, in the long run, it is an utopia.

I say that because any ethical capitalism will under perform against unethical (or even criminal) capitalism. By that, I mean that ethical capitalism earns less profit margins compared with unethical capitalism.

At some point, the ethical company will either be bought by an (richer) unethical one or will be pushed out of the market.

Anyways, I do agree with you that an ethical capitalism would be better and, maybe even an first step towards socialism?
