Good to see the strict typing of C has saved it from most security issues. i think it it is quite facetious to put it down to type systems.

Nothing wrong with being strong, successful and dominant, right up until you cant take the pressure. Then you are too strong, dominant and successful to ask for help.

what does it mean to be strong? is it without weakness? or the strength to acknowledge that weakness. If you're so strong you never cry is that really strength?

being dominant sounds like a good idea but once you think about it, it seems a bit absurd. everything humans do well we do as a team. being dominant only means you can be in charge of a team and not a supporting part.

and lastly success. What is success? is it just money? that's hardly a good measure. is it to be happy? and if that comes at the expense of not being "strong and dominant" then what have you left?

You're describing a fantasy, an archetype and it does you and men in general no favours by striving to be something so ephemeral. In the end you will always fail and then where are you?

> they could choose to pay for firefighters and have them come out to douse my house in defense of their own.

Good to see you support others taking on your risk. This is the essence of universal healthcare.

Have you looked in the options? you can disable most of those things your complaining about in the vanilla game. you can even disable the limiter if you're feeling brave!
