But you are blaming someone. "Don't leave things on your property where they can be stolen" is the equivalent of "don't dress sexy if you don't want to be raped". The onus is on the law breaker to curb their urges, not on the law abiding citizen to take extra steps to defend against crimes that shouldn't happen regardless the temptation.

...Peterson especially has a whole new audience. Religion is kind of on the decline in America but folks still want a sense of belonging and spirituality. Peterson's philosophy is designed to give you that without straying too far into actual Christianity. He's sort of like an agnostic televangelist in that regard.

I like some of Peterson's thoughts on free speech, as it relates to exposing bad logic to criticism. When he talks about purpose and self worth however he references biblical material way too often for me to consider him agnostic.

Sony did not develop No Man's Sky. It's also fairly accurate to say that if someone invests 50 hours into a game and then wants a refund...calling them a thief isn't too far off base. That's the same for any retail business out there. If you bought a game and want a refund after an hour or two of trying to get things to work right, that's perfectly fine. 50 hours? No way.

If a game promises certain amazing features, but it takes 50 hours of (leveling up) game play to identify that those features don't exist, is it still stealing when you demand a refund? It's like buying a box of cereal just for the prize advertised prominently on the front of the box, and in commercials. If you get to the bottom of the cereal box and the prize isn't there, do you have a right to a refund? Damn straight.

Yes, it's easy to find fairly current websites that will recommend a complete build. It's also quite easy to find a list of compatible hardware, recommended power supply wattage, and due to a highly competitive market the price of a fairly decent gaming machine will be between 1&1.2k all in, including O/S. Speaking of O/S, go ahead and speak ill of Microsoft all you want, a fresh install on new, or even old, hardware will likely begin with at least a working driver for each component, though it may not be optimized. Motherboards come with a disc containing drivers that fill in those that are missing, and you'll also likely start with a network connection so that you can download the best drivers available. Best of all, you don't end up with the shit bloatware that companies like HP dump on your stock purchase PC.

Who has more incentive to create a clean source of power than the Chinese? Massive pollution, reliance on coal fired power plants, and no scruples when it comes to stealing technology to get on par with other nations. Combine all this with a government that can dictate where the most brilliant minds focus their talents and unlimited funding and you'll see major advancements. I can't stand our Canadian Prime Minister, but one thing he said that was taken out of context was how he admired the Chinese government. This advancement is what he was talking about, not their human rights record.

How deluded you are. Use your imagination and start thinking about how everything would be handled by the private sector, that would of course have your best interests at heart, especially when the whole concept of regulations and enforcement would need to be tossed. Are you going to bully your way to a great lifestyle? Think again, there's always someone bigger, badder or smarter... and I think you're especially SOL on that last one.
