Producers sometimes like to include personal references.

I’d rather have that than micro transactions or unfinished games with half of what was promised or less.

Old trash cans and even sturdy bags work for potatoes if you can’t find big pots. Clean pallet wood that has only heat treatment can also be used to make planters that last a few years.

PeerTube isn’t too bad if you’re willing to host your own videos as a big creator, and smaller creators can pool resources for smaller instances.

Maybe they didn’t like the guy and jumped at the occasion.

Works like that in Belgium as well.

France trusts that people will be nice but if landlords play dumb there’s 10% interest per month after one month, and it can be expedited in small claims court if you prove bad faith and/or fraud.

Why Russia’s Vast Security Services Fell Short on Deadly Attack (www.nytimes.com)

American intelligence had been tracking the group closely and believed the threat credible. Within days, however, President Vladimir V. Putin was disparaging the warnings, calling them “outright blackmail” and attempts to “intimidate and destabilize our society.”...

Israel’s security was also useless (and friendly fire is still a big uncertainty), France’s security was also useless…

Seems like that conspiracy would require more people not leaking it, ever, than just being incompetent in counter insurgency like every other military force in modern times.

Do many Swedish people treat alcohol like this or only the illegal stuff?

The grifters have succeeded 100% if you think paying taxes is honourable in any way shape or form, especially in a declining empire that fields the most onerous army in history.

If you think the State, choosing to ignore certain negative externalities through regulations — like water pollution — by not holding the guilty parties accountable and pushing up pollution targets, is going to get you clean water, as opposed to any other system where accountability is not distorted by coercitive rules that are almost impossible to challenge: I don’t know how any more naive that position could be. When pollution is not associated with having to pay for cleanup and the financial consequences are negligible, even the stock market picks up on it and publicised major pollution events don’t mean a company’s valuation plummets.

I didn’t know weather forecasts and bridges were more difficult for people not paid by taxes.

The IRS is in the USA.

You can’t choose where tax goes to. One penny for child murder to one dollar for cancer research is still not making the child murder acceptable. With that ratio the US would never wage war.

Taxation is not voluntary and is deployed with violence. The US also wants control of the world’s financial institutions to be able to tax any US person in the world without too much difficulty.

Because when the Fed sends trillions of dollars into the money supply and the federal and State governments create budgets they are less responsible than people doing their best to give the minimal required amount that won’t get goons sent to their house to kidnap them?

An empire in decline is historically more morally degenerate and bloated by endless bureaucracy that feeds off the declining numbers of productive enterprises they can tax.

Society and the State are not the same. How can it be true that taxation is vitally important to make society function then?

Do you find open source games interesting/good thing as a gamer?

@games I am a game developer working on game called Mushy Score. I decided that my niche would be to create open source games. I think these could be helpful for developers or teachers to teach about games and how they are made. Most open source games are small game jam games, but there are few “real games” that are open source like 0 A.D. and Doom. As a non-developer do you think open source games could be good thing?

You can charge people for open source software. Most people on Steam won’t bother building your game from source even if it’s not difficult and you distribute the assets freely.

Open source is better for the longevity and distribution of games, also for knowing it isn’t malware. I wish more games were open-source, the industry likes trade secrets and DRM but that isn’t sustainable (most games have been lost over time, and we’re probably close to 99% of source material and documentation being extinct).
