I guess you write a bunch of gibberish, press execute and hope something happens?

I’m in the same boat. I like it but unlike Reddit, I feel like closing the app after 10 minutes of scrolling because I either keep seeing the same posts or the posts have no comments to interact with.
Commenting here because I can’t upvote twice. As usual, it’s the religious nutcases again that believe we should live according to a fairy tale written 2000 years ago…
As ridiculous as that sounds, that is basically the explanation they gave me.
The wannabe communists and those trolls from Hexbear.
This is by far the best one.
No harsh words or vulgarity but lots of emotional damage.
Exactly what you said. Most devs know they’re not putting out high quality games but the money flows in and that’s what they’re told to design.
I’ve had a conversation with someone on Reddit about this some years back.
They basically explained that people are being told that healthcare/social security is socialism and they’re being told that socialism is just communism under a different name and therefore is bad.
Yeah I never understood that ( I’m from Scandinavia or as your conservatives describe it - that socialist hellhole ). I recall seeing a study some years ago that the US spends many billions a year more on healthcare than it would with universal healthcare.
So what if my taxes pay for the treatment of someone’s cancer? It goes the opposite way too, healthcare that I need is being paid for as well and nearly everyone needs some sort of hospital or emergency care at least once in their life - regular doc appointments likely once or twice a year. Over here, I make an appointment and walk out without paying or even seeing the bill.
This is a good point. It’s like saying people don’t like bananas because they buy more apples than bananas.
I would simplify taxes as being the cost of being part of society and therefore the tax money should be put back into that society to benefit the people being part of it. Healthcare, education, maintenance of public roads/buildings/parks/…
It’s not theft, IF the government puts that money to good use e.g. health care, education, maintain roads, utilities, …
It does, unsurprisingly.
