Modern Monitory Theory is the idea that if you have sovereign control of your money, you can just print more. This theory is insane. More USD was issued (in the form of real currency, not loan backed reserves) between now and 2020 than in all of America's history. It's insane and a massive devaluation of everyone's money. It's the reason that the floor of a single family home grew from $250k to over $300k in most areas.
Governments have been uncontrollably adding to their money supplies for the past few years, but not adding actual value. Everyone suddenly decided "Hey, Japans insane GDP to debt ration is a great idea!" .. it's a death spiral ... possibly even an intentional one. A planed demolition.
@lanodan @icedquinn @a1ba Genesis/Mega-Drive programming might be easier because I know for a fact that it is possible to write games for it in C (judging from an unofficial CaveStory port). I don't know if there are any C compilers that support the SNES's architecture.
There isn't a single founder who ever said that the way to respond to massive, ongoing, long-standing violations of the constitution - was to wait to get more good people in congress to turn it around.
Not one. Ever.
Instead, the people of the several states need to refuse to comply, resist and nullify - that's THE RIGHTFUL REMEDY - to usurpations of power by the federal government.
Anything less than that? will be temporary, at best.
@lanodan @icedquinn @a1ba Pygame has a built-in sprite module which makes managing game objects much easier. It's my go to recommendation for a beginner who wants to get into game programming, but doesn't want to use a full-blown engine. Speed might be an issue, but it's decent for SNES/GBA-styled games.
@Alex It's not really consumerism as it's not tied to any particular brand, and you can make pizza yourself, including professional quality pizza if you have the right equipment and skills.
@Alex I'm talking about those who make it part of their identity, wear pizza t-shirts, have pizza bumper stickers on their cars, etc.

I also hope Linux distros finally start dropping Firebox and Thunderbird as their default browsers and mail clients respectively. Red Hat and Canonical are probably going to continue bundling Mozilla products for years to come, but everyone else has zero excuse to continue including Firefox.
