Whilst I agree in principle (since hereditary monarchies are inherently anti-meritocratic), there is actually a strong argument for constitutional and apolitical figurehead monarchs (i.e mostly powerless). They serve as something of an antidote to cults of personality and can also act as a uniting force in times of crisis.

Ah my bad @Yots92@lemmy.world please tag your post appropriately!

As I scroll lemmy at work sometimes - and this (quite literally) is not safe for work, please tag it.

Rule 1: be decent

Rule 2: follow rule 1

Except in 2 of the 4 graphs, young men are still more liberal-leaning and in Germany it’s only barely conservative leaning. What they all have in common however is young women becoming extremely liberal-leaning. The headline in other words is misleading.

A lot of the benefits people associate with capitalism require a free market. The US problem is that the megacorps have gotten sufficiently powerful to abolish that free market through regularory (and legal) capture, enabling entrenched monopolies.

I mean, $2k is about okay for a month of labour in much of the world

As did I :) The few times I boot up MC it’s the same old modpacks on the same old versions.

I use the technic launcher still - works fine.

Even in the screwed up US system there’s something wrong if you’re struggling to break even with a 200k income. That’s a household income in the 84th percentile for the US, or the top 2% globally (adjusting for PPP).

If you’re living paycheck to paycheck on a $200k household income, it sounds like you might want to rethink your budget.

I’ve updated the post title to match the new headline. Thanks for mentioning it :)

If you’re just looking for critiques there’s plenty of other spaces to post your product. 100USD for the outreach & services steam provide a developer is actually quite cheap in western countries. I could see it being more difficult in parts of the world with lower purchasing power though unless they have some regional pricing scheme.
