That would be freaking awesome if it actually runs on a regular computer and not computer we'll have 5 years from now (as was the case for a lot of emulators when they started working on them)

How beefy of a PC would you need for that?

I mean, if OEL can get back to even 50% his prime levels, he's worth the 2.25M.

It's a gamble but it could actually pay off I feel.

Ah yes, not a good person even when it would be advantageous to you, sorry I forgot you're actively trying to be an asshole lmao We had already established that, sorry.

Exactly. Most of us can't really know about it because we don't see it everyday.

All of my LGBTQ friends have a story or another of a scary situation, and I live in a very LGBTQ friendly place.

Saying there's no discrimination against them is either misinformed, or burying your head in the sand.

You're the one who ridiculed someone for "believ[ing] Canada has anything resembling free speech?"

You're the one making stupid assessment, why would I be the one providing proof?

It's always the same with you people lol

Huge companies used to make a lot of stuff back in the golden age of capitalism. General electric was a big chemicals and plastics company for instance. It was just normal.

Nowadays, those mega-corporations make more money acting as a bank than they do selling stuff. They've just kept some product lines rolling because they're profitable and safe.

You couldn't just start a motorcycle company and be competitive against Yamaha. The specific expertise they have took decades to build, so why waste it by closing down those weird branches when they're still making money.

It sure is better than "It is because I said so, and I'll stop talking to you because you don't agree". Lmao

Go on then, what rights do you have that I don't?

Because maybe, just maybe, you're a good person?

Oh and also because pretty much every economist agrees that lower inequalities are better for the economy. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It sounds absolutely great in theory, but in practice it could never work.

Say I want to build a house: As a society, we've come up with mandatory building codes that tell me how to build a house that's going to be safe for everyone.

Suppose we got rid of this regulation for libertarianism's sake.

Most people would still build to code because that's just the smart thing to do but a small proportion of people would build it the cheapest way possible because it is now their god-given right to do so.

When that house inevitably fails at the worst possible time, I don't care too much about what happens to the guy himself. He understood the risk and did it anyways. But in a worst case scenario, he could've been hosting a kids party that day or something.

Now apply this analogy to.. Basically any regulation you'd want to get rid of.

It's kind of always a balancing act between stopping people from killing each other from sheer stupidity, and letting them do and say whatever the fuck they want when they're between their own four walls, and pure libertarianism doesn't allow for that.

HE is free to say and do whatever he wants, he owns the platform.

He literally made it so his posts appear before others because he was getting less likes than other people.

You on the other hand? You better say what musky boy likes.

 

Discuss this free agents crop, what you think about how your team is doing, the trades, etc.

 

What do you think about this pick?

IMO, it's a bit of an early pick for a 4th liner, but I can see the team morale implications being worth it for the organization.
