I'm not talking about computer games or board games; life, jobs, interpersonal realtionships can all be modelled as games. > Because that also has negative consequences Well that's just your perspective, maybe someone might bel

Probably because it is much safer, faster to develop and easier to maintain.

Telling people they shouldn't do obvious bad thing is pointless because those with good ethics wouldn't have done it regardless and the others won't care about your comments. Your consequentialist view is valid but you can

And Marx merely philosophised on the merits of communism, an idea which resulted in the death of hundreds of millions of people. Money wasn't exactly lost, it wasn't dumped in a garbaged bin and literally set on fire, people were

Other people with useful projects probably didn't have access to the people OP used. You are implying that OP manipulated people to give him money while knowing that he had a bad idea, if this were true why would he want to give money

If they don't care about their own health and longevity I would argue their lives shouldn't be extended against their own will. Should we also give free houses and luxury cars to people who refuse to work?

The Thinkpad t4xx line are one of the most durable and ergonomic laptops out there. They won't work for graphics worloads but for programming they're exquisite. I can find a t470 "used" model for only 800$, retail price

Did you try it on an actual thinkpad? I have a dell with a trackpoint and it's nowhere near as accurate. The appeal is that your fingers don't ever need to leave the homerow and also working from your lap on a bus for example is m

Oh but wow would've probably demanded 3x more time which would've not been spent in the same fun way. Grinding daily quests is a distraction it is not fun. Want to play PvP? Oh you have to grind battlegrounds 20 hours per week
