There was an interesting video I saw online that was saying the final boss’s theme is interesting because it’s a piano piece for two players. The boss’s theme in it is very static, and the other, presumably yours, is more dynamic. Fits with the hollowing static world

Heh. Maybe “the trump line” should become slang, like the mendoza line

Who has money to spend on a subscription?

Also even when I had money, I don’t want to keep buying the game every month. It’s stressful, and sometimes I like playing other things.

Have you tried explaining something to someone lately? A lot of people don’t care and don’t understand. About anything

How does Joseph Ladapo sleep at night? Probably soundly on a mattress full of money.

I assume he’ll be spending a lot on security

RFK should be removed from office

Is meta going to face any consequences? Probably not. Seems unjust.

A crowd of hundreds blocking a bridge is. People blocking entrances to government buildings is. People surrounding bases is. People flooding the capitol or disrupting the discourse of policy is. The reason they use the military and ICE is because they are terrified that people will remember that even 1% of the US doing this far outnumbers them.

The absolute whining from people when they are moderately inconvenienced is depressing. “Sure, death camps are bad but did they have to block the bridge? I’m going to be late for my brunch!” Well, the person in a camp is going to be late for stuff, too.

You are breaking the internet with this non sense.

I think that’s their goal. Conservative types benefit when people have limited access to information

Cities don’t need to be trash covered concrete. This is a random street in Brooklyn.

Cities have a large number of other benefits as well.

It’s because you opened with “Accepting an onsite job […] places the responsibility on you to be able to commute there”, as if people are choosing this when there are other options. This “responsibility” is foisted onto people by management that demands it, and a society that demands most people labor or die. Saying “you accepted this under duress, now accept the consequences” is crap.

The rest of your point about reliable transportation and fair wages is fine.

The rich and poor alike are prohibited from sleeping under bridges. Just choose a better job! Easy! Why didn’t everyone else think of that?

Switched to linux. No regrets so far.

Of the installs I’ve done in the past year, none were absolutely flawless. One had an error that I just hit “retry” and it worked. One required some serious googling but I found the fix on reddit (rip). One didn’t work at all, and I switched to a different distro that did work.

I’m not going to lie and sugarcoat it, but once I got past the install everything has been fine. Hopefully things will continue to improve

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie

A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving or misleading someone.[1][2][3] The practice of communicating lies is called lying. A person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar.

Yeah, more protests that aren’t just like once a month. But I don’t know how to organize that, and most of the platforms that people communicate on are owned by the worst people.

Why does everything have to constantly increase profits?

I think that’s the nature of publicly traded for profit companies. The shareholders don’t care about the product. They just want their portfolio’s value to go up.

The leadership doesn’t care much about the product. Not in the long term. They get paid a big salary, and the higher-ups have equity they want to go up in value. So long as they cash out before the product dies, they’re golden.

The actual labor building the product might care. Some are just working for a paycheck. (I knew a guy who worked at spotify, actually. He didn’t personally care much about music. He was just a database guy). But the ones who do care don’t have any power.

So most of the forces that would push the company towards being long term good don’t have power. The forces that want more profits, now, do.

I don’t believe you. Sorry.

I don’t trust spotify not to fill those playlists with AI slop, now. I also personally prefer to go deeper on a band, rather than thoughtlessly drift through a bunch of stuff I’ll never hear again.

I do like bandcamp’s “people who bought this also bought this” recommendations, though.
