Down voting doesn’t show how unpopular it is, though, right? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post go negative on votes, only to zero.

Been saying this for years. I don’t eat bugs just because they came from the sea and are expensive.

Contract with a prison for labor. That’s how most businesses do it. You don’t get them to work in your shop, you get them to produce whatever onsite in the prison. Good luck with your shit morals if you do that, though. Hopefully anyone who actually takes advantage of this gets what’s coming to them with the rest of the evil fucks ruining the world.

Yeah, I bet they’re feeling a bit uneasy when something like 600B fell off their market cap.

I think it pretty much goes without saying that when you introduce a tool or automation for a thing you otherwise did manually, your skills in that thing will atrophy. Be it writing, drawing, remembering code syntax, or thinking, outsourcing your skill needs to be like the first thing you consider.

Edit: I hope it works like in the main menu where everything’s stretchy and you can freeze it in place

Same. My girl rolls in it, loves it, consumes it, then 5-10 minutes later, she’s staring at me accusingly like I’ve done something to wrong her.

This is setting aside that she only gets catnip when she screams at me for it.

Fight Milk! By bodyguards–for bodyguards. Fight like a crow.

Yeah, if people thought getting arrested for holding up signs in support of Palestine was crazy, wait until they start rounding people up for mild dissent on Twitter or whatever.

Some people were just made to weave in a circle with others or tend to a communal garden or wander the forest and hunt instead of soul grindingly miserable modern labor. 🙃

Moments before a thought coalesced into violence.

Exploitability sounds pretty terrible as a possibility, but I will say that the devs seem aware of it and the possibility of exploitation doesn’t necessarily sink a game like this. Eve often was such an amazing experience early on precisely because the game had so many openly exploitable systems.

They mention they’re looking to attract the caregiver archetype, which I assume means they’re trying not to bring the purely competitive Eve player, so maybe a healthy starting mix will help with the exploitative feeling early on?

I was actually looking into that. I might do that if there’s a bit more beefy Steam deck coming over the next year or so. Or maybe I’ll grab one of those Lenovo handhelds and throw SteamOS on it. I really wanna try some of these Switch 2 titles, though, so I think I’m gonna have to do my research and learn all the old pirate places again so I can do the ROM thing when the Switch 2 emulation gets figured out.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t be able to be taken to court, more that the argument “making a political decision” literally applies to any action a politician takes. Even if that’s not likely to succeed, if that’s the bar to clear, any sufficiently large company could just repeatedly sue an official with adversarial views, to hobble any decisions they make couldn’t they? This is purely ignorance of how the UK legal system works on my part, so I apologize if this is like super basic info.

That’s a good clarification on the UK office of Palantir, though, I fully didn’t realize that would be considered a local entity, given where they’re headquartered, but it makes way more sense in that case.

I’m a bit confused here. Isn’t the office of the mayor a political seat? Are they not allowed to make subjective decisions in the course of their duties? How is this grounding for a lawsuit at all?

I know in the US it’s a pretty low bar for a lawsuit, but I was under the impression that the UK required some genuine reasoning for going to court.

It just seems insane that an American spy company can sue another country for saying “hey, maybe it’s not a good idea to have an American spy company running our police force”.

I’d have to really think about it, to be honest. I’m sure buying used sidesteps a lot of the ethics there, but I also have been feeling less console-y lately.

I may just wait a bit and see if other handhelds figure out a solution. Yarr and all that or whatever.

I know nothing about Thomas Massie other than he calls his dick the Pinecone and he likes making the TSA feel him up, but it’s always been crazy to me that there seems to be so many credible contradictions to the US and Israel’s stance on the USS Liberty incident and seemingly everyone in power just kinda shrugs.

Ugh. I will never buy another Nintendo thing if I can avoid it, but I’d be lying if I said this game didn’t really test my willpower.

Sorry, 2-7 times a day??? Oh no
