  • Umm… pirating windows is your recomended solution?

    Look don’t get me wrong I could say it’s if anything more cost effective for simply the dev’s to say “OK anyone who has more than 1 hour of linux play time prior to this date qualifies for a refund”.

    Of which, most likely is a handful of people so easy work.

    Screw privacy sensitivity that’s a moot point. Installing windows isn’t a minor tweak to a computer .First of all the suggested method is technically breaking the law. Secondly you are talking minimum adding in a windows partition, so an extra 50 GB storage on top of the amount the game takes. Comprimizes to the boot loader on the system, in which there’s a high chance of messing up an existing install.




  • It would be kind of interesting to see if there’s a ratio of evil characters to their actors doing crimes. I mean the most obvious that comes to mind is Kevin spacey. Though it doesn’t seem to be higher rates for celebs that play evil characters vs ones that play lovable good characters. Least most don’t consider Bill Cosby or OJ Simpson to have played particularly evil characters. So I’d say in general money and fame cause an increase in likelyness of being evil, the on screen persona doesn’t seem to be a huge contributing factor.


  • Agreed, russia has proven themselves more dangerous, and more laughable at the same time. Their ability to underhandedly destroy us from within is far stronger than we ever were allowed to believe. Their ability to mount an actual attack, is far more laughable than we thought.

    Though I do suppose the real scary part of it is. The potential death throws kind of attack. Putin’s immaturity, narcissism etc… is far scarier than we have ever understood. Russia quite frankly is the superpower that I could easily see hit the point of “If I can’t run the world, I’ll destroy it so you can’t have it”, and quite simply we’ve never seen or understood the potential of Nuke vs Anti-Nuke warfare.




  • I’d assume same reason most politicians are. In a capitalist society, those that pool the most money will tend to gain the most power and influence. So the churches that talk to the rich man and say “of course god is blessing you because you are such a good person” get more money, and thus more influence, than the churches that pay attention to the “It’s harder for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven”. “Succesful” religious leaders become the ones to teach the next generation of religious leaders. Causing more drift into the same idea.

    Then of course the pro-corporate candidates also do really good virtue signaling. Because when the religious leaders do not want to focus on the Rich, they still need a bad guy to rally against, and since nobody needs the church to tell them murderers and thieves are bad… the church takes a more strong stand against things that are accepted by society that they can consider against their faith. (abortion, LGBT etc…)
