I will continue to avoid McDonald’s. Not going to break a no-meat streak for a shitty burger.

I wonder if this was caused in part by assholes pushing onto the train before people could get off.

Just spent 10 minutes fooling around with fluxer via the web ui. Was able to invite a dice bot, but couldn’t get it to respond. (Also it’s very D&D-specific, but that’s a separate complaint)

Looks so much like Discord

Perhaps you would prefer to live in a dystopia where the bread is full of sawdust and the milk is rotten.

Linux has been fine for me for a couple years. Fuck Microsoft.

You shouldn’t be allowed to sell “raw” cheese. It’s unsafe.

The people who did so should face charges analogous to, I don’t know, attempting to poison a bunch of people. Fucking nail them to the wall.

It’s short and you can find a copy at your library, or on the seas.

Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

The only things that change people’s minds are peer pressure and trauma. Facts won’t do it. You can show someone all the facts in the world proving that their job sucks, but they won’t care. But if all their friends and family start calling their a boot licking shit head and won’t hang out with them? They’ll feel that.

Capitalism. The people making decisions aren’t the people doing the work. The people keeping the profits (and thus the power) aren’t the people doing the work.

I’m confident that a lot of the stuff that’s unpopular in games was put there because some ghoul thought it would be profitable, and the actual workers didn’t want to do it.

I mean theoretically, in a movie sense, if you could compromise IT or leadership , you could then probably issue orders to the field units that are destructive. Like go to a location where you’re waiting to execute them, or tell two squads to go to the same place so they shoot each other.

Why don’t we use this surveillance to nail the big companies that are polluting to the wall? (Because we are ruled by the worst among us.)

Sadly, no. Two ancient laptops (circa 2004, 2008) and a 20-something inch crt with no HDMI.

I have several old but working electronics and I literally haven’t been able to give them away for free. They’re probably going to end up in the eWaste trash. I don’t know if that leads to anything being reclaimed, but probably not.

They should be stopped.

I feel like stupid is consistent. Someone who is stupid will wear these glasses, and also act like the manager in this story.

Because they’re blood soaked assholes who would be facing very uncomfortable consequences if there was justice in the world.

I don’t know. I think some things are important. Someone who loves live music and goes to see something a few nights a week would probably be happier with someone else who, all other things equal, had a similar interest. If you’re looking to pair people up in ways that won’t work long term, because you’re a company of ghouls looking to make money, then matching the music lover with the music disliker is better for your business. With enough data points, you can probably make some confident predictions.

Hinge also isn’t making you pick from dichotomies. You enter free text for most of it, and pick as many from a list as you like for others.

One time at work someone had the idea of “let’s all swap our favorite playlists”. No one was happy. I got some like top of the charts rap that’s not my jam. The product lady got my sludgy doom metal and I don’t think she made it through one track. I think the mega kpop fan just refused to participate.

I think part of the problem is that Bethesda doesn’t really seem to have a good critical understanding. They like the superficial stuff, like children. Like this meme, I guess.
