I feel like if Musk’s company is found guilty, it can’t just be “okay pay a little fine”. It needs to be like, “Undo the damage you did, and also pay a fine to help people deal with the damage.” And if it’s impossible for them to fix the damage they did, they can get fucked. We put people in jail for decades for smoking weed, we can put some corporate grade polluters in a cell.
He should be removed from office at the very least.
will humanity ever learn to stop acting like dumb angry monkeys?
Seems unlikely.
As to your broader point about the tools themselves not being bad, the root problem remains capitalism, or “a few people have unaccountable power over many”
I feel like the current AI stuff has been net negative. It prompted layoffs and hiring freezes, but then didn’t produce quality results.
Adams is trash.
I hope zohran wins the election.
I haven’t! Seems similar to Falling Down
You have to jump when you’re doing it, too. if you touch the ground before it finishes, it won’t work and you’ll just get shocked.
If you clear some post-game optional challenges, there’s a special move you can unlock that does it easier, but that’s only useful if you want to do NG+
Hours on the centipede man, you say? Once you get into the deflect rhythm, they’re very satisfying. Fill their posture right up and then finish them. But without the timing, you’re going to take a lot of chip damage or get posture broken yourself :(
Sekiro is one of my favorites. I like that it’s not really about leveling, and it pretty much gets right into it. I could pick it up today and blast through a new game.
Do you know how to do the lightning reversal? There are a handful of bosses that it really counters.
A friend and I were talking about what’s wrong with the world, and one of the things we discussed was there aren’t any consequences for minor infractions. We’re all too polite. Someone does something shitty, like this person in their car, or someone taking up 4 seats on the bus, or throwing their trash on the street, and no one does anything. No one wants to start a fight or make a scene.
Many people operate at a very basic level of moral reasoning: avoid punishment. Some people, some of the time, achieve higher levels of reasoning like “I should follow the rules” or even “I should do what’s good for society.” But many people chill out at the toddler level of “I don’t want to be punished.” So it follows that when these oversized toddlers never get punished, they think they’re doing just fine.
But concurrently, the institution we have to enforce laws and norms, the police, sucks dog shit. Racist, corrupt, no accountability, and lazy. If I see a guy littering, I’m not going to call the cops. They wouldn’t even come, for one thing, but I also don’t want to bring a bunch of armed assholes into the scene.
I don’t know what the best way forward is. My friend suggested local “guardian angel” volunteers that patrol and “Deal with” people who are shitty, but that feels like it could just turn into the police-but-worse. But I really want people who shit up the world to stop, and it feels like they don’t have enough empathy to understand anything more complex than “you took up four seats on the bus and were blasting youtube out of your phone, so we threw you out. Enjoy walking home, asshole.”
Some kinds of people (often conservatives) don’t use words to convey consistent meaning. They use words for the effect it has on the audience. It’s emotions.
They see something bad, they reach into their bag of bad-thing-words, and pull out “Marxist”. That’s it.
They are in a fundamental sense stupid.
The most important thing for people, and by people I mean all of us at times, is in-group belonging. None of us are immune to that. We look to our peers for cues on how to behave and what to believe.
Some people consider like scientists and experts in-group, and trust them. Some don’t.
This need for in-group cohesion is more important than facts and figures. It’s more important than the text of some book.
So when all your friends and family are saying that Christianity means one thing, it’s unlikely you’re going to disagree.
Oblivion? One of the best RPGs ever made? This is a joke, right? It’s not even the best Bethesda game.

Most self described Christians don’t really follow their religion very well.
Ownership will abuse labor as much as it can. Sometimes to make more profit. Sometimes for murkier reasons. I think some management are just stupid and they’d hurt the company to follow their unfounded feelings.
Labor should organize.
NYC had good turnout despite the rain.
There was a post recently saying the total sum of wage theft, including conventional theft and the results of suppressed wages, totals to like $50 trillion over the past few decades.
Shit’s bad. But other than the rich, people in the US have like no class consciousness.
CEO seems like an idiot and/or coward.
On the one hand, yes. On the other, I don’t want them to stick around doing evil for a long time. Maybe something immediately debilitating that takes a long time to finish?
I was hoping you would explain what you meant by “There’s not a reason to fight most enemies in most video games to be honest”. I don’t think that’s a true statement. I think most games do give reasons to fight enemies.
I haven’t played enough BotW to really weigh in on it, specifically.
There was a rally to support Lander this afternoon. Pretty good turnout for a sudden gathering on a Tuesday.
He gave a short talk after he was released.
