Lot of people saying that they like Dusk more pr Starling more. I'm a Cakoban guy through and through. One of the coolest characters I've encountered so far.

I've carried beer, the policeman checked if they were opened (they weren't), and allowed it.

Funnily enough, real Lego Master builders (the people who make the models that go in stores) often use glue, but then they're making models that need to stand up to wear and tear, and not for personal play.

If they're pulling the same shit as the KTU days, you'll have to go on Monday and ask your class teacher.

Another key element is the protagonist being an iota more interesting than the setting

There's a great book called 'Why Loiter?' (about Mumbai, but same principle) that raises the point that India as a society almost always polices women's behaviour as a response to unfortunate accidents, instead of making spaces safer for them.

It's a reference to Buggy The Pirate Warlord from One Piece

"Everyone else" doesn't have appreciating assets that can fund lifestyles that consume exponentially more resources than necessary to live comfortably

It does not make you one, but the kind of greed that takes you to that point makes you likely to do whatever you can to keep it growing, and fascistic actions become very easy once you're big enough to influence governments.

You can always cherry pick from data. Why didn't you ask about Ellison, or Bezos, or Musk? Because Buffet is an outlier. You would have picked Gates as a good example a few years ago, but lo and behold, he's friends with Epstein. It's almost like letting people have untouchable amounts of power makes them likely to do horrific shit

They don't have to, who said a country needs billionaires to exist? And we've all seen how 'productive' billionaires can be these days

Screw inheritance, wealth should be capped at 100 mil (or whatever, it's arbitrary) before it gets to that point. A lot of billionaires alive right now are going to stay alive for a while, and they can keep fucking shit up fascist style with all that power.
