Actually, I put in overtime hours for *better* pay (which then my government taxes me for at a higher rate so it can give my overtime earnings to someone else).

Incomplete. You need to work because of *nature*. But you’re able to choose what work you do and for whom because of capitalism. At least, what little of capitalism we have. Mostly we have cronyism, thanks to socialists who don't understand why government and private industry should be as separate as church and…

It’s been trendy for awhile. Anyone who makes anything they want to sell or trade is automatically a sadistic monster who eats fetus flakes for breakfast. You didn't know that?

Ummm... They've literally spent billions in the last couple of years acquiring studios building exclusives. They showed off a bunch of them today.

And it's beautiful because of that. 

There are no perfect systems of any kind, anywhere.

*ban, not have. Stupid autocorrect.

Dude, a LOT of people, all across the political divide, have become puritanical brutes the last few years. It's absurd.

I think Twitch just wants to be a place where people stream things, people watch things, and they get a cut of the proceeds. 

“Didn’t have to compete”—and there’s a piece of the puzzle. The people calling for bans on hot tub streamers (or any streamers, really) are anti-capitalism and anti-liberty. Full stop.

And if viewers tune in for it, why not? Let the audience choose what they want to support.

EXACTLY.

See, this is why people need to embrace the idea of liberty for all. Don’t work about “the platform”. That’s not your job. Your job as a streamer is simple: delivering engaging content that viewers want to tune in for. Stop trying to police others. You don’t have to like what they do, just like they don’t have to like…

Cultures never fully break out of traditions. But the bright side is that cultures and traditions do evolve, generally (though not always) toward a better dynamic.

Capitalism isn’t the problem. We don’t even *have* capitalism. What we have is cronyism, or if you prefer, corporatism. They are not the same thing.

That’s true, but it’s also only a surface level analysis. The deeper issue is that people see something they don’t like or disagree with, and actively work to have that thing banned/outlawed/criminalized. It’s a theme that’s constant across borders, genders, and political or philosophical associations. People from all…

Not dropped, for sure. But largely mediocre, with most of its uses feeling tacked on. I've never found the touchpad on my ps4 controller to be fun or compelling in use, and when games allow it, I turn it off.

I'd say the cell processor was a D- for effort. Overly complicated, overly expensive, and paired with a paltry 256MB RAM with another, separate 256 for the gpu, it was largely a development disaster. 

The fact that you can be playing a game in full hd on your tv, with detached controllers, then pop them onto the unit, pull it out of the dock and take that same game with you without missing a beat IS the innovation. It is well implemented and, as the saying goes, “it just works”.

The only innovative feature of PS5 is the dual sense capabilities. That’s *it*. Otherwise, PS5 is only a faster, uglier PS4.
