Some people love their country like a child loves their parent. Uncritical. They can do no wrong and are the best ever. Don’t be like that.

Some people love their like like a peer loves a peer. You see their flaws and want them to be the best they can be. Be like that, even when it’s uncomfortable and difficult.

Venture capitalists (idiot husks with more money than brains, but tremendous ego and unjustified confidence) give world-changing amounts of money to a lot of stupid shit and hope at least one of them somehow turns into a big payday. Sometimes they break laws (eg: uber, airbnb). It’s a horrible way of running a society.

We could be solving homelessness, hunger, diseases, the climate crisis. Instead, these fucking idiots are pouring millions of dollars into shit like “an AI to listen to music for you”.

I’ve been saying that for years. Now I have about 250 albums drm-free on Bandcamp. A good chunk of that money went to the people making the music, too.

I know there are people out there paying a subscription to Spotify who listen to the same dozen albums over and over, too.

Imperial system (or whatever the US system is called ) should go away. Let’s all just one standard.

Unfortunately, since I’m from the US, I only really know this one, and it’s hard to switch when nothing else has switched. I’d put up with the pain of switching though.

Most people don’t think much beyond their immediate needs. Their moral framework stops at “will I be immediately punished?”

Something abstract like this will miss with many of them.

Please start live streaming your actions in public for us all to watch. You don’t have any abusive exes or family members, I hope. Also I trust you’ve never said anything to irritate right wing fanatics. Maybe if it’s a little more personal, you’d have a little more empathy.

Also, of note, not all limits are from the law. Peer pressure and private businesses saying “You can’t do that in here” are also tools.

Something being legal doesn’t make it good.

People want to be able to go out into the world without being filmed. That was the case for thousands of years. It is not unreasonable to expect limits on recording in public.

Now one of the worst organizations on earth (meta) wants to record everyone and everything for their private benefit. People are mad.

I’m an outlier I guess. I don’t think I have any subscriptions.

The people who pushed for such a blatantly unconstitutional law should be removed from office.

I’ve heard good things about kagi, but $10/mo is pretty steep

I also blame search engines. I type like “python file open parameters” and I really just want the official docs. They’re not even on the first page of DDG.

I would accept a compromise that bans targeted advertising. Static ads have been around for probably as long as writing, and they’re not great but they’re not the nightmare spy dystopia.

People assume it’s all terminal all the time. I haven’t needed to open the terminal for months. It starts up. With the GUI I open the browser. Maybe steam, too. Do stuff. Shut down.

He left you unattended in his apartment? Bold.

Don’t just stay there all day. Go home. Make plans for a third date. That’s weird to just stay there.

The biggest problem is most players aren’t paying attention and won’t remember everything.

If you do elves and dwarves, they’ll have some idea of what’s happening.

If you do the Wilfren and the Senderri, they won’t. Even if you explain it a dozen times. Even if you show them in a dozen scenes.

I may just have trauma from being in poorly fitting groups, but I think getting people to learn a bunch of your custom lore is always going to be a long shot.

If you make the world collectively, you’ll have a better chance of it working. But some players hate being creative like that.

I don’t disagree with your post but I’m pretty sure the joke in the meme is the one calling themselves a nice guy is actually an asshole. That’s revealed in the “stop ignoring my DMs” ending. So it’s not actually a pro “nice guy” meme. Which you probably got, but maybe missed it?

The problem is capitalism. Specifically, the consolidation of power in a small number of decision makers.

Break up the big companies. Stop letting them do mergers and acquisitions. You don’t even have to do something radical like dismantling capitalism entirely.

Yeah, if you initialize them to None then for the entire rest of the class you’re going to have to account for the possibility that they’re None. If it’s unavoidable that they might be None, you should type it as such.

If you type them as like str | None then later when you do like return foo[0] it will warn you that you can’t do that with None.

That seems like that’s going to give you an error in most type checkers. You said it’s always an int and then immediate made that a lie and made it None instead.

Why are you trying to do this?

Maybe, if was cheap. Dislike Google and Apple.

Don’t care so much about games on the phone as like GPS, texting, ad blocking in the browser.
