Wall of text..? that isn't even two paragraphs. I worry about the integrity of the wiki if an illiterate boar such as yourself is its main contributor.

Aren't all boars illiterate?

would make a great video game level

you could run all over the ship doing courier quests and helping keep the environmental systems running and taking care of the animals and stuff

maybe there's like a minigame where u plot a course using advanced math or something

why don't people take care of themselves and others anymore?

do you mean americans?

i can't say for the world at large, but for americans i think it's partly because so much is commodified in our society, and we think of so much in terms of cost and value... and partly because our society encourages individualism to a point of fault, sometimes... and partly because our media and development teaches us to compartmentalize and categorize other based on a surface level analysis

i often think of the folks that gripe about some person at the grocery store buying a bunch of food on food stamps, and then having the audacity to "own a cellphone"

i think about my former boss, who was really mad this dude i worked with had a nicer car than the boss. This dude had hydroencephalitis and worked part time, but had long gotten money for the debilitating medical condition from the state. The boss just kind of assumed this dude had used "welfare money" to get the car. I asked him about it once, he got the car from his grandma when she died

I’ve never had a problem with “Obamaphones” for two simple reasons: 1. Very limited talk minutes on those and 2. DES - dep’t of economic security that you have to go through to access or renew social services such as food stamps, welfare, Medicaid health insurance, SSID, moves as slow as molasses, like all government programs…compared to the private sector, the customer service is garbage

This means 2 hour holds which will sometimes result in a hang up to reduce call volume. So the Obamaphone is worthless here. They’ll most likely try to use it to get in touch with DES, and then run out of minutes before they can get what they need to get done

But there are definitely ways to exploit social safety nets as well though
