I think most people are so disorganized in their thinking, they can’t “prompt” well. There’s a lot of unclarified assumptions and leaps in how many people communicate

One time I couldn’t figure out how to do something in this old game I was replaying. Typed in the problem, and found an old forum post of mine where I explained what to do in that section. At least I didn’t do a classic “nevermind - solved it” post back then.

Legitimately aggravating. Well done.

I remember an old coworker said he was anti union. “I’d just find another job if I didn’t like the one I had”, he said. Bold claim.

Criminal penalties for decision makers. Jail time. Disgorgement of profits.

I commented at work that giving the non technical team AI would be like giving toddlers chainsaws.

I got another talking to about making people feel bad.

Bunch of ghouls and whiners here.

This is refreshing. I’m so tired of right wing people being like “the government can’t do anything right and I’m going to prove it by sabotaging and starving the government”.

I recently read “People’s History of the United States” and it paints a much grimmer picture of the early US. It didn’t take long for the alien and sedition acts to be written, despite the grand language about freedom. There’s also many, many, years of labor asking for more than dirt and being violently suppressed.

Right? If they had just kept windows as “fine” I probably would not have made the switch to Linux. Inertia is powerful. Now I’m full Linux time and have no regrets. Pop!_os with the kde desktop is fine

Seems like most people don’t really care about or understand stuff like “private platforms enshittify”. Certainly not enough to be inconvenienced. People will be like “that’s where the good memes are” or “that’s where my video games post”. Heavens forbid you miss the hot memes.

The song game. I feel like a lot of people have come up with it naturally.

One person plays a song. The next person has to then play a song with some sort of connection to it. Like, you could follow the velvet underground’s “Sunday Morning” with Nirvana’s “Lithium” because it has the line “Sunday morning is every day for all I care”. Any connection is valid so long as the group accepts it, but I prefer lyrical ones myself.

That’s it. You go around until you lose interest.

I like it as a way to share music, because to do well you typically have to actually listen with their song.

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

My understanding is a lot of the rich assholes with the power to do something about this view these deaths as desirable.

I would only intentionally live somewhere with good mass transit. I don’t want to own a car. I don’t want to feel like owning a car is playing on hard mode.

That’s a big factor in why I’m in New York City. There’s good transit that runs 24/7.

There’s also places to go. Things to do. Saw like five bands play this summer. If a band is going on tour they’ll almost certainly play here. There’s beaches. There’s parks. You can take the train and hike up a mountain.

Some stuff is expensive but there’s deals. My favorite bar has $5 beers. My favorite grocer has $1 fruit. My friend lives in a house with a bunch of fellow queer weirdos and pays like $1k rent for their room.

I’m not really involved but there’s a lot of queer content here, too. My friend really found their people and filled a void they didn’t realize they had when they lived in suburban Midwest.

That’s tough. Lot of choices. Are we filtering by “most impactful” or “most likely to replay” or something else? I’ll go games that made a big impression on me. There’s some boss towards older games.

• Diablo
• Final Fantasy 7
• Baldur’s Gate
• Dark Souls
• Guild Wars 2

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.

These people are horrible and I would celebrate their fall.

I feel like most of the people with money would just play it up to be super cool instead of a dystopia. And given the Epstein stuff, not lightly edit it so the girl is of appropriate age.
