Or, put in modern terms: There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.
Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Gaming@lemmy.world•What is your personal favorite multiplayer game and what is it's fatal flaw?English3·9 days agoLeft4Dead
Fatal flaw: Versus mode (PvP) with random strangers is almost always awful. Only well-balanced teams of roughly equal skill can have a good time, which is unlikely when playing with randos.
As opposed to the co-op campaigns where it’s OK if some players are better than others because we’re all on the same team and a good player can carry several n00bs.

Melllvar@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If one were so inclined, could you take your plot of land, parcel it up into 1-meter-squared (or smaller) sections, and sell each of those sections to different people/companies?English26·13 days agoThese are known as souvenir plots. Generally, you aren’t buying the land, but rather you’re buying a contractual right to prevent the actual owner from developing the land.

It wouldn’t solve any problems that can’t be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven’t had to worry about before. It’d be a net loss for everyone involved.

Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Not the Onion@lemmy.ml•Pakistan nominates Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace PrizeEnglish16·16 days agoFrom what I can tell it’s a tweet in which they “recommend” his nomination, rather than nominate him themselves.
While members of national legislatures are allowed to nominate people for a Nobel prize, national governments per se are not.
