Unironically this fragile about communism

I don’t understand

Oh shit, of course Sheogorath shows up in this thread

Read the comments under this post. You will surely not regret learning every bleak and twisted thing Lemmy users can think of

Maybe an LLM can help you solve this problem :D

… Washing machine?

I think you’re probably closest. There aren’t “filters” so much as we live in a universe that can only support life on a highly contingent basis, entirely by accident, at random intervals. It’s filters all the way down, really. None of us are getting out alive, might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

That already sounds like better work than most c-suite d-bags manage

It all hangs together. Nicely done

incredibly detailed rundown

Of course, there’s a lot I’m leaving out…

Was this off the dome, or did you have this whole thing in your pocket?

Nodding acquaintance at best really

From Software games are great because of this feeling. They allow us to experience suffering, but it’s always a suffering we can overcome. It’s cathartic.

The game is not “difficult” per se, it’s just that the underlying systems of how to make it easier aren’t made explicit. You’re meant to engage with it and learn how to create the advantages you need. It’s supposed to be a process of learning and growth that feels rewarding and earned. Or read a guide.

It’s honestly one of the easiest From games, once you engage with the particulars. Let me be clear: This isn’t an elaborate “git gud”. That began as an ironically bad opinion that inevitably became a genuine opinion held by fools.

Engage with the systems and dynamics presented to you, and you begin to see that the difficulty setting in ER (and other Souls games) exists on a conceptual level.

The exception that proves the rule here is Sekiro, which was an amazingly interesting experiment in putting you into a character’s shoes through game mechanics - the only way to beat the game is to adopt the bold and precise combat style of the main character. The difficulty of that game comes from hesitation, fear, and carelessness - and it is painfully unforgiving.

A lot of tech firms bought into the gold rush mindset. NVIDIA sold the shovels. Sooner or later, when they figure out the world isn’t excitedly opening their wallets, the bubble will pop, and they’ll move on to the next empty hype train.

Not if I was making six figures at an ice cream tasting company

It’s viable for the actual work of being a CEO, but then it becomes a “who gets to prompt it” issue.

I wish it was as simple as that, because I want the same thing. I just hate how American and Chinese auto industries seem very hand in glove with the government, albeit to varying degrees and with differing dynamics. It’s unsavoury in either case.

This kind of ramp up takes time to come to fruition. It’s not like we can just earmark the funds and suddenly be prepared for Russia’s future designs on the Baltics. We’ve got to (at minimum) keep them busy with Ukraine for as long as possible, and ideally get Ukraine free and clear ASAP ahead of a NATO bid. Especially as a Russian defeat would hopefully leave no opportune moment for China to take on further territorial ambitions. These things are all connected. Lot more lives on the line than most realize.

Is Connect ad supported? I might switch if so. It would suck to have to rebuild my tagged users though, I do the same thing.

Edit: no ads. Thank you!
