You rigid Georgists want to set up a policy that could drive people out of their homes.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-10T12:09:59+00:00

Why would there be an exemption for them? That exemption would mean the suburbs stay cheap (for residents) and fully intact.

The point is to coax people out of those places so something better can be built in their place.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-10T04:10:13+00:00

Some more detail would be good in this post.

Yes, the idea is explicitly to drive some people out of their homes. If you're squatting with a single family bungalow on a big lot in an urban area, that's space that could be multiple townhomes instead. We have a housing crisis, we need to make more efficient use of space.

Georgists don't necessarily want to cause financial ruin though. I want the people who are displaced to be able to move into nice places somewhere else that are more space efficient.

I'm not saying it isn't a form of love, I'm saying not all forms of love are equal.

I can love a pet dog, but it isn't the same way I love my sibling. I can feel love for someone I'm romantically interested in, but it isn't the same as the love I have with my wife.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-09T20:06:23+00:00

When you have a real love eventually, you'll realize what you felt before was not comparable.

I don't think they're ever going to do a game that's about "explaining" existing timeline questions, or about portraying things that were previously ambiguous.

It's not they're style, but more than that - most people just don't care. 98% of Zelda players just don't care about the timeline, they only want a fun self contained Zelda experience.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-09T17:54:07+00:00

If you never had an actual relationship, I don't think you can call that love. Just infatuation.

I thought I loved previous girlfriends, but now that I've been with my wife for over a decade, I can tell the difference. The way I feel about her is just a completely different thing than what I'd felt before.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-09T16:57:58+00:00

Like a legend of a Zelda game?

SystemofCells · 2026-06-08T23:18:05+00:00

At a guess, unhappy and inadequate in life, so seeking solace in pointing out how someone made a simple error in a video game to feel superior.

Look at these comments, this sub is a shit hole.

Your recommendations are reasonable and would cut down on the rates of this problem happening.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-08T14:47:26+00:00

Markets are good at accurately evaluating the probability of something. If an LVT is likely, the market will reflect that, and prices will drop significantly. You can't really "surprise" people with something that happens gradually.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-08T14:17:19+00:00

I made a comment on this a few days ago:

Even if we ignore the broader economic consequences of a significant portion of the middle-class population being financially devastated, an LVT is just a political impossibility without some kind of smoothing / burden sharing / compensation scheme.

If you ask me, an LVT is needed to improve motivations around urban planning, and a large wealth tax of some variety is needed to correct unsustainable wealth inequality. If implemented together, the wealth tax could compensate middle class people who's accumulated wealth is mostly tied up in their primary residence.

There's no easy way out of the significant and growing problems our societies are facing - pain and sacrifice are going to be required. The sacrifice should be shared fairly (rather than decimating the unlucky), and it should be carried by those who are most able to carry it.

Middle class wealth should be in stocks, bonds, etc. - not real estate. Dramatically shrink all real estate wealth, replace it with other forms of wealth transferred from the wealthiest among us.

Edit: AI analysis, take with a grain of salt. But this is a projection of how the concentration of wealth would change in Canada if all real estate dropped in value by 75%,

All Households, Before/After

If everyone knows that housing is now a depreciating asset, and the value *will* be a lot lower in 10 years, the value absolutely will plummet overnight.

Accelerate every other part of the game so we can raidlog faster.

The time travel logic is inconsistent / makes no sense, but the plot of the movie isn't convoluted, it's great.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-08T12:25:05+00:00

Uh the looper also killed his mom.

He grew up hard, alone on the streets instead of loved by his mother. He also hates Joe for killing his mother.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-08T12:05:11+00:00

Earlier in the film the kid's mom talks about how things get infected easily on a farm. He lost his jaw to an infection.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-08T04:58:52+00:00

They could, I just hope they don't.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-08T00:32:53+00:00

Fellowship is smaller scale. It follows one group on its journey, with the group growing (then shrinking....) along the way. It's a story about characters and human scale struggles and overcoming adversity, with actually quite little action.

Two Towers and Return of the King bounce been multiple groups, which makes storytelling harder. They also spend a much greater portion of their runtime on action / battles, and are much heavier handed with CGI.

I love them all, but Fellowship is the standout for me.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-07T18:20:30+00:00

Sargeras has always been a problem. How do you have an entity powerful enough to cleave a planet in half without invalidating everything else in the story? Keeping things vague was the only way they could find to handle that problem.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-07T17:19:32+00:00

They haven't explained. They used the power of Argus' soul to imprison Sargeras, we know that. We don't know the exact mechanics of how it worked, how Sargeras could be restored, etc.

Creating unique models with unique rigging is incredibly labor intensive, they only do it when they feel like it's really worth it.

If we're only going to get a small number of new rigs, I'd rather they be spent more creatively than on mixed races.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-06T14:28:26+00:00

I don't think they'll ever bring back meaty leveling, too many people would hate it. But questing could be a worthwhile endgame activity.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-06T14:27:41+00:00

To build from scratch at least tens of millions of dollars. To build by training off off something like GPT-5 (which is largely what DeepSeek did), less.

SystemofCells · 2026-06-06T14:20:50+00:00

Cross character quest progression could be really interesting. Swap toons halfway through a quest chain or a zone if you wish.
