“Mainly” and “mostly” 🤨

ugh

Many people think murder shouldn’t be illegal actually (and unfortunately). We also have capital punishment in the states, which is just state sanctioned murder.

obviously any murder should be illegal. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that.

If you think it’s needed to affect change then I’m not sure you actually believe this statement as much as you say.

I’ve got a steam deck and still saving for my computer so luckily I can be patient ha

Exactly. All of this concern about drivers and compatibility kind of washes away when you know Valve is standing behind it. I use elementary on an old Lenovo and Mint on an old MBpro, i’m decently comfortable with Linux. But you can bet I’d rather a steamOS experience for gaming just so I don’t have to think about it basically ever.

Yeah which is why we have legal guardrails - to protect us from folks who think “eye for an eye” is a sane way to operate in the 21st century. They can have their opinion, but I sure don’t want them setting what is legal.

If steamOS finally updates again for desktops it would certainly help. I know that is literally the last thing I am waiting for before I build a PC. I am fully ready to completely build it around steam OS.

Yes I know about bazzite and no that is not what I want to do lol

No argument here

It has two sources of funding (taxes being the second) and there isn’t a middle man skimming a cut while paying older participants simply with new participants’ money while claiming their money is invested to generate money to pay them all out. The entire point of a Ponzi scheme is you are pretending there is money being generated that isn’t, you are just using new victims money for as long as possible until the music stops. They literally make up numbers to cover their tracks. It’s a fraudulent enterprise by design.

It is not a Ponzi scheme. It is literally not a Ponzi scheme by definition. You are making up your own rules and definitions because of how it feels to you. Do I think it is flawed and not a great way of handling these funds if you want them to be steady in the longterm? Absolutely. But it is not a Ponzi scheme.

I’m done man.

Oh come the fuck on you can’t seriously be going “I’m just saying it’s not zero!“ and acting like this is the discussion at hand.

68% in particular is stretching the term “vast majority” especially when that 32% is people who pay for insurance every fucking month for the explicit purpose of being covered.

They aren’t asking for a handout. They are entitled to this coverage. They paid for it already!
