I started playing Drakar & Demoner (now known as “Dragonbane”) in the 80’s, but after a long abscence from the world of TTRPGs I started playing D&D 5E in 2020. Now I’m exploring Pathfinder 2E, as well as designing my own GURPS-inspired game. My home in the Fediverse is https://ttrpg-hangout.social.
So if we can’t completely 100% deal with a problem, we shouldn’t even try? I mean, you’re correct, but we can’t solve all problems at once. If we deal with at least one, then we’ve made progress. Then we can try to deal with the next one.
Of course! Why, then, implying that I’m claiming to be “without sin” for saying I’m not “a giant piece of shit,” if there’s lots of degrees in between?
So the two options are being “without sin” and “being a giant piece of shit”? There is no in between?
it’s time to admit that deep down the human experience is being a giant piece of shit
Well, I’m tempted to say “speak for yourself there, buddy”. I’d agree if you said that a lot of people are like that, but you seem to imply that goes for basically everyone?
Lol, of course not.
… my cutting hammers are in the bathroom.
Yes. I’ve experimented with this too. This is the perfect use case for LLMs - there are no wrong answers, the LLM should just make something up, which is what it does.
Agreed. As far as I know, there is no actual artificial intelligence yet, only simulated intelligence.
Anti-work is anti-exploitation.
Well, then why not call it anti-exploitation? That would clear up a whole lot of things.
Something like that, yes. I believe that was the cause why /r/WorkReform was started which is much better name - less confrontational, less off-putting for people who might be on the fence on the topic. Because honestly, “anti work” means “against work”.
I get your point, but he didn’t create Tesla, he bought it (as far as I know). So it could be argued that these things would be happening with or without him. But with him, he’s giving electric cars (at least, that brand) a bad name.
Well, I haven’t pooped since last year, I bet that stuff is pretty damn hard by now if you really must know. 😅
It’s the only one that I’ve found that has Smart Play. I’m not sure why not all podcast players have this, it’s such a great feature. Going back to something without it, would feel like going back to the stone age.
Exactly. Good example.
Elon un-suspended him.
Welcome! So far, in my experience, this is a much friendlier community that… many of the alternatives.
It’s not that simple. There’s also the issue of paying rent for offices which also feeds into shareholder (although possibly different shareholders) profits, etc. I’m no expert, but I have a feeling this is all very complicated.
I think I’ve only heard it in Police Academy, when Hooks accidentally runs over the feet of one of the bad guys.
unregulated weapons made from kids
By god I hope they mean “for” kids or “by” kids. If people are making guns from kids, we really have a problem.
Yes. These people are not entitled to be business owners. If they can’t hack it, then get out of the way for the people that can. But don’t worry, business owners - I’m sure you’d be perfectly happy being a gig worker for another company instead, right?
What’s so strange about that? It’s not like the government - any government - is just one person. Of course some people in government can mess with other people in government. Even people in the same office mess with each other. Intra-office politics, and so on.
