We are socially competitive animals, just as you can observe in other evolutionarily programmed creatures. We compare ourselves to others, we want to impress mates, etc.

All of which can be achieved in a communist system, only instead of "look at my huge paycheck", it'd be "look at all these skills I've acquired thanks to free public education and more free time". People would stop mindlessly showing off innane manufactured waste and start actually acquire useful knowledge.

Communism starves our human impulses to succeed and grow

Nothing about communism forces human impulses to be ignored, unless you mean the impulses we already suppress as sentient beings, such as fucking everything that moves or eating until we literally die.

Capitalism is in no way necessary. It's a poison, a cancer, a virus which at all given times threatens to destroy the fabric of society, all for the next quarter's profit.

And most of the time you'd be right.

I love the Not-Monster™ can on the table.

Yup. It also instantly supports even the most bizarre and unknown GPUs, like the BGA-only APU HD6310.

Humans really are weird. Trying to replace a perfectly fine bio-machinery that developed over Thousands of years with their own steel junk. I dont see why anybody would prefer that gadget over a tree.

Can you plant a tree capable of capturing the same amount of CO2 as those algae in that small a space? How about "refilling" the tree if it happens to die?

Society doesn't have to lock itself to a single solution for countless varied problems. If we're talking about a long, empty walkway, or a park, then trees are a great solution. If we're talking about a small space that must be kept free of obstructions, such as a bus stop, then a sack or box of phytoplankton is much better suited.

Your question isn't entirely a hypothetical - this happened at the dawn of time, when photosynthetic life forms first evolved. First, it won't ever happen again, no matter how good we get at scooping CO2 from the atmosphere. Second, the result is theoretically catastrophic for aerobic life forms, but it's also a negative feedback loop, meaning it self corrects.

I'll be honest, if you use Linux, AMD is a must.

Japanese culture and all that.

Catastrophic battery failure isn't really any less likely than catastrophic power supply failure (conceptually. If you use a brandless grey power supply, results may vary).
