How many ways can we rewrite the allegory of the cave?

It is important to note that while a FICO score is roughly equivalent to "trustworthiness", the three credit agency scores (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian) are NOT meant to reflect your trustworthiness directly. Rather, they are specifically designed to inform lenders of your profitability for them.

It's an important distinction because having a an outstanding payment history alone won't improve these scores, if you aren't utilizing available credit and maintaining some running balance with lenders.

Basically, if you're just going to borrow money and never pay any interest on the loans, you aren't actually a source of profit and therefore aren't a desirable customer for lenders and creditors

Don't forget there was also a bunch of government-backed troll farms shut down recently

Because there is value in a large group speaking with a unified voice to say "this is wrong, and you need to know that the rest of us think it's wrong. Your behavior will affect the relationship you have with us all going forward". Direct intervention isn't the only form of consequence.

Is it the best solution to the problem? No. Is it still worth doing? Yes.

Just a heads up, people should be wary of playtron to a degree: the CEO is a guy named Kirt McMaster. Anyone from the Android enthusiast community may know him as the guy who convinced the creator of CyanogenMod to incorporate (becoming Cyngn) and then drove the company into the ground chasing skinning and theming revenue, and wouldn't even allow the community to keep the cyanogen brand (they had to rebrand it to LineageOS)

Kirt sucks. He's a terrible leader and a terrible businessperson. I'm sure there are plenty of great people involved in playtron but with him at the helm of the company I am not expecting it to end well

Portion control. Don't assume you can handle a full joint after a t-break. When I'm smoking infrequently a joint can last me 6+ sessions and I'll be perfectly happy.

You're saying that the numbers displayed are indicating the % of polls that favor each candidate in that state, not the probability the candidate will win each state overall?

It's literally a multiplayer competitive shooter. That's the game.

You're correct on all fronts, but I guess what I would point out is that those design elements were a staple of the FF franchise long before 7. It was another turn based strategy role playing game in a series of turn based strategy role playing games. With OOT you had a real time action adventure franchise with a game using design elements you'd expect from....well, from a turn based strategy role playing game xD

That's where I have issues with OOT in hindsight. It stumbled in executing on its own self-image, whereas FF7 did a better of job of understanding itself
