Unfortunately 90% of jobs require contributing to and reinforcing the worst aspects of society.

It makes it too easy to game the system and create gridlock because you only need influence over a bunch of very small percent of the population.

Smaller states should have less of a say. I'm not sure how that seems unreasonable. The people should decide. It doesn't matter what state they live in. It might have made sense 200 years ago but now I can't believe people seriously support it.

I've got the old mars skin for the cutter without the deluxe edition. No idea where it came from.

My experience with crashes has been very weird. I'll go 10 hours without crashing and then suddenly I'm crashing left and right until I leave that area or something? But there's nothing wrong with the area because I'll go back to that area and spend hours there(one crashing spot was an outpost). If your experience is similar you could try going somewhere else for a bit and returning?

An ssd is the best bang for the buck upgrade to a slow machine in my experience. Putting even a cheap $40 Kingston one in my grandmas old ass computer took it from unusable to decent speeds for web browsing/office applications/etc. I highly recommend you get one.

I just wish they would put out an update to the core gameplay loop. There's all these interesting things to do but I can't get to that point because collecting resources seems never ending and its incredibly boring. The gunplay is absolutely atrocious as well.

Sound libraries mean that many games/media share sound effects or even textures and models sometimes. The Wilhelm scream is the most famous example of this.

Its only a visual change so the npcs still think you are wearing a suit.

I had one repeating crash in the kreet lab. Realized I didn't update my drivers. Updated and no crash since so far. Only a few hours in though.

Copyright definitely needs to be stripped back severely. Artists need time to use their own work, but after a certain time everything needs to enter the public space for the sake of creativity.

Not sure where you live but in America stop signs are everywhere. You can't go anywhere without hitting multiple.

In my experience most people don't even know what a zip or rar is or how to extract them.

We're already getting pretty horrible rulings. Whats to lose?

Hide your shame? Not sure who this appeals to.

You cannot reason someone out of a position that they did not reason themselves into. Most of the time they even think they are being logical and reasoned their way into their beliefs, but because they refuse to rectify their cognitive dissonance, they are stuck with contradictory beliefs which they haven't accepted are incompatible.

No one can be trusted with AI. Its misuse is inevitable.

If you get a sufficient following, you will get death threats. Its just an unfortunate fact of life I'm afraid.

I've never understood this idea. Usually I see it in reference to anime. How can you even appreciate the voice acting when its in a language you don't understand while you are trying to read something in English?

This is a constant cycle.

Tech nerds invent new technology/platform>nerds flock to new thing>the masses hear about it and start flooding it>money notices a large user base that isn't being complete wrung out for money>money destroys the new thing by making it unusable for profit>repeat
