  • Yes, it's a shame fascists are so hell bent on doing that to us. But perhaps if they experience consequences, they may elect to do literally anything else with their life than harass queer people.

    But I know I'm being too optimistic.

    Some fascists would rather die than be better human beings... So it is only generous to oblige them.

  • whether one wishes to call it "currency" or not, there will always be some form of communication between the systems that decide what is produced, how it's produced, and for whom.

    Although part of the problem with currency in the liberal capitalist paradigm is that the household sector has a deliberately suppressed voice in that decision making process.

    In capitalism, the private corporations and government bureaus just eat each other's excrement and try as hard as possible to ignore the household sector (the citizen population).

    The ability to communicate demand is the entire purpose of even HAVING some store of value/means of exchange/unit of account.

    Automating this such that nobody would even have to do any personal tabulation, though, would indeed be ideal. Such as the lovely Fully Automated Gay Space Communism of Star Trek! Everybody's basic needs are met and even most of their reasonable wants. Even then, not everybody can just requisition a whole-ass starship for their own personal use, though. There are inevitably SOME limiting factors on what someone can acquire.

  • See, that was their problem. Their last best hope for peace was a truck stop? That is not where you get peace. That is where you get the opposite of peace. They could have only done worse if it were a space waffle house.

    Well. They're dead to me now.

    Of course, I'm lucky enough that I can afford to shop elsewhere; it's the duty of all those who are capable to abstain for the sake of those who cannot.

  • Here's how I think a GoG subscription might work out:

    The money goes into a balance on your account. It just accumulates store credit.

    You might raise the question of "why would they want to do that", to which I say:it's guaranteed income for them and they make a profit by selling games ANYWAY.The fact that they get this income consistently is good for their books.

    You might also raise the question of "why would anyone want to participate in that", to which I put to you this:I want to give myself a "gaming allowance" of a little bit each month but saving is hard. If I am paying GoG a monthly subscription, though, and I accumulate a balance of credit, I can get games without it impacting my budget outside of what I've exactly allotted.

    What else do I get? The warm fuzzy feeling of supporting GoG. Which I'd definitely do anyway. Honestly, letting me turn my subscription into store credit is a huge boon. I don't NEED any perks beyond that.

    Oh here's something GoG could maybe do, actually:an extremely UNOBTRUSIVE cloud storage drive that they say is for Save Syncing (and automates this if you're running the galaxy app) but that they'll let you store any arbitrary files in it as long as what's in it fits within the space they've designated for me... and furthermore if this space got bigger the more store credit I have built up, that'd be the tits too.

    OH OH OH I thought of two other perks!

    • What if the cloud storage suggestion also automatically "stored" "copies" (in your "personal" cloud storage box) offline installers for games you've purchased so that you can still download them EVEN IF they get "delisted" for sale?
    • What if your subscription gave you sliiiightly more than the cash value in store credit? Like only 10% bonus.If I am paying $5.00 per month, they put $5.50 store credit in my balance each month.

  • I've been saying this a lot lately because it seems like arc words for the zeitgeist we're living through but good gods above and below it just keeps being relevant:

    Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
