I disagree, there’s quite a lot. Granted, the Depths can get a little repetitive but there’s nevertheless a lot to explore. Same goes for the Sky. There are whole dungeons to be found.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

I’m not sure if I really prefer it to Breath of the Wild which was a very impressive game and literally sets the stage for TotK but the the possibility to explore this somewhat familiar map vertically was a lot of fun for me.

Sadly, the capital has stronger weapons and professional fighters on its side to fight for their interests: soldiers. I don’t see how civilians owning guns would help, especially if some of them support a fascist regime and would fight for them.

I’m afraid your logic doesn’t hold up.

We can agree that humans have violent tendencies and that some will inevitably act on them. But let’s flip your argument: if people are violent and will always find a way to harm others, should we then legalize automatic weapons? But why stop there? Explosives? Heavy artillery? Personal nukes?

Maybe we can agree that limiting an individual’s capacity for violence is a sensible goal. Most countries restrict access to guns which seems like a reasonable place to draw the line.

Thank you for your service 🫡

I get you point. I guess I’m a simple man. OP made me laugh. I expect because of sarcasm. If he actually thinks the guy is a mastermind I’d have to laugh even harder. In any case, I enjoyed his contribution to this community. Nevertheless, you point is valid, especially with topics that are more complex.

I’m not sure that’s true. I observed more sarcasm without the need to flag it (/s) compared to reddit and I like it. My post are often sarcastic (probably a coping mechanism, the world has gone crazy) and I wouldn’t be a big fan of flagging them as such: “Hey look, I made a joke. Now laugh and press the upvote!”

No worries, enjoy your coffee.

I mean he was caught asking his daughter who is also describing her mother as her best friend to cover for him with a plan that was likely to fail to begin with. That’s not the plan of a mastermind. Actually the opposite.

It’s sarcasm, my dude.

I really liked the game something like 15 years ago. But it seems like a bad idea to get back into it now with only a few very dedicated players left.

I disagree. Improving an existing concept and changing it to make it more practical or easier to produce for example is innovation.

The examples you gave in the introduction are examples of that: The parts that make an automobile existed when it was invented and you could argue again that it wasn’t a completely novel idea but an improvement of the steam engine and horse-drawn vehicles.

The airplane massively relied on improvements in engine and material design.

Your assessment that innovations used to be completely original in their design and are not any more is a fallacy.

You mean like a hermit? I think that’s a rare fantasy. But if you want to do it, sure, go for it. Isn’t there a lot of space and wilderness in Canada?

The issue, as I see it, is that most people struggle to envision a society beyond capitalism. Capitalist ideology is embedded in every aspect of our lives. It appears in our mindset, in books, movies, and even in children’s television shows. The narrative that anyone can succeed if they work hard enough, and that poverty is simply the result of laziness, is both powerful and pervasive.

The idea that everyone should live in isolated cabins is neither a realistic vision nor a desirable goal for society.

That’s a nice quote, thank you. I looked into it. It’s by Andrew Collier:

To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough.
