I'm not sure that using the entire QA staff of the world's largest agglomeration of Dev studios on a single game only qualifies as "not cutting corners". That's surely going above and beyond.

They are optional you know?

Or at least the expectations people had made for themselves.

Not soon enough, that glowing bastard has it coming!

So called seamless experiences just add time and tedium, because they're hidden loading screens. Take me to the content please.

You have done that yourself

That's 4x higher than car related deaths per number of car owners, and cars require a license and insurance, and doing something dangerous with one can have you lose your right to use it permanently.

Cars have the additional factor that they are practically required for living in the US, so reasonably we would be willing to accept a higher number of deaths than we would otherwise for other objects.

There will of course be different sources of information, but that does not mean that they will present a fair and balanced spread of ideas. The capitalist class will push their own interests. A single owner is not required for that to occur

8 billion people is absolutely sustainable, we could support significantly more at a modern standard of living with just the resources we use today. The problem is the way we organise how and where we live, and a parasitic owner class using and abusing vastly more resources than they could ever need.

• Education
• Opportunity
• Help those who don't want to give birth not to give birth
• Reduce the influence of religion that promotes childbirth and irresponsible family planning
• Reduce the influence of pressure to grow in every way that is likely exacerbated by capitalism

And if after all that people still want to have children?

Nature will bring our numbers to sustainable levels if we don't do it. Nature will not be so kind.

Let it try, we'll see who wins.

And it is you who calls someone fascist?

Fascism is when you improve people's living conditions.

The axis is authoritarian-libertarian, not liberal. The definition might be different in common parlance, but people not understanding terms in political science through ignorance is not a reason not to use them.

A liberal socialist is a subset of liberals, the same as social democrats and social liberalism.

You cannot seek to preserve capitalism and also be a socialist.

And to Germany's communist party, fascists were also distasteful, bigots, and extremists, and they would lead to the collapse of capitalism.

This would be a good mirroring response if it had any amount of truth to it. To the Communists in Germany, the fascists were their mortal enemy. The two parties were fighting in the streets. The Communists saw the fascists as a capitalist system, they certainly were not under the impression that fascism would bring about the end of capitalism.

A declaration by the Communists that the Fascists would collapse under their own contradictions is not evidence to the contrary, or evidence that the German communists tolerated the fascists.

Liberal and libertarian are not the same thing and cannot be conflated, and authoritarianism isn't anything with a state.

I swear, the political compass has rotted people's brains.

Under capitalism, the capitalist class controls the media, and can use their wealth to control the political class.

A democracy can only make choices so far as it's voters are informed, and when a group controls most sources of information, it can control the democracy as a whole.

I don't know why, but that's disgusting

That's a misrepresentation of old English. Man used to be neutral, and was modified by were and wif respectively for man and woman. Wife comes from woman, not the other way around.

I feel like this is a Star Wars reference, It seems unlikely there will be one in Stsrfield, human made at least

Firstly, liberals are not left of centre, they are the original capitalists, the ideology that socialism was built in opposition to.

Secondly, Liberals will always side with fascists when push comes to shove. To liberals, Fascists are distasteful, bigots and extremists, however, fascism does not threaten the liberal system. It does not threaten the liberal ruling class, at least inherently, whereas socialism is an existential threat to that class. To a liberal economy, to a liberal nation.

The pyramids have chambers that were unopened for over four thousand years, bone dry inside. Pick an area with very little rainfall, surround it with rock and the problem will stop existing on human timescales.

Not hugely. Actual nuclear waste, not just mildly radioactive uniforms and similar material, is extremely small and compact for the amount of energy generated.

The source you linked talks about uranium reserves. Mineral reserves, known and unknown deposits, refer explicitly to the known amount of economically minable supplies of that mineral.

Discussion around them can be misleading, especially for a growing industry, because as a resource becomes more scarce, it becomes more economically viable to mine difficult deposits, this growing the reserve. On top of that, the effort and technology tend to yield new methods of both mining and refining that increase yields.
