"Yes, we already have more empty houses than homeless people, but I'm sure building more houses is the solution to homelessness. We can't disrupt the economy, after all."

We need to instill voters with the courage to vote for actual left wing parties so we can get some politicians in Parliament who'll just do what needs to be done, and seize the empty houses from the investors and landlords.

Users on Lemmy think another person's feelings, if those feelings are in any way self-positive, are a direct and personal assault on themselves.

The thought, "You think you're better than me!?" Has become a core driver of interpersonal interactions

Or they could just keep the legacy endpoints intact while still adding new features.

Do you think under a communist gift economy, release dates for media wouldn't matter?

Capitalism manufactures scarcity. Even when we have plenty, capitalism must create limits on the sharing of free resources

This rule comes into effect in 2032, mind you, so it's not as aggressive as I'd like, but it is good.

Why doesn't the Chinese federal government just ban new coal developments?

It doesn't work like that. The biggest danger of plastic waste is that it can release microplastics into our waterways and food supply. You can clean up tossed bottles, but you can't clean microplastics.

If there's a nuclear war I'd rather be using the decentralized, free to use mode of transport that is bikes. Or legs. When the war comes all the car drivers will run out of fuel in a couple days and have to steal it, but I already have a bicycle and cannot be stopped by the breakdown of society.

But it's not hard.

I haven't played Morrowind, but I hear that you can connect to an enemy with a hit, and then a die roll determines whether that actually happens. It seems to me that while such a feature would be good for making a character with their own unique strengths, it would be damaging to the immersion required to inhabit that character. Thus, immersion building features that make the character do what the player does, can easily be considered roleplaying features.
