I like playstation but I'd take samsung over sony in any product across the board.
makes me feel less bad about these people getting their hands in so many pots.
I might end up getting a PS4 or a Vita one day, because of PSN+ I keep getting all these titles added along to my PS3 collection of games, and I have no way to play them. Maybe when the PS4 is $300/$200 I can pick one up and have a big collection of games ready.
A new PS3 with a decent HDD for those PS+ games in 2014 is still $300. We won't see PS4s for $200 for years and years.
But they'd get my money for software! So much money. Like, $30 for a discounted PSN+ subscription every November. Can they afford not to cut their hardware prices?
I'll buy a PS4 when the PS5 is ready to launch and collect all the AAA PS4 games for $5 apiece.

Obamacare would be fine if not for the Medicare donut. Everything else is just a smokescreen. Its not perfect but its not substantially different than the Swiss system.
Literally no one has a problem with our version in Massachusetts. If you're poor you get healthcare free. If you're lower middle class you get subsidized healthcare. If you have a job you get healthcare. You have to willfully choose not to have coverage in order to not have coverage.
it sucked while on unemployment because i had made enough throughout the year to not qualify for masscare, but wasn't actually pulling in enough on unemployment to reasonably afford healthcare.
i ended up just paying the penalty, which was a pretty shitty outcome.

I think a society with many polygamous marriages can be surprisingly non-dysfunctional in each of those families
I just don't think that liberalism has any good idea on what to do with the excess heterosexual males
Polyamory is not necessary polygamy, and marriage need not entail exclusivity for the male or female members. Ergo, the only excess males are those in the friendzone.
I don't think that's sustainable either! I think norms will merely shift in an illiberal direction until the marriage market equilibrium - or, if you prefer, the amorous relationship equilibrium - is achieved again
What are you saying? Your original post seemed to describe that as marriages occupied available women at a faster rate than men, there would be a surplus of available men. My response is that a married woman can still bang other dudes even if the only marriages were one-man-many-women instead of mixed or opposite ratios.
well, as you yourself pointed out, polyamory is not the same as polygamy. Fine. one-man-many-women relationships would still be problematic to balance.
I myself have advocated the idea that STD epidemiology data do not suggest that the conventional :biotruths: idea that aggressive young men cultivate a harem of women at their most fertile and only surrender them to "betas" once they're old and less desirable, but then there are still strong social pressures against maintaining multiple concurrent sexual partners.
You're assuming a need to balance where none exists, and the social pressures have little to do with the workability of such relationships among individuals who don't ascribe to them.
Imagine I am in a relationship with Jane, Cindy, and Sara. You're assuming that somewhere, there are two dudes who have to be single because I am one man 'taking up' three women. But there is nothing stopping any of these women necessarily from being with either of those dudes in addition to the relationship that they are already in with me.
Unless you're talking about tax benefits for actual, legal marriage or something?
then that's not a society with predominant polygyny, since you have now added two polyandrous relationships
I don't know why you keep assuming the default polyamorous society would be polygynous
Like, no one has made that claim
Sure, it has some historical basis, but there are also historical examples of polyandrous societies
and for :biotruths" polyandry is really common in nature, and even among other primates
I think if you took sexual institutions and culture as they exist today, or are likely to exist for in the near future
and made formal polygamy possible by legal fiat
it would be overwhelmingly polygynous marriages
I kind of disagree, at least in the West. I'd predict a rather even split, unless we include people who are polyamorous through coercive means (i.e. religious/cult problems)
From my admittedly limited experience interacting with the western community it tends to skew either pretty evenly OR along homosexual polyamourous relationships, which kind of break down the whole "polyandrous/polygynous" split as classically defined
we are talking about "the real world, only polygamy is legal" as opposed to "the real world, only polygamy is legal and also everyone's brains have been rewritten wrt concepts of gender and sexuality" right?
because i think your conjecture refers to the second thing.

Don't count on that. A huge part of the PS3's continued high price is in the very non-standard parts that still don't have the best yields. Most of AMD's fab is crazy inexpensive and fairly high yield.
The only thing I see keeping the PS4 super high in cost will be their choice to use GDDR5 as their primary RAM - that shit is crazy expensive for a marginal performance bump.

I bought Gears of War 2 for $1 at gamestop yesterday. The big fat collector's edition with the metal case and artbook. For a dollar. Someone paid $80 new for it, then they got tired of it, and now it's mine for a buck.
The Gears 3 Collector's Edition is p.swag, just a big heavy metal cog in a display case. It's the one vidya collectible tchotchke I have on a bookcase (practically on display!) because it looks cool even without the Gears fandom context.
The downside, as with oh so many of these things, is that it came with a dumb game case, made up to look like an ingame data disk, rather than. Y'know. A game box. I hate that, cause then I can't put Gears 3 next to Gears 1 and 2 on the shelf.
Same with Last of Us, got the Ellie Edition as a birthday present, which yay, awesome fancy edition! But then the game came in a little cardboard dealie. No The Last Of Us in my stack of PS3 games cause it's gotta be special.
You'd think there'd be some easy way to acquire 'regular edition' cases for nerds like me who fall for the dumb special editions, so they can stick the games in regular cases for consistency's sake.

No, not at all
See PantsB's post on the bottom of last page. I don't 100% agree with it, but I agree with most of it. I think the prevalence of female harems was more of a function of older power architecture than anything else, and I don't think a modern society has dealt with polyamory healthily until now. And the best current model we have is from the gay/lesbian community, which kind of throws a lot of wrenches into what we typically think of.
I would definitely think it would be more likely that there would be more bi-sexual (?) women being a centerpoint of some kind of relationship than there would be one dude with multiple wives, outside of places with an existing power structure for that
I bought Gears of War 2 for $1 at gamestop yesterday. The big fat collector's edition with the metal case and artbook. For a dollar. Someone paid $80 new for it, then they got tired of it, and now it's mine for a buck.
Hmm, flipping through the artbook, I noticed Epic Games is a tad lacking in diversity.
I like how a statement about polyamory somehow turned into legalization of polygamous fidelity
there are a lot of conclusions to jump there
plus the even farther implication that this would inevitably lead to an increase in polygynous relationships, to the detriment of the available mate pool for men
i could totally see myself feeling very strongly for multiple people. i don't know if i'd expect any sort of dilution, or anything- i could see that being appealing, to have multiple people in your life.
it's the opposite that makes me nope the fuck out. there's no way i could go on a weekend retreat with someone and put a necklace on them i got them for christmas and shop together for furniture knowing she's getting railed by another dude.
it feels strange to me to try and pursue the first if the sort of corollary is so appalling to me.
I had a friend who wanted a poly relationship where it would be her, a girlfriend and a boyfriend and all of them living in the same house together. Interesting concept but not sure if it would have worked for me. Still, if all parties involved felt comfortable with it all the power to them.
For he only ever mentions two pleasures and he does not call them pleasures. There is no wine in Mimnermos' verse, no warm bath, no running animal, no cherries or silk or pale blue bones, no dice, no slapstick nights of song ... It is haunted from two directions at once, which we call pleasures to justify our hedonist calculus. Sex and light. Let us consider how they move him.
He lets this brilliant shape move through time like a needle stitching together the two moments that compose nostalgia. Then and now. The fact that we are no longer in the light (by the time we look for it) is his subject.
When Mimnermos sees the light, he sees it gone - like Jason in [fragment 7] gone down his adversary road to the place where the sun god, Helios, and all the lights of the world lie stored in counterfactuality against us. "Nor would have . . ." this fragment begins. Nor would the mechanical death of moments come roaring down on us as darkness, had we not stopped to look round for the light.
Of course the fragment may be incomplete. But then so is Tithonos.
Mimnermos is a poet intrigued by beginnings and endings, but not in the usual way - who reveres noon as a study in true black: "socketed." There is no afternoon in Mimnermos. Consider as sound play the difference between youth and age in his typical diction: repeatedly applied to descriptions of old age is the adjective argaleon, which means "hard" and sounds like a fall of rocks down a dry ravine. Contrasted with it ... is the adjective harpaleon, which means "gentle" and sounds like a secret trout on the slip down the fathoms. It would be heartless to point out that, save for one consonant and the initial aspirate, these are the same word. When the soft p of harpaleon becomes the hard g of argaleon, all motions of day rigidify into the solid soul damage of nature's presupposition. Hedonism lies not beyond but prior to this - already forfeit.
Shadows settle on the place, that you left
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time
From the perfect start to the finish line
