So what do people think of TPM, supposedly why they're doing this?

"That said, the AO rating assignments were not a direct result of them being blockchain games, but rather how that was implemented.
"As is the case with all games, age rating assignments are dependent on the content of a game and the context in which it is presented to the player. The ESRB age and content rating system assesses whether products may reward real money, prizes with real world value, or something that can be exchanged for or converted to real money (i.e., gift cards, cryptocurrency, etc.), as well as whether there is cash spent to be eligible for such rewards. While it is not a blanket rule, it is possible that a blockchain-enabled game or app will warrant an Adults Only rating category assignment due to a combination of the factors discussed above."
So I guess this probably covers most if not all "blockchain games" but it's technically only the ones that are real money gambling.
Because resentment has moral weight, and people feel that intuitively. It's very taboo owing to being in conflict with more popular moral paradigms, so most of the time with resentment based moral thinking people pretend that's not what they're really about. But that means it is especially novel and satisfying when a character comes right out and says it, even if that character is supposed to be wrong or the bad guy.
Even if the math works out that the lottery would be EV+, you still can't know for sure it isn't crooked
Occasionally when I do web stuff I look into the big frameworks but quickly get overwhelmed and go back to simple html/css/js, so yeah I kind of just don't get what the point is or why anyone needs or wants complexity there. Large websites always do most stuff serverside anyway it seems, so where is this complexity even getting used? It is very mysterious to me. Suspect Google etc. are pushing stuff no one needs in this regard as well to move the web towards something only they can handle.
What's stopping web standards from being made simple or unchanging enough for a smaller project to maintain a functional web browser?

Coming from Reddit, the very existence of this thread is a breath of fresh air. That there are mod logs at all to be able to document this, that there is a place where it can be posted that is not under control of the mods being criticized, is an enormous improvement over an unaccountable centralized platform.
Not really, you're saying if people you dislike are associated with something then you automatically write it off without understanding it. That's self mockery.
