Yep, which is a reason why 'patriarchy' is often a poor term for systems of power. The elites are elevated because they are wealthy, to a far greater extent than being elevated because they are male. Telling working class and impoverished men that the system is designed to benefit them is only going to push them towards right-wing populists like Trump who are selling fake solutions to their problems.

If you've not heard of these people, it's likely a cultural difference. They're definitely all well known people. Dua Lipa is one of the most popular pop stars in the UK and USA (and presumably worldwide) , Gary Lineker is a former football player, turned sports commentator, and Benedict Cumberbatch is an A-List actor.

It looks like old AC units last forever because you only see the ones that are still working, not those that failed over the years. Classic survivorship bias.

Literally capitalism making it impossible

I think that was recently proven false. Still, the guys at Obsidian did an amazing job pumping out one of the best games of all time in a year and a half.

14 years of Conservative rule will do that to a country 🤷‍♂️

I'm back playing Escape from Tarkov. The game has some real performance issues and a pretty big cheater problem, but there is no other game on the market like it.

You've put into words exactly how I feel about BG3. It's like it's someone else's favourite game.
