JRPGs are like movies that you can interact with. If you don't enjoy the cutscenes then it will be a drag. I did play FFVII when it came out and I was extremely impressed and couldn't get enough of it. But I could never get into o

Parenthood being the most intense happiness possible is not my subjective experience. It is probably the most obvious fact in the world, literally if it wasn't true human societies would be radically different.

Not really; midlife crisis is a misnomer because it can start at 50-60 years old.

Maybe they are unhappy but on the flip side, most people with children will tell you that if you haven't been a parent you don't know what happiness is. The happiness of being a parent is just unimaginable, cannot compare with any

> For example, in the US the plumber pays for health care. In Europe he mostly does not. More like in the US he pays for private health insurance (and/or he is covered by Medicare/Medicaid). In Europe he pays for public health

Insects do not have the same level of sentience as birds and mammals. However, do keep in mind that a large proportion of agricultural output is used to feed animals.

That's factually incorrect. You don't have to kill a plant to get the fruit and/or the seeds it produces.

Ease cannot be used to ethically justify an action. But even so, you ignore that, according to research, people who eat meat have worse health than people who don't.

Well I can crash my bicycle going downhill and neglecting to use the brakes, this doesn't mean it wasn't intelligently designed. Design is all about tradeoffs.

How do you know that they make a consistent profit? You take their word for it? Gamblers are notorious liars and are also known to keep very poor record of their bets.

> There is also the fantasy of being able to win money but the reality that if you actually win money in a consistent fashion, you will be either kicked-off or your action will be severely crippled. This does not apply to all bookmakers.

I know I will burn karma for this but what the heck: If you don't like it, don't buy it. That their sugar-added products are not sold in Switzerland or Germany is simply because people there would not buy them enough to make profi
