We are pretty dumb though. On the whole. We've had a lot of our higher education people emigrate.

They emmigrate. We are losing tons of smart people every year this last decade.

A good analogy to this is the emperor of America. He was just some homeless crazy dude in San Francisco in the 1860s. He attempted to price gouge the Chinese during their rice famine but shortly found himself under water on his rice contracts. This left him homeless and bitter so he named himself emperor of the United States. He somehow started printing his own money and some places feeling bad for him took it.

That's how the world sees America. Oh, the crazy folk are just down on their luck. They'll likely either die or end the world in a few years but at least they're making record profits.

Game developer. I'm one now and I have 10 years of experience making great games. It's highly competitive but I could see myself getting it.

If I couldn't be one I'd them be a math teacher and apply game development to make algebra fun and interesting.

Literally the comment above this one is talking about wanting to be a farmer because they grown good weed. A lot of people actually want to just clean up stuff. A lot of people like being a plumber. That said communism doesn't mean everyone just does what they want.

If you have a wireless Xbox controller it becomes far harder. Xone is what I want to use but then I have xow, xbdrvr and a bunch of other things to deal with. Or if I want to actually use my Nvidia video card to it's fullest ability, well good luck.

Linux is awesome but has a bit to go for me. Although it's been that was since it stopped being my daily driver in 2014.

Some mini black holes do not grow into black holes. They collapse. The issue is that they aren't stable for any decent length of time. Fractions of a nanosecond.
