A little star like that probably has a close habitable zone. I wonder if the planet gets tagged by solar flares?

Borderlands did it:

Hyperion suggests that you do not think about the fact that this is only a digital reconstruction of your original body, which died the first time you respawned. Do NOT think about this!

Are your talents and contributions unprofitable? Go to jail.

Demand a fair wage? Jail.

Has your invention been stolen by someone with more money than you, but you continue to insist its your invention? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

We have the best wealth inequality because jail.

Ultimately, money is power to tell other people what to do. Deregulation leads to monopoly and one person having all the power. ‘Libertarian’ capitalism is an oxymoron - when one person has all the power to tell everyone else what to do, that’s a dictatorship. All right wing ideologies are authoritarian.

On a sufficiently large billiards table, it does become hard to prove that some balls don’t spontaneously sink themselves.

There was a relevant post on Lemmy the other day:

The origin and nature of existence is an epistemological black hole that some people like to plug with “a wizard god did it”.

The sensation of free will is an emergent property of a lack of awareness of the big stuff, the small stuff, the long stuff, and the short stuff.

That’s an unfortunately common misconception about lib-left.
Anarchy does not mean “no rules” - that’s the right wing position of Deregulate All The Things, and it predictably leads to chaos.
Anarchy means no hierarchy - rules are created through democratic process instead of by minority authoritarian fiat.

Yeah, I know, I’m just not a fan of how the meaning of words has been corrupted in PCM to better suit the right wing aristocratic agenda.

I know how gerrymandering works in USA’s system - the last two far-right Presidents were elected despite the center-right candidate getting more votes. But the margins were tighter in those contests - a few percentage points not double digits. I’m curious about the peculiarities of the French system that lead to such an apparently wide gap between votes versus representation.

Disbanding monopolies is ‘authoritarian’ like locking up murders is authoritarian.

Criminals and capitalists deprive others of liberty - preventing them from doing so is libertarian.

A similar concept applies to neutralizing the threat posed by tyrannical nation states. Would-be tyrants will call it ‘imperialist’ in their propaganda when the effect is actually an increase in freedom.
