But implicit in the description is an argument between gamers if they like not knowing "the one true path" through the level (all locked doors look and act alike, but some have keys and some don't, which leads to many wasted hours trying to open doors), while other gamers enjoy seeing a door with a red light in the distance and instantly knowing it will never open; it's just decoration. As a designer, you have to know what your demographic wants. Puzzle solvers and first person shooter fans have vastly different desires, and that's just with visible doors. Wait until you get to secret doors, flower pots, and cooking utensils, etc.
But there might be red herring doors which behave like all other locked doors, but which have no key available in the game or are (visibly?) blocked from behind or chained together. These doors will never open, and threads on Internet forums will be created about them detailing ways people will have tried to get through them. I appreciate painted-on 2d doors that let me know it's not a real door so I shouldn't even bother. I appreciate a complete world where every door can be unlocked or destroyed with powder kegs, but whole-world design is a lot tougher than level design. Even Origin had issues creating worlds after their buyout.
It takes more than 4 days for someone to be willing to resort to cannibalism. Canned food, frozen food, etc will be plentiful enough. And plenty of Americans have enough fat stores that they could subsist on water for a while. Priority #1 when a big disaster strikes: immediately fill every bathtub, sink, and then containers with cold water. Shut off intake into your water heater. Do this before water pressure drops and/or the water gets poopy. Don't use the toilets for elimination of body waste. Do your business in a trench in the back yard if possible. Use the toilet tank water, and the toilet bowl water only if you can boil it. Set up large containers to collect rainwater (if you're in the western states, ignore the water collection laws).
Come to think of it, have we made any really startling breakthrus since the internal combustion engine and computer itself?
Nuclear is a fairly startling breaktrough, although it uses steam for power generation. And solar. Get fusion working, and it will be a big change (but again, it will use steam).
Yes it does. Otherwise it's "freedom of talking". Freedom of speech means that no government entity can go after you for the content of your communications, whether broadcast or otherwise. Where exactly that crosses with Secret classifications, I don't know, but freedom of speech necessarily implies freedom from persecution (from government) for speech.
Fast forward to today and a part of me believes that if an educator is actually teaching words and meanings to students that their should be actually definitive meanings for terms when given the chance. We know that written language is derived from verbal communication which is why we used phonetics in the first place. So, for example, if a teacher was teaching the world "there" without a definitive meaning, then students would always have to rely on context clues to figure out if the communicator is saying the equivalent to "there, their, or they're". Which can become even more confusing if there are other words that are also homophones in the same sentence.
Is this irony or coincidence? I was never taught the difference.
Torez and Kim trade holodeck time. I don't have the DVDs available, but it's stuff that's casually mentioned in downtime while they're doing engineering type tasks. It's not anything that is plot critical, so it rarely shows up in synopses (which I'm guessing is the only way you've "watched" Voyager if you aren't aware of the the fact that there are two crews on a starship with only two holodecks (unless you count sickbay, which I don't).

Voyager the show does treat Holodeck use as a scarce resource. Likewise the replicators. Transporter credits for use on Earth are explicitly mentioned in DS9. The Federation per the shows might have eliminated hunger, but not want.
The holodeck is a scarce resource. They're new on Galaxy class starships, and there isn't one for every person. They can't all use it at the same time. I will concede that I might have conflated bits of voyager with Barclay episodes since they absolutely do trade holodeck time as currency in that show.
I believe it's mentioned in an episode that he trades favors with other crewmembers for their holodeck time. Holodecks are scarce, and time on the holodecks is rationed just like replicator and transporter usage.
And that's why they have replicator and transporter credits on Earth. It's not post-scarcity. It's not even post money because they could trade their credits for services from others. But the Federation citizens were told the lie enough that they believe it.
Since the author was apparently born yesterday, I would like to explain a simple concept. When politicians want naive citizens to believe they're doing something when, in fact, they are not doing it and do not want to do it, they will make a big show about doing it in a very roundabout and ineffective way. This has been going on for, oh, all of recorded history.
"Oh that Pharaoh, he should build his own tomb and lie down in it."
"Great idea. I'll get right on that. We'll need some limestone..."
Three cheers for DRM! This is why I only play older games. I know that I will always be able to play them in the future (as long as dosbox and wine still work).
For me, it would take the "cornerstone of the internet" itself being wrong, not its CEO or other individual members of the corporation. I'll bet there are some managers at Mozilla who are racist, maybe a janitor who has been convicted of assault and battery of a homosexual, and an HR rep who is Hitler reborn (that one is most likely), but I didn't hear any hew and cry over them. And they're more likely to put their personal beliefs into action than a CEO is.
What if he had said, "blacks don't deserve the right to vote"?
I would have said "Mr. X is wrong in his view, but his company makes a mighty fine browser."
Now if Mozilla had started using HP webcams for facial recognition to determine who can and can't use Firefox, then I'd change my tune about whether the company's product should be boycotted.

Yeah, but we never heard of him because his ak from the pilot episode was 3d printed and it blew up on him.

To be fair, cheaply made CRT TVs used to last more than a decade.

No need to threaten when you can just taze people and body-check a woman who has a camera. The threats just get in the way.
