"free market" is overrated. People aren't well informed rational actors.

You have to make sure at work you don't get blamed for other people's fuck ups, or that their bad decisions will cause huge problems for you

Ds2 is worth playing if you like the franchise/genre. It tries some stuff different from the previous game, and some of it works.

It think it's also easier than ds1, and maybe DS3. I almost cleared it without dying, just using a normal build. Because of the weird "lose max health on death" mechanic, if you die a lot it can snowball, but if you stay alive your max health is pretty generous.

Sometimes people are my old job post AI stuff and I just tell them "stop using the lie machine"

Automobile companies should be held accountable for destroying and lobbying against other modes of transit, so not really the best metaphor. Also destroying the environment is pretty bad.

Also there's no cosmic law that says tech companies had to make LLMs and put them everywhere. They're not even consistently useful.

This should be in the op

These big companies have blood on their hands and it seems like no one is willing to do anything about it.

That's a quote from Eco's essay on ur-fascism, for the unfamiliar

The main things reddit has going for it is more people, and better SEO.

Privately owned for profit orgs are extremely vulnerable to enshittification.

If they understood anything about history they wouldn't be conservative.

Well, the context used to just be there. Now it's not, and this is worse.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.

Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.

I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.

 

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
