intensely_human, in Do you feel a UBI is more left- or right-wing (or other) and why?

I think it’s left because it’s a social support thing, and I think it’s right because it’s super simple and puts power in the hands of individuals to choose how to spend it.

As a libertarian, I support UBI because I think a society with UBI has more liberty than one without it. I’m a conservative, so I abhor complex government, where petty tyranny can hide under the guise of policy. And UBI is simple.

Cowbee,

Leftism is about worker ownership of the Means of Production, rightism is about Capitalist ownership of the Means of Production. You’re adding extra values onto it that don’t actually exist. For an example, conservatives are de facto for large government, at least in America, just with no social protections and a huge military and police system. Being “simple” isn’t right wing either.

Just popping in to say the level of reflection and accurate analysis between you and parent comment is dazzling. Spot on, friend.

Cowbee,

Thanks, buddy! I try to give analysis from a leftist perspective without using big theory words that might scare off non-leftists or baby leftists, I find people tend to accept and agree with leftist theory if broken down in basic building blocks. Have a good one!

Star Citizen, Valve's long delayed first foray into the world of MMOs.

I’d let Emily Pitcher from Sondering Studio remake every single game with soundtracks composed by Lena Raine. This includes Chicory, Celeste, and of course, Minecraft.

It would be kinda difficult for her to remake that last one ngl.

Also, I’m the one that remasters the soundtracks to make them sound like they came out of a Sega Mega Drive (for Muricans: Sega Genesis). This is clearly the worst idea I’ve ever come up with considering how long this would take especially for only 2 people.

PRUSSIA_x86, in What prevents you from going to bed early?

Nothing

xionzui, in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Religions are sort of like mind viruses. The ones that have survived have done so because they are very good at taking root and multiplying in the human mind. Sort of a natural selection of ideas. They develop the necessary features like a way to ignore contrary evidence and severe consequences for not believing

Welt,

Richard Dawkins coined a word for exactly that - a meme.

Thorman1, in What do you think is the coolest designed sci-fi gun?

The zero G room gun from enders game looks pretty sick. I wasn’t that much of a fan of the movie compared to the books but the gun design was pretty good. Also does star lords gun from marvel count? That’s a pretty sick one too.

How does something come out of nothing

ExfilBravo,

You are right. How did a God just come from nothing?

You’re presupposing there was nothing at one point. We know that is the case for the physical universe because otherwise entropy would have ended actions an eternity ago. An eternal being not subject to the laws of thermodynamics has no logical need for a beginning.

Linkerbaan,

That’s the requirement of god. Eternal and almighty.

progressquest,

You’re just avoiding the question. Declaring it so does not make it so.

PrincessLeiasCat, (edited ) in What do you think is the coolest designed sci-fi gun?

It’s simple but sleek - the WESTAR-34 blaster pistol that Jango Fett uses in SW Ep 2.

Also looking up the name made me realize that this website exists…seems like an IMDB wiki of movie weapons:

www.imfdb.org/…/Star_Wars:_The_Prequel_Trilogy

stoy, (edited )

The IMFDB entries for older shooters really show how many misstakes they made, look up Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Half Life, Half Life Opposing Force, Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam for some good articles

PrincessLeiasCat,

Thanks!

PlzGivHugs, in If you could have any game remade by a studio of your choice, who would you want working on what?

A Pokémon remake by Valve. It’ll come out a decade late, sure, but knowing Valve, they’d try out a bunch of new tech and mechanics (desperately needed by Pokémon) and then polish it up to excellent quality.

badbytes, in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Our fragile minds still get scared. While looking for answers, you can find those who claim to have them.

corsicanguppy, in If you could have any game remade by a studio of your choice, who would you want working on what?

Total Annihilation3 by a rebuilt caveDog software.

ryathal,

If you haven’t checked out Beyond All Reason yet, you really should.

xkforce, in What prevents you from going to bed early?

Ever tried to shut down an ADHD brain that has easy access to a multitude of distractions?

Snapz, in What prevents you from going to bed early?

Lately, “just one more episode” of the tv show ER. It’s just too compelling and designed to pull your attention in with the music hits when they get a new trauma in and start yelling.

PlzGivHugs, (edited ) in What do you think is the coolest designed sci-fi gun?

A couple that come to mind:

Boltguns, and esspecially the bolt rifle from Warhammer 40k - specifically because its so massive and brutalist in design to look intimidating.

Ar-2 from Half-Life 2, for the more grounded yet still entirely sci-fi look.

Finally, the Shard Gun from Xcom 2
