No. Atheists being skeptical of the baseless claim that God exists makes perfect sense, the gnostic claim that God at least provides a hypothesis is perfectly baseless.

People who touch grass tend to enjoy it.

New Vegas has no technical issues if you mod it properly these days!

One of the most unjustified review bombings in recent years, IMO. The game is very much a standard Bethesda game, and is fine. Mods and DLCs are what people buy Bethesda games for, anyways.

Don't get me wrong, Bethesda themselves are very mediocre game devs, but their specific style of game lends itself well to modding.

Starfield is just as mediocre as Skyrim and Fallout 4, everyone who made Morrowind great is gone, Bethesda games ride on the success of their modding communities.

The truly unpopular opinion is the one you're pretending is popular, people aren't advocating for immediate replacement without building up green energy and replacing it entirely.

Growth and stability of necessities aren't mutually required.

You can have controlled or even negative growth and plenty of food and necessities.

Imagine it this way: what if we made it completely illegal to make party favors and other single-use items with no benefit? Growth would lower, but food production isn't hurt in the slightest, and other jobs can exist.

Yep, Marx predicted this actually. A huge portion of Marx's literature is even more relevant today than ever before.

The best product should not be what's most popular in Capitalism, what's profitable to produce is what's most profitable. With tons of competition, you just have competing levels of automation, corner cutting, and exploitation.

Competition and markets in general are the cause of enshittification.

Increasing taxation is an incomplete band-aid.

Competition doesn't lead to innovation in improving people's lives, but company profits. See: enshittification.

As much as I can without harming those who depend on me.

 

I'm a big fan of the usual big hitters like Viva New Vegas, but are there any lesser-known mod lists you love? Right now I'm enjoying The Sands, on Wabbajack. Never would've tried Vicious Wastes, otherwise!

 

Like the title! Do you have any favorite characters that you've made, across the entire series? Could be any Fallout game.

One of my favorites is a techno-religious Brotherhood Scribe, that takes massive inspiration from the Adeptus Mechanicus. Ultimately sided with Elijah at endgame.
