That... is a very...VERY BAD IDEA.
Billionaires have enough money to survive an economic crash without batting an eyelid. Do you?
True. Social shaming is a very effective tool against this stuff. I draw a hard line at laws that stop it, but I see your point.
There should never be legal consequences for it. I am absolutely for everyone and anyone to be able to say as much racist, sexist, homophobic or what-have-you crap as they want. BUT I agree that the social consequences should be allowed to thrive. Act like a jerk; people are jerks right back. Act like an absolute piece of shit; guess how people treat you? I think that all this sabre rattling about censoring hate speech is just driving the attention-whores into the public forum, not because they actually hate the people they say they do, but because they're attention whores.
And what is hate speech? When we start telling people what is and is not allowable to say, we set a highly dangerous precedent and move the game from black and white lines into shades of gray. Another shade darker is far easier to slip into than black from white.
Intolerance must be put down, with force. It is not hypocritical. It is not paradoxical.
The human capacity for cognitive dissonance will never cease to amaze me.
A democracy can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
If people vote for their own chains in a free and democratic society, they deserve to get what they want. Now whether we still have such a society is debatable. But I still fundamentally believe that any and all forms of censorship are the wrong way to go and will only accelerate the decline into totalitarianism.
So, how about we agree to disagree, mate? ; )
Maybe, but most prediction based jobs have a middling success rate.Missing this big is always significant, but not catastrophic in this case.
I've grown so used to the companions falling in love with within a week in every RPG that I don't even notice anymore. Personally, I legitimately like Shadowheart. I've tried the Karlach romance, and she wasn't doing it for me. Dunno why. Lae'zel has more going on than I gave her credit for at the start, but Shart is still my girl.
Strange. Works fine on PC. Sorry, man.
