Maxwell cat to improve forum mood
I’m obsessed with the long-term nuclear waste warning messages, it’s really interesting how alien and desolate the architecture of the place is, and how eerie and redundant the warnings are, but if I were an archaeologist from the far future I would obviously dig that place, like there must be something important there, right?

You are way late. Revolutionary Games Studio is already an established association in Finland. It’s not possible for a generally useful association to transform into a locked down company.
We have info on our website:

belgium, I’ve missed quite a lot in a couple of hours. Anyway, changing subject…
When will Valve announce the Deckard! Please, Lord GabeN, give us another headset!
what does the ‘ry’ in Revolutionary Games Studio ry mean? Is it like a corporate abbreviation (like co., etc.?)
Continuing the discussion from Pointless debate again against established science or facts:
This isn’t fair, I couldn’t post even once. Anyway, I’ll just be active in the wiki and suggestions for some time.
why ending the discussion is unjustified
Firstly, there were people who wanted to talk about this topic. Banning it would be against the will of the people.
If seeing too many arguments and negativity in the forum makes other people feel bad, the discussion can be turned into a private thread with a public invitation link.
Second of all, it is unconstitutional.
The discussion wasn’t about two political parties in a country. Farming, green energy, capitalism and communism will be in the game and the arguments people made here (without citation) can be examined in other threads.
This isn’t r/CapitalismVSocialism, but at least it is relevant, more than the average “not thrive” I would say.
The third reason is that, there is nothing wrong with a discussion being heated. Someone said people were snarking[1], it didn’t felt like that to me. Why the discussion had gone wrong wasn’t explained.
discussion
I agree
There is an invisible hand, but it doesn’t always help the people because people have inelastic demands. Ireland and India both exported food and made a profit during their famines, it turns out people that are starving can’t suddenly get a degree and find a new job.
These figures are disproven. Capitalism can increase overall gdp, but poverty was only reduced with the emergence of left wing governmnets.

Medication costs way more than how much it costs produce them. That is because the companies can price the drugs as high as they want, and they do. Capitalism isn’t the case here, another company can’t produce the same drug for cheaper because patent laws are broken and patents don’t expire* like they should.
I guess if the economy becomes stagnant, adaptive radiation would end, the number of niches get reduced and the competitive exclusion principle would ensure that the small companies would go bankrupt, no matter if the government issues stricter regulations or not.
The first stages of capitalism is the most innovative one, once the government or a company becomes a monopoly, the economy stagnates.
Companies try to make profit, but the purpose of a government is to make money/production too, othervise it can’t keep existing. They exist in the same environment and are subjected to the same rules. Companies are the junior partner in this symbiotic relationship, unless it is a banana republic.
A company is a government like entity that only owns some of the buildings in a city (or infrastructure like oil rigs) instead of making a territorial claim on antarctica.
But the line between a government and a company is vague. A company can build houses* and roads for its employees, become a company town* and declare independence (or think about the east india company), or a country can lose all of its territory and turn into a company*[2]
Democracies just do whatever the people wants in the short term. Dictatorships can be more succesful than democracies because they think for the long term.

no. it was moved for a reason. it was not meant to be continued. if you wanted it to not devolve to the point where teaking had to threaten account suspensions you should’ve made sure none of the people that start uncivilized arguments from civil ones took part.

Like 50gens himself? He didn’t partecipate in it. If you wanted it to not reach that point then zenzone shouldn’t have mentioned politics to begin with.
Political theory is different than trump vs biden, also I was sleeping.

Several things I’m tempted to respond to, but I think it’s best not to…

i was either asleep or doing things that don’t involve the thrive forums when it got even remotely close to devolving into madness so i couldn’t have stopped it from reaching that point, also when i was originally part of it, it was one of the most civil arguments on this thread.
And it wasn’t civil afterwards? It was shutted down because of politics not uncivilty.
The Rules. Ban. Politics.
People’s will Doesnt Matter If It Breaks The Rules.
then why didnt you make it private?!
you could have EASILY made a PM with zen, Frale and willow and continued your silly discussion there
there was absolutely no need for you to post this in the public forums and risk causing everything to flame up
the last few messages literally devolved into frale and Zen arguing about which system is better MORALLY, Thrive has no use for that kind of thing
Also, Arguments without citation? you really expect that to matter for thrive now?
and a Final warning: public continuation of the discussion is prohibited, any future reply to that convo will be suspended

I think it is a good idea to kick this conversation off the back and talk about something else entirely:
Do you have plans for the upcoming summer vacation?
I have exams from next month until August, if I didn’t have (hopefully not) the B dates for redoing (that until end of September).
Then maybe I’ll be busy with other things - maybe I’ll finish the genesis of the Minecraft mod I started working on or I’ll build a small game against my will or alternatively - practice drawing even better.
And that’s on the condition that the situation works out somehow.

Well to be fair we were arguing about which was better economically, it just so happens that the better an economy is the better the lives of the people are.
Frale and I agree on that, if not particularly on which would be better.
Hmm… Let me see… Working, getting money, working, getting money, buying the Onyx Boox Ultra C for school stuff, waiting for the Valve Deckard announcement, working, getting money, maybe buy a Steam Deck, working, getting money, find another treatment than antidepressant because the second antidepressant I’m about to try might not work, working, getting money and then wait for school. Man, my previous summers felt so much more fun than this.
A random clip has come through my mind. It’s a robot with a monkey on its shoulder and it takes a cassette labeled “What?” and inserts it into its belly and then says “What?”. Does anyone know this clip?
