What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes?
  • They are less powerful and easier to tax. It's all about power, The rich by themselves are less powerful than the masses when the masses are together. Which is why they're taxed at all. There's something more powerful

  • If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater?
  • The rivers bring salt to the lakes and ocean that they erode when passing. Those get saltier over time. Evaporation filters that out and feeds the fresh water to everything again, but the salt gets deposited in the more permanent structures.

  • What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?
  • Garlic butter spread over bread (alentejano bread has a tiny bit of olive oil and it's preferred but it's the bread that's at hand, white form toast bread usually), toasted with filling of green olives, mushroom, dried tomato and peanut butter.

    It's all preserved stuff so it's back up when you don't have fresh things and the sweet of the peanut butter ties in with the olives quite nicely, I only like black oxidated olives otherwise.

  • How do I get my clothes to smell like I just bought them at the store?
  • People who enjoy eating enjoy tasting or enjoy the feeling of things going down their throat. Can be psychological too and not attached to the physical stimulus.

    Do you guys not like sugar or the sting of spice? The whole ritual around eating, making food or heading somewhere to eat influences how good food makes you feel.

  • If I was selling a bag of flour and sugar to a CI who thought it was meth or coke can I get in trouble? How or why when I am selling a legal substance?
  • Just want to add that the Portuguese document there is a scientific paper, not legislation. Not sure on how proposals might have been changed the law in the 4 years after it but it's become more pertinent because the increase of tourism was accompanied by these scams (my source for this is word of mouth, take it with a grain of salt)

  • Subnautica 2 is coming in 2025 with four player co-op
  • The first one had one advantage the others will never have, it was brand new, everything was new. Any other that comes out you'll have expectations. It needs to be better to even match how good it felt to play for the first time.

  • Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?
  • Ah, yeah I get that. Java interpreter so you can virtual machine your way into having someone else making sure the thing works with all hardware it can live in.

    Blind scalability and flexibility are neat tho, gives access to a lot less knowledgeable people to do stuff and theoretically frees up those who know for more complicated tasks.

  • Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?
  • Whole that's true, you have Philips and flat heads and ikea hex which could all be those sort of flat and star that are for common people that could be more universal.

    About software were a lot freeer, because if it doesn't have hardware and specially infrastructure requirements, such as the whole Internet layers or new visualisation devices you're open to change things up a lot.

  • Civilization VI: Just another knowledge check 4X game
  • You can play a lot of PvE games without competition. Deep rock galactic, space engineers, Minecraft mods, left 4 dead, divinity original sin (or baldurs gate 3 these days).

    I think there's AoE and starcraft co-op these days.

    You can also okay grand strategy games in a peace with players war with cpu only game.
