No. But you may bow to me anyway, my virgin subject. You are obviously looking for a leader.

Gotchya. And yeah there's more of everything now compared to 9 years ago.

re: political stuff, need a better area to discuss that stuff instead of a profile page. :) re: gaming stuff, I agree with you, especially now in today's gaming environment. not sure if it was as prevalent 9 years ago though, was it? Could have been.

As for the context in pc gaming: Let's take the game Dead By Daylight (which I've played far too much), when Epic games offered the game for free on their store. Undoubtedly most of the money the game makes is through DLC and cosmetics in their shop. So they were happy to give the base game away for free in hopes that the profits will be made from new players who might not have given the game a chance ordinarily (even on a Steam sale for $5). I think the main reason they don't offer it as free-to-play is the cheaters, which are still too common, but not nearly as bad as GTA5.

I must admit I haven't paid close attention to the issues that people bring up these days, so if I say something that seems ill-informed, please correct me. Let's take your first example with trans activists: I don't see them as part of the left or far left. They seem more similar to white nationalists as they want to change the culture, not simply be recognized with equal rights like the civil rights and women's suffrage movements were both about. Also, I have never met a trans activist before, so I am skeptical they even exist in significant numbers, considering I've met people of pretty much every other activist variety.

I had to look up the unrealized tax gains as I haven't heard of it before... but it doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't the government simply tax the wealthy more instead of adding new types of taxes? Or they could do what they've been doing and inflate the currency...
