I do not fall under any of the demographics that will be targeted under Trumps regime, other than being a registered Democrat, I guess. But I’m still fucking terrified. Economic disparity is going to skyrocket. The environment is toast. We may see military or militarized police knocking down doors. This is a nightmare.

This looks great! I will probably play either way, but does this have puzzles? I do like the puzzle aspects of the Prime series as much as the combat and platforming.

“You like when women smell nice and sweet, or fruity, yeah?”

“Of course.”

“So you like sweet and fruity smells?”

“No thats for women.”

Like some other posts say, no idea if OP wrote this, but if the author is looking here, I want to offer constructive criticism.

There are a truly uncountable number of unjust things going on right now. There are possible solutions to many if not all those problems that exist. But no one has enough time I’m their life to fight every single injustice going on.

Do you still eat eat chocolate? A lot of chocolate is still produced with what is practically or entirely slave labor. Do you eat almonds? Those are using enormous amounts of water in California, which is already facing a mega-drought. China still has horrible labor practices in manufacturing. Most Americans still have to drive cars and that’s destroying the environment. I could go on for hours.

The point is, no one can possibly fight for every cause. Even the most dedicated, well meaning person will have to (indirectly) participate in some injustice. It’s honestly better for people to pick their battles. Find something you might have the power to change and focus your energy on that injustice.

But don’t lash out at people who are already overburdened by late-stage capitalism and don’t have the knowledge or energy to fight the same fight you are.

So…let me get this straight. The “commons” here is the potential profit of AI. And the “tragedy” is that google isn’t hoarding it and open source folks that are doing all the innovation are content to not make massive profits from their work?

If thats what this means, then I hope whatever their plan is to gain power or control over new AI tech fails. I hope the folks working on open source AI can separate their work from Meta’s original work enough that Meta no longer has any claim to it.

I have no idea what the original words were. But my coworker at an old job had one of those magnet letter boards. I just haphazardly rearranged her note and it became Scrumpf Dabogy. I liked it so much I kept it in my head until I needed it for a new account somewhere.

Its difficult to find a good measurement for a country’s success. See Campbell’s Law. But yeah, unemployment has been a bad metric from the start. They just keep using it because people don’t know it’s a bad metric.

You’re not wrong, but thats the kind of statement that leads people to doubt science. Scientists are definitely understanding more and more about how the world works. They are not becoming more and more uncertain. Its just that the more we understand, the more avenues for research we open up. We discover new unknowns to explore.

I know I’m restating what you said, but my family legit thinks that scientists all disagree with each other and aren’t sure about anything. And that mentality seems to be getting more common. Its not good.

Same. I hate google, but YouTube pays content creators better than any other platform. And I am 100% on board with any service where I pay a monthly cost instead of being inundated with ads.

It’s pretty eye opening to read this. As someone with a fairly high sex drive, I live every day with my body constantly demanding I have sex. It’s not a difficult urge to keep in check, but it is pretty constant.

I think the humor you’re talking about stems from that constant battle. No one (well someone, but not most people) would actually have sex with whatever inanimate object is being posted. Its just making light of that constant urge most of us face.

But I totally get how that could sound disgusting if you don’t share that experience. I will try to keep that in mind for the aces out there.

I got some embroidery thread and fixed up an old sweater that ive had for…over a decade? It had some pretty big tears on the sleve. Now it has some nice looking decorative stitching. :) Already a fan of visible mending.
