@mrsaturday @ArdainianRight @Suiseiseki This is unfortunately very popular even in ancap spaces, with some mainstream ancaps basically saying "the billionaire elites pay more taxes than everyone else so they should get sole ownership over all public property and assets", completely ignoring that those billionaires literally only have any of the wealth and power they do through abusing the government to both empower themselves and prevent any competitors from challenging their monopolies. For every cent they pay in taxes, they get hundreds of dollars of protection from the government, stolen from all of the average joes who could even theoretically compete with them in an actual free market.

@ArdainianRight @Suiseiseki Kinsella honestly managed to convince me that in extremely limited scenarios - basically only trademarks - "IP" can actually be okay. I love his stance that even in those few scenarios, it's ultimately a consumer-vs-trademark-abuser dispute which the trademark holder has effectively no stake in, since the only person actually being harmed is the consumer who accidentally paid for a mislabeled product, not the trademark holder who allegedly "lost" a sale they likely wouldn't have gotten to begin with.

Zelda lore 

Now I just realize that the time travel laws in ToTK are inconsistent with OOT. OOT established that altering the past will create a separate timeline, but Zelda time traveling in ToTK alters the current timeline.

There are some pretty cool boats and homes on the water, but they are just too expensive for everyone to be able to experience living on the water. Our goal is to bring everyone to lakes, rivers, bays, and oceans, in an affordable and environmentally friendly way.

You can always find an event where seasteaders are talking to each other and learning about technology to make living on the ocean a real possibility. Check out upcoming events here: buff.ly/43L6IhG

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town >What's stopping the governance of these floating islands from corrupting like on land?

Seasteads are like trailer parks where you can physically move your home to a different dock. They make moving much easier.

>What's stopping states that form on the oceans from invading other states and forming empires?

I honestly, don't have an answer to that question.

What gun are you buying your dad for Father's Day?

@beardalaxy Out of curiosity, has PSO2 payed any tribute to Rieko Kodama, one of the creators of the original Phantasy Star series? She passed away on October of last year.
