Taking things too seriously, don't most plants benefit from their fruit being eaten as part of their lifecycle?

but they should be run by the government and get their own parking infrastructure.

Well, yeah, but some soulless husks want to profit. Personally I think we should hold some "disruption" conferences on a remote island, and then "forget" to pick them all up afterwards.

Also it's not like the workers typically get the long tail of profits. Most labor is only paid a salary, and the "owners" get to keep profiting. Workers should be entitled to the profits of their labor.

Maybe. The natural reflex is to point out the horrors of capitalism, but people are more okay with that.

I found a setting that alleged to enable snoozing, but it doesn't seem to work. This is an older android phone though.

It would be helpful if my phone had a built in snooze function. Sometimes I get a text and I want to snooze it for an hour. Just dismiss the notification and remind me later.

mostly I avoid a lot of the big drains (social media, other than lemmy) and tell people I'll get back to them within 24 hours.

I tell people I have a 24 hour response window. Barring exceptional circumstances, I'll get back to a message within 24 hours. Often faster, but that's not guaranteed.

Make sure you speak clearly with minimal slang, or they might willfully misinterpret what you're saying to deny your rights. Like to think you want a lawyer dog.

AI is a mistake and we would be better off if the leadership of OpenAI was sealed in an underground tomb. Actually, that's probably true of most big org's leadership.

Maybe, but now people will go "oh driving is easier so I'll drive" and now there are more cars in the system, and thus more traffic. If you instead also make rail easy, some of them will go "oh I'll just take the subway" and not drive.

This is an interesting point. They're going to get the final search string though, so does it matter much if when I search "baked potato recipe" they also get requests for [baked, baked potato, baked potato recipe] (assuming they denounce/split on space/etc) ?

If they were smart, they would realize conservatism's solutions (eg: hurt the queers, blacks, etc) won't actually solve their problems.

 

Not sure if this community is dead, but here we are!

I kind of stopped playing new versions around .28 because I really disliked the opportunity attacks mechanism, but I thought I'd give .32 a try. The new shapeshifter things look cool, but in fussing with it a bit it's harder than I expected.

But now the tournament is live! Who's playing?

https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.32/

I currently have one win with ye olde MiBe. Got lucky with good armor early on, and then cruised to a 3 rune (shoals + snake + vaults) win.

There was one dicey moment in the lungs where I went around the corner to reveal 4 orbs of fire, some draconians, and a lightning golem all waiting for me. Hasted + Fog'd my way the hell out there.

 

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)

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

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?
