how did that guy make his money? Unless you are a criminal, money is a “score” of the service you have provided to other people as they have paid you for whatever value you have given them. Thus, a billionaire is not a leech but a person who has provided tremendous value to others.
Do you think that if Jeff Bezos wasn't born, there would be no big online store? That he "invented" Amazon?
Such a platform would've emerged regardless of him. He isn't responsible to it, and he sure as fuck isn't contributing 50000x as much to society as I am, to be paid that much more.
Money isn't a score for contribution, it isn't labour vouchers, and its not fair in the way you pretend it to be.

Aren't you the guy who argued with me that Elon Musk is a bum or something a while ago?

Anyway, I believe that if it wasn't for leaders like Jeff Bezos then people would still live in huts and play in the mud. Maybe such a platform would've emerged, maybe not. Imagine how many things we don't have because a guy like Jeff Bezos hasn't created it yet. Are you gonna do it? Or should I say, bother?

If Bezos got run over by a car, another website would've grown to be Amazon. The technology and demand existed, Bezos just lucked into being the one to benefit from it. Same with Musk and PayPal, which I may have written on this forum before. Same with most billionaires. Your view of progress and growth is childish.

so how many multi billion dollar companies have you "lucked" into? Your view of what is required to be a leader is childish. It's not just about luck but hard work. Most people are lazy and don't have a vision. JB had the vision and he payed the price to build the thing.

Not long ago I watched an interview with Jack Ma where he almost cried saying that his wife told him he doesn't belong to her but to Alibaba. How many people are willing to sacrifice this much for a dream?

Negro....
Have you seen the Olympics? The world's finest, who dedicate their entire life and being to excellency. Of these, 1 wins the gold. The others are still exceptional excellent athletes.
Amazon isn't the first online store. It almost certainly wasn't the best, and if it was, it was the best by 0.01%. Then the money started coming in, and snowballing. Literally lucked into billions.
Could it have been me? No. But it could've been one of the other TENS OF THOUSANDS of intelligent hard working men doing the same sort if thing around the same sort of time. And if Bezos had read your posts, and died of laughter at your childish worldview, one of the other competent online stores with a hard working founder CO would've lucked into wealth, and would've used the wealth to develop, and from there its smooth sailing.
Bezos isn't the most hard working, most intelligent man alive, and even if he were, he isn't X times as smarter and harder working than your dentist, where X is the difference in wealth. Ergo, wealth is not distributed according to merit, because billionaires have outsized wealth, which doesn't match their relative merit.

And, I can't stress this enough, everyone knows this. Children know this. Dogs know this. Libertarians are the last animals on this planet that don't know it.

That is true, an athlete might win by just an inch. Or a company might win by only a small margin. I don't know enough about the history of ecommerce to comment on the rest. All I know that people are grouped into leaders and followers, and that business is not a one day competition but you have to be constantly solving problems for years to grow your company. Was Jeff Bezos only 0.01% better than the others? Maybe, but how many others were there exactly? I don't know but if I had to guess, not many. Not many that could compete anyways.

What I do know is that there are Amazon knock offs in other countries, and they are shit by comparison. Shouldn't these companies do much better because Amazon paved the way and showed them how it's done? Yet they are still shit. The same goes for games, shouldn't a lot of games be GOOD because the best games are only 0.01% better? Shouldn't there be TENS OF THOUSANDS great games? Yet we still see so many shit games either due to lack of talent of effort.

Your thinking just doesn't make sense in the real world.

Would they be worse than Amazon, if they had the kind of capital Amazon has, to develop and attract more competent staff and operate on smaller profit margins?
The situation is, if you are 0.01% better, you get money, and you use the money to become much better. But if the other guy, who was 0.01% worse than you, got the money, he'd use it to become much better than you. So the money made the difference, not your initial small advantage.
Just like if a result is higher up on Google, it gets more clicks, and more engagement, and stays the highest result on Google, even if there is a better one on the second page. Like how the Fextralife wiki for Baldur's Gate 3 keeps being linked, despite it being actual garbage full of adverts, and the community wiki doesn't even show in the top results on Google.

Having been a multi-account user for over a decade, I must say this tool is simply a godsent. I can keep a single ignore list for all my accounts at the same time.

edit: oops, wrong handle

Bester i've added some tweak to your mod, it removes reactions from ignored users in the "reactions received" panel

You can add this to your code.

Code:
function applyRemoveButtonsModDom2() {

    let posts = document.querySelectorAll('li.block-row--separated');
    let reactionListPosts = document.querySelector('ul.js-reactionList-0');
    for(let i = 0; i <posts.length; i++){
        let posterID = posts[i].querySelector('a[data-user-id]').getAttribute('data-user-id');
        if(ignoredUsers.has(posterID)){
            reactionListPosts.removeChild(posts[i]);
        }
    }
}
I'll give it to you straight, I have no idea where the repos is on my pc. If you make a pull request, I'll merge it. But otherwise, it'll take a few years to make it into the project, if we're being optimistic.

But given how we're the two only users of this script and I don't mind ignored people giving me positive ratings, we're basically good.

There could be two other ways to do this:
1. Remove ratings from ignored users based on the disabled buttons like retadred
2. Remove ratings from all users based on the disabled buttons like retadred

Stavrophore I tried inserting your code in there, but I never figured out where it's supposed to be called.

Add a div to the left of Save Info, which will fade in a green text Info Saved! for a few seconds, then fade it out, when the button Save Info is pressed.
Right now I get anxiety about if I actually pressed the button, since there's no reaction, and end up pressing it 5 times to be sure.

The negative ratings have killed this forum's personality, because people don't need to argue their stances anymore they just rate and move on, and so I salute this mod, and I hope more people adopt it.
This seems to be true, from experience. But also I don't need a notification every time a resident culture warrior is butthurt by reality, such as "AC Origins is set on a part of the African continent". But that's about what I'd expect from those outrage circlejerk threads. Those get really big, mostly ranting about niggers. They really have nothing else to talk about on a gaming forum.

Bezos's grandad had a senior position at DARPA.... you know... the guys who built the internet. And then he got his gusano stepfather a high paying job at Exxon. All these richfaggots always make up a sob story about how they were poor and self made, but it's never true. Somehow this impoverished family was able to fund the founding of Amazon with tens of thousands of dollars. The rest of his success can only be attributed to dot com bubble, when you could make a call and say "uuuuuh... internet?" and get infinite money to do whatever you want.
Musk was born into a family that owned gem mines in South Africa. Pretty much all of his retarded vanity projects have failed and he had to be bailed out with tax payer money (free market lol). Everything that he claims success for was done by other people, he simply funded it with government gibs and slave mine income.
Gates went into the only school in the world that had a computer class.

A proper codexer shouldn't use hacks anyway but instead should have notebooks full of information on all his (imagined) enemies

Also a wall like this
