  • Noita!: I agree with many in dubbing it my favorite single player game.

    It is a pixel art alechemy and magic roguelike where every pixel is physically simulated and destroyable. Find spells and wands and combine them in programmer like ways to multiply their power. Many tricks in the game are so strong they feel like cheating, but the game has been built with challenges that surpass every trick.

    It is the epitome of endlessly repayable. Especially switching between the few mods that drastically change the map.

    I can easily have a god run last me 5-10 hours. But I still have a lot of fun with the more common 30min-2hr runs.






  • That was way more explosive than I expected.

    If anyone else see this can they explain how wanting voting day to be a national holiday before juneteenth is so touchy?

    Like having voting day off would be a tangible benefit to everyone, especially any folks that live paycheck to paycheck or have more abusive employers. It would literally swing our politics in the favor of our most vulnerable.

    To me juneteenth is important, but more in a historic and emotional sense. Which is cool, but like if we were gonna do just one I’d pick the one that helps the most folks.



  • For most shareholders in most businesses, the risk is that you are no longer as rich as your peers.

    Most US households can’t weather a $1000 unexpected expense without going into debt.

    To be real, capital gains are the definition of inequality. It is making money by having enough money to own something. There is no other economic force that drives inequality more.

    Small business is a decent minority of US employers. It can’t be ignored, but it is the unlikely case when sampling by employee or just by random citizen.

    At most an owner can be reimbursed for their costs of starting the business. Past that I don’t see any reason to give them a special share of the profits. Even that feels generous given how unequal we are, and that fact that having the money to start a business means you are likely more privileged than your employees.



  • Depends, are you considering the fact that 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10% of Americans? Also are you considering that being in the top 10% means you likely have rich friends and family that could bail you out? I think black rock is going to be fine.

    Most businesses aren’t like my friends parents little Chinese restraunt.

    To me using the, “think of the shareholders” line is silly for a reason. The biggest privilege is the privilege to make mistakes without becoming impoverished. Workers have it much harder in that respect.
