Not only that, they increase demand for the product, driving up the price

I think they meant that presidents should be forgettable and avoid damaging stuff

He's actually trying to build a narrative of distrust around tech companies and trying to reinforce that his information bubble is legitimate despite what it looks like. His supporters will eat it up and be manipulated into thinking certain ways without really knowing it.

Do you prefer voting for somebody that promises to do what a large diverse group of people want or voting on issues directly?

It'll be okay to vote third party (in a social sense since it's already allowed legally) when we change the election systems that we use so that third party votes are not spoiler votes. Let's abandon First Past the Post and use something like Ranked Choice Voting or better.

I am happy with nerfs to avoid power creep as long as things are generally getting buffs.

I don't want to get into a situation where everything needs to keep getting blanket buffed for balance because they find imbalances and going up is the only option.

Fun is also what fuels exploration and learning. I think the overall point here is that there are people who have fun with different experiences that may be at odds with each other. Some people like struggling with something until they achieve success, and others just want to relax and have a good time.

Personally, I've had my fun with hard games in the past, but I'm turned off from the idea of getting stuck behind a skill barrier because I'm older now and have less time to spend on games.

I blame First Past the Post voting. In that system, the two parties have to become big tent parties and cater to the "average" voter that they want to capture.

What is your opinion of the idea that this position may make you indistinguishable from a Trump supporter?
