Oh yes, the dream! You’'ve read Ian Banks’s The Culture series?

Yeah, that idea is left *and probabably authoritarian. For it to work you have to take things from the owners.

If you don’t want an economy (money) to balance resources, how would you do it?

Word of the year!

I remember noting the bad handles and windows when sitting in one.

And temperature?

Well, if digging a moat was the goal the US certainly is there. Canada will have a field day with European tourists during football world cup.

Illegal street racing being more preemptive and calculated is more immoral, unless they block the road to be certain of clear road, but drunk driving is overall worse as they are less in control.

No, the First-Past-The-Post system + media polarisation makes it a two party system. If you had proportional election you would have more parties, because the rest votes don’t dissappear. The US election system is from the 1800s and outdated.

I had been reading, mainly fantasy up until that point because of 2 less understandable sci-fi books. The feel of realism and cynisism, mixed with optimistic philosophy. I’m not a very visual reader, but that book made some awe-inspiring scenes in my head. It’s just the very peak of 80s sci-fi

I also newly started boycotting them for the same reasons. Plus they don’t give enough to the musicians, and support AI music.

I’ve jumped to Qobuz, but it’s weirdly selective in what countries it’s available.

Hei nabo! We say “jeg skal mikke den” meaning “I’m gonna mic it”

This kind of dishonesty should be taken out early. Criminalize it.
