Sort of a yogi berra industry these days. "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded"
My GOG collection of games from 25 years ago is as big as my steam collection of new games.

I know that Manitoba and Quebec are both basically entirely hydroelectric, and the resulting electrical power is some of the least expensive in the world. You can heat your home with electricity in Manitoba or Quebec and it isn't a big deal, you can't do the same in Ontario which is mostly nuclear.
It's a bit of a paradox, that just because something is logical doesn't mean it's true, and just because something is illogical doesn't mean that it's untrue.
For things which can be objectively known, the real world is the ultimate arbiter of Truth. Often, the real world can even surprise subject matter experts, because you never know what can be going on.

In 419 scams, the writing is intentionally poor so that people who are smart enough to see through the scam don't bother replying.
What's her excuse?

I always come back to hydroelectric in this regard. We have dams that have existed since the beginning of industrialized electricity, we have used water wheels for millennia. It's a known, proven answer.
Those dams have provided virtually unlimited energy compared to the upfront energy costs, and they produce more than enough energy to recreate themselves.
But it isn't pretty, and it's entirely too practical. It's effective and boring. It doesn't let you rewrite society from the ground up. So they hate it.

A whole lot of very powerful people want you to think that career is all it takes to live a feeling life, but eventually you're making enough money to get anything that you want and if you don't have something that helps connect you to something greater there kind of stops being a point to it all.
Thankfully I was young enough when I realized this to change the course of my life. Because I was on track for this, being surrounded by things that were really cool and expensive when I was young, but are just a burden on someone else to get rid of the moment that I die.

It seems to me that The core theme of the work is the overwhelming forces trying to manipulate individuals into doing what is best for greater powers that be often to the harm of the individual and society. I don't see how else you end up getting the mega storylines, the vaccine story lines, The riot story lines, there's an awful lot of stuff there that isn't explainable through any other lens.
Tatsuyo Ishida is I believe on spinster. I read the last couple years of backlog on sinfest when I found their account on fediverse and it's been pretty interesting. Not where you'd expect the comic to go based on where it was 10 years ago.
"Nailpolish Remover is really good ABS plastic glue" is a great piece of information, and it's come up several times this week for me. We have a lot of plastic crap we'd like to keep in one piece, and with this piece of information we can do it.
One commentator I generally trust pointed this out a few weeks ago: China didn't do anything after Mao's great leap backwards that killed tens of millions of people. Why exactly would they be collapsing because the fastest growing economy didn't grow for one year?
Money is a hygiene factor. It won't make you happy, but a lack of it will make you unhappy.
That being said, if you want to experience deep existential dread, try to scientifically determine how to live. Math and science can describe and predict how things are, not how things ought to be. That's a basic truth of philosophy.
