You know, sometimes I feel bad about gambling some money away on the stock market and feel a bit like a failure. But then I come across posts like these and I remember that at least I do not fuck up on a colossal scale like this.

Banks: Hold my beer!

And later blame it on the workers that unionized.

Have you played the game though? It’s filled to the brim with content. I already have a lot of hours in and I think I’m only about half through the game. You talk to friends and everyone is telling a different story of how they approached a problem in the game. Almost every conversation in the game has voice lines.

It’s absolutely not flawless. Controls are clunky, path findinf of your compagnions is weird most of the time etc. But you absolutely see that this game is a labour of love and not a quick cash grab. Plus again, it’s massive and it’s one of the few games where I actually understand them not being able to fix every bug in the game.

So I wouldn’t say that we lower the bar with them in relation to bugs. They have raised the bar in content and overall quality so high that you are more willing to forgive / overlook a lot of the issues, as long as they are not game breaking.

Ah yes, please acknowledge the good we are doing in this world: The bare fucking minimum.

If you want Anarchism, just say so instead of using vague answers?

And the thing with “Educate yourself” is so fucking lazy and a dumbass argument if you claim to have the answer?

No, you are not elaborating on your better alternatives. We KNOW that democracy is nort perfect. We are just looking for a solution that is doable in todays world. So now you come in and claim to somehow have a better way to do it. But when questioned, your answers are very vague, we have to pull all the info out of your nose. This tells me you probably don’t have any better solutions or just some vague idea of one and no real world application for it.

Of course I would try to work it out. But you just assume this always happens, but what if it DOESN’T?

So some form of tribalism? And what if you generally like living in your consensus community but one thing rubs you wrong and you’re against it? You just leave and look for a community where you agree with everything 100% all the time? Good luck with that.

In a group… you mean a very limited setting where you can discuss directly with everyone and get direct feedback in real time from everyone?

How do you suggest that this might work on a large scale, with millions of people?

Edit: And if for example 10 million people somehow found consensus and then one guy is like “lmao no”, everything gets canned?

Why don’t you enlighten us on the other options then? I’d love to hear it.

No, already tried that. Unfortunately doesn’t work…
