Incorrect, a healthcare system does not require for-profit insurance companies to serve the health needs of it's members.

I assume you made your comment out of ignorance and not as an attempt to spread misinformation. Check out the single payer model as an example of a full healthcare system that does not utilize for-profit insurance.

Sounds more like a Capcom problem than a Valve problem. Don't build mobile optimization into your games, don't make mobile sales.

Stumbled on the last part by implying that there are different "types" of capitalism and that one of these mythical types, corporatism, just needs to be "reigned in".

There is only one kind of capitalism. And there is no "reigning it in". Capitalism isn't a fucking broken in pony that you ride into the sunset. We either wipe it out completely, or over time it wipes all of us out.

I missed that phase because I was using Netscape.

I own a lifted hatchback with gravel tires that I occasionally take down timber trails to camp or shoot. That's maybe why I understood what you meant. But the way it came across, it just sounded like you need to go hiking more :P

MOST humans are not gonna ever be vegan/vegetarian unless forced.

Maybe. What about you, though?

Also this is a healthy maintence regime. In my experience most cyclists do nothing on that list except swapping flat tubes and their bikes still ride just fine, if not merely sub-optimally.

Like a mechanical version of hiking

I can't wait to describe driving this way to a friend so that we can both share in the laughter I'm enjoying right now.

My brother in christ, the reason we got this spread out in the first place was a robust national network of passenger rail lines.

Vegan here. Sticking to the two questions you asked before you got lost in scope creep and logical fallacy: I get my food from the supermarket, mostly. And it scales way better than animal ag because farming plants requires radically less resources per calorie than farming animals.

Just like most other positive decisions in the world, it's not revolutionary on it's own. Nor is it aiming to be, nor does it need to be.
