IMO the last time capitalism got something right the Netherlands was still called Orange

So apparently China is doing a Hecking Censorship^TM by snubbing LGBTQ writers and those critical of the PRC in the latest Hugo Awards nominations. Anybody have a source for this that isn’t blatant Anglo hate-mongering?

Fuck, Samurai Cop is bleeding into reality

Also, what level of cognitive dissonance is Starmer on that he can lead the “labour” party and still read The Sun?

When the world needed them the most, CCR vanished…

I suppose the 1979 incursion would be fresh in the memory of the Vietnamese political apparatus; more so than other alleged historical transgressions.

Indiana Jones will probably never see a better game adaptation than Uncharted, it seems

Sells it to Godhand Marketing Inc. for a pittance and guts (haha) the entire workforce.

That is one part of the equation, sure. Buy It For Life should be a cornerstone of transition economies, at least. However, I feel like future policymakers will have to be more radical and find ways to shelve commodification as a mindset altogether. This includes the concept of “shopping” as a leisure activity, but also other things such as consuming entertainment at the volumes we do today, and reduction in the role of consumption in courtships. I’m not even sure if such a shift is possible, and would possibly cause widespread resentment if it were to be implemented at scale.

I’ve been lurking on the subreddit and then here since 2016, but the overwhelming majority of my posting has happened in the past couple of months with my current account. I’m not sure if that means I’ve pushed the envelope of my social anxiety or not…

I have a feeling that it would be more along the lines of the patron-client model that propped up the creative economy of Renaissance-era Italian city states. The key difference being that, with basic needs met, you’ll no longer have to bear the last name Medici to have the resources needed to become a patron.

On the other hand, I also think that, in light of the climate crisis, we may have to significantly scale back the commodity economy. One way I envision this playing out is a reservation system for raw material on a community basis that would enable a grassroots patron-client and gifting ecosystem.

[pls note I have no sources to back these theories up. They’re a hodge-podge of stuff I’ve come across over the years]

Those seated dudes would make for some zany emojis. Mad King Ghidorah vibes

Haha, it’s so much more limited than MSFS, but, bless it’s heart, it tries

It is a bit annoying yeah, but still leagues ahead of a lot of cancerous UI I’m used to seeing these days

Thanks! This is a much better tracker

I really enjoyed MS Train simulator back in the day, but it is old. I don’t even know if it’ll run on modern systems

I haven’t, could you give me a safe url?

Thanks, this works! Would still like a torrent for archiving purposes, but this ought to do for now
