It's a new country, not a new planet. Families can live across borders

I have a lot of respect for the Devs, as shining example of "how to recover from a mistake and make it up to your players"

Many other dev teams would have probably taken their payday and disappeared into the wind after that launch.

No, it isn't. Exactly this mindset is why we call it "power-tripping" because you think the powers given to you to enforce rules are "fair fucking game" to use as a tool to inflict negativity.

Respond with negativity if you wish, but leave your mod powers out of it. Invoking mod powers to punish someone who hasn't broken the rules is definitionally abuse of power.

What you don't seem to understand is that responding to negativity with negativity is not what makes this PTB. That's a fairly normal response. What makes this PTB is deciding to use your mod powers as a means to inflict negativity on people, inflicting punishment on people not because of the rules, but because you feel like it. You explicitly admitted to doing this: "Now I'm removing it just to spite you".

Nah, curl your tongue into a tube and stick it in the drink to use as a straw

I've heard you aren't actually supposed to, that it can be bad for your ears

I'm fairly sure the Bible actually does allude to Adam and Eve having heaps of other children, they just aren't named.

Don't be silly, you'll obviously have your hands full defending your spleen from chipmunks, no time to dial 911

Either watch the movie OR read the book. Never both. Both just leads to disappointment at the cost of your time.

That's usually when I do my crying anyway

We better destroy it just to be safe

Obviously tax law would have to be more nuanced, if you only own a single house then you can't be expected to sell it just to pay the tax on it, but the tax could accumulate for when/if you do sell it. But someone who owns hundreds of properties which increase in value, could be expected to sell some to pay the tax. The point is to affect people who hide their actual income from taxes like this, just like Bezos does.

Because it is also a messed up way to tax people, to only require people who can't afford these tax evasion strategies to pay income tax.
