I am anxious about money, so instead of being anxious about lack of money, I would be anxious about having what I see as too much money.

To be honest, “If it’s not giving me what I wanted out of this transaction, then it’s bad.” is a heuristic that works well for most things we buy. If I buy candy and it doesn't taste good, it's bad. If I buy a car and it breaks down, it's bad.

I think the real problem is that some people see games as a product and others see it as an art piece. Some games fail at being either, some succeed at both.

To play the devil's advocate, Poland and the Baltic states received a lot of third country refugees (from Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Sudan, etc.) from Russia and Belarus before the war in Ukraine.

It was a hybrid warfare campaign where Russians would advertise how easy it is to cross the border and how good life is on the other side. They would also help them get to the border.

Those refugees quickly overran Baltic refugee centers and caused political instability.

Wall rugs are hung for two reasons:

  • Insulation, both for temperature and sound, back when other insulating materials were unavailable.

  • If a rug is particularly expensive, they are hung to prevent them from getting dirty, especially if the owner's feet get dirty from farmwork.

Probably yes, although a lot of cheapskates will unscrew some of them when not in use to save energy.

A nation is easier to define by what it is not, than by what it is.

Lithuanian nation since 1860s became defined as "those who refuse to be Polish".

All that Putin has done is made it easier for Ukrainians, collectively say "we are Ukrainian, because we refuse to be Russian."
