@Aganim The original Deus Ex also. Its story was brilliant and prophetic in a lot of ways.
As an example of a game, that actually got its second chance: the original Half-Life. Black Mesa is brilliant. I wish, other old games like Unreal and Deus Ex would have got a remake like that.
@flubba86 Yeah, it's actually fucking easier to come in and fix their printer or whatever.
@Daft_ish It's not about you personally. It's never been about you.
It's about the demographic you belong to, and they can advertise to and predict/manipulate opinion of.
@Daft_ish Facebook's making money selling *you* on Facebook. You are the raw material.
@Daft_ish If they are the ones who supplied your browser, they don't have to pay shit.
@Daft_ish Why go through the trouble of asking you when they can ask your browser who will tell them everything instantly and also knows you better than you ever will?
@June Happy to help.
@Violett_Queen I don't think it's already the case and we already generally do just do whatever we want, but are afraid to admit it to ourselves.
Also, are you talking about *gamy or *amory?
There's distinction.
Polygamy is about just sex pretty much. Polyamory is about romantic relationships.
If the former, then, a lot of married people have sex outside marriage. It's debatable how honest this is, most of it just cheating - but that already counts as polygamy.
If the latter... Unfortunately, we're ways off universally recognizing this type of relationship. For shame.
There's also the factor of polyamorous relationships being harder to maintain, requiring a lot more work to do properly. Despite what conservatives might say, this type of relationship demands MORE responsibility from all involved, not less. So, it's not everyone's cup of tea, and probably monoamory will be the default in most of the cases. But if you are willing and able pull it off, there's nothing quite like it.
@Crabhands Exactly. And that's most of them.
@wildcardology argues that "all the definitions are in the dictionary".
True. But then it comes down to "who writes the dictionary", so it's just kicking the can down the road.
@Sprite @pinkdrunkenelephants Whoa, what an overbearing fuck.

> I still believe there’s more to us than just atoms.
Atoms are just atoms. The way they're ordered, is what makes all the difference. Information - that's what you're talking about.
@ZenFriedRice Yes! Everything is kind of a lie, and everyone is kind of a fake. You too. Me, as well.
This is really liberating, and I find it kinda amazing and beautiful even that it all still works.
