  • EDIT: What I said in this comment probably is not true. While the changes I made were added to the map, only users can create pokestops via a review process, apparently. Must have been a coincidence.


    Niantic uses Open Streetmaps to create their pokestops. Somebody probably created a P.O.I. on the island based on a real statue or structure which an algorithm then automatically turned into a pokestop.

    Source: I sometimes contribute to OSM and the additions I make often turn into pokestops a couple of weeks after, especially in remote areas without other P.O.I.s nearby.



  • I think government pension is probably one the least capitalist ideas out there. There’s no such thing as a pure capitalist society, just like how there’s never been a true socialist society. Only ones that subscribe more to their respective ideas more than their peers. To me, what makes a society capitalist is a foundations belief in a free markets and the voluntary trade of goods and services, and a socialist society is one where the means of production are pushed towards collective ownership.



  • I think it’s like making a cake using box mix. Of course home made is infinitly better but at least you still have a cake at the end of it.

    Maybe this soulless AI cat guy will have some human spirit put into them when the creator puts them into a really personal digital puppet show that allows them to express themselves through writing and storytelling as opposed to 3D modeling.














  • Banding together to collectively negotiate is fully compatible with the philosophy of capitalism. Under a free market, individuals are free to associate and disassociate as they please. What isn’t compatible is forcing other people to band together even if they don’t want to.

    If you strike break, you will be arrested by the police.

    If you compensate someone’s work with a wage, you will be arrested by the police.

    You have no freedom to associate by your own will.
