They don't care about the quality of television. Writing a story that goes on and on and offers the possibility of several spinoffs is the equivalent of micro-transactions in video games : they make more money that way.

Capitalism only maximizes money, it doesn't maximize quality. It eats quality to make more money.

because conservatives believe everyone thinks like them and are just scared to admit it

just need to preserve this line because its so spot on

paradox does not mean 'has two definitions'. It means the ONE definition contains a contraction, i.e. 'tolerance needs to be intolerant towards intolerance in order for a tolerant society to exist' contains a contradiction.

Really can't agree that qyron is right, doesn't seem to know what the paradox of tolerance is

'people posting stuff you consider harmful' is not a simple, black and white issue. Anyone who pretends that allowing all opinions has no consequences is full of shit, anyone who claims that tightly policing opinions has no consequences is full of shit.

Like almost everything in life, you will have to navigate a tenuous balance between these two things and you will never know if you got the balance right. You are just a sack of meat doomed to die.

I picked up the Talos Principle - not done with it yet but enjoying it, reminds me a little bit of portal with just less polished art direction

not sure if it hits like it did in my head

yeah I think this is whats going on here

I need to make this into a planter and keep it on my desk. I don't think it would be possible to be upset with this thing around

Haha, that is a pretty hilarious visual. Do we get funny hats?

Perfect, no notes

such propaganda.

edit: oh are we doing wrong/opposite answers? mb

Bill Gates has a lot of you fooled. https://www.democracynow.org/2007/1/9/report_gates_foundation_causing_harm_with

L.A. Times investigation reveals the Gates Foundation’s humanitarian concerns are not reflected in how it invests its money. In the Niger Delta, where the foundation funds programs to fight polio and measles, the foundation has also invested more than $400 million in companies like Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil and Chevron. These oil firms have been responsible for much of the pollution many blame for respiratory problems and other afflictions among the local population.

The Gates Foundation also has investments in 69 of the worst polluting companies in the U.S. and Canada, including Dow Chemical. It holds stakes in drug companies whose drugs cost far beyond what most AIDS patients around the world can afford. Other companies in the foundation’s portfolio have been accused of transgressions including forcing thousands of people to lose their homes, supporting child labor, defrauding and neglecting patients in need of medical care.

He was still doing it in 2015 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/mar/19/gates-foundation-has-14bn-in-fossil-fuels-investments-guardian-analysis

He said again in 2019 he won't divest from fossil fuels https://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/5672.htm

People who think Gates is doing good with his wealth basically don't understand that a lot of the problems we are facing are caused by wealth inequality in the first place. Some of you are watching 6 monkeys hoard all the bananas and then when they throw you 1 you love them for it?

Edit: Theres a french journalist who wrote a whole book about the gates scam. Here an interview on youtube with him https://youtu.be/Dqzt6yAmdDE?t=246. Also fixed formatting and missing link
