I wish union work was more common place. It seems where I live unions are mostly for blue collar work and less common than I would hope to see.

I just got a new pc back in February and I’m kicking myself for not buying more storage and ram

Whenever this comes up, it feels like a play to harvest people’s data and / or to slip additional laws into place under the guise of “protect the children”.

On one hand I don’t think it’s terrible to try to guide kids more. I think parents should be doing more parenting tbh. If a parent wants to put parental locks in place, they can. Even blocking specific sites from being accessed entirely. I think the bigger issue is people don’t understand how to use computers so they think there’s nothing they can do lol.

On the other I think it runs the risk of preventing kids from accessing information online, finding safe spaces online, and isolating kids more than they already can be. It also limits things like teaching kids about technology and how to use it safely.

I appreciate the offer, but I likely won’t be able to play it for a while. I don’t have the time that I would need to dedicate to it at the moment!

I’ve been wanting to play this game for a while. But I think in order to have the best experience, you probably need to get a group together that is willing to play at the same time as you

. I convinced a friend to play a bit(like 4 hours) with me years ago and I thought it was fun! But I don’t think he enjoyed the slower grind of the experience and he dropped off.

There’s a game called suck up, that also has this. I’ve read mixed results on it, but the idea seemed unique at least

The vending machine from cyberpunk was pretty cool but this seems like its cognitively challenged ancestor lol.

I’m getting really tired of AI everything. So far AI hasn’t seemed to make my life any easier or better. I have to try and over analyze everything I see now which isn’t fun. But yeah. Wish it would actually do something for me instead of make some billionaires richer.

I’ve been personally wondering about these laws. I am thankfully in a place that doesn’t require them yet. But I assume that some asshole somewhere is going to want our data and say “wow that sounds like a great idea.”

My assumption is that i would feed false data to bypass if possible and then say fuck it and not use whatever service it is if I don’t really need to use it. If I do need to use it and have no choice, then I guess I’m SOL and will have my data breached at some point because none of these services seem to know how to lock down their shit properly.

Sorry for the frustration lol. I just think this kind of thing is stupid and a way to steal info or watch people. I don’t think this is genuinely about safety or helping children. Especially with the latter it always seems governments throw in a bundle of laws along side any “protect the kids” laws so that they can fly under the radar while screwing people over.

I’ve been humming and hawing over if I should get this game.

My assumption was that people would play friendly or cooperate more in the early days, and then straight PVP would take over quickly. Is this the case?

The reason I assume this would happen is that there’s very little incentive to take the risk to cooperate when you could end up getting shot in the back and have your loot stolen.

The game sounds like if you were to try and min max, your best option would be to manipulate others to take advantage of any good will. Eventually, people would stop working together and just go straight to PVP as cooperative play would become too much of a risk or a waste of time.

Edit: I also don’t know how to incentivize people to play with a variety of playstyles. If they want cooperation and spontaneity to be a feature in the game, I feel like they would need to have some kind of incentive to make people play in a variety of playstyles. Otherwise, people might just completely gravitate to straight pvp.

Again I could be completely off the mark as I haven’t actually played the game, just watched others play it

I believe the Truck companies think people just want larger and larger trucks every year. I’m waiting until everyone is just driving monster trucks at this point lol

I started to think of something but…I don’t really need anything. It’s very nice of you to do this for others. Happy holidays

I recently saw this video that was an interesting slap back to reality. I hope this AI bubble pops quickly. Sooner the better

I do wonder what comes next for average people. I used to think a UBI would solve the world’s problems, but now I believe it would be just used as a method of controlling the general population. We’re a ways off yet from everything being replaced by this garbage, but when the time comes, I’m nervous about what will happen.

Just finished Metroid Prime for the first time. It was really cool. Not sure how I feel about backtracking in metroidvanias, but I really enjoyed the world and the various bits and bobs of lore.

Pokemon typing and attack types are the most important thing. Water is good against fire etc etc. I think that’s the main thing at least! I wana go back and finish pokemon X one day. I tried grinding for a special evee and I burnt myself out before I finished the actual game lol

I tried this a few years back, and while I enjoyed the concept on paper, in actual practice, I found it frustrating.

The main issue is I have no idea if someone is cheating. As much as something like a kill cam would ruin the immersion, it also would give me reassurance to know that the game is still fair.

I want to give it another shot one day and just try to accept that I have no idea if people are playing fairly lol.

I wana see how this plays out. NYC is an experiment that I can’t wait to see pan out. I really hope things change for the better there. It might spur action elsewhere.

I’ve read this is what many companies are telling staff that have to travel as well.

It’ll certainly be my plan if I ever end up going back someday

This is what happened with Amazon and all those “AI grocery stores”. Easier for them to just use people to watch you from across the world. So dumb lol
