That’s like saying I don’t see why anyone would spend cash when they could buy index funds instead (if you believe index funds will only go up).

Wasting years of your life locked up is already disincentive enough. Exploitive forced/hard/hazardous labor isn’t necessary.

Same with being unable to afford common necessities, or being raped in prison.

These just make the experience for prisoners inhumane and miserable.

So if you eat less, your body eventually adjusts so that you're satiated earlier. People say that your "stomach shrinks" when you eat less, but it's really just your appetite that does.

When you eat a meal you should also try eating slower, or having more frequent but smaller portions. Have you ever noticed that you're still hungry after a meal, but after a few minutes it goes away? That's because it takes ~20 minutes for you to feel full after eating.

There's also appetite suppressants (both naturally found in certain foods + prescription drugs), that can work wonders for weight loss.

Also, if you ever try fasting, usually your appetite is strongest for the first 2 days, then falls off. With natural fat stores + an intake of water/electrolytes/potassium/magnesium, you can fast for many days at a time without feeling hungry.

Getting to level 99 or playing hardcore mode isn’t the objective for 99+% of players.

Diablo 2 is a fairly forgiving and moderately casual game imo. Most builds require only one skill for damage, and respeccing and how easy it is to get a character rushed means it’s easy to experiment or fix builds.

Which is why I mentioned those three in particular, pretty easy to get everyone to use one.

WhatsApp, Messenger, or even Instagram are all potential alternatives. All from the Facebook family.

The recently popular Lost Ark is another video game by Korea.

I'm surprised you've never heard of the kpop groups BTS or Blackpink in Germany.

Nope, don't think any commercial version has that rule. Seems like a house rule or a misunderstanding of the official ruleset.

Yes. Bitcoin can be validated with with regular hardware, thus full nodes are cheap and ubiquitous and results in a system that's highly decentralized. Even if a 51% were to hypothetically happen with miners, the full nodes will stop it.

Ethereum and many others with massive blocks cannot be validated with regular hardware as there's too much computational power/storage involved. The majority of Ethereum nodes are by 3rd party services which use cloud services such as AWS. Additionally, essential services such as Infura which the majority of apps rely on are basically entirely centralized.

If every country refused to trade with Russia, would it become one of the poorest countries in the world?

If the lightning network isn’t possible, why is it up and running with thousands of people using it?

>“if someone offer/ you a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask which seat”

That analogy only makes sense if he offered you equity, haha.

It's not like people don't know, it's more like there's not much we can do about it (other than voting).

It's up to governments to come up with and enforce laws that prevent corporations from releasing millions of metric tons of greenhouse gasses. Without strict laws in place, there's too little incentive from being moral or being long-term oriented, also your competition who don't will run you out of business with the extra profits.

There's also very few consumers willing to investigate/research the pollution generated from all companies related to making/delivering the products they buy. So being "greener" isn't really much of an advantage.

Would it? We could have hundreds of runaway-meltdown proof nuclear fission reactors now if we wanted.
