  1. I could just say "it's tricky" when the state comes to tax my business to hell and beyond. I pay 51% tax in total on my business entity here in Norway. If I try to fight this unjust practice against SMEs here in Norway they'll just ignore me.

    I care deeply about this because it's about someone wealthy from some social "platform"'s VC and stock-inflation value that decided to force natives out of their lands just because he has the money to do it. It proves he really hate everyone that isn't him, and uses everyone for his own personal gain.

  6. So overpopulation is not an issue? on Cheetahs Heading Towards Extinction as Population Crashes (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    The main reason animals get extinct is human presence. We are a bigger threat to wildlife than even nuclear fallout.

  7. Bulletsponges and rubberbanding are killing a lot of singleplayer games. I really hate it when I have to shoot someone fifteen times in their head with a shotgun to kill them while they only have to see my toe to have me down to 50% health. Then when I race around and push another car off the track seeing it crash and turn around in the mirror, the next round it's right behind me like nothing happened, or even worse, when I crash into it to send it off the track, it's like a tank and I get sent flying. Too many games like that now. It's horrible.

    At the same time AAA-games are becoming more like movies with less interaction and more passive watching of cutscenes, and this will continue until there is no distinguishing element between film and game left.

    I don't believe their revenue stream or anything they boast about. I can't trust a company that isn't transparent. If they have something to hide then they are not on the right side of the law.

    So questioning this instantly makes you a neo-nazi? History is always held up to evidence, no matter what have happened in the past. Sometimes history has to be rewritten because new facts have been discovered. Especially ancient history, but also modern history where forgeries are increasingly becoming more common.

  14. I know that 400 units is not a lot, but you don't have to state it twice, and if you do, keep a space after the comma.

  16. Ham-handed love sequences ruined it on Thor: The Dark World — What Did You Think? · · Score: 3, Informative

    If it did not have the love sequences between Portman and Hemsworth it would have been *cough* worth it.

    Leave it to Hollywood to make dialogue awkward and cringe-worthy. It got good once the action started rolling, but there really was no chemistry between the two lovers, and Kat Dennings' character felt so forced I felt uncomfortable in the chair.

    Special mention to Skarsgård for doing perhaps the best scene in the movie in which he uses shoes to explain the coming convergence. It looks like he had a lot of fun doing that and he seemed quite relaxed and confident in his role, unlike Portman who seemed off the whole time.

    I really like reading about these people who can just waltz into a company and run it into the ground and then jump on to the next venture as if nothing ever happened.

    It's always a good thing by the governments to play the left against the right because in reality it has become more of a divide and conquer strategy to make people fight each other instead of fighting the government. Just look at what public officials can get away with these days.

    You make an excellent point. After moving back to Norway from London I found the skies are a lot clearer there in general and that made me more interested in what is happening outside the limits of our stratosphere. Sadly not many people get to see the starry sky in all its glory due to pollution, and I guess that is a thing that doesn't help your thoughts and mind.

  24. Popularity of space stuff based on replies on Saturn In All Its Glory · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It seems that the trend her on /. is to reply less to space-related posts, and rather indulge in trivial online debates over something that happened on Facebook and whether or not choice is a good thing for Android.

    This disheartens me. I have logged in again after a long period of inactivity to state my interest in space-related posts here and I would like to see more of that and less of trivial drama that may or may not be related to stuff that matters.

    I am prepared to be downmodded for this but I am a willing martyr to get the point across.
