bioemerl,

Money gets around and the government has a history of nailing people in unexpected ways.

bioemerl,

Not really.

Rob a bank? Thanks to serial numbers they can tell it's you who is using the money.

Steal from your neighbor? Same deal. Someone will notice.

It's all risks and consequences. Most big acts of "evil" still have those risks and consequences even if you can stop time or whatever else. And your ability is going to be worth so much fuck you money to scientific and other use cases that you really won't have reason to steal or whatever.

bioemerl,

They're doing it in every country really.

bioemerl,

Then don't use it. I don't use Facebook every day.

bioemerl,

Oh my God you have to pay for a service you use?

The scandal! The outrage! The horror!

bioemerl,

I hope this is a joke

bioemerl,

Whoops

bioemerl,

Just pluck them on occasion, it's fine.

bioemerl,

And convince them to build more nuclear plants.

bioemerl,

Does it still produce more emissions than solar when your have spin up the natural gas plant every winter because people need heat and the sun isn't out?

bioemerl,

there aren’t any costs to subsidize.

Literally the entire development cost. Games don't appear for free. They are developed with the money you pay.

Regional pricing is basically saying that for some reason video games should cost more because you have more money to spend on them.

That's just asinine. Every other industry that tries it gets widely criticized for it. If you want to get more money out of people with more money, give them more stuff. Don't arbitrarily decide something costs more in one country than it doesn't another even though the distribution costs are identical and the development costs are identical between them.

bioemerl,

I'd rather force companies to not use third world labor so they stop suppressing our salaries and pushing down investment in first world labor productivity.

bioemerl,

Literally just open up a few games in steam DB. It's a smooth gradient of nations with differing prices. It would absolutely not be negligible.

bioemerl,

May all regional pricing end. I do not want to subsidize development costs for third world nations.

bioemerl,

They have a supply. It's based on their cost to produce.

companies are looking at extracting maximum value for them. You seem to dislike that.

With artificial region locks that shouldn't exist. Open markets are better, and the bigger the market the better it is.

bioemerl,

Seems like those projected numbers are wildly out of line with the trend.

bioemerl,

We’ve evolved while being irradiated by the sun for literally billions of years. Your body has mechanisms to repair damaged DNA and kill+replace cells that are too damaged

We evolved for lots of things that are harmful overall. Unless there is evidence that sun exposure gives some non vitamin d advantage the fact it literally causes cancer means you should avoid it in general.

I like how your rebuttals both say that supplements are both not able to give you vitamin D but also simultaneously a risk of overdose.

Avoid the cancer causing radiation. Just take a pill every day and get your blood work done to see how much you should take.

But at least with infrared people won’t spread misinformation about how there’s no safe levels.

That's because infrared light doesn't cause cancer. Although your support for infrared light exposure does identify you as a bit of a quack.

bioemerl,

a safe dose of UV-B

  1. The safe dose is zero and you can take a pill for vit d
bioemerl,

Anyone who has lived next to someone who positively trashed their home or played loud ass music all day will enthusiastically disagree.

HOAs are very common and they do a lot more than regulate fence color.

bioemerl,

That this would be done in the first place is a case of the hilariously evil.

bioemerl,

Despite their hatred, HOAs do serve a valuable purpose and being mandatory is an important part of that.

There should be a limit on how many homes can be a mandatory HOA by city, IMO, but not a total ban.

bioemerl,

Reddit is going to need a couple more GPT bots to handle that one

bioemerl,

I would love to see reddit succeed, but at the end of the day they have chosen to close of valuable user created information to the internet and declared they they alone possess the right to sell the stuff you freely contribute.

They are shitbags and the company deserves to burn. Bring back forums.

bioemerl,

Jesus Christ, do we have a good reason to believe that this was the admins and not some other random third-party group just deciding to do this for shits and giggles?

Because on one hand yeah I could totally see red it doing this after all of their other stupid mistakes so far.

On the other hand this seems really strange to me and it just seems so insane to think that Reddit would even think of doing this.

bioemerl,

he’d “be a slaver rather than a slave”

Wouldn't you if you were given that decision and it was even or?

It's a stupid world to you because it's never either or, but people like spez rarely have the tact to think that far.
