We don't have the same monoculture anymore because everyone is on they phones. Appealing to a specific niche is what works now.

Your just begging the question at this point. I'm just repeating myself at this point. Your argument is that it's acceptable to kill, mass murder and rape as long as you behave yourself afterwards. It's like you care more about murderers than the victims. You'd rather give people a slap on the wrist because you dislike perpetrating any kind of violence. It's so unserious. We're talking about monstrous acts here. Like killing your children. Not small time robbery. That just not how it works in reality. People hate light sentencing for serious crime. It makes the courts look weak. It's technocratic hubris to act like courts don't serve an emotional function. People want fairness. Safety should be a given. In your version, it's acceptable to do the worst things imaginable as you long as your sorry. No hard line. That just makes it easier to get away with monstrous acts. They where about to aqcuit Lindsay Clancy for killing her children.

That's a big justification for why ceos get so much money. To buy their loyalty. I also think that government leaders should be payed more, though it's an unpopular sentiment. They have a much greater responsibility and are personally affected to a greater degree and face a lot of hate.

Insane paychecks have probably more to do with leverage than anything else. An average person do not have the resources, connections or sheer power to manipulate and negotiate/demand like a rich ceo.

A small salary of a 100 million dollars.

Specialized work = protected titles/requires certification (lawyer, doctor, skilled tradesmen) Non-specialized = non-regulated work. Credential requirements are primarily just a filter. A high-schooler could do it with a little training. Typically required less credentials in the past. It's the job market and general culture that is elitist. Credentialism is socially accepted elitism. It's because there's shortage of high paying jobs and an oversupply of workers. All the office politics is people trying to justify their position by coming off as important. If there was a shortage of workers you'd see the office politics and credentialism much less, like when IT was fledgling as an industry and starving for workers. Lot of people got in without any formal training, figuring it out as they went. Now IT is much more saturated and its much harder to get in. Degree filtering becomes useful again.

I've got like 50 hours in Morrowind. I respect it, but it's wildly outdated.

My issue is more so with how non-specialized work is gatekept behind degrees. It's an elitist system that barely gets acknowledged. It has turned into a rat race of depreciating returns. You need more and more education, from bachelor to masters to PHD, just to be treated like a high school graduate. And it's not good for the academics either. The institution is being bastardized by business motives at the cost of developing knowledge. No one really goes to college anymore to learn anything beside the freaks. 80% of the value of a degree is signaling. That's huge. And there's a subtle arrogance to how we treat intellectual development as the only valid form of intelligence. College does not suit all life paths, but we look down on construction workers despite contributing more to society than the average office worker. It's terribly elitist.

I'm sorry grandpa. Lets go for a walk behind the shed.

There are probably many more who have been wrongfully sentenced in general. Corruption is its own problem, not just relative to capital. And I agree that there's potential for abuse, which is why you need a high standard and probably a bunch of additional bodies going through it (which I believe is already the case). You have to be conspiratorial to think like that. That kind of ass pull doubt will not fly in court. Breivik is the perfect example of someone who should recieve the death penalty. There zero reasonable doubt of his guilt.

Morrowind is the worst of the mainline Elder Scrolls games (everything that came out before Morrowind don't matter). It's like a shell of an Elder Scrolls game. Everything's there but lacking in fun mechanics and interactivity. Oblivion and Skyrim improve on the concept by leaps and bounds. The only thing that Morrowind does better is challenge. Oblivion and Skyrim are very shallow comparitively. Not just in terms of combat difficulty, but in terms of RPG mechanics, how you navigate the world and even the lore and story. My main complaint with the newer games is that they are too easy and that the world revolves too much around the player character.

Kingdom Hearts is so fucken stupid. Teen emo goyslop. If your girl is super into Kingdom Hearts its genuinely a red flag. Means she's delulu.

There's a third type, the gooners. Those who don't play for story or gameplay. In fact often in spite of it.

Millennial soy boy bait game. Refer to the chart:

This is another OJ case, where the defense has effectively shifted the blame to a systemic issue, with on demographic focusing on the systemic issue (psychiatry and post-partum depression) and the other purely on the crime. It's a bit silly though. Getting emotional over systemic issue, be it psychiatry or racism, doesn't change the fact if you murdered someone or not. It's like ragebait.
