On one hand that sounds like hilarious cope, on the other hand it sounds exactly like the kind of arcane rules the Catholic Church would have.

"TradCaths" are probably raging.

Hilarious how they either don't believe in or sometimes don't even know one of Catholicism's main tenants, Papal supremacy.

Can we really call this one an attempt?

No commercial use can be pretty valid. You might not want some big company using your software.

(Not that that applies so much to a PS1 emulator.)

Our daily service calls are dwindling down to half a day or so’s worth of work daily.

We just jumped from 125/hr to 175/hr

I bet whoever made that decision doesn’t see the connection there. Such a logical system.

I doubt the need for those things has gone down, right? So it must be because people can’t afford it. The companies could literally just lower their massively inflated prices and have more business.

When your system is so logical and efficient that it comes crashing down because a few people refuse to reduce prices.

Yeah, he’s kinda right in that he just wouldn’t be the same person at all. The soul stuff is bullshit but

There is no scenario in which me, with my brain, my personality, and my genetics, could be born in Haiti

is about right (aside from maybe his parents visiting Haiti at the time, but even then if he had parents willing to visit Haiti they probably would have raised him a little different). Although genetics probably plays a smaller role than he thinks, since being hateful is taught.

But of course all of that misses the point of understanding someone else’s situation and thinking how you would feel and act, i.e. having empathy.

Looks like they're part of the "Heroic Military College".

Pictured: what Germany should have looked like after World War II.

How would you even punish jurors for that? Someone else (the judge I guess) would have to decide that their decision was "wrong", and at that point why even have jurors?

Sounds like a shit therapist. That's basically "just be happy".

Shown is a man, woman, girl family, but every 2 adult 1 child family now shows the same, with similar icons for the other numbers of each.

Actually it looks like Google still represents women and girls in the new ugly icons, but man and person (gender neutral) show up the same as do boy and child (gender neutral).

This is literally no steps forward, many steps back. Especially for Apple, wiping out both sexual orientation and gender representation. And Google conflating male and gender neutral is pretty bad too. I see no good reason for this change, not even a profit-motivated reason. I think it might have something to do with representing race. i.e. a silhouette is more race neutral than yellow. But they could just support mixed race families instead.

Microsoft on the other hand supports all the possible family combinations of both gender and skin tone, which Apple and Google never supported. Here's the built in Windows 11 tool to make a family. Each person's gender and skin tone can be changed.

Tangent: on the other hand, Microsoft refuses to support country flag emojis for some reason which is annoying.

They better include a reference to the bear. They already have Wojtek and the polar bear.

Organized by some third party, but hosted on Steam.

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/upcoming_events/themed_sales/economy_2024

Games that are about capitalism, economy, or money grubbing are allowed in this event. It doesn't have to be real money—cookies count as a currency!—but the entire goal of the game should be to make money.

lmao at the not at all subtle beg for Cookie Clicker to be part of the fest. I hope it’s not.

Games that are mostly about trading or bartering are not eligible for this event. Sorry, this is an event for Capitalist titles only!

Trading and bartering is economy. And an economy isn’t necessarily about maximizing money earned. If they just wanted capitalist stuff they should have left the word economy out. It literally says capitalism or economy in the description.

I’m guessing it’s just brainworms who think economy = capitalism.

Anyway it would be hilarious if Workers and Resources applied to be in the fest.

Construct your own republic and transform a poor country into a rich industrial superpower!

Economic simulation. Prices of resources on the global market are changing over time as you play –one day you can sell or purchase steel for a $100 per ton, but in a few months the cost can rise to $200 or decrease to $50. The price of everything is connected to the cost of work and resources.

See, it’s about making money and economy. That’s what you were looking for, right?

Or what’s some game that critiques capitalism by having you take it to its logical end? The organizers could probably be tricked into accepting it.

Some lib stuff about ebil Hamas, but mostly good from what I’ve watched so far.
