The cops just found a guy who was on a trip repairing pianos with a kid that slightly looked like the one they were looking for. They arrested him and took the kid. Even when the mother came to town to attest that it was her kid, they gave her the run around and, since she was too poor to fight it in court, stole her kid. Those kids didn't even look anything alike... People nowadays don't seem too bright on average, but I think maybe people back then were extra stupid.
Last time I played KOPNP2, I saw that you could pay for some stuff, but I never paid for anything. There was a lot of grinding, so maybe they purposefully slowed progress to make paying more tempting. I guess I didn't finish the game, but I did get pretty far. That is very disappointing of them, though. (UPDATE: I just tried to play the game, and it put a big banner saying I have to upgrade and stops me from continuing my game, I went to the play store to upgrade, and the game is no longer "compatible" with my phone despite me playing for months before... So it is an even bigger problem than in game transactions)
Yeah, that's the scam... If they were really looking to fix housing, they would give everyone 50 year loans at 0 interest on one primary residence or just enough interest to cover the paperwork.
Well, nothing is stopping the super soldiers, with or without open DNA. Most of those are not all that worrisome in any practical way, except employment and insurance. The only real answer for Insurance is single payer insurance at one price for everyone. The way we let insurance companies hold the noose around our necks in the US is flabbergasting. I don't know for sure that the rest of the world is quite as good as all that, since I've talked to people of many countries and never heard one that didn't have major complaints when they weren't just trying to dump on the US. I do feel like the US is the worst of the wealthy countries anyway. If we could stop the insurance companies from having the leverage to hold us to the fire, open DNA could facilitate research on lots of medical treatments. So I guess, first put the insurance companies out of business permanently, then open source the DNA. Which I suppose means never at this rate...
Haven't played Unciv, but the other two are ones I went long runs of addiction to. I would add Slay the Spire, Knights of Pen and Paper and Merge Maestro to that list.
Even so, if you commission a picture of Iron Man or if you generate a picture of Iron Man... both are going to be covered under trademark without any need to differentiate the two.
