| Topic | Capitalism vs communism |

Is there enough demand for the factory's output to warrant the cost? Well an entrepreneur has to take a chance with a big investment to find out. The workers are able to create value with their labor because the entrepreneur took that chance. Do you seriously think large groups of people run themselves autonomously and effectively like that? Do you think democracy works xd |

| Topic | How's Elder Scrolls Online doing? |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 10:51:26 PM #2 | I hear it got a lot better since launch. If you want something different I recommend Secret World Legends. It's 100% free (there are obviously microtransactions associated with that), lots of content to play through with more on the way, and it's a bit different than your typical MMO fare. |
| Topic | Capitalism vs communism |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 10:24:05 PM #30 | 1337toothbrush posted... Automation is going to put capitalism through an interesting test. Without labor earning money, the system falls apart. If automation lives up to its hype, we'll see really high unemployment rates. The Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy explores this idea, and I kind of like what they were driving at. I really believe we ought to invest in under developed nations and implement these infrastructure and economic changes there before trying to do it in our own countries first. Maybe that's selfish but it seems like a win-win to me. |
| Topic | Capitalism vs communism |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 10:14:54 PM #26 | Samurontai posted... Hexenherz posted...How are those not prime examples of truly communist societies? The basic needs of the society are the primary motivating factors behind the actions of the society, they don't typically have private property, there's little to no "corruption" because there's nothing to fight over except the potential power play for a leadership position, but those are generally very highly revered and protected by religious dogma and deep-rooted tradition... and realistically because of the limited population sizes, there isn't really much room for a potential usurper to multiply influence to take over anyway. Just because the modern concept of communism is relatively young doesn't mean the phenomenon or principle can't be applied to something that predates the coining of the term. |

| Hexenherz 07/24/17 9:45:05 PM #5 | Samurontai posted... Ideal communism (as in zero corruption) will always be better than capitalism, but the odds of an ideal communistic domain ever existing is basically zero because corruption is basically a part of being human "Ideal communism" exists. Just in tribes that haven't developed past the first century. |
| Topic | Best artist or band to start with the letter: F |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 9:41:42 PM #42 | Falco but if it has to be a band specifically then I'll second Fleetwood Mac. edit I'm an idiot and didn't see the "or artist" in the topic title. so just Falco. |

| Topic | Is the Desert Eagle a good self defense weapon? |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 9:32:59 PM #8 | Self-defense of whom and where? If it's a house, a shotgun is just better overall. Easy to load and easy to aim. You can change the type of shot to try to minimize collateral damage as well. With a "deagle" if you miss you're more than likely going to punch a hole in the wall and you might hit someone you're not intending on hitting. Even for a concealed carry you wouldn't want a "deagle" just because of its size. |
| Topic | High CEO salaries are seriously overrated |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 9:09:03 PM #2 | That's their publicly claimed salary, but I doubt that's the full picture. |
| Topic | What is a good MMORPG on steam? |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 5:21:05 PM #12 | Leanaunfurled posted... Oh, free. sigh. I second this. The gear/equipment system is a massive drag but the focus is on the world building, the lore, and the mission design anyway, and you tend to get what you need - just make sure to do the research on the improvement system beforehand or you might wind up wasting "shards" and/or equipment. |
| Topic | why is the new arrival page on netflix showing me things that aren't new. |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 4:56:23 PM #4 | Yeah that autoplay "feature" is annoying as shit. I'll open a show to read the description and it just starts playing. The first time it happened I thought it was just a trailer and then I realized it was the actual show. Netflix is kinda going downhill, I'm thinking of just canceling my sub and switching fully to Amazon. |
| Topic | Undeniable proof that Hillary is a lizard person |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 4:45:04 PM #40 | Kid_Buu posted... lizard people did nothing wrong they trapped our bodies and minds and spirits in the space around this planet and new people from other planets know about this but they are incarnating into our bodies and also becoming trapped. |
| Topic | What are millennials killing today? |
| Hexenherz 07/24/17 4:42:41 PM #41 | EternalDivide posted... I'm no millennial but I've never understood why so many people prefer what tastes like a bucket of piss left out in the sun (beer) over a nice mixed drink, a straight shot or a glass of wine. You're not drinking good beer if you're drinking piss water. Unfortunately all the major breweries in the US make watered down garbage so |
| Topic | How many bad star wars movies would it take for people to stop going |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 10:24:39 PM #64 | Offworlder1 posted... TFA apes ANH badly and tries so hard to be like it without having a good cast of new characters, a joke/ineffective villain who acts like a baby who shit his diapers, and gets beaten by a nobody with no training. The villain was the only consistent and worthwhile character in TFA imo. The rest of them were slapped together in like five minutes. |
| Topic | Modern MMO design is one of the most baffling things people put up with... |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 8:23:36 PM #34 | TheMarthKoopa posted... MMORPG Quests make me furious. I should be able to go on my own adventure instead of being told where to go because quests are the only way to level at a reasonable rate, and sometimes mandatory to unlock content. And the rewards are WAY too good for the effort. "You killed those 5 wolves for me? Here's a powerful magic mace that's slightly better than what that guy over there gave you!" That's why I like the missions in The Secret World - there are some good stealth ones and puzzle solving ones that can make you pull your hair out with how ridiculous they are. @MrMallard - I second that. Runescape has an appeal to it that a lot of modern games don't. It's very relaxing to grind out skills and listen to music. The quests play like classic 90s point-and-click adventures moreso than the stereotypical MMO fetch quest... and it's just been around for so long, I don't think I'll get over that nostalgia whenever I load it up. |

| Topic | How many bad star wars movies would it take for people to stop going |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 6:57:10 PM #29 | Offworlder1 posted... Some have already stopped going to see the new SW films in theaters after TFA was such dog shit. I mean, I hadn't gone to the movies for a Star Wars movie since Episode 1 (and never saw 2 or 3). Went to see TFA, was thoroughly annoyed and unimpressed, and decided to call it quits on that... |

UnfairRepresent posted...Hexenherz posted...DonaldClinton posted...Damn_Underscore posted...Obama's mom is a US Citizen so doesn't that make him an automatic US Citizen no matter what physical location he was born? Same with Ted Cruz I'm sorry you're too lazy to do research into what constitutes a "US citizen by birth", because your narrow definition of "a person born in the country" does not align with the legally accepted interpretation of what a US person by birth is. A quick Google search will go a long way. |
| Topic | CNN: Trump still unsure Russia interfered in election. |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 5:45:28 PM #39 | And even if you don't believe that Trump himself was wheeling and dealing at Mar-a-Lago with Putin, the statements and behaviors of his relatives and those he has directly nominated and appointed to serve in his administration have repeatedly demonstrated on numerous occasions that numerous meetings were held with Russian officials and that there is some sort of conspiracy at some level (be it on an individual level or an Administration-wide level) to cover this up. Numerous intelligence agencies have also spoken up about the probing cyber activities of Russian affiliated organizations during the elections throughout more than half the states. This is the modus operandi of the Russian Federation - look at what they're doing around the world. I repeat, this is not "lol democrats bein' dum 4 4 years" |
| Topic | CNN: Trump still unsure Russia interfered in election. |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 5:42:29 PM #35 | They're not. One was a completely fabricated lie that served only to rile up one political voting base for future elections. It concerns domestic politics only. The other is an indicator of a larger problem endemic to Western civilization as a whole, caused by one aggressive adversarial country. This problem extends beyond the boundaries of "democrats and republicans"; there is extensive evidence that such actions were taken by this other country; there is extensive evidence that similar actions have been taken in our ally nations; and you are completely wrong for trying to claim that this is nothing more than democrats and republicans being democrats and republicans. Open your eyes - even a Republican-controlled Congress is rallying for harsher sanctions against Russia. It has 0% to do with domestic politics at all. |

| Hexenherz 07/23/17 5:30:20 PM #23 | Yaridovich posted... It only took one movie to make me stop and that movie was Episode 1. You're missing out, the originals are actually fun adventures with actual characters in them. They can be kind of slow though. |
| Topic | CNN: Trump still unsure Russia interfered in election. |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 5:22:52 PM #24 | Again, racism, and Obama, have zero place in the discussion here. This is not a domestic policy issue. This is not "democrats and republicans lol omg look at what they did ten years ago". This is a contemporary and enduring problem of foreign policy from an aggressive adversarial nation. |
| Topic | CNN: Trump still unsure Russia interfered in election. |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 5:19:52 PM #18 | Well, the problem was that Obama was actually born in the US and has a US birth certificate. And Cruz is technically a US citizen by birth because of the relatively general definitions granted under various interpretations of the Constitution. At any rate, it's an entirely irrelevant issue to this one which is specifically Russian interference in US democratic processes and Trump's potential collusion therewith. And a broader topic (but still relevant) is of Russia exerting influence abroad in many Western countries in a similar many, not only in the US. But birth certificate talk has absolutely zero place in a topic like this. |

| Topic | How many bad star wars movies would it take for people to stop going |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 5:16:06 PM #18 | I feel like the original trilogy was decent and that was about it. There have been some fun / good books set in the Star Wars universe, and some interesting video games, but... as far as cinema goes, they don't really hold much merit. |

| Hexenherz 07/23/17 2:53:25 AM #4 | Are you asking where to back up your music to? I'm really confused... You can put them up literally anywhere - Google Music, Amazon Music, etc. and access them from your phone. |
| Topic | Anti-trans Texas Governor proves how stupid bathroom enforcement is. |
| Hexenherz 07/23/17 2:46:22 AM #26 | Anteaterking posted... I don't exactly understand. Did he claim anywhere that she was a cis woman? That's what I'm wondering, too. This guy probably poses with a thousand people a day for photo opportunities, do you think he's even paying attention to what they're wearing? He probably doesn't even know what time of day it is and he's probably waiting to go back to his bus and get some Chick Fil A. And even if he DID know it was a transgender person, do you think someone in a leading political role is just going to come out to someone's face and try to insult them or something? You look at the Facebook post about this and people are blowing up with ecstasy and I wonder what the hell is wrong with them. How could so many people be so wrong about something? |

| Hexenherz 07/17/17 9:59:28 PM #9 |  Also I was reading the history of that show, I guess Tim Allen and one of the kids had a massive falling out because the kid wanted to pursue his schooling instead of staying on the show and Tim Allen was pissed off that it would screw up the dynamic. |
| Topic | Really good lightweight Antivirus? |
| Hexenherz 07/17/17 9:58:08 PM #3 | I second Avira, it's a pretty solid program. The advertisements if you don't pay are kind of annoying but it's whatever, it's free and one notification a day isn't the worst. |
| Topic | A Wrinkle in Time film looks so cringeworthy and tryhard. |
| Hexenherz 07/17/17 5:36:49 PM #10 | Oh snap I was thinking of "Running Out of Time". Anyway I probably won't see this movie Wrinkle in Time, but I think it does look pretty decent as a kid's movie. Yeah it's got some hokey CGI effects in it but overall it looks like it has some vivid imagery that makes it stand out from a lot of these cookie cutter formula-driven movies they're pumping out. |
