you know I can understand replacing the pieces but why with this random ass shit?

The pieces once represented major industries and trades - textiles, constructions, cobbling

What the fuck does a T-Rex represent? Young Earth Christian Science Museums? Is the Penguin representative of Global Warming Scare Tactics Fundraising? Does the rubber ducky indicate Pornography?

The pieces represented different professions you fuck.

Thimble = seamstress.
Wheelbarrow = laborer
Shoe = cobbler

The entire theme of the game was to go from rags to riches..

But no, lets cater to the "quirky, so random, lulz" generation generation.

That doesn't change the fact that someone, somewhere, will exploit it to raise money for themselves, claiming it's to stop global warming.

That was the point of my comment.

>>52229686

The fact they gave a warning isn't relevant.

They never explained *why* they did it. Why would they change the classic pieces? Why random animals? What purpose does it serve?

>>52229931
No, the "cause" is that Al Gore wanted to start a carbon credit trading union in Chicago that would be worth billions of dollars for his oligarch friends and accomplish nothing. The discussion of limiting greenhouse gas emissions began and ended with "how do we kill all of the Africans before they start industrializing."

It's a dead cause, and anyone trying to convince you otherwise wants your money.

Aside from Tesla, most car companies make electric cars to offset the emissions from their more profitable but gas hungry SUVs and trucks. Any one that thinks it is to "save the Earth" has swallowed the advertising bait.
That said electric cars are a decent product, but only if you live in an area with charging stations and/or your commute is well with in the battery range of your car. In other words first world suburban and urban people.

>>52229949
>it exists for people to play it incorrectly and then get in fights
Monopoly fights can get heated. It's part of what makes the game so much fun.

>>52229626
This is due to the manchildren effect. The people (millenials) who voted in the polls like rubber duckies, T-Rexes, and penguins because they're still children inside, rather than adults.

Rubber ducky represents youtubers and camwhores

It's originally Cluedo, but is called Clue in America.

It's a very dry game for people who like murder mysteries (who are already very dry people anyway). "Updating" Clue is like trying to make a modernized version of an Agatha Christie novel, but have Poirot be some teenage prodigy from Quebec or having Miss Marple be in her late 30s and know judo.

The Penguin represents open source operating systems and computer software in general, as Gentoo Linux's mascot is a penguin.

The Rubber Duck represents social media (duck face selfies) or the viral and consumable nature of internet meme culture, much like Florentijn Hofman's rubber duck sculptures being rebloged and displayed literally everywhere around the world.

The T. Rex probably represents old media, still a multibillion dollar industry but losing ground and in steady decline as the internet takes over.

>When Monopoly was first concocted, the game’s inventor (although whether he stole the idea is highly disputed and probably true), Charles Darrow, envisioned players using small items from around their homes as playing pieces. Your sister could have been a button and you could have been a bottle cap or a lighter, for instance. It was at the suggestion of Darrow’s niece that the pieces be charms from a girl’s charm bracelet.

In french thimble is "dé à coudre".
That could be translated to "sewing dice".

I really like how some pieces are silver and some are gold. It will almost certainly not look retarded.

Who is still buying Monopoly? Why the hell does any household need sixteen differently-themed copies of this terrible game? Who cares what they do to the pieces and isn't just looking for things to be mad at?
Besides, they're clearly only doing this to trick angry people into viraling.

If I buy one nice pair of shoes, and I wear them out, and instead of buying a newer pair I get the old ones fixed, what does that say about my financial priorities

If you buy one nice car, and a part wears out, do you buy a new car or get a new part?

Stop buying cheapass shoes and maybe you'll see why cobbling isn't dead.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Why and how the fuck did key cutting and cobbling become inextricably linked. You never see just a cobbler or just a key maker. It's always both.

Middle and lower class people do not typically own many 'nice pairs of shoes' nor do they typically live near nor can they afford fancy shops you may be used to like tailors and cobblers.

>>52245352
Living in the nice parts of the city does. I'm pretty sure there's no fucking cobbler in a ghetto.

i live in one of the shittiest areas of portland and there is a cobbler not six blocks from me

I need to find out if there's a cobbler where I live I got me a nice pair of lebrons and they're the first shoes I ever got that was worth more than 70 dollars (I need high tops because I rolled shit for my feet/legs when I was born) and these are the best pair I have ever had. Don't want to just throw them out after 4/5 months

>>52231623
The Africa part is legitimate. Africa's population is going nuclear, and most of the continent is extremely low-tech. The Chinese are starting to kickstart their industrialization--and unless they do it in an EXTREMELY environmentally conscious way, their greenhouse gas emissions will make China's look like a hippy commune. This is pretty much unavoidable unless we militarily force them not to industrialize or to use more expensive and less efficient sources of energy than coal and oil--which they won't because it's Africa being guided by China.

Plus we're already past the Carbon tipping point. The game is pretty much over. All that's left is to see how quickly the southern hemisphere becomes uninhabitable, and what kind of Visigoth-esque mass migration this results in. I'm sure the Russians will be loving every laugh from their suddenly fertile nightmare-country as Germany gets Blacked even harder.

Even the poor people in Portland are retired on wads of cash.

Why do thimbles have the little dimples in them if they're just to protect your fingers? Is it for grip, or something else?

There are cobblers everywhere. There are cobblers at the mall. People use cobblers all the time because when you own a pair of $300 boots and the only part that's worn out is the heel, it's stupid the throw them out when a $20 replacement heel is all you need.

>>52246861
It's to help push the needle through (tough) material.

They didn't do much with changing anything with Holmes in the new series.

With the examples given, Poirot is suppose to be the unassuming looking Belgian guy with a mustache that solves murders based on nothing more than just using his brain and Miss Marple is suppose to a quiet old British lady who solves murders because no one pays any attention to her and she knows how to soak up information because of it. Changing that changes their characters radically.

Rich Retirees.
It's funny, actually. The hipsters from the 80s/90s Portland pushed legislation to make it to where there didn't have to be affordable housing to fuck with the homeless/people moving there to be part of that Portlandia mystique. Then, when the rich yuppies who finally retired came to Portland, they drove the property taxes up and the hipsters were priced out of their town because it was legal to not build new affordable housing and are now the worthless bums "ruining" Portland.
