Peak speed is not the same as travel time. A car is faster in terms of peak speed, even if it isn’t faster in terms of travel time.

I’ve been using it on linux as well, though I’ve been using godot script. I’m not the biggest fan of godot script, but again it gets the job done and has IMO very little bullshit.

While a good choice, I don’t feel warm and fuzzy about the prospect of being turned into some horror creature goop because I happened to walk down the wrong alley.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve touched it, but godot is always going to have my favor. It works very well, doesn’t have any bullshit.

I just need more motivation to finish my existing project, and keep the desire for a new one at bay.

Yes that would be lovely, until then though?

“You’re not allowed to criticize the status quo unless your solution can be done instantaneously”

because Reddit doesn’t think anyone should have a car?

This is a strawman argument

I envision walkable communities

To be fair, it’s exactly the sort of tone deaf thing they’d do.

The inverse of this should also be true. Just because my game occasionally takes a minute to get set up as I try one or two different versions of proton doesn’t mean I want to be told to switch to windows so I can get my data mined further.

You’re not al one, I noticed it too

Will there be cuddles afterwards?

But also once you get to the office it’s all just hotel cubes with insufficient conference space. So everyone will still do their meetings virtually on teams, but now with extra steps.

Fuck.

Surely the economic wellbeing of your average citizen can’t get worse over time and therefore be a “lately” thing. It’s not like food, housing, and healthcare are getting more expensive.

Reality is worse than this picture though. The landlords are contributing to all thkse knives and grenades, intentionally.

But everyone hot (I would not want to forget)

Excessive pussy

Every day I find a new reason to hate this country.

This is more idealist than materialist. “Power” isn’t a real substance, it has no ability to “corrupt” people or turn them “evil.”

But you are suggesting we create organization structures with authority over others. Immeasurable or not, it has an effect on human behavior which cannot just be ignored.

People act in their own interests, and in capitalism profit is the driving factor. The capitalists at the top are the ones that best get the most profits by any means necessary, so the ones at the top are typically more morally bankrupt. It wasn’t that power corrupted them, but capitalism as a system selected for them.

And police organizations select for those who enjoy (or are at a bare minimum comfortable with) having power over others. The same goes for government structures.

That isn’t to say corruption doesn’t exist in socialism, it absolutely does, but that isn’t because of metaphysical powers of corruption.

I never said anything about this being a metaphysical effect. This is an effect in relation to human behavior, organization, and economic structure.

Further, as Dessalines said, socialist planning and administration is more collectivized, both by intention and by necessity. You physically couldn’t have a single person, or elite few, making all of the decisions in socialist society.

As I told Dessalines, it doesn’t have to be one person. A council, committee, or other group of people can always be incentivized to retain and accumulate power.

I’m not exactly sure what the question is, but if its that “power always corrupts”, this might be true for capitalist countries, which allow private ownership of capital, and creates a system that encourages and incentivizes accumulation of power.

I haven’t posed a question. And what I am trying to get at is that power itself incentivizes accumulation and retention of power.

then no one person can accumulate that much power,

It doesn’t have to be one person, a council, committee, or other group of people can always be incentivized to retain and accumulate power.

but by the socialist state who commands them to protect the people. Socialist states are going to be receptive to accusations of abuses, because that means they’re harming the people.

The PRC regularly attacks citizens and journalists that criticize their government.
