Yeah, a lot of awful people in positions of power would go. I hope I wouldn’t use it for petty things like “parking in the bike lane”.
Removing a lot of the forces keeping the capitalist dystopia in place might let something else grow.
I work at a shitty megacorp where they hire people as “contractors” and then have them act like full time employees, but without any paid time off or health insurance.
I have made this joke a few times when people were like “work late to finish the thing!”
The ICs found it funny. The corporate ghouls and boot lickers did not.
It’s not trivial to leave. Finding work is hard. Housing is hard, especially if you’re not physically there to look at places. Getting permanent status is difficult. For many people in the US, they only speak English. Maybe Spanish. So that’s limiting.
Feels pretty good living in one of the few parts of the US where you don’t need a car. Just walk or take transit.
Moving to such a place isn’t practical for everyone, sadly.
And that’s the end of using reddit, right?


If it’s going to make LLMs it’s not as useful as the other things I listed. Paying a bunch of software engineers $300k each to work on LLM nonsense instead of something useful is a shame. Sure, the money isn’t set on fire, but the opportunity cost is large.
I think all the ones owned by match group (tinder, okcupid, hinge, match, more …) have ads. Sometimes they’ll show you ads for other services they own. It’s real weird getting an ad for tinder on hinge.


That’s a lot of money that could have been spent on healthcare, food security, housing, transit, climate change problems…


Some of the ER dungeons are neat. Even the dull ones are mostly fine as an intro.
They do feel a bit pointless once you know what the loot is. Maybe it would’ve been neat if clearing them had some other nice effect, but that might’ve turned into a chore.


This is why gamers will own nothing and love it.
It’s just children eating marshmallows.
Being mildly uncomfortable and skipping the new hotness is just unthinkable for a lot of people.


The police involved should be treated as murderers.


It’s the poor empathy thing again. They can’t really imagine someone else as different than themselves.


I actually never played much XCOM, but I did play a lot of final fantasy tactics. And the original fallout.
I think Baldur’s gate 3 cheats though, since with karmic dice off I rolled four natural 1s in a row, twice.


I’ve played a lot of games with random factors. Sometimes you miss that 99% shot three times in a row. People kind of assume anything above 80% is 100%, which is silly.
Preferring an absence of tension over the presence of justice is famously a weak moral position to take.
Those are two very different things.
Someone who says “I’m not very political” in a maga-infused bar because they’re afraid of being assaulted for being left-wing isn’t really the same as “I’m tired so I’m not going to stand up for my neighbor today”


These people need to be ruined. Lose their job. Barred from working in similar roles for life. Put their boss on notice- if their underlings pull this again then they go, too.


A woman who was arrested on Saturday after she drove a truck through a youth soccer game in Wichita, Kansas – killing a boy and a man – has been released from custody without charges pending further investigation, according to authorities.
Once again, the best way to do some murder is with a car. People just accept it
These big cars should be illegal. Or at least require a special license. Hate seeing them here in the city taking up a ton of space.
