It’s not reductive, it’s misrepresentative. A puzzle game is only a puzzle game as long as coming up with the solution is the main task. There are more than enough games where coming up with the right solution is not difficult, but performing it is.

Also the name puzzle game implies that there are designed puzzles. Any game where you have to make decisions in generated situations aren’t puzzle games. For example if you take a specific chess situation and ask which move would lead to check mate in x moves then that’s a chess puzzle. That doesn’t make the game of chess itself a puzzle.

No, actually C#'s answer should be: “What Java said - hold on, what Python said sounds good too, and C++'s stuff is pretty cool too - let’s go with all of the above.”

C#, or as I like to call it “the Borg of programming languages”.

My first thought was well. “Father expelled as PE teacher after being exposed as convicted marathon runner.”

This is something I really don’t understand. Maybe you can explain it to me.

For me a “normal” day would be one where earth looks like the moon. The fact that we have all kinds of plants and animals is amazing and the fact that we have buildings, technology and culture is something to be very proud of, because every day that you don’t run around killing people or doing other horrible things is a day where you overcame your instincts and helped hold up culture. So to me every day, even one that you would deem “shit that happens in your life”, is absolutely amazing and something to be proud of.

But for someone who believes that there is a God a normal day would be one where everything works out great, and it would just be because God took care of it. A bad day would mean that for whatever reason this God decided to let you suffer. And this is supposed to make you feel good?

Isn’t it uplifting to say that you can’t explain why bad things happen to you? Do you really think it’s uplifting to think that bad things happen to you because an all powerful being decided that you deserved it?

Of course trickle down works. I just don’t get how people came to believe that the rich people (i.e. the place with all the money/water) is the top of the mountain and the poor people were the ocean.

There are so many reasons why money constantly trickles from the poor all the way down to the rich.

Completely agree. I am German and it’s utterly ridiculous.
