or communism. with any fringe ideology, if it fails, it failed because you implemented it wrong or not enough. Bitcoin can't fail, but you can fail Bitcoin. Somalia isn't a stateless society as there are anti voluntaryist warlords. if you got rid of the warlords and all people capable of being coercive, you'd have a utopia.

As long as the game does not come out, they can fly their imaginary ships in their imagination. Everything is exactly the way they think it should be and everyone is happy. If they didn't buy those ships they wouldn't imaginarily own them! They'd have to watch other people lording it over them that they have more imaginary ships in their imaginary game.

This $15k package is just two copies of a bunch of ships, most of which aren't even playable yet in their little deathmatch thing. Once they're blown up, they're gone forever e: Things you can do with most of these ships 1) Look at pictures of the ship 2) Admire the ship 3) Gaze longingly at the $15000 transaction that it took to purchase these ships

yeah the bonus thing was only for the first $10-20 million or so iirc and was 'lifetime insurance' with strings attached so it's not necessarily infinite respawns. all the later orders after that are literally just people spending irl money to avoid having to play the actual (hypothetical) game because the whole game is built on rmt full disclosure: i 'own' 1 of the cheapest imaginary internet spaceship (cheapest tier for a game preorder at the time)

Sweevo posted:permanently destroying the ships someone spent $15,000 on is going to take griefing to a whole new level I'm not so sure. Doing this kind of thing in Eve eventually felt empty because the people you were griefing had already griefed themselves to a degree so great that merely blowing up their spaceship could never even come close. Then again, the forums were full of meltdowns from people who lost their precious mining vessel or whatever, so I must be wrong. Someone who would, without hesitation, spend $15k on a spaceship game that's not even out yet might be either rich or deeply broken.

DPR on the other hand is completely hosed. When they busted him, he was logged into the silk road website as dread pirate roberts, logged into multiple chat programs as dread pirate roberts, was wearing a nametag that said "my name is dread pirate roberts", and singing a pirate shanty about how he is dread pirate roberts. While handcuffing him he screamed out "you can't do this to me, i'm dread pirate roberts, i can pay someone on the internet to kill you with my drug money"

I created an explainer for ChangeTip  quote:bad example, given no homesless person has a desktop PC, at least make it a smartphone, but even that is super rare. you should just not choose a homeless person as the receiver, given that is almost non-existent in tipping. quote:Dude, chill out. quote:"chill out"? I'm as chilled as ever, anymore chilled and I'd probably fall asleep. I'm just providing contructive critizism and even a possible improvement. plus it doesn't matter if it's a comic or not, what matters is the purpose which is "an explainer for changetip"; IMO it doesn't accuratly and helpfully explain it. what is there to chill out over?
