That’s a fun mistake to make. I had a similar thing happen with Kubuntu uninstalling my GPU drivers. I could never figure out what caused it.

The world is full of creatives who make things without any expectation of income, but people create anyways. Look at open source software, or the many youtubers who don’t get enough views to get paid yet they post anyways. There’s quite a few journalists who operate solely on optional donations.

Fuck IP. Copyright is theft. IP kills.

You should take a 20 minute shit every day on company time

If you can’t own it, you might as well “steal it”

But hey, property is theft anyways so who the fuck cares if I copy media without paying the ghouls who “own” the work made by other people they pay pennies of their dollar

Of course that kid grew up to be a cop

Inside you there are two wolves

I make slow cooked chicken burritos and freeze them. Takes about 1 hour of prep, and about 6 hours to cook so it isn’t easy, but I only gotta do this occasionally. If I do this in conjunction with meal prep it takes a lot longer to prep, but then I can have a work week of food, and have like 8 burritos for when I’m too lazy to cook.

No. Of course not. I put it in quotes since I was being sarcastic.

Vampire the Masquerade and Pathfinder 2nd Edition. They are different systems.

[I want a game] where a happy ending isn’t guaranteed in the slightest and the DM is fine to end the campaign in a total tragedy.

100% this. While I don’t think meat grinder campaigns are the only way to achieve this, I’m enamored by running a game like this. I’m currently thinking about my next game, and I’m torn between a VtM game set in Ukraine during the Russian revolution, or a PF2e game set in a civil war of my own creation, and I think that would be one of the best situations to run a game like this. I want there to be loss, and I think the brutality of civil war is perfect for it.

but Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, can’t even get the mental health services he obviously needs

Lmfao

I’d rather get healthcare at all. I’ve been too poor to afford any medical care at points in my life, I’d settle for even some low quality care as opposed to none at all and hoping that this new weird pain either is insignificant and goes away without issue, or it gently takes me out in the night.

I’m excited to see where pirate medicine goes. I’ve met a trans woman who told me that her DIY HRT was life changing in the best possible way, and I can only dream of what would happen if people started making their own Insulin or T or whatever

I fucking love pirate medicine. Fuck the US healthcare system, what good is having the “best healthcare in the world” if you can’t even afford mediocre healthcare?

You need a bit of both. I don’t want a cakewalk for my storytelling, but I want some break from the pain train every now and again.

Like, i’d love a good story, but I wanna work for it and risk things to get the reward at the end. I don’t want the game to be a formality, I wanna roll dice and worry about whether or not I’m gonna die sometimes

I’ve run into the same problem with an API server I wrote in rust. I noticed this bug 5 minutes before a demo and panicked, but fixed it with a 1 second sleep. Eventually, I implemented a more permanent fix by changing the simplistic io calls to ones better designed for streams

Oops! I didn’t test my hand-written assembly code before hooking it up to a radiation gun, hopefully it isn’t possible to have my power variables underflow and cook a man

I’m gonna have to snag that doom book. I love low level programming and I’ve heard a lot about how hacky game dev used to be and that just excites me

What are those books on Doom and Wolfenstein? Is it the game development black book by sanglard? That’s the book I found with a bit of searching

I love my car for the fact it doesn’t do anything crazy. Buttons and switches for everything, bluetooth for music, and a minimalist infotainment system that may as well only be there for the phone pairing process.

I might be in the minority, but I hate Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. I don’t want anything fancy, just music. I don’t want all the bells and whistles of my phone, just music.

Women are the most beautiful people in the world and I love it

It might be legit. But it isn’t accurate, or even a good representation of political opinions. I have no idea what the source is.

There is a solid chance that someone mapped biden’s would-be responses to some political compass test’s questions and genuinely got this. I know the most famous political compass has a few quirks like placing most people in libertarian left somewhere near the center, tends to exaggerate authoritarianism, and so on.

I’ve taken the most famous test a dozen times, and a few times throughout my life. I know I scored roughly 4, -4 in early high school, and -7,-8 later on. But last time I took it I was -9, -9, and though that’s a small gap, my politics are nowhere what they used to be. I went from a right wing libertarian to a libertarian democratic market socialist, to an anarchist communist.

The difference on the compass between -7, -8 and -9, -9 is tiny, but past me and current me are so far apart ideologically that the gap there is silly.

Personally, I’d have him at 4, 5, though his reaction to things post oct. 7 is making me consider placing him more towards the top right.

And now that I think about the fact that I want to place him way up there kinda shows how our view on where people should be on this compass is based on nothing than relative opinions, vibes, and the issues we care most about.
