@youronlyone@c.im I loved it, I played the original SIF for about 7 years, then switched to playing DanMachi Memoria Freese, then SIF2 for the 3 months it was open before they shut it down. I miss it alot, because I adore LoveLive! and the music.
@youronlyone@c.im I played for a short time when I live in Seattle, but I moved back east in 2014, and there wasn't much activity here, so I dropped it in favor of LoveLive! School Idol Festival.
@PuddleOfKittens It is very much a mistake to suggest that "traditional" cities grew "organically" or "naturally", or even that they represent "human scale". Human settlement has always been subject to land use restrictions. The European and Japanese cities featured in this article as exemplars evolved they way they did under severe feudal land restrictions, not because there was any kind of conscious choice to build that way. Article is 11 yrs old, "New Urbanism" is no longer fashionable.
@LibertyLizard I did watch it. Like most videos of its type, it throws up a bunch of relevant-seeming statistics uncritically. You cannot make a bare comparison of rents between cities with wildly differing income structures and land values.
Did the author not wonder why Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are so low on the list, despite being highly desireable places to live?
@Aceticon In any case, please do not continue to mansplain Liberty and Libertarianism to me. I'm quite certain that I know more about both than you do.
@Aceticon Of course, hypocrisy in Politics is nothing new. Most "Democrats" have no interest in democracy, and most "liberals" have no interest in liberalism. Neither do most "Republicans" have any interest in republicanism. Cry me a river, why don't you.
@Aceticon You are confusing the fact that the majority of people who self-identify as "libertarian" are not actually interested in Liberty with actual Liberty. This is not a new problem. It is the central conflict within libertarianism, and it always has been.
@yesman It is absolutely false that there are "no true libertarians". You are engaging in a logical fallacy.
Liberty is not a difficult concept to understand, and if a person professes a belief that is contrary to Liberty, then that belief is not truly libertarian, but this does not imply that it is categorically impossible to be truly libertarian.
The individual is not "the weakest political unit", it is the ONLY political unit.
@ajsadauskas@technology These guys are not "libertarians", at all. They are, in fact, the antithesis of libertarian. They are authoritarians who believe in liberty only for themselves.

@youronlyone@c.im I honestly didn't even know Ingress was still operational.

@LibertyLizard I just feel like this video is going to misinterpret so many things about reality.
I'm curious as to why you think this video is "well-researched". Because it throws a lot of statistics of dubious relelvance on the screen?
@Imperor @dndhomebrew @dnd@lemmy.world @DnD@kbin.social @askgamemasters @worldbuilding @ttrpgs I can only really say that for my part, in my setting of Enrathe, humans, "orcs", "elves", and "dwarves" are actually all the same species who diversified long ago into different cultures, and "halflings" don't exist.
@Aceticon Fuck off, you ridiculously idiotic twat.

@GarlicBender Unfortunately. Such people give the very idea of Liberty a bad name. They have now become what libertarianism is in the public's eye.
