When do I get to customize penis size?
Missed opportunity to have one guy yelling ":!q"
I think you want :q!, otherwise you’re just trying to execute the q command in the shell. No wonder you’re stuck.
Stuck in the DNS server.
The program q is not installed. Install it by executing:
apt install q-dns-client

This comic gets the collective despair across so well.
We will never forget the secret ending of Sword Art Online where Kirito finally exits the game, only to find there’s another options menu in the real world.
/s (but somehow I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually did that)
WHERES THE FUCKING BUTTON
It is in your brain, is called "dissociation".
Oh boy, how great would that be
Eh, with my luck it would be the glitchy alpha version of utopia where it crashed and I had to start back at the beginning the second I walked into the door of the Federal Cupcake Bakery and Fuckatorium.
Just keep trying to enter the door in slightly different ways until it lets you in.

The scariest part is that real world is, in fact, a hardcore free-for-all PvP realm.
I'm not talking competition or something. A random person can absolutely come to you at any time, stab or shoot you and you'll be dead. Forever. No respawns.
It's only because people don't really like being murdered that led them to make and enforce rules on what violence is legitimate that curbed the violence. But even still, anytime, anywhere, by anyone, you can absolutely be killed. And if one day something breaks in the chain that makes police work, we're super screwed.
It's not the police that keep us from killing each other, or even laws that do so. Check out law and authority sometime if you're able. It's very short and worth a read. We don't kill each other because we don't enjoy being killed or killing. We're social creatures, and don't want to be shunned. Crimes of passion don't really change based on laws, but the way we organize society may actually be increasing the number of murders, because some people are desperate enough to kill for food or shelter
I read half of it. It seems to overidealize the pre-law era to a large degree. Before law we had mass slavery, constant raiding of nearby tribes and nothing to prevent anybody from taking everything from a person. There is definitely a case where laws can become draconian and force people to break them but I'd argue that in most countries law prevent more unwanted behavior than cause it.
This especially doesn't apply in modern times since you just need one person to create a private mercenary group to essentially create a mini kingdom within a loosely organised society. That person will very quickly be able to form a successful dictatorship by raiding, enslaving and demanding tribute from nearby settlements.
Even a laissez faire government with everything legal except violence will essentially make it legal to dump toxic waste on your front lawn everywhere without policing and laws. Toxic waste is currently being dumped with laws just under woefully loose law and I'd argue that we need more laws and regulation to prevent people from doing so.
I feel like anarchist theory quickly forgets that we had anarchy before law and people quickly formed kingdoms around settlements to defend themselves and aggressive kingdoms where more successful than passive ones.

It's only because people don't really like being murdered that...
No it's also, and more importantly, because people don't like murdering
If not for people’s negative feelings toward being murdered, I would only take <1% of people enjoying murdering for it to be an extinction-level problem.

you know how people in Minecraft build all kinds of wonderful and amazing things such as machinery and art and games and all kinds of shit?
that's what life would be like if we didn't have to work to survive.

Which mustn't be an issue. Most advanced nations produce a surplus of food for example. So much, that an insane amount of it is wasted and never consumed.
So in principle, sure. Some work is necessary to allow a certain quality of life for all and ensure survival. But if you think about our fucked up wealth distribution, it does not need to be so hard.
You have to work to survive in Minecraft, too. Which is to say, all those wonderful things are the product of human labor.
But in Minecraft, you get to enjoy the surplus of that labor. You don't have a handful of Whale players draining your reserves with extortionary rents.
More importantly, in Minecraft crops grow in like 3 days, you never get sick and never age, and the global population is post-apocalyptic.
It would be interesting if you could make a minecraft server with tens of thousands of people in one survival word. See how fast resources become scarce.
They will dupe the shit out of server
