  • Overall it is profitable for people to be alive, but to the society as a whole. But to the insurance companies every health issue means loss of profit, and when that loss outweights the potential future dues, they would love to and actively try to write off person to die.

    So let that sink in: the people that in the capitalist system are tasked with healthcare of society, are incentivised to deny people any nontrivial care.

    Truly the best of all systems (/s)

    Nice to see Musk having some real wholesome inspirations.

    What’s next, recreating Torment Nexus from the famous novel “Don’t Create Torment Nexus”? Though Elon brain chips is already Torment Nexus for all the monkeys who lived and died in insane pain in the development process.




  • They were planned in 20’s and during III Reich only around 15% of the plan was complete, their importance was very limited because not many Germans had cars and overwhelming most of transportation both civilian and military was done by trains, but the PR was colossal and all the fash ever since masturbate to it (i know your post was ironic, but to add some context for people that might not get it).






  • The hate was so intense it caused the publisher to disavow the series entirely.

    The game wasn’t exactly flop money-wise, it sold about what they predicted it would and at least one big DLC was heavily hinted in the game itself. What really killed it is the fucking 2018-2020 era in computer gaming when multiplayer shooters propagated like crazy and idiot doomsayers and other marketing “experts” prophecised end of not only RPG genre but single player games in general, for example Bioware was ordered to drop everything and make the Anthem trash.

    Agree with placing Andromeda here though. That game did had some glaring design flaws (like ship and vehicle being unarmed and alien having just few different faces) but overall it wasn’t nearly that bad as haters say.


  • It definitely can be, for example art is very often hoarded as form of investment, and this can be a much lower-price form of the same, but not necessarily. I would say the more those things price is, the more chance for hoarding.

    That is, economically. If you mean hoarding as in psychology probably it’s more depending on person, a lot of people i know including me were collecting more or less useless things but nobody i know went into true hoarding problem and most of those people at some point got bored and got rid of their collections. Other than above personal experience, idk.

    Imo they aren’t getting nearly enough of hate they deserve. I’m not against figure collecting in general but FP are the ugliest motherfucking thing i ever seen in this department, for the same amount of resources, labour and energy they could produce something much better. In fact, a consistent long serie of figures faithful to the original (not ultra-deformed) across so many franchises would been great, but alas only thing there is are those unholy abominations.
