    that the way the Federal Reserve creates currency and introduces it into the economy is to issue it to banks as loans

    That is the major way. There are other ways, too.

    and that this means that the amount of money in existence is necessarily smaller than the amount of debt.

    Can anyone with an understanding of monetary policy comment on this?

    Well, as an empirical statement, it is true to say that "the amount of money in existence is smaller than the amount of debt."

    But this isn't really necessarily true, nor is it a direct effect of central banking. It can also be emergent simply from the nature of debt.

    Example: I start a business and I take out a $100k loan to cover startup costs. After a year, I'm operating in the black. I have $80k left in debt to the bank, $20k in my company bank account, $5k per week coming in as accounts receivables, and $4k per week going out as expenses. In this scenario, I carry $80-$84k in debt at any given time, $20-25k in cash at any given time, and my customers owe me up to $5k at any given time. Even if you take into account the amount of money paid from my initial capital loan to other entities (like suppliers), the total debt load in this system is higher than the total cash value of this system.

    Or more simply, if I loan you $1, and then you loan that $1 to Alice, and then Alice loans $1 to Bob, and then Bob loans $1 to Chris, then that single dollar bill has been instrumental in $4 worth of debt.

    The aggregate amount of debt held by all parties is higher than the aggregate amount of money held by all parties.

    Yeah, a quick example of one way the Fed creates currency is quantitative easing. They bought mortgage backed securities from banks (and loans) from banks to increase the monetary base.

    it's not as good as steam but its not like it interferes in the game at all

    it's actively interfered and prevented me from enjoying a game to the point where I don't think I'll buy an origin based game ever again

    getting dead space 3 to work on it was like pulling teeth

    it's like paying money to buy a game and then paying several more hours of your life to get it to work. it's a temperamental system that pokes its head into every aspect of non-single player gaming (and a lot of single player gaming!) and then makes everything stop working when it decides it doesn't want to connect for you

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    If I could ever be GOOD at a FPS, I could be that guy

    But unlike basically all other video games, I can't even be competent at them

    But I'd be really good at being the victim in such circumstances

    I have been watching a let's play of this game. Mostly because I don't care enough about South Park to probably buy it myself except for like 5 bucks.

    This game is hilarious and really really really fucked up.
